📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Dot.MG is a Malagasy domain registrar and web hosting provider operated as a commercial brand of Home Made Softwares. The business has operated since 2009, while the dot.mg domain has been active since 2011. Mahefa Randimbisoa is associated with the company as its owner and manager.

The company has a strong local identity and is an accredited registrar for Madagascar’s .mg country-code extension through NIC.MG. Domain registration is therefore one of its most important services. Customers can register .mg, .com.mg, .co.mg, .org.mg, and .net.mg domains, together with common international extensions such as .com, .net, and .org. A WHOIS utility is available for checking domain availability, registration details, and expiration information.

The service range includes shared hosting, email hosting, Linux hosting, Windows hosting, semi-dedicated hosting, domain registration, website creation, and translation services. The portfolio is primarily designed for individuals, local organizations, and small businesses requiring inexpensive web and email services.

The entry-level shared hosting packages are deliberately simple and do not include a conventional hosting control panel. Customers upload website files through FTP and manage MySQL databases through phpMyAdmin. The plans include HTTPS, PHP, MySQL, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, subdomains, and email forwarding. The number of email addresses is not restricted, although all mailboxes share the storage allocated to the account.

The smallest 50M package includes 50 MB of storage and 500 MB of monthly traffic. The 150M package increases the allocation to 150 MB of storage and 1.5 GB of monthly traffic. The 2G package provides 2 GB of website storage, 20 GB of monthly traffic, and another 2 GB reserved for email.

These entry-level quotas are extremely small by current hosting standards, but they can still accommodate a basic company presentation, personal website, contact page, or lightweight email setup. Traffic overages do not immediately result in account suspension. Customers are instead expected to move to a larger package during the following month.

The advanced hosting range provides Linux hosting with cPanel and Windows hosting with Plesk. These packages include storage allocations of 1 GB, 5 GB, or 20 GB, with monthly traffic limits ranging from 10 GB to 200 GB.

Linux hosting supports PHP, MySQL, Python, Ruby, Perl, scheduled cron jobs, and secure FTP over TLS. It is the more suitable option for common content management systems and open-source web applications.

Windows hosting supports Microsoft SQL Server, ASP, .NET, PHP, email, and FTP. This gives customers a practical option when their websites or business applications depend on Microsoft technologies.

Dot.MG also maintains a separate email hosting range. These packages provide between 2 GB and 50 GB of shared mailbox storage, with larger allocations available for an additional annual charge. They support SMTP, POP3, IMAP, email forwarding, and an unrestricted number of email addresses within the purchased storage capacity.

A custom semi-dedicated hosting service is available for websites requiring more resources than standard shared hosting. Each configuration is prepared according to the project’s traffic and resource requirements rather than through fixed public packages. This option can accommodate more active websites, including projects approaching 10,000 visits per hour.

The Starter Pack combines a small five-page website with hosting and a domain name. A generic domain is included during the first year, while the accompanying 20 MB hosting account remains free as long as the domain continues to be renewed and the website remains within the storage allowance. Larger hosting allocations can be added separately.

Translation and proofreading services are also available between Malagasy, French, and English. Additional freelance translators can be arranged for other languages and specialized documents.

The website is available only in French, although assistance is also available in Malagasy. This local focus is appropriate for customers in Madagascar, but it makes the ordering process less convenient for international customers.

The interface belongs to an earlier generation of hosting websites, with a narrow fixed-width layout, limited automation, and product information spread across several sections. Some pages contain visible PHP permission warnings, while the separate company blog is unavailable. These maintenance problems weaken the overall professional impression, especially for a company selling web development and hosting services.
