🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration

A web hosting provider of Canadian origin, Hawk Host has been around since 2004. They claim that the purpose of the company is to offer highly efficient services by using their software development and web hosting skills.

Hawk Host is a web platform providing the following hosting solutions:

Semi-Dedicated servers are SSD powered, also including free Memcached Server, free migration and free Unlimited SSL certificates.

VPS servers permit full root access and come with great disk space, bandwidth, CPU and RAM allotment. All VPS plans include free migration and a complete customizing possibility according to the customers’ needs.

Cloud servers have the same set of unlimited and free features available for shared hosting plans.

💰 Price & Cost

Their prices are really affordable and their pricing system seems to be pretty competitive in the case of Virtual Private Servers, for instance. Shared hosting plans are reasonable and not too expensive, but their prices are not the best on the market. Semi-Dedicated servers and Reseller plans are also accessible for the public in terms of prices.

🎯 Conclusion

Hawk Host is a good hosting company that comes with a variety of hosting products and hosting plans. Probably a single inconvenience with their platform is that they do not offer the possibility of registering for a dedicated server as they do not provide dedicated servers. A particular problem with Hawk Host is that bad reviews for their administration could decline their popularity.
