What is Hawkhost?
Features provided by Hawk Host
Let’s take a look at the different hosting plans and additional services that Hawkhost offers to its customers.
Shared web hosting
HawkHost’s shared web hosting packages are among the most affordable ones you can find in the market. Additionally, they come with several free features that every web administrator finds useful.
There are two shared hosting packages – Primary, priced at $2.99, and Professional, priced at $7.99. Both plans offer very favorable conditions. They both support unlimited websites, provide unlimited bandwidth, and unlimited databases.
Moreover, migrating to Hawkhost is offered for free! And more importantly, you will receive unlimited free SSL certificates for your website. SSL certificates are key to operating a secure and safe website, so receiving them for free is always a welcome reward. You also get unlimited subdomains and email accounts.
The main difference between the two packages is the disk space provided. Primary comes with 10 GB of disk space, while Professional comes with unlimited SSD storage.
Additionally, both packages include a one-click application installer, which will make starting to build your website on any CMS you choose even easier. Well, not any – they have the necessary software to support WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Magento – but again, most people use one of these CMS options.
Since HawkHost is a partner of Cloudflare, their data centers are optimized for Cloudflare. This will help improve the performance of your website.
Defect:
- Limited Customer Support Hawkhost only provides support through tickets – that is, email. Although they typically respond quickly, it’s often recommended to choose a web host that offers more support channels, including live chat and phone calls.
- Uptime Issues While HawkHost guarantees 99.9% uptime and tests usually prove this, some customers have complained that this isn’t always the case. Tests also confirm this – there are some months where their uptime only drops to 99.6%, which is lower than ideal. However, this is a very rare occurrence!
Conclusion
So – do we recommend HawkHost? Generally, yes! Mostly. They offer good features, competitive pricing, and helpful support (you know, they’re Canadians) even though there can be some reliability issues at times. But even though they might not be perfect, they’re definitely worth a try.
