📄 Editorial Review
Hostek is a long-running managed hosting provider that has been active since 1998, operating under Miss Group, Inc. d/b/a Hostek.com. They work with staff in both the United States and the United Kingdom and focus strongly on managed servers and application hosting rather than just cheap shared plans. Over the years they have grown into a platform managing thousands of servers and many thousands of customer sites, with a clear emphasis on ColdFusion, Windows, and managed VPS/cloud environments.They offer most of what a small or mid-sized business might need:
- VPS / Cloud servers on Windows and Linux (including cPanel VPS) with options for managed and unmanaged setups.
- Specialized ColdFusion and Lucee hosting, both on shared environments and on dedicated VPS/cloud servers.
- Classic shared hosting for Windows (ASP.NET, MS SQL, PHP) and Linux (cPanel/PHP/MySQL), including WordPress-optimized variants.
- Reseller hosting for Windows, Lucee/ColdFusion and cPanel, often built on top of VPS for better isolation and scalability.
- Email hosting based on SmarterMail, SSL certificates, domain registration, load-balanced and geo-failover setups, VPN/VLAN solutions and extra security options such as Monarx protection and identity monitoring services.
A distinctive element is their long-term commitment to ColdFusion and Lucee. Many mainstream hosts have quietly dropped CFML stacks, while Hostek still offers ColdFusion-focused shared and VPS plans with integrated tools (datasources/DSNs, scheduled tasks, CFAdmin integration, ColdFusion version switching) and a custom Windows control panel adapted to CF workloads. For agencies and legacy applications that still depend on ColdFusion, that kind of specialization is quite valuable.
Infrastructure is built across multiple Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centers rather than a single site. Servers can be placed in St. Louis (Central US), Ashburn, Virginia (East Coast US), Reading (UK), Enfield (London, UK), plus Kungälv and Karlskrona (Sweden). This spread facilitates low latency for different regions and allows for multi-site designs where applications can fail over between data centers.
The website, help center and control panels are in English, and pricing on hostek.com is shown in US dollars. There is also a separate hostek.co.uk presence for the UK market and hostek.se for Sweden/Nordic.
Overall, Hostek is a mid-market managed hosting provider: not a "budget" host, but a platform aimed at businesses that want stable infrastructure, long-term stacks like Windows/ColdFusion, and a support team that can step in at server level.

😞 When I first began hosting my SmarterMail service on their servers I was impressed. Tech support was very quick and helpful. They even helped me by supporting my SmarterMail software which was not part of the offering.
Then something changed. No more phone support. Instead submit a chat window in their website and wait up to hours for a response. Over the 3 years I have experienced about 5 significant outages. To me a significant outage is anything over 1 hour for a mail server. Each time it happened I'm stuck on the phone with 100+ angry customers. They replaced my SEP protection with their own and no notice. Their endpoint protection software prevented me from RDP. The final straw is the extremely poor performance over the past few weeks. Freezing up my server and waiting until they get around to rebooting it. Stay away from these guys.
