📄 Editorial Review

Exabytes is a long-running Southeast Asian hosting and cloud group that started in 2001 under founder Chan Kee Siak and has grown into one of the region’s better-known digital infrastructure brands. From its roots as a Malaysian web host, it has evolved into a broader provider of AI, business apps, cloud, digital marketing, and ecommerce solutions, while still putting classic hosting at the center of its international offering. The international site on Exabytes.com operates in USD and targets a global audience, while regional brands in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia focus on local currencies and markets.

For traditional web hosting, they offer several lines rather than a single shared platform. Business Web Hosting is aimed at small businesses and newcomers who want to get online quickly with minimal technical effort. Plans come with SSD storage, free SSL, a free .COM domain (with annual terms), bundled email accounts, weekly or daily backups, LiteSpeed web server, Website Security360 protection, and Cloudflare integration. This line is marketed as beginner-friendly and includes an "interactive hosting advisor" inside the control panel to guide new users.

Alongside this, Exabytes maintains a full cPanel web hosting range. These plans (cPanel 12 Beginner / Plus / Pro / Max) are clearly targeted at users who already know and prefer cPanel. They combine industry-standard tools with SSD storage, free domain, free SSL, LiteSpeed, WordPress management and acceleration, and defined visit quotas per month. Higher tiers increase storage and traffic allowances and add extras such as Exabytes web design and marketing credits and a dedicated account manager for the top plan.

There is also a dedicated WordPress hosting line (WP 12 Beginner / Business / Ecommerce / Ultimate). These plans run on SSD with LiteSpeed cache for WordPress, Website Security360, daily or weekly backups, and a set of WordPress-centric benefits: automatic management and acceleration, extra security hardening, and support for WooCommerce and other CMS at the higher tiers. The WordPress plans are clearly tuned for performance-oriented WordPress sites and online stores and come with a free .COM domain on annual terms.

On the Microsoft side, Exabytes offers Windows SSD web hosting powered by Plesk for customers running ASP/ASP.NET and SQL Server workloads. This range is positioned for those who need Windows-specific technologies but still want the same general package: SSD disks, branded hardware, US-based servers, 1-click installers, SSH/SFTP access, and automatic backups.

Beyond shared hosting, Exabytes has a broad VPS portfolio. The SSD VPS hosting on Exabytes.com emphasizes full root access, high-performance SSD storage, improved loading times, and "guaranteed availability and reliability" for fast-growing applications. There are variants such as Asia VPS (for workloads needing low latency into Asian markets) and Windows VPS, plus Plesk SSD VPS for users who want the Plesk control panel on a managed virtual server. These VPS options bridge the gap between simple shared plans and a fully dedicated server while retaining managed elements and support.

For high-end workloads, Exabytes sells managed dedicated servers hosted in Denver, Colorado, with Linux and Windows options. Linux dedicated plans (Value, Deluxe, Ultimate) are fully managed, use Intel Xeon E3 hardware, include RAID-1 protection, up to 32 GB RAM, SSD or SATA drives, 20 TB bandwidth, multiple dedicated IPs, daily backup, and 1 Gbps port speeds. Windows dedicated servers offer similar resources with Windows OS, RAID-1, generous bandwidth, free SSL and daily backups. These are aimed at resource-intensive applications that need consistent performance and dedicated resources but still want a managed environment.

The "Servers" section also includes server colocation in the Denver data center, letting customers host their own hardware in Exabytes’ cage. For those who prefer to resell, Exabytes offers cPanel reseller hosting, letting agencies and developers package hosting for clients under their own brand while Exabytes runs the infrastructure behind the scenes.

Around these core hosting offerings, Exabytes provides domain registration, SSL certificates, business email hosting, Google Workspace, website design credit on certain plans, and various security extras such as SiteLock. Taken together, the portfolio is designed so a small or mid-size business can register a domain, host its website, secure it, and run its email and collaboration tools from the same provider, with the option to upgrade into VPS or dedicated servers as the project grows.

Exabytes is an all-in-one partner rather than a bare-bones discount host, with an emphasis on long-term stability, managed services, and regional data center presence across the US and Southeast Asia.
