Hostao: NVMe hosting, domains and reseller infrastructure

Hostao is a web hosting provider that bundles shared hosting, domain registration, reseller accounts, VPS and dedicated servers with a set of adjacent services aimed at small businesses, agencies and founders. The company presents its stack around NVMe SSD storage, cPanel and Softaculous, with SSL setup and support handled through WhatsApp and support tickets. Its published entry price for shared hosting is $4.50 per month.

The site frames the buying process as a four-step sequence: search for a domain and add it to the cart, choose a hosting plan, set up the cPanel account with WordPress and an SSL certificate, and then publish the site with assistance through WhatsApp and tickets.

Shared hosting plans and included resources

Hostao lists three shared hosting tiers, each described with disk space, monthly bandwidth, email accounts, subdomains and the number of domains allowed:

• Basic — $4.50 per month, aimed at small teams and startups: 1 GB SSD disk space, 100 GB monthly bandwidth, 10 email accounts, 5 subdomains and 1 domain.
• Professional — $6.00 per month, positioned for growing teams and businesses: 5 GB SSD disk space, 150 GB monthly bandwidth, 50 email accounts, 10 subdomains and 5 domains.
• Business — $8.00 per month, for larger business websites: 10 GB SSD disk space, 200 GB monthly bandwidth, 100 email accounts, 20 subdomains and 10 domains.

All three tiers list the Softaculous one-click installer, uptime-focused hosting, SSL certificate options and NVMe SSD hosting, which the company describes as twice as fast.

Reseller hosting, WHMCS and Singapore servers

Beyond shared plans, Hostao organises several hosting paths for agencies, freelancers and hosting startups. These include low-cost cPanel reseller hosting with WHM and cPanel, master reseller account structures for selling shared hosting under the customer's own brand, and free WHMCS licence options on selected reseller plans for billing and client management.

For regional workloads, the company advertises dedicated servers in Singapore aimed at Asia-focused traffic that needs closer routing and dedicated resources. It also promotes a reseller discount of 50% on a configuration with 2 GB RAM, one CPU core, 20 GB NVMe SSD, one dedicated IP, 1 TB bandwidth, a 1 Gbps uplink and a Linux operating system at $7 per month, available exclusively to Hostao reseller account holders.

Domains, email and website design

Hostao offers domain registration and search across extensions including .com, .in, .bh, .ae, .shop, .org, .online and .net, and promotes limited-time domain offers. The company also sells a website design package called Hostao Design at a one-time payment of $300, which includes basic web hosting, a free .com domain, a six-page dynamic website, content creation, image and video gallery, admin dashboard, mobile-responsive design, social media and location map integration, page SEO optimisation and technical support.

Around the core hosting product, the company groups a set of third-party-style tools under what it calls the Hostao Growth System: BestEmail for professional mailboxes on the business domain, Cokiq for cookie consent and privacy, AutoChat for WhatsApp enquiries and follow-up, RatingE for review collection, AutoMasteri for digital growth planning and Suhep for a support desk. The site presents these as complementary pieces for launching, converting enquiries and retaining customers.

Infrastructure, migration and security

Hostao states that its servers are optimised for speed and that its hosting stack, NVMe storage and caching-friendly setup help improve loading times for business websites. It advertises multiple data centre locations so customers can pick a region close to their audience, and mentions 15+ global data centres.

On security, the company refers to account isolation, SSL options, firewall controls and malware-related tooling on supported hosting setups. It also offers a migration service in which it reviews an existing website and guides the move of hosting, files, databases or email services. The site lists a 30-day refund policy and describes support as available around the clock.
