Maybe because the internet market in Indonesia continues to grow every day, many web hosting providers also spread their wings to the archipelago. One who just took the floor is Hosting24.com . They can now be accessed at the address https://id.hosting24.com .
For some people, maybe not familiar with this brand. But Hosting24 is not a new player. Still at home with Hostinger International, Hosting24 was born even earlier before other services appeared. Since 2008 this web hosting has been on the air and only in April 2018 has entered Indonesia.
Considering its quite mature age, this service certainly has an advantage because it is still able to survive. One indicator to see how quality web hosting services are, see the track record and its age. Because of course they are not abandoned by users.
Before talking further about Hosting24, a little picture that this service gets a 8.3 rating by its users, as quoted from Hostadvice. Frankly, I haven't used their service yet, but with a little experiment there are some interesting things to write about.
1. All Packages Use cPanel Hosting
Compared to one group service, Hosting24 chooses a different path. No wonder there are premium words as sales. Because they add packages directly with cPanel. For those who are already familiar with using Hostinger services, you must be familiar with the term hPanel.
hPanel is a special tool provided as a replacement control panel for cPanel. To be honest, it is hPanel that makes Hostinger and his group's services cheaper than others. But specifically Hosting24, they have provided this package directly.
For those who are already familiar with the world of web hosting, it is certain to know cPanel. This service is the most widely used control panel for webmasters. The ease of making automatic transfers if you want to move hosting in the future is one of the advantages.
If I have to be forced to choose, of course I will look for cheap web hosting services with a direct cPanel package. Maybe because it's already used to using it. Even so, HPPanel is not always difficult, it just needs special accuracy.
2. Implement Cloud SMTP Delivery Technology
If you intend to build a professional website, of course small things like personal email are also considered. Not that free services like Gmail, Hotmail and others are less professional, but in the business world it is more elegant when using personal email.
If you use Hosting24 service, this email package can be configured using Cloud SMTP delivery. This technology allows personal email not to be included in the blacklist which instead accumulates in spam. This is important because not a few personal emails end up that way.
Cloud SMTP delivery technology already exists in every package purchased. Although not all packages have unlimited access to create email. In a single web hosting package for example, users only have one slot to create a personal email.
If anyone doesn't really understand what personal email is, for example like wisa@blogooblok.com . If the email is free, like gmail then the format will be wisa@gmail.com , if it is available it usually uses the numbers behind it. If I choose to use email with my own domain name. More cool.
3. All Packages Include SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for now seems to be a mandatory item for every website. The number of ignorant hands on the internet makes security more important. SSL is a continuation of the previous cryptographic protocol which ensures safer communication.
Although free, but there are still conditions if you want to use this on Hosting24. Must buy one of the packages with a minimum payment of a year. But this is not a big issue, because the average person will buy a package a year to get a cheaper price.
Maybe someone asks, what is SSL actually for if all websites without SSL can also be accessed. In addition to security, this SSL certificate also helps launch Search engine optimization (SEO). Especially if the website that we develop will also compete in search engines.
4. Secure Server Guarantee
Frankly, because I have not tried the Hosting24 service, so this review is likely based on their promos. On their website, they write they have the safest and most reliable server. Every website created with their services is given advanced firewall protection to custom security software.
To talk about the Hosting24 server, I quote a review from hosting.review that has been following the development of Hosting24 for some time. In one review they stated there was an increase in speed on the Hosting24 server.
In trials conducted, the Hosting24 server reached a speed of 230 ms. This is a promising and better number. There is a special note by Paul Mahony when writing their review on April 15, 2018, that Hosing24 finally corrected their biggest weakness so far. Namely in speed and it's already been denied.
For the Indonesian market, Hosting24 does not yet have a server in Indonesia but can use the closest location in Singapore. Choosing a location placement will be advantageous if the website market that we are targeting is in the country.
So far I consider their promises and promotions to be quite promising, especially since they have been reviewed by independent parties. Great!
5. 24 hour assistance according to its name
I wonder what reason they gave the name Hosting24 for the brand. But most likely due to the alacrity of assistance services, for 24 hours. It makes sense for hosting size. Because not all can be responsive to provide assistance for technical matters.
I have tried myself how their alertness to responding to help. I do not use chat, but go straight to filling out forms and they reply in less than three minutes. It's just that, maybe because there are not many Customer Success resources in Indonesia so they still use English.
Even so, it's no longer difficult to communicate with language differences. If you are not fluent in foreign languages we can use Google Translate. The point is I feel the spirit of professionalism and dedication in their assistance services.
Technical questions will be answered well. Even if you have difficulty buying their kites.
6. Many Discounts Even Have Free Services
Although selling premium packages in the middle class, Hosting24 services and discounts are worth considering. Of the three packages they have, on average, they include a lot of discounts. Even for premium web hosting packages they give discounts of up to 61%.
I compared the same package in their group, with the additional advantages I mentioned above, Hosting24 is still cheaper than the others. There are indeed additional services if you want to have additional security, but that can be removed.
In addition to being sprinkled with discounts on each package, they also include free hosting services. As an International Hostinger group, it's not uncommon for this to exist. This service was and was the beginning of its establishment was free hosting.
For those who are interested, can visit the following page . All you have to do is register and will be directed to 000webhost . com. For those who want to try to use web hosting but do not have the ability to fund, there is no harm in taking this path.
7. Another tantalizing product
This may be almost the same as most web hosting providers. In addition to shared hosting that is sold, of course there are domain-specific services, although in every package you will get a free domain. Similarly, website builder. Hosting24 also provides these packages and is free.
In addition to share hosting, superior Hosting24 also packs VPS Hosting. If in shared hosting there are only three packages, in VPS they have eight choices. Prices offered with the best VPS quality starting from Rp120,481 per month to Rp481,642 per month.
They use Linux VPS hosting which all resources are in the user's hands. Similarly, additional full backup services every week. So that the fear of losing files can be minimized. For those who are accustomed to using VPS, you know what are the advantages compared to share hosting.
Hosting24 also opens hosting reseller services that are supported by WHM and cPanel. There are two reseller packages that they offer with a 28% discount. For those who are good at hosting business, their package can be an option because it is affordable and has several advantages.
Overall, if I am given the choice I will use Hosting24 service. Aside from the fact that many parties have used it abroad, they are also companies that have saved their time and market. One indicator to make choices for them.
However, there are two weaknesses that I think should be fixed immediately by Hosting24. This weakness is especially because I speak on the basis of the Indonesian market.
- They have not used the rupiah currency for transactions. Plus, the payment system doesn't support bank transfer. So when buying their package we have to convert currency from rupiah to dollar. Likewise, when making a payment, you must use a credit card or Paypal, although there is also a choice of Bitcoin and several other services. For me this is a little bit inhibiting, even though their packages are affordable with premium services. But it will experience difficulties during the transaction. I think for the Indonesian market, similar anxiety is experienced by many parties. Mainly if Hosting24 wants to target the middle market.
- Not available .id domain. This is important to consider in the middle of the growing popularity of this domain in Indonesia. If they are serious about working on the Indonesian market, they should also open registration for the .id domain. Even so the price of their domain is at least quite affordable. The two things that I made notes are not big cases. But it is also important to pay special attention to the Indonesian market. But I am happy because Hosting24 service has tested the dynamic and growing Indonesian market. Hopefully the more competitive web hosting competition going forward so that users have many choices.
