Trial period
dotPH promises to maintain high server uptime but shies away from committing to an uptime network guarantee. In addition, the vendor offers no free trial or refund policy.
Billing cycle
dotPH hosting plans are quite expensive and these costs can get even higher if billed on an annual basis. All the same, the hosting plans come with flexible monthly and annual billing cycles. Moreover, the prices of these hosting plans are listed in U.S. dollars.
Their prices are slightly higher than what other providers offer. Customers can choose between 1-year or 2-year contracts and monthly billing cycles. They accept multiple payment methods including: MasterCard, VISA, Discover, American Express, bank transfers or checks.

dotPH shared web hosting solutions are divided into two packages: cPanel hosting and dotPH optimized hosting. Get peak performance at affordable prices, using the most popular web hosting control panel. Linux’s industry-standard servers provide you a simple yet flexible control panel. Whether you’re starting your business or managing several of them, you’ll get a reliable hosting service and control panel that can adapt to your needs.

Limits
Shared hosting is divided into single domain hosting and multiple domain hosting. Single domain hosting starts from 30GB disk space, 50 e-mail accounts and 10 subdomains whereas multiple domain hosting starts from 10 domains and 200 email accounts. Probably the only disadvantage is that features do not come in unlimited form, as there are many popular hosting providers that incorporate these industry-standard features in unlimited amounts.

Security
Although dotPH hosting solutions have free SSL certificates, the vendor offers additional SSL certificate plans that come with more advanced features. What’s more, this hosting firm provides five days of incremental backup options. The incremental backups are smart backups that help save space and time by only backing up a copy of data containing the portion that was changed since the last backup copy was made.

OS
It's great to know that dotPH offers hosting services based on the Linux operating system. Linux is a popular choice for web hosting due to its stability, security, and flexibility.
Support
Their system runs 24/7 and tech support is available on toll-free phone, e-mail or ticket support. You can also contact them on Twitter or Facebook.
Customers in the Philippines can also visit them in their offices during business hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (GMT+8), Monday to Saturday. The support team is quite fast in its responses to potential customers; I sent them an email and got a response in minutes.

Conclusion
| Pros | Cons |
|
|
dotPH has designed its hosting solutions to serve all kinds of business models, even large corporations with high-traffic websites. Its decision to invest in high-end hosting infrastructure is perhaps the reason why it is a popular web host in the Philippines. Their products are pricey and these are not refundable. There is no specific mention of any uptime guarantee, but nevertheless, dotPH is a good choice as they provide well-equipped products.
