Orangehost.com review

First impression

OrangeHost, otherwise known as "OrangeHost LLC", is a USA-based Shared Hosting company established by Haider Ali Khan in 2014 in 2014 Wilmington, Delaware. Being a fairly new company, it offers secure Shared Hosting and Domain Name Registration under 24-hour customer support.

Trial Period

They don't offer any trial period, but all their Shared Web Hosting packages are covered with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can initiate the cancellation in the Client Area if you don't like their service or if they are not functioning as anticipated. You will be notified immediately after it is noted.

Please include the fact that Shared Web Hosting plans purchased on promotion, or with a promotion code, and Domain Name registration, Domain Name transfers, and Domain Name renewals are not refundable.

Billing Cycle

Customers can opt for a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly plan. They have an ongoing offer where customers opting for a yearly plan receive a 48% discount, and a free domain name. These are, however, subject to withdrawal at any time.

Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, PayPal, and American Express are accepted forms of payment.

Control Panel

OrangeHost provides cPanel, an extremely popular web hosting control panel that provides a graphical user interface and automation tools to simplify website and server administration, with all of their hosting plans. Many hosting companies use the control panel and it is well known for being extremely easy to use, which makes it easy for a wide range of users, from new users to complex administrators.

Limits

Their Shared Hosting plans, powered by LiteSpeed Web Servers with blazing-fast RAID 10 NVMe SSD drives, offer customers six plans to choose from. The Micro plan includes 5GB of disk space, 1 Shared CPU, 1GB RAM, and a limit of 10 hosted domains. The Mini plan includes 10GB of space, 2GB RAM, 1 Shared CPU, and hosts 20 domains. The Small plan includes 15GB of disk space, 3GB RAM, 1 Shared CPU, and a limit of 30 hosted domains. Moving up, the Basic plan includes 20GB of space, 4GB RAM, 1 Shared CPU, and hosts 40 domains. The Master plan includes 25GB of space, 5GB RAM, 2 Shared CPUs, and hosts 50 domains. At the top end, the Platinum plan includes 30GB of space, 10GB RAM, 2 Shared CPUs, and hosts 100 hosted domains.

All feature a Free Domain, Unmetered Bandwidth, Unlimited Email Accounts, Unlimited Free SSL, 1-Click WordPress Installer, Daily Automatic Backups, Unmetered DDoS Protection, and Live Malware Protection.

If you are transferring from another host, they have free website transfer.

Website Builder

OrangeHost provides customers with their own specifically designed website builder, 245+ professionally created templates. It's easily customizable with a simple drag-and-drop builder, perfect for customers with little technical ability. While the builder does have a monthly fee, it comes with a free business email, SSL certificate, and hosting when you buy it.

Security

OrangeHost servers are guarded by an Imunify360 Firewall, an advanced server security system. The system uses specially designed elements to provide real-time web server and website protection. Their hosting plans also have default features like Unmetered DDoS Protection, which guards against all network layer attacks, Live Malware Protection, and Fraud, Virus, and Spam protection. They also offer Unlimited SSL Certificates by Let’s Encrypt.

As a safety net against any unforeseen issues, OrangeHost can recover your information because of the free daily backups. The backups are stored on remote servers in a different data center for additional security.

OS

The host employs CloudLinux, an operating system (OS) built for shared hosting providers, on their LiteSpeed servers. This OS, built on CentOS, stabilizes the servers by isolating each client in a safe environment. The isolation splits, distributes, and limits server resources such as memory or CPUs, which enhances the security and performance of the hosting environment.

Support

They provide quick and extremely professional support by their extremely qualified support team, 24/7 via Live Chat, Emails, or Phone. During my test, I received almost immediate responses via live chat, and even via email (sent out-of-hours), the response was received within an impressive time frame of 15 minutes.

Conclusion

OrangeHost does not have VPS or Dedicated Server Plans, but they concentrate their efforts on doing a great job at Shared Hosting. Their plans are very cheap and offer good security, supported by top-class support. It is a great choice for whoever is searching for Shared Hosting services.
