HostXNow review
A cPanel host with strong core features, clear resource tiers, and annual billing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HostXNow provides shared web hosting for personal websites, blogs, small businesses, and other sites. It combines the cPanel control panel with NVMe SSD storage, LiteSpeed with LSCache, CloudLinux and CageFS account isolation, free SSL certificates, daily off-site backups, WordPress Toolkit, unlimited email accounts, and free website migration. The service is web-based and includes 24/7 support, with WordPress, WooCommerce, Softaculous, and MailChannels among its listed integrations.
The three plans scale by domains, storage, and processing capacity. Lite costs £3.39 per month when billed annually and includes 2 domains, 15 GB NVMe SSD storage, 1 vCPU, and 2 GB DDR5 ECC RAM. Plus costs £6.79 per month on annual billing, increasing the allowance to 5 domains and 30 GB storage while retaining 1 vCPU and 2 GB DDR5 ECC RAM. Premium costs £10.19 per month on annual billing and provides 20 domains, 45 GB storage, 2 vCPU, and 2 GB DDR5 ECC RAM. A 14-day trial is available.
For WordPress-oriented sites, the combination of WordPress Toolkit, Softaculous, LiteSpeed with LSCache, and free migration supports a conventional cPanel workflow. WooCommerce is listed for store use, while MailChannels complements the included email hosting. The main choice is between the plans’ resource ceilings: Lite suits smaller sites, Plus adds domain and storage capacity, and Premium is the better fit for multiple sites needing more processing. Users who want cPanel, backups, migration help, and support should find the feature set focused; those needing hosting beyond a web-based shared environment should consider another type of service.
