📄 Editorial Review

Temok is a global hosting and infrastructure provider based in Dubai, focusing on a broad mix of shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS and cloud instances, dedicated servers, and a long list of managed cloud and application services. They have been active in hosting since around 2008, and over time the portfolio expanded from classic shared hosting into fully managed cloud stacks, databases, and even GPU and Mac servers. They are like a "one-stop" provider where a small project can start on cheap shared hosting and later move into managed cloud or bare metal without leaving the ecosystem.

On the entry level, they offer Linux shared hosting in the USA and Netherlands, alongside Windows shared hosting in the same regions. Linux shared plans run on CloudLinux with cPanel, free SSL and a website builder, and are clearly aimed at low-cost personal and small-business sites. Windows shared plans add support for ASP.NET and MSSQL with Plesk as the control panel, giving .NET developers an easy way to deploy projects in either US or EU locations.

Above that, Temok leans heavily into VPS and cloud hosting. Their Linux Cloud VPS hosting line is quite extensive, with "Cloud Instance" plans starting at 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM / 25 GB storage and scaling right up to high-end nodes with 128 GB RAM and many terabytes of SSD space. All of these cloud instances come with full root access, dedicated resources, generous bandwidth (up to 8 TB on larger plans), and managed service by default, so customers who want hands-off operations can rely on Temok to handle patches and monitoring. Regions for these Linux cloud instances include USA, Canada, London (UK), Netherlands, Germany, Singapore and India, with additional cloud locations dedicated to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Poland, Finland, Malaysia, Indonesia and other parts of Asia and Europe.

The Windows side is similarly broad. There are Windows VPS / RDP plans in many countries (USA, Canada, Ireland, UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Korea, India, Netherlands), which are useful for remote desktops, Windows-only applications, trading platforms, and SEO tools. On top of that, there are Windows cloud RDP instances in regions such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Italy/Poland/Finland and Malaysia/Indonesia, giving good coverage in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific for latency-sensitive workloads.

For larger projects, Temok maintains a big catalogue of dedicated servers. Customers can choose bare metal in USA, Netherlands, Russia, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UK, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, China, South America and Australia, plus special SEO configurations and GPU servers and Apple Mac dedicated machines. These servers can be ordered with different CPU families, RAM sizes and RAID storage layouts, with options for custom builds if the standard configurations are not enough. Many of the dedicated lines are marketed as fully managed or at least offer managed add-ons, so system administration can be delegated if needed.

Beyond pure hosting, Temok also sells domain registration (with support for hundreds of TLDs), SSL certificates, Google Workspace business email, backup and cyber-protect services, anonymous VPN, semi-dedicated and dedicated proxies, and a whole tier of managed cloud and application stacks. The managed section covers WordPress, Magento, Laravel, Drupal, Joomla, Prestashop, WooCommerce and more, plus managed AWS EC2, Kubernetes, and managed databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis, Oracle, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Prometheus, Cassandra and Odoo. For a customer who wants a specific application "just running" without building the stack manually, Temok can take over deployment and ongoing care.

Overall, Temok is a provider that targets technically aware customers and agencies who need worldwide locations, managed services and flexible billing, while still offering very cheap entry-level shared hosting for small projects. There is a strong emphasis on having a presence in many countries, taking Bitcoin and multiple other payment options, and offering 24/7 support with a relatively small but focused team.
