🎯 Conclusion

UOL Host provides a wide range of plans including a good set of tools and features. However, one disadvantage with their web hosting solutions is that they do not provide dedicated servers.

Prices are reasonable, although there is no mention of a money-back guarantee. They operate from a large data center in Brazil, but that is rather disadvantageous because it could affect availability and the running of network in other areas of the globe.

Support is available 24/7 and there are several options to get in contact with UOL Host team. One issue might be that the support is available only in Portuguese.

They operate with the leading control panels in the hosting industry and promise a simple interface for your administration tool.
UOL Host offers a good collection of web hosting solutions to choose from, with the promise of a great uptime percentage and rich features for your plans.
