📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Hostime.al is an Albanian domain-registration and web-hosting provider operating from Tirana, Albania. The business operates as Hostime.al Albania, doing business as Happyaz LLC, with its registered address in Kashar/Mezez, Tirana. Its online history goes back at least to 2015, with company articles dating from that year.

The service range covers shared hosting, VPS, reseller hosting, dedicated servers, domain registration and transfers, email hosting, SSL certificates, Windows virtual servers, Linux virtual servers, WHOIS tools and bulk domain registration. Cloud hosting is also part of the broader offering, although the main ordering catalog concentrates primarily on shared hosting, VPS, domains, reseller services and SSL certificates. Hostime is especially oriented toward Albanian customers and businesses that need .al domains together with locally hosted services.

Shared hosting is one of the strongest parts of the offering. The Linux hosting range consists of Lite, Standard, Business and MegaHost. Lite includes 4 GB storage, 50 GB monthly traffic, ten email accounts, ten databases and one addon domain. Standard increases storage to 10 GB and traffic to 100 GB. Business includes 50 GB storage, 200 GB traffic, up to 500 mailboxes, unlimited databases and five addon domains. MegaHost provides 100 GB storage, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited addon domains and unlimited databases.

Shared plans use cPanel and include File Manager, email administration, database management and support for multiple PHP versions. Softaculous provides one-click application installation, while Installatron is also used within the hosting environment. Daily backups, DDoS protection and 24/7/365 technical support are included, making even the inexpensive entry packages reasonably complete for conventional websites, blogs and business email.

The VPS range consists of Starter, Basic, Advance and Business packages using SSD storage and ECC RAM. Starter includes 3 GB RAM, one Xeon CPU core, 20 GB SSD storage, 200 GB traffic and one dedicated IP address. Basic increases this to 5 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD and 500 GB transfer. Advance includes 7 GB RAM, two CPU cores, 60 GB SSD and 1 TB traffic, while Business reaches 16 GB RAM, two cores, 120 GB SSD, unlimited traffic and five dedicated IP addresses.

VPS accounts include full root access, unlimited domains and subdomains, a choice of Linux operating systems and CWP7. Additional server features include Varnish caching, Let's Encrypt SSL, mod_security with OWASP rules and Softaculous. DNS integration with Cloudflare is also available. Some older VPS information still refers to HDD storage and different allocations, while the active ordering configuration uses SSD storage, so the current checkout configuration is the appropriate specification when placing an order.

Windows and Linux virtual-server services are also available by quotation. The Windows options include Windows Server 2008, 2012 and 2016, while Linux choices include CentOS and Ubuntu. These server options belong to an older portion of the service catalog, particularly the Windows operating-system selections, so customers requiring a specific modern Windows or Linux release should confirm availability before ordering.

The reseller hosting range combines SSD storage, backups, DDoS protection, cPanel-based account management and 24/7/365 support. Pricing is less consistent than for ordinary shared hosting because several reseller prices remain in different parts of the service. Older configurations begin at $9.99/month for Basic, $19.99 for Advanced and $29.99 for Business, while the client ordering system contains a substantially higher reseller starting price. A current quotation is therefore particularly important for reseller accounts.

A dedicated server option is available by direct contact. One listed configuration uses an Intel Xeon 5520 processor, 24 GB RAM and a 1 TB hard drive, starting at $199/month, with full management and cPanel. The available dedicated-server information is relatively limited and the hardware belongs to an older generation, making direct confirmation of the current server inventory advisable before purchase.

Domain registration is an important part of Hostime's business. Available Albanian extensions include .al, .gov.al, .org.al, .com.al and .kos.al, alongside international extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .info, .eu, .de, .uk, .ro, .it, .fr, .io, .ai and .tech.

Foreign customers can register an .al domain, although Albanian registry requirements apply to the administrative contact. Hostime can provide the required local administrative contact when necessary. Third-level Albanian domains can require additional documentation. Albania's .al registry is administered by AKEP.

SSL certificates are available in Domain Validation, Organization Validation, Extended Validation and Wildcard forms. The range includes products from RapidSSL and GeoTrust. Automated validation, renewal and certificate deployment are available when hosting and SSL are managed within a compatible Hostime environment.

The main company website uses English, while the client area supports a much larger range of languages: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Albanian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian. This makes account administration considerably more accessible to international customers.

Most current hosting, VPS, domain and SSL products are priced in EUR. Some older reseller and dedicated-server sections continue to use USD.

The website has an older hosting-template appearance, with duplicated content, spelling issues and several legacy specifications that have not been synchronized with the active order system. It remains usable on mobile devices, but customers should rely on the final order configuration for current resource allocations and pricing whenever an older sales section differs from checkout.
