First impression
Pleasant website design and a very user-friendly interface. Apart from the Russian website version, they have a Spanish, English and Chinese versions that are under construction.
Shared hosting packages are rather cheap: from $2.50/mo to $13.50/mo. The main feature of these packages is that only disk space is limited. What’s more, the disk quota varies from 5Gb to 100 Gb, so it’s quite easy to find a suitable package. Moreover, Shared servers are very secure. Another distinctive peculiarity of this hosting provider is that they allow adult content on their Shared servers. So far, the majority of hosting providers restrict this kind of content not only on their shared servers but on VPS and Dedicated ones as well.
ProHoster offers a variety of VPS hosting packages. Generally, they are cheaper in comparison to other hosting providers: from $2.60/mo to $58.90/mo. The characteristics are rather good. For example, the most expensive package (at $58.90) includes 4 CPU cores, 32 Gb RAM, 200Gb SSD and 1 IP address. Additionally, all of the packages have unlimited bandwidth. Moreover, the company offers Windows VPS servers. They actually are VPS servers with KVM virtualization, so you can install any OS on them.
Dedicated servers are not very expensive, however, the are quite weak. For instance, at least half of the servers are powerful desktop computers rather than servers. Although these servers cost not that much, it would be better if they had a detailed tech specs description. It is possible to choose the servers location: Ukraine, Russia, Netherlands, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg or USA.
Trial period
The company offers a 14-day trial period for all Shared hosting packages.
Billing cycle
Shared hosting packages have monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual and biennial cycles. VPS and Bulletproof Dedicated servers as well as Dedicated servers located in Ukraine, Estonia, Luxembourg, Netherlands and USA have monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual billing cycles. Dedicated servers located in Russia and Lithuania can be purchased only for one month.
Control panel
ISPmanager is included to each Shared hosting package. Vesta or ISPmanager can be installed on VPS servers for free. As for Dedicated servers, it’s possible to use ISPmanager on them at no additional cost.
Limits
Shared hosting packages have limited disk space, however, all other features such as number of domains, email accounts and FTP-users are unlimited. Server resources are restricted. For example, RAM volume limit varies from 460 Mb to 2Gb depending on the package. You can find this information in the detailed description of the the plans. VPS and Dedicated servers have their usual disk space, number of CPU cores and RAM limits. Also, the company provides 100Mbps port with unlimited bandwidth for these plans.
Security
For Shared hosting packages the company provides anti-DDoS protection, application firewall, anti-spam tool (SpamAssassin) and a few antiviruses: ClamAV, Virusdie and Madlet. As for VPS and Dedicated servers, server security is under your own responsibility. The company only offers paid anti-DDoS protection that is quite expensive (starting from $75/mo).
OS
Shared hosting servers run on CloudLinux. Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu can be installed on Linux VPS; Windows Server 2008/2012, Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD - on Windows VPS. As for Dedicated server, it’s possible to install Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 or any other OS, if you have the image of it.
Support
ProHoster provides ticket, chat and email support. They work every day from 9am till 7pm Ukrainian time. The representatives are quick and helpful but not proactive. Also, it is possible to purchase additional technical support for VPS and Dedicated servers at $10/hr. The representatives are able to help with all kinds of queries regarding server management and maintenance. The knowledge base is not big, covers only basic topics.
Conclusion
The company provides a variety of Shared and VPS hosting packages. Shared servers are extremely secure. VPS servers quality-price ratio is excellent. Moreover, ProHoster has a very qualified support team. On the other hand, Dedicated servers are rather outdated. Also, servers security is under your responsibility for both VPS and Dedicated servers. Due to this, Shared hosting is suitable for both beginners and proficient users. However, we would recommend VPS and Dedicated servers mostly to professionals as server management requires some knowledge and experience.

We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.
CMS is a content management system. A lot of hosting providers offer so-called CMS optimized packages. However, this is a marketing trick because most CMSs do not have special software or hosting requirements.
Trial period is a period of time, usually from 7 to 30 days, during which you can use the hosting services for free to test them.
Moneyback policy allows the customer to receive a refund for his order within a certain period after the purchase.
OS means the operating system is installed on the server. We recommend to choose Linux hosting unless your website requires another OS.
Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
Most websites require MySQL and PHP installed on the server to work correctly. Almost all hosting providers support these technologies.
ASP.NET is a Microsoft web application development platform.
The more comfortable the control panel is, the easier will it be for you to change the website and hosting account settings.
Most hosting providers that are in TOP20 in our rating offer user-friendly control panels, such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. That’s why we recommend to pay attention to other, more important parameters, while choosing a hosting provider.
