📄 Editorial Review

Webstar Technologies, also known as Webstar Uganda, is a Kampala-area digital services and hosting company founded in 2011 by Fred Abunyanga, who remains its founder and CEO. The company combines web hosting with domain registration, website design, e-commerce development, search engine optimization, mobile application development, custom software, website maintenance, content creation, and ICT consulting.

Its services are primarily aimed at businesses, schools, NGOs, agencies, developers, media organizations, and individual customers in Uganda. The company also serves customers in Rwanda, South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, and other East African markets. Local telephone and WhatsApp assistance give Ugandan customers a more direct support channel than they would normally receive from a large international hosting provider.

The regular shared hosting range is designed for personal websites, company websites, blogs, and smaller online projects. These packages use NVMe SSD storage and include email accounts, MySQL or MariaDB databases, SSL certificates, and round-the-clock technical support. Storage allocations begin at 1 GB on the entry package and reach 15 GB on the larger shared hosting plan.

WordPress hosting combines NVMe storage with LiteSpeed, LSCache, Softaculous installation, anti-DDoS protection, JetBackup, email accounts, databases, and SSL certificates. These packages are suitable for customers who want a managed environment for WordPress without configuring a VPS or maintaining an independent server.

A separate NVMe hosting range provides larger resource allocations and support for multiple websites. Features include NVMe storage, unlimited bandwidth, allocated RAM and CPU resources, SitePad website-building tools, free SSL certificates, anti-DDoS protection, LiteSpeed, email hosting, and multiple domain support. This range is better suited to agencies, larger business websites, and customers managing several projects from one account.

Windows hosting is available for websites and applications that depend on IIS, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, or other Microsoft technologies. The plans use Plesk and include SSD storage, email hosting, SSL certificates, backups, FTP or FTPS access, databases, and website-building tools. Some package information still references Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, so customers with modern Microsoft applications should confirm the currently installed Windows Server and SQL Server versions before ordering.

The VPS hosting range includes full root access and scalable SSD-based configurations. The entry VPS includes 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of SSD storage, while larger plans reach 24 GB of RAM, six allocated CPU cores, 240 GB of SSD storage, and 24 TB of bandwidth. VPS hosting is suitable for developers, business applications, custom software, growing websites, and customers who need administrative access to install their own services.

Dedicated servers range from entry-level Intel Xeon E3 systems to larger managed Xeon configurations. Available features include SSD storage, 1 Gbps network ports, DDoS filtering, IPv4 addresses, RAID options, operating-system installation, and managed administration on selected packages. Server provisioning normally requires between 24 and 72 hours. Some configurations still mention CentOS 7, which has reached end of life, so a currently supported Linux distribution such as AlmaLinux should be requested.

Developer-oriented services include Node.js hosting and Python hosting. Node.js customers receive an application launcher, environment-variable management, SSH access, selectable Node.js versions, custom package installation, NVMe storage, and resource statistics. Python hosting supports applications built with Django, Flask, and related frameworks, together with PIP access, SSH, environment variables, anti-DDoS protection, NVMe storage, and JetBackup.

Webstar also maintains an extensive reseller hosting portfolio. Entry reseller plans use cPanel and WHM with NVMe storage, LiteSpeed, SSL certificates, dedicated IP options, free migrations, and configurable customer accounts. Additional packages are available with DirectAdmin, cPanel and WHM, WHMCS licensing, and master-reseller functionality.

The reseller services are particularly relevant to Ugandan web designers and small digital agencies that want to provide hosting under their own brand. WHMCS-enabled packages add automated billing, invoicing, account provisioning, suspension, cancellation, support tickets, and domain-reseller integration.

Some reseller package descriptions contain inconsistent specifications and references to unrelated third-party providers. Before purchasing a long-term package, customers should obtain written confirmation of the included control-panel license, WHMCS license, account limit, disk allocation, CPU and RAM resources, migration service, backup schedule, renewal price, and management scope.

A distinctive part of Webstar’s portfolio is internet radio hosting. The company provides Shoutcast, Icecast, Centova Cast, AzuraCast, and Shoutcast reseller hosting. These services include Auto-DJ, scheduled playlists, podcast storage, recording space, HTTPS stream links, listener statistics, remote encoder support, web players, advertising and jingle management, configurable bitrates, and reseller account creation.

Radio customers can use Centova Cast or AzuraCast according to the selected package, with Icecast or Shoutcast handling the audio stream. These services are suitable for online radio stations, churches, educational organizations, broadcasters, DJs, and media groups that need continuous streaming without maintaining their own server.

Domain registration includes common international extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info, together with Ugandan extensions including .ug, .co.ug, and .ac.ug. Website design packages can also include a domain name and one year of hosting.

The website operates in English, and most hosting prices are displayed in Ugandan shillings (UGX). Its overall design is modern and suitable for mobile devices, although several product sections contain duplicated headings, legacy software references, and specifications that need confirmation before purchase.
