Zomro.com review

First impression

Zomro is an international web hosting company that was established in 2014 in Ukraine by Denys Dunaievskyi, who is still their CEO to this day. Zomro offers services including Shared Hosting, Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Forex VPS, and Domain Registrations. They are made up of a team of 40+ highly experienced hosting professionals offering affordable hosting services to clients all over the world.

Trial Period

They offer a one month trial on their Shared Hosting for new customers to experience their services and to decide if they are a good fit or not. One needs to note that once you have signed up, money cannot be refunded, so use that one free month wisely to test if they live up to your standards.

Billing Cycle

Zomro provides ample payment flexibility for their Shared Hosting, Dedicated Servers, and VPS packages. You can pay on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, with longer durations being fairly discounted. And if you're signing up for one of their highest-end plans, their VPS plans, even have an option to pay per day, a rare but convenient option if you're just wanting to dip your toes in or need one for some short term.

They now accept payments by Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal, as well as all major cryptocurrencies.

Control Panel

All Shared Hosting packages from Zomro include cPanel, one of the most easy-to-use and most all-encompassing web hosting control panels available. This panel comes with one-click installations of content management systems, creation, and management of email accounts, databases, and more. On their VPS hosting, Zomro offers Hestia Control Panel by default. Hestia is powerful but light on resources; their web-based server management makes tasks like backups, security, and even website creation easy. In my personal experience, both are fantastic! As a new user with cPanel or seasoned pro with Hestia, hosting operations are easy with both control panels.

Limits

Their Shared Hosting plans all run on high-performance Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 processors and super-fast Samsung NVMe SSD 970 EVO drives, and they come in four scalable yet affordable options. The ‘Affordable’ plan includes a generous 10GB of NVMe SSD disk space, 1024MB DDR4 ECC RAM, and 2 MySQL databases. Next is the ‘Favourable’ plan, featuring 20GB of NVMe SSD storage, 1280MB DDR4 ECC RAM, and unlimited MySQL databases, ideal for medium-sized eCommerce websites. The ‘Optimal’ plan offers 30GB of NVMe SSD disk space, 1536MB DDR4 ECC RAM, and unlimited MySQL databases, while the ‘Corporate’ plan, their top-tier option, provides 50GB of NVMe disk space, 2048MB DDR4 ECC RAM, and unlimited MySQL databases. All plans include a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt and unlimited bandwidth.

For VPS plans, customers have several options ranging from the ‘Starter’ plan, with 1 Core CPU, 2GB RAM, and 12GB NVMe disk space, to the ‘Cloud Supreme’ plan, which boasts 10 Core CPUs, 70GB RAM, and a massive 400GB NVMe storage.

Website Builder

Although Zomro doesn’t include any dedicated website builders in their plans, all plans come with one-click installation options for popular CMS (Content Management Systems) like WordPress or Joomla. These systems offer all the tools needed to create professional and aesthetically pleasing websites quickly, without requiring any coding knowledge.

Security

When it comes to security, Zomro offers an auto SSL certificate for free (thanks to Let’s Encrypt) on all their Shared Hosting plans. Such certificates renew automatically shortly after setting up your domain, securing your data without even sweating about it. Firewall protection is also added automatically, along with standard protection from DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks that shield your site from harmful traffic as well as attacks. But if you're going for the VPS option, brace yourself as the security on that front is entirely up to you.

OS

Zomro uses CloudLinux for its Shared Hosting plans, which is known for enhancing stability and security by isolating each user in a 'lightweight virtualized environment,' thus improving performance. For VPS hosting, users have a variety of operating systems to choose from, including CentOS 9, celebrated for its enterprise-level reliability, and Ubuntu (20.04 / 22.04 / 23.04), as well as Debian 10 / 11 / 12, AlmaLinux 8 / 9, and Rocky Linux 8 / 9. For Windows-based VPS plans users have the option between Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022.

Support

Their agents, very professional and well-trained, are available 24/4 via Phone (Ukrainian and English speaking), Live Chat, and Support Tickets. Replies are very quick and the level of support I received left me impressed, to say the least. Probably one of the best and most competent technical support departments I have had the pleasure to deal with!

Conclusion

If you're looking for a solid, budget-friendly, and, most importantly, reliable hosting option, Zomro fits the bill. It’s a great choice for those seeking affordable Shared Hosting or customizable VPS plans, all backed by impeccable support. The free SSL certificates, basic DDoS protection, and flexible billing options are definite perks. However, if you're expecting fancy features like website builders or extensive managed services, you might want to explore other options.
