WebHostFace is among the most recent hosting
providers on the internet having being
established in 2013. This US-based company started with a single server in the USA when it was launched. A few years down the line, it’s
amassed a lot of popularity among webmasters who find its services to be
efficient and cost effective. The company mainly focuses on shared hosting
although you’ll also find other services here as well.
Over the years, WebHostFace has set up two
new data centers in the Netherlands and Singapore to cater to the growing
clientele base. The UK is also another significant
venue for this company since the customer support center is based within this area.
Before starting this company, WebHostFace’s founder, Mr. Valentine Sharnalov, was a student
at one of the prestigious academies that focuses on shaping young individuals
on how to meet the growing needs of the hosting industry. While most people
learn how to create the best product and how to achieve the best results,
Sharnalov chose to look at the major shortcomings of SiteGroud, the
organization responsible for teaching him most if not all of the things he
knows about hosting. Serving customers who came with various complaints
concerning the failure of the system enabled him to come up with ideas on how
to solve these issues. This is how WHF came
into being.
At first,
the company started as a hosting provider for PC and Mac devices.
Several years down the line, it became evident that the mobile browsing
platform required to be represented as well, seeing that many smartphone users
utilize the devices to visit several websites. This
led to a partnership with SiteApp to provide leverage
for mobile users.
One thing worth noting is that all plans by
WFH are Linux-based. Users can still get
a hold of various services that are offered by this software including shared
hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting,
and dedicated servers. On top of this,
the company also provides collocation
services and network support.
Below is a detailed description of the
packages offered by WFH.
There are three
plans to choose from in this plans category. These are
Face Standard, Face Extra, and Face Ultima. What differentiates them is the
amount of data transfer facilities, SSD
storage, number of websites hosted on each,
and website transfer options. Software encryption is part of the deal for each.
WebHostFace offers a lucrative discount to
new members who choose the shared hosting plan. Get discounts of up to 90% of
the regular price upon signup. However, once your initial subscription is over,
the regular rates will take effect.
Take a look at the deductions made from the
table above in regards to shared hosting and its benefits:
The prices are competitive, and they are some of the cheapest available in
the market. A discounted rate is available to new users of the premiums.
However, the price goes up at the end of the first subscription.
The basic plan avails 15 GB of disk space,
unlimited data transfer options, and customer support. The number of websites
that can be hosted is limited to one.
Also, SSH support and premium support are not
offered in this option.
Face Extra has more leverage in regards to
the number of websites that can be hosted by your account. Additionally, the
storage space is more than that of the basic plan by 5 GB.
When it comes to Face Ultima, the variables
are even better. For example, for just $19.90 per month, you receive disk space
worth 30GB. The seemingly high cost is further justified by the fact that this
package comes with an unlimited website hosting and premium support. Even more,
the premium comes with extra specs like add-on domains and RV site builders. To
top this up, you can transfer up to five websites as compared to the other
premiums that avail three and zero options.
Who
Should Buy Shared Hosting Plan by WHF?
Considering that this option does not
provide enough disk space to accommodate an entity with massive data storage
needs, it is best to conclude that bloggers and
other light users are best suited to use it. Also, it is worth noting
that this hosting plan is payable on a monthly basis on top of other payment
options. As such, it offers you the chance to test the waters for a month
before you can decide to settle on it permanently.
Aside from the shared hosting, VPS hosting
is another plan offered by this company. With it, expect more features compared
to shared hosting plans. In the same measure, the price for VPS plans is also
much higher.
There are four categories of VPS hosting
options offered by WebHostFace. We take a close look at them below:
-
VPS 1
This is the package with the least benefits
in VPS hosting by WHF. For starters, the storage capacity is limited to 20 GB, and the RAM storage is 1 GB. Users are allowed to transfer up to
1TB of data during their subscription period. Anything more than that would
require a renewal of the premium subscription or an upgrade to a hosting option
that provides more space. A free domain and private SSL encryption come as part
of the deal. All this is offered to the user at
a price of $9.95 per month.
-
VPS 2
Coming in at second position is the Face VPS
2, whose storage capacity surpasses that
of VPS 1 by 20 GB. With such a capacity,
medium users can reap a massive gain from this option. The RAM, data transfer,
and PCU core stand at 2 GB, 2 TB, and 2
respectively. As expected, the cost of
getting this plan is slightly higher. Users have to part with $19.95 per month
to benefit from it.
-
VPS 3
Next in line is the VPS 3 hosting plan, an
option that allows the user to store data of up to 80 GB. The internal storage
for this availability is 4 GB. Users can transfer up to 3 TB worth of data if they choose VPS 3. For the price of $39.95 per month, an
interested individual can own this domain.
-
VPS 4
The highest tire in this cluster is the VPS
4 hosting option that costs $79.95 per month to obtain. The user who opts for
this plan will gain 120 GB of storage disk space, 8 GB of internal memory, and
4 TB worth of data transfer. All other variables are standard in each of the
plans available.
These VPS hosting options are deemed ideal
for users with light to medium traffic on their sites.
If you are out to make money from providing
hosting services, this is the package for you. The first step to acquiring it
is by joining the WHF reseller program. Consequently, you’ll gain access to the
following privileges:
-
Hosting packages at very low prices
Usually, reseller hosting is sold at far
lower prices compared to individual packages that are sold directly by the web
host to the end user as the buyers receive
a significant discount. This allows the
resellers to have reasonable leverage to
manipulate when it comes to pricing the plans once
they are ready to start selling them. Also, the package comes with unlimited access to free domain names.
-
Web Host Manager Access
This option allows the reseller to control
several activities inside the accounts
that they sell to the market. These include activating, suspending, and
removing restrictions set on accounts, availing additional SSL security
options, and monitoring the traffic within each domain.
-
Linux-Based Infrastructure
This software comes already installed with kernel, PHP, and Apache in their most recent versions for free.
-
Several Server Locations
As mentioned earlier, WHF had four server
locations based in the US, Europe, and Asia. This
allows members from various parts of the
globe to access fast and reliable services from wherever they are without
paying additional fees other than the ones stated at the time of purchasing the
domain.
-
Customer Support
With so many changes taking place in the
world of technology, it becomes essential to change a few things here and there
to adapt to this fast-evolving realm. For
this reason, WHF offers a customer support team that is available round the clock to ensure that any new changes
are made, especially those that affect the reseller’s delivery of services, are
communicated to them with immediate effect. Also, the team is responsible for
answering any other questions, as well as providing solutions that are related
to WHF hosting provision.
The reseller plan is segregated into three categories as follows:
-
Reseller standard
-
Reseller extra
-
Reseller ultima
For $15.96, $23.96, and $31.96 per month,
you can obtain one of these plans. It is also worth noting that these plans
come with a first-time user discount of
20%. The disk space varies depending on the kind of package. The limits for space are set at 40 GB, 80 GB, and 120 GB
respectively.
The monthly bandwidth is also quite expansive, considering that the least is set at 400 GB. The bandwidth for the other
two plans is set at 800 GB and 1200 GB respectively. Each plan comes with a
free domain, but those who intend to get
additional ones have to part with some funds to facilitate this. The good thing
is that the price is discounted.
Marketing tools, Cloudflare, free site building, and private DNS are some of the
additional benefits of these packs.
Dedicated servers happen to be the most independent plans offered by this web hosting
company. These plans offer the user
unlimited freedom and security through the provision of private servers and
control of one’s dedicated machine. There are four variables to choose from. Depending on your needs, you can opt for
the Entry, Enhanced, Premium, or Enterprise packs.
Each of these plans comes with a free IP and
a bandwidth of 20 TB, but other variables differ in size. With each, you also
get access to vast amount of RAM -
anything between 16 and 64 GB. The first three plans have a data storage
facility of 240 GB while the enterprise option covers up double this number.
Dedicated packages cost much more than
reseller, VPS, and shared hosting plans since they come with more benefits,
especially in terms of privacy and
security. However, WHF avails a sign-up discount of up to 10% on each of the
dedicated server packages. It is necessary to note that this discount offer is
not available during the renewal. The discounted price for the entry dedicated
server is $129 per month, but after the discount, the price goes down to
$116.10 per month. Once the initial subscription is depleted, you’ll need to pay the full amount for them to keep
enjoying WHF dedicated server services.
In addition to the mentioned features,
several other perks characterize this plan. For example, each user has full
control of their server which means they are able to configure it in a way that
is convenient to them. They can also opt to use the software that comes with
the plan, or find something else that works best for them. Additionally, the
setup and the overall interface that these plans come with are easy to use.
Of course,
it goes without saying that the users can
choose their preferred center where all their data
is to be stored. They also get access to
24/7 customer support. In addition, they get hardware support regardless of the
operating system they opt for.

Performance and speed are some of the
features that determine whether an individual will choose a particular plan or
they’ll think otherwise. With WHF, you get to utilize speeds of up to 99.9%. To
ensure that they provide the best services, WHF gives you a credit refund
option, which can be used in the future
for billing purposes.
For you to qualify for this credit billing
system, the company will have to verify
that there was an error in the page
response for more than sixty seconds
consecutively, or the page was unresponsive. Users should take note that they
are not eligible for a refund if the site
was marked unresponsive during a maintenance period. Also, it is unfortunate to
note that this refund is only available to users with the shared hosting plans.
Other plans do not enjoy this guarantee.
WebHostFace also provides customer support
all round the clock. This makes it easy
for the team to take care of the situation in a short time, thus taking charge
of the case before any damages are done. The team
members are also responsible for
alerting the customers of any upgrade or maintenance plans that are underway,
way before they begin to avoid any inconveniences.
One more step that the company takes to
enhance the speed of the site is the provision of CDN. The software is
responsible for dispatching data to the site visitors with the help of the
nearest server. Activating this software requires you to log into the control
panel, go to the domains menu, and do the activation manually.
WHF offers a variety of security measures to
ensure the safety of the user is at its best. These include data backup, SSL
encryption certificates, and manual or automatic cover-ups for security faults.
Here is a closer look at these provisions.
-
SSL Certificates
SSL certificates are essential for
encrypting a site end to end which helps to ensure that the data transferred
within a particular page is secured from
unwanted scrutiny. This security measure comes as a bonus to a user who
subscribes to WHF services. At the end of the subscription, the site protection
also expires, but once the user renews their plan, the SSL certificate is
automatically renewed as well.
-
Backups
Once in a while, a mishap can happen, one
that may lead to massive loss of data
from your site. WHF offers a free backup plan for the shared hosting plan. This is done
on a daily basis with the help of R1 Soft.
The backup is effective on all files and databases within the domain. The process
of restoring information is instant, and the user can opt to do a full restore
or a partial one. However, when it comes to VPS, dedicated server, and reseller
hosting plans, the order of things is quite
different. There is no synchronized
backup of any data by the software. While the company doesn’t offer any
additional information about the availability of data backup for the latter
plans, it is assumed that you have to pay
an extra fee for you to receive these services.
-
Data Center Security
All the four centers operated by WebHostFace
are manned by security personnel around
the clock. Additionally, the admins are also on site 24/7. These individuals
provide redundant network infrastructure which is essential for instances when
the system fails, and there is a need for a reboot.
-
System Patches
Measures such as system patches come in
handy in case the system fails, or a few
flaws are noted in the data center.
Depending on the magnitude of the problem, the patch can either be done
automatically by the system or the team
can take you through the manual repair step by step.
-
Cloudflare
While this software is primarily responsible
for increasing the speed and performance of the site, it also plays another
critical role that entails reduction and possible elimination of DDOS attacks.
These attacks are sent in plenty, and may cause your site to have an overflow
of data requests. As a result, your site may slow it down or become
inaccessible altogether.
Luckily, Cloudflare ensures that these
malicious requests are detected right before they can cause any havoc to your
website. The software then denies these attacks any access to your site, which
in turn enhances its performance.
All the web hosting packages by WebHostFace come with a cPanel. This software allows
you to perform most tasks with ease. Some of the most notable tasks you can
complete on cPanel include logging in to your account and changing of passwords
and usernames without compromising the security of sensitive information
especially that of your billing system.
WHF secures its cPanel platform using
2048-bit RSA, an availability that keeps your transactions hidden from the
public domain.
The cPanel security has two layers, which
work hand in hand to provide tight security. An outer layer firewall ensures
that there are no breaches made to the system. The firewall receives back up
from regular updates and security patches to strengthen the security level.
When it comes to installing the software convenience is undeniable now that the
process is initiated by a single click.
You can install over 300 applications from
the cPanel.
Contacting WHF is made easy by the
availability of various communication channels that this host avails its
customers. Customers can reach the support team via phone, 24/7 live chat
support, social media, email, and ticketing. With so many channels, it becomes
an easy task to deal with any inquiries. While the first four options are
useful in solving general problems, ticketing comes in handy when you need to
take care of specific issues, especially those that require the intervention of
an expert.
WHF offers a money back guarantee on just
one of its products; the shared hosting plan. The company dictates that if the
client will not have been satisfied with the services they receive after thirty
days, they are free to terminate the contract and they will receive a full
refund.
This, however, is not inclusive of cash that
is paid to cater for services like registration or deactivation of your domain
once you opt out of the service. On the other hand, exceeding this said period
will have the guarantee annulled, which means you’ll not receive any cash
refund. In regards to penalties, the user will not be penalized for cancelling
the subscription before the thirty days are up since there is no agreement on
this.
Site
Builder
The shared hosting package comes with a free
RV site builder. This tool enables you to create a good looking site, an aspect
that is essential in this era where competition is high.
Easy
Domain Name System Management
Considering that you may have to handle over
one domain at a go, WHF offers easy DNS management to its clients regardless of
the number of DNS servers that they have control of.
Automatic
Renewal of a Domain
In case you opt of the shared hosting
service, your domain remains dormant. However, if you decide to pick it up in
the future, the domain will be activated automatically by the system the minute
you make the payment but this depends on whether it’s still available.
Free
Setup for Already Registered Domains
Regardless of whether you have registered
your domain with another registrar or not, WHF will setup your domain at zero
cost.
Free
Transfer of Domains in all the Shared Hosting Plans
If you have an intention of moving from your
current server to another one, WHF facilitate this move at no extra charge;
this however applies to shared plans only.
Others
As far as security is concerned, WHF strives
to avail reliable options which will secure the data of each of their clients.
SSL certificates and the use of firewalls is how the company achieves its
target. Best of all, these are given to the user free of charge and they are
available in all the plans offered by WebHostFace.
