Hostever review
A low-cost host with broad Linux and Windows stack support, but no backup coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Hostever is a shared web hosting service operated by Code For Host, designed for beginner websites, portfolios, blogs, small projects and Windows applications. Its Linux hosting supports PHP, MySQL and Perl, while Windows hosting uses IIS and Plesk with ASP.NET, .NET Core, MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server support. That combination makes Hostever relevant for users who need a choice between common Linux workloads and Microsoft-oriented application stacks rather than a single hosting environment.
The published Budget 5GB plan costs $1.60 per month with monthly billing. It includes 5GB SSD storage, 100GB monthly bandwidth, one usable domain, 50 email accounts, a lifetime free SSL certificate and Softaculous one-click installation. The plan is paid only, with no free plan. Its WordPress optimization, LiteSpeed integration and one-click installer support straightforward website launches, while 24/7 customer support is available for ongoing account assistance. The plan is compact, so it is better suited to one small website than to a larger multi-site setup.
Hostever’s main distinction is breadth across hosting platforms and application technologies. Linux plans offer SSD or NVMe storage, and Windows plans extend compatibility to ASP.NET, .NET Core and Microsoft SQL Server. WordPress and Softaculous also fit common website workflows. The trade-off is operational coverage: the plan does not include a backup frequency, and migration documentation applies to cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin transfers rather than the Webuzo budget plan. Choose Hostever for low-cost hosting with Linux and Windows flexibility; users prioritizing backup coverage or a documented migration path should consider another provider.
