📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

EskHosting is a long-established web hosting provider operating since 2006. The brand has been associated with Herbix LLC, while its business structure includes operations in the United States and Sri Lanka. The main international service is in English and uses USD pricing, while the Sri Lankan operation provides locally priced services in LKR together with support in English and Sinhala.

The hosting portfolio covers Shared Hosting, cPanel Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WooCommerce Hosting, cPanel Reseller Hosting, DirectAdmin Reseller Hosting, Free Hosting, Domains, Domain Transfers and SSL Certificates. VPS services remain covered by the Terms of Service and can form part of larger hosting requirements, although the current standard product range concentrates mainly on shared, WordPress and reseller hosting rather than a fixed VPS or dedicated-server catalog.

The main shared-cloud platform operates on 20i's autoscaling infrastructure. This gives EskHosting access to distributed cloud resources, NVMe storage, automatic scaling, load balancing and a geographically distributed delivery network while maintaining its own hosting packages, account management and customer support.

Shared Web Hosting is positioned at the budget end of the market. Startup costs $0.50 per month when paid annually at $6 and supports one website with 25 GB NVMe storage, five databases, 25 mailboxes with 1 GB each and unlimited bandwidth. Professional increases capacity to ten websites and 50 GB NVMe for $0.75 per month. Agency supports 50 websites and 100 GB for $1 monthly, while Enterprise costs $1.25 per month and removes the stated limits on websites, storage and databases.

These plans include autoscaling cloud resources, NVMe storage, StackCP, free SSL certificates, CDN acceleration, email hosting, one-click applications, PHP support and distributed load balancing. PHP versions from 5.3 through 8.3 are available, giving customers considerable flexibility when hosting both recent applications and older PHP-based websites.

A separate cPanel Web Hosting range is available for customers who prefer the traditional cPanel environment. Economy costs $1.99 per month and provides three websites, 10 GB NVMe storage, 2 GB RAM and two CPU cores. Deluxe costs $2.99 with ten websites and 20 GB NVMe, while Ultimate costs $4.99 and allows unlimited websites with 50 GB NVMe storage. Unlimited bandwidth is included across this range.

The cPanel platform includes LiteSpeed, CloudLinux account isolation, ModSecurity, malware scanning and removal, daily JetBackup backups, SSL certificates, email accounts, databases and FTP access. This provides a more conventional hosting environment than StackCP and will be familiar to users migrating from another cPanel provider.

WordPress Hosting uses EskHosting's autoscaling StackCP environment. WP Startup starts at $1.99 per month with 25 GB NVMe storage and 100 GB monthly bandwidth. WP Professional includes 100 GB storage and 300 GB bandwidth for $2.99, while WP Enterprise costs $3.99 and removes the stated storage and bandwidth limits. Each package is intended for one WordPress website.

WordPress-specific features include staging, centralized WordPress management, free SSL, CDN acceleration, edge caching, malware scanning and WooCommerce support. The combination of low pricing and managed WordPress features makes this range suitable for blogs, business websites and smaller content-heavy projects.

The dedicated WooCommerce Hosting range follows the same $1.99, $2.99 and $3.99 monthly price structure, with 25 GB, 100 GB and unlimited stated storage respectively. It adds an environment optimized for online stores, including StackCache, ElasticSearch compatibility, staging, CDN delivery, SSL protection and security features. This provides an inexpensive route for small and medium online shops that need more WooCommerce-oriented functionality without moving to a VPS.

Reseller hosting is one of EskHosting's strongest areas. cPanel Reseller Hosting starts with 20 cPanel accounts and 50 GB NVMe storage. Its regular price is $19.99 per month, with an introductory first-month offer of $9.99 using the WELCOME50 promotion. Professional supports 50 cPanel accounts with unlimited stated NVMe storage at $34.99 per month, while Agency supports 100 accounts at $79.99.

Each cPanel reseller customer account can receive up to two CPU cores and 2 GB RAM. The reseller platform also includes LiteSpeed, daily JetBackup, white-label hosting, private nameservers, SSL certificates and migration assistance, making it suitable for web agencies, designers and smaller independent hosting businesses.

DirectAdmin Reseller Hosting provides a lower-cost alternative. DA Entry supports 25 accounts and 50 GB NVMe for $11.99 per month, with an introductory first-month price of $5.99. DA Pro supports 100 accounts with unlimited stated NVMe storage for $44.99, while DA Enterprise supports 250 accounts for $79.99. White labeling, custom nameservers, LiteSpeed and daily backups are included.

EskHosting also provides Free Hosting without requiring a credit card and without inserting advertising into hosted websites. The free account includes one website, 500 MB NVMe storage, 100 GB monthly transfer, one MySQL database, one email account, one FTP account, DirectAdmin and a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The service has a 99.9% uptime SLA, making it useful for testing, learning, development and small personal projects.

Domain registration covers more than 500 extensions and includes WHOIS privacy, DNS management, email forwarding, domain locking and transfer protection. More than 10,000 domains are managed through the service. A .com registration costs around $15.23 per year and .net around $17.53, although pricing varies considerably between extensions and promotional periods.

Domain transfers are also available and normally add an additional registration year when supported by the applicable registry rules.

SSL services include commercial certificates alongside the free Let's Encrypt certificates already supplied with hosting accounts. RapidSSL starts at $11.99 per year and Sectigo EssentialSSL at $14.99. These are domain-validated certificates supporting 2048-bit encryption and a stated $10,000 warranty.
