I want to know whether anyone has or has ever had a WordPress site on host koala servers? because I require hosting for a tiny project.
 
It's my primary (and only) hosting account, but I'm just getting started with it. I've had it for 9 months and haven't done anything with it until now, when I'm building my first website and hosting it with HK.

I did, however, contact their customer service several times, and they always responded quickly and well.

But, for $5 a year, you can bite the bullet and see if it works for you; it's not a huge loss if things go wrong:)

Thanks for the info. I was considering upgrading to some better plans later on.
 
I host six websites on hostkoala, and you are getting a good service for the price you are paying. (I'm using the $10 packages with lscashe and litespeed; there are also 20% discount codes available on the web.)
Website speeds are always 90+ with WPRocket + Perfmatters.
If you're buying it for a new website and don't need 99-100 speed on every test, they can be a great choice.

Of course, you can upgrade. But why not reach out to them directly to find out more? It’s also a good way to test their customer service!"
 
Yes, my first love is Hostkoala. :D

Excellent service and user-friendly support! They certainly had the patience to answer my illogical questions back then!
 
I got a year of hosting for $3.5. LOL......hosting is great, but only upgrade to a higher package if your traffic really increases by the thousands every day. The ticket responds quickly to my questions. Overall, I enjoy it.
 
Hostkoala is an authorized reseller of hostmantis, buyvm/buyshared, shock hosting, myw, and other low-cost providers.
so you can give them a shot. However, do not use hostmantis as the node because performance has suffered since the company was sold to dynamichosting.
Hostkoala offers small packages such as 1GB, 5GB, and so on. You can use it for small projects, but as your site grows, the amount you pay will skyrocket. So, if you need 25GB or 50GB of storage space for your WordPress site, databases, images, and so on, get some more decent providers or directly from the above names.
 
I got it for seven dollars for three years after someone here shared a coupon.
I haven't used it in a year, but I intend to use it this year.
This is what gtmetrix gives me for a new WordPress installation; I can't complain.

You can get 50% off by using the coupon code 'NEWYEAR2023,' which expires on January 14, 2023. Please note that the coupon is only valid for the first payment, and services will renew at full price. However, you can purchase the service for up to 3 years

I plan to use it as well, but I’m trying to decide whether to choose cPanel or Admin Direct.

They have very affordable plans for Direct Admin, but what about backups? Are they provided monthly or not at all?

Regardless of whether the hosting is cheap or expensive, it's important to manage your own backups. They offer backup software for manual backups in their panels, but it's also a good idea to back up your site elsewhere. I typically use their $5 per year DirectAdmin hosting

Is DirectAdmin beginner-friendly? I’ve searched on YouTube and noticed there aren’t many tips or Q&A videos available.

Yes, it's quite user-friendly, similar to cPanel. I use the Hybrid admin theme with dark mode enabled, and I have no complaints. You can adjust these settings in your panel preferences. 😊

Thanks, I really appreciate your assistance!

Some of the themes are subpar. Personally, I also use the Hybrid theme. Dark mode is essential—anyone who says otherwise clearly isn't human.

No, we’re not fans of those who use the white themes—just a bit odd! 😊
