Our verdict on HostMedia
HostMedia provides paid reseller hosting for freelancers, agencies, and hosting businesses managing multiple client websites. Its plans are available through cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin, with white-label hosting, custom nameservers, SSD storage, hosted website allowances, and unmetered or unlimited bandwidth. The service operates from the UK and offers web-based access, while key features include free SSL certificates, daily and snapshot backups, free website migration, Softaculous, and DDoS protection.
Pricing is structured across eight monthly plans. DirectAdmin packages start with Starter Reseller at £2.99 per month for 25 GB SSD storage and 15 DirectAdmin accounts, then scale through Growth Reseller at £7.99, Business Reseller at £14.99, Pro Reseller at £24.99, and Elite Reseller at £39.99. These plans provide 80 GB, 150 GB, 300 GB, and 500 GB SSD storage respectively, with unlimited DirectAdmin accounts from Growth upward. cPanel options begin with Flexi Reseller at £4.95 per month for 10 GB and five cPanel accounts, followed by Enhanced Reseller at £14.95 and High Reseller at £29.95. Enhanced and High include CrossBox and Blesta, while Flexi has usage-based overage pricing.
The main advantage is operational choice: resellers can select DirectAdmin or cPanel, manage client accounts, apply their own branding, and connect billing or management tools. Integrations include WHMCS, Blesta, CrossBox, and Softaculous; WHMCS is compatible with cPanel/WHM accounts, while Blesta is explicitly listed with the cPanel plans. HostMedia suits agencies and hosting businesses that need multiple client accounts, white-label presentation, migration support, and scalable storage. Buyers seeking a free plan, included WHMCS, or Joomla-specific capabilities should compare alternatives that center those requirements.
