Why this exists.

Small businesses, freelancers, and bloggers need cheap, reliable hosting plus domains without the complexity of enterprise platforms. The bottom of the market is full of providers that bait with $3 entry pricing and triple it at renewal, separate hosting from domains, and run terrible support. A bundled, transparent, ICANN-accredited operator captures that gap.

  • § 01

    Bait-and-switch renewal pricing

    Most cheap hosts advertise $3 to $5 entry tiers and quietly triple the renewal price. Customers churn at year two; the provider acquires endlessly to replace them.

  • § 02

    Hosting and domains sold separately

    A first-time site owner has to learn two vendors, two billing accounts, two control panels, and two support queues just to publish a website.

  • § 03

    Shared hosting comes with noisy neighbours

    Without account isolation, one compromised account on a shared box can degrade or take down the rest. Most low-cost hosts skip the isolation work.

  • § 04

    24/7 support is rare at the entry tier

    Cheap hosts ship a chatbot and call it support. Real human support across email, live chat, and phone at the $3 to $30 price point is the differentiator.

Working software, not slides.

Each item below is in the codebase today. The full architecture and code walkthrough is available under NDA.

  • Five shared hosting tiers from $3.99/mo Startup through $29.99/mo Platinum (VPS-equivalent with NodeJS, Python, PHP).
  • ICANN-accredited domain registrar covering .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz and other major TLDs.
  • cPanel control panel + Softaculous one-click installer (400+ apps including WordPress).
  • Free SSL on every plan (Let's Encrypt or equivalent).
  • Free email accounts (unlimited on higher tiers) and forwards.
  • One-click backup and restore on every plan.
  • Free site migration on Business tier and above.
  • 24/7/365 human support across email, live chat, and phone.
  • 99.9% uptime SLA backed by server-level vulnerability protection and account isolation.
  • WordPress optimisation across the stack.
  • Developer tools: SSH access, Git version control, FTP, MySQL, NodeJS, Python, PHP runtimes.
  • Free virus scanner and account-isolation security model.
