Eurobyte.ru review

First impression

Not very user-friendly website. There are no actual plan descriptions for Shared hosting. The only displayed for them is the price and disk space amount. Also, there is only Russian website version. On the other hand, EuroByte offers nice discounts for all of their packages: 10% off, if purchased for 6 months and 20%, if purchased for 12 months. Moreover, the company offers a lot of unlimited features for Shared hosting packages: domains, databases, bandwidth etc.

Additionally, the prices are quite low: starting fro, $2.37/mo. What’s more, EuroByte offers separate CMS hosting. You can choose amongst the following CMSs: Joomla, NetCat, HostCMS, WordPress, Drupal, Umi CMS and 1C-Bitrix. VPS hosting looks better. Tech specs are described and the prices are fairly low. For instance, the most expensive package (at $120/mo) includes 16 CPU cores, 32Gb RAM and 500Gb SSD disk space. The company does not provide Dedicated hosting packages.

Trial period

Currently, EuroByte offers 30-day trial period for all hosting packages. To get the free Shared hosting package, it is required to add minimum $0.75 to your account balance. For VPS hosting you’ll need to add at least $4.50.

Billing cycle

Monthly, semi-annual and annual cycle is available for all Shared hosting packages, including CMS and VIP hosting plans. The following cycles are offered for VPS: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual.

Control panel

ISPmanager is included to all Shared hosting packages. For VPS hosting plans it’s possible to use ISPmanager or Vesta. ISPmanager is at $3.75/mo.

Limits

VPS servers plans have their usual CPU core, RAM and disk space limits that are indicated in the plan description. As for Shared hosting, the number of domains, MySQL databases and email accounts is unlimited. The bandwidth should be unlimited as well. Additionally, depending on the package, CPU usage limits vary from 15% to 100%. Also, scripts and process limitations can be found in the ToS (Terms of Services).

Security

There is not much information regarding servers security. Anti-DDoS protection is included to each package. Backups are created every 48 hours for Shared hosting package.However, they are not automated for VPS packages. Though, you can find the instructions how to configure automated backups in ISPmanager.

OS

CloudLinux runs on Shared hosting servers, including CMS and VIP hosting. For VPS hosting it is possible to install CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu.

Support

EuroByte provides 24/7 ticket support. It’s possible to submit a ticket only from the account after registration. It’s quite hard to locate where you can submit it or ask the support team a question. The support representatives are quick and fairly accurate. In addition, in case you need help with your website or VPS administration, maintenance and software set up, you can purchase advanced technical assistance at approximately $15 per hour. The company does not provide a knowledge base. Instead, they have a small Q&A section that covers only very basic topics.

Conclusion

Generally, the company makes mixed impression. On one hand, we have the lack of information regarding Shared hosting packages, a weak knowledge base and the absence of an English version of the website. On the other hand, the VPS packages price-quality ratio is very good and the Shared hosting package pricing is fairly low. Nevertheless, we assume that this hosting is worth a try.
