📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

WebHosting.qa is a Doha-based hosting and domain-services provider operating under the name The Host Web – Qatar. The company has served customers in Qatar since 2005 and maintains close operational links with Orange Qatar (orangeqatar.com), including website-design and recruitment contacts.

The service range is aimed primarily at individuals, startups, and small or medium-sized businesses that prefer local assistance rather than a completely self-service hosting platform. Its main product is conventional Linux shared hosting, accompanied by Windows application hosting, domain registration, email hosting, DNS management, SSL certificates, website migration, website-building services, VPS hosting, dedicated servers, and reseller hosting.

Shared hosting uses cPanel and combines website space, monthly bandwidth, email accounts, FTP access, database support, and a complimentary .com domain. Customers can move between packages as their resource requirements increase, while customized configurations are available for projects that do not fit the standard plans.

The Linux environment supports PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, forums, and other database-driven applications. Accounts include SSH access, scheduled cron jobs, custom PHP configuration, traffic statistics, password-protected directories, file management, email administration, and automated application installation.

Windows application hosting is available for ASP.NET, MVC, Razor, and Microsoft SQL Server projects. This provides a useful alternative for businesses running Microsoft-based applications, although the current Windows Server version, SQL Server edition, and management panel should be confirmed before deployment.

Email services support POP3, IMAP, secure mail connections, browser-based webmail, forwarding, autoresponders, spam filtering, and virus protection. Customers can use addresses connected to their own domains and configure them in Outlook, Thunderbird, smartphones, tablets, or other compatible mail clients.

Domain services cover .qa, .com, and .net registrations, domain transfers, DNS hosting, email forwarding, and web forwarding. Website transfers are handled without an additional migration fee, making the service practical for customers moving an existing site and email setup from another provider.

The product information still contains older technical references such as CentOS 6.3, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.3.6, MySQL 5.5, Fantastico, FrontPage extensions, Flash, and Shockwave. These components belong to previous hosting generations and should not be treated as current production specifications. Customers planning a new deployment should request the active operating system, supported PHP versions, database versions, TLS configuration, backup schedule, and application installer details before ordering.

The website is available in English only, with no Arabic or other localized version. Prices are displayed in Qatari riyals, using both QAR and QR abbreviations.
