📄 Editorial Review

HOSTiQ.ua is a Ukrainian web hosting, cloud infrastructure, domain and server provider operating since 2013. The service is legally operated by Ukrainian sole proprietor Sergey Skurikhin, founder and CEO of the ZONE3000 technology group. HOSTiQ is closely connected with this broader Kharkiv-based technology organization and has grown to a team of more than 90 employees working in Ukraine and other locations.

The company has one of the broader hosting portfolios available to Ukrainian customers. Its services cover shared hosting, cloud hosting, managed CMS hosting, WordPress hosting, VIP hosting, email hosting, reseller hosting, KVM VPS, Cloud VPS, dedicated servers, backup storage, domain registration, SSL certificates and a website builder. Specialized packages are also available for blogs, forums, landing pages, online stores, business websites, students, charitable organizations and customers requiring infrastructure in Ukraine, Western Europe or the United States.

Shared Hosting is the principal entry-level service. The HQ packages use SSD storage, LiteSpeed, cPanel, unlimited traffic, Softaculous and Imunify360 protection. Free website migration is included, and the hosting environment supports PHP as well as development technologies such as Python and Django.

HQ10 includes 25 GB of storage for as many as ten websites. Larger plans increase storage to 50 GB or 75 GB and permit more websites and greater resource consumption. Customers can choose infrastructure in Lviv or Rotterdam, while separate regional hosting packages are available from Atlanta. Shared hosting includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee and can be tested before committing to a longer subscription.

Cloud Hosting provides additional resilience for online stores, company websites and heavily visited projects. Website data is replicated across three storage devices, allowing another disk to continue operating when hardware fails. The service uses SSD storage and Intel Xeon servers with substantial memory capacity in Rotterdam.

Cloud hosting includes a 99.9% uptime commitment. Qualifying downtime is compensated with one additional free service day for every 30 minutes of interruption. This arrangement gives businesses a clearer service guarantee than ordinary shared hosting.

VIP Hosting bridges the gap between shared hosting and a virtual server. These plans use NVMe storage and provide higher processor limits, dedicated IP addresses and daily backups. They are suitable for demanding WordPress websites, larger online stores, busy forums and Python or Ruby applications that need more resources without requiring the customer to administer a VPS.

The managed CMS range includes WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop and OpenCart. The selected platform can be installed before the account is delivered, while migration assistance, automated installers and detailed educational material make the service accessible to customers without server-management experience.

The WordPress packages are especially practical for beginners. They combine a prepared WordPress installation, migration assistance, tutorials and options for launching an online store without manually configuring the complete environment.

The SitePro Website Builder includes approximately 190 responsive templates for company websites, portfolios, landing pages and online stores. Websites automatically adapt to desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. Customers can connect their own domain, create branded email accounts and add e-commerce functionality.

Softaculous is included with shared-hosting products and provides automated installation for hundreds of website applications. It is useful for customers who want to deploy a CMS, forum, gallery or other application without manually creating databases and uploading installation files.

Email Hosting can be ordered separately from website hosting. The Email 5 package provides 5 GB of storage, as many as 50 mailboxes and one mail domain. Email 25 increases capacity to 25 GB, 500 mailboxes and ten domains. Email 50 includes 50 GB, as many as 1,000 mailboxes, 20 domains and a dedicated IP address.

Anti-spam and antivirus filtering are included with the email platform. This makes the service suitable for companies that need professional domain-based email while hosting their website on another server or platform.

Reseller Hosting allows developers, agencies and entrepreneurs to create a hosting business under their own name. The R1, R2 and R3 plans include between 50 GB and 150 GB of SSD storage, unlimited traffic and dedicated IP addresses. Capacity ranges from approximately 100 websites to an unlimited number of hosted websites.

Resellers receive cPanel and WHM, private nameservers, branding options, Imunify360, SitePro and Softaculous. HOSTiQ maintains the server hardware and core technical environment, while the reseller creates packages, manages customers and controls billing and branding.

The conventional KVM VPS range provides isolated virtual machines with root access, SSD storage, guaranteed RAM, swap space and 100 Mbps network ports. VPS locations are available in Lviv and Rotterdam.

Traffic is unmetered under normal operating conditions. Sustained monthly usage above 5 TB can result in reduced port capacity until the beginning of the next calendar month. Longer billing periods can include a free domain and an Essential SSL certificate when the order meets the applicable promotional conditions.

Cloud VPS is a more flexible infrastructure platform built with OpenStack and Ceph distributed storage. Resources can be increased without rebuilding the entire environment, and customers can create private networks, firewalls, floating IP addresses, security groups and load balancers.

The platform supports Docker, API-based automation and Terraform integration. These capabilities make Cloud VPS more suitable for developers, infrastructure administrators and distributed applications than the conventional KVM VPS packages.

Cloud resources can be deployed in Lviv or Rotterdam. Billing is calculated hourly through resource units, with one unit valued at $1. Infrastructure in the Netherlands includes approximately 20% more computing resources for the same number of units.

A separate n8n VPS is delivered with the self-hosted n8n workflow-automation platform installed. Customers receive root access and can create automated workflows without the workflow and execution limits commonly applied to hosted n8n subscriptions. Practical capacity depends on the processor, memory and storage allocated to the VPS.

Dedicated Servers are available in Ukraine, France and the United States. Configurations include Intel Xeon, Intel Core and AMD processors, SSD or HDD storage, RAID options and a choice of Linux or Windows operating systems.

There is no separate server-assembly or installation fee. A dedicated IP address is included, and additional IP addresses can be ordered when required. Traffic is nominally unlimited, although usage above 10 TB during one month can reduce a standard 100 Mbps port to 10 Mbps unless another bandwidth arrangement has been agreed with support.

The backup platform provides CDP storage for VPS and Cloud VPS environments. Backups can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly and stored in Ukraine, the Netherlands or the United States. Customers can select a backup location different from the server’s primary location to improve geographical redundancy.

Backup capacity starts at 10 GB and extends through larger packages suitable for complete server images and more substantial virtual-machine environments.

Domain services include registration, renewal and transfer across approximately 1,237 extensions. Ukrainian regional domains are available alongside common international extensions. The bulk domain-search tool can check as many as 1,000 domain names in one operation.

SSL certificates are available for standard websites, online stores and organizations requiring stronger identity validation. An Essential SSL certificate can be tested for ten days before purchase.

The website is modern, responsive and convenient to use on both desktop and mobile devices. Full versions are available in Ukrainian, Russian and English, although the Ukrainian and Russian sections contain the largest collection of documentation and support material.

Product prices are available in UAH and USD. Card settlements are processed in Ukrainian hryvnia, with the cardholder’s bank handling conversion when the payment card uses another currency.
