WinsHosting is one of the most popular hosting providers based in Pakistan. They offer shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated servers to meet the needs of all their customers. In addition, they have domain name registration options to help keep all web related services centralized in one place. While their customer base is primarily in Pakistan and the surrounding region, they do have website owners from around the world.
The company has been in business since 2003 and they have done a great job at keeping their prices low and the quality of service high. No matter what type of site you are running, this company can almost certainly handle the hosting for you.
The hosting with this company is going to be very stable. They have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which is pretty much the industry standard these days. In addition, they have a 100% server security guarantee, meaning they guarantee that your sites won’t get hacked (due to server issues) or be down due to other security related issues. Of course, if you install something on your server that is not secure, that is not part of the guarantee. Overall, however, you’ll find that you won’t have issues with downtime.
When you look through the hosting features you will see that they are all fairly standard, not that this is a bad thing. In addition, they have put a high level of focus on web-security, with a 100% guarantee on all their servers. The shared hosting plans are broken up into four categories, with two packages in each category. You can choose from Linux or Windows for the operating system. Entry level shared hosting provides you with 1 gig of disk space, 25 gigs of bandwidth and 10 email accounts. You do get a free domain with this package, but no options for add on domains. From there you can scale up all the way to the business plan, which has 300 gigs of disk space, unlimited bandwidth and email accounts, 5 add on domains and much more.
For those that need more power and control, their virtual private servers are a great option. You can choose from six packages, each of which has dedicated Intel CPU cores, disk space, RAM and more. You’ll also get dedicated IP addresses for your sites.
Finally, they have dedicated servers, which are hosted in their Pakistani data center. They all use name brand hardware, including Intel CPUs. The prices are quite reasonable for what you’re getting, though make no mistake that these are the top of the line servers. Most people, however, will be very happy with the level of service they have with the dedicated servers.
If you run into any type of trouble with this hosting company, they are there to help you get through it. You can use their live chat features, phone support or submit tickets. From what other users have said, they do a great job at getting back to you with solutions to problems and are staffed 24/7. The one issue with the support from this company is that they don’t have much for self-help information. They do have a knowledgebase available, but there are no articles in it, which makes it essentially useless.
When browsing through the different options you will almost certainly like what you see in terms of pricing. First, the prices are listed both in US dollars and in the local Pakistani currency, which is very nice. When looking at shared hosting plans you will see that they start at $20 per year, which is a great price. Also, they have the same prices for Linux and Windows, which many hosting companies no longer do because of the added cost of Windows based servers.
VPS hosting starts at $28 per month and goes up from there. At each level you will be getting a very nice VPS hosting solution at a very reasonable price. While not the lowest prices I’ve ever seen, they have struck an excellent balance of price and quality. Finally, the dedicated servers. These servers start at $144 per month and can go up to over $1000 per month depending on the hardware specs you need. While most of the dedicated servers are reasonably priced, you will want to take care to ensure you’re getting the best deal possible.
Their website is very easy to use. It is extremely clean and efficient and everything is very easy to find. The features for their hosting packages are clearly laid out so that you will instantly know what you’re getting and how much it is. They even list their prices in US and Pakistani currency to make it even easier. They really do seem to go out of their way to give users a great experience.
The hosting with this company is likely the best you’ll find in Pakistan. They have a lot to offer, stable environments, quality services, excellent pricing and much more. If you want hosting in this region, you should absolutely consider using this company.
