Hostarmada stay away

Hostarmada is a web hosting and VPS company that, while promising 45-day money-back guarantees, will not refund your money if you have chosen a one-month hosting package. This is stated in the ToS, while the 45-day money-back guarantee is on the company's front pages.

These are the well-known dark patterns used by most hosting companies (and not only). See the initial prices that are low, but the renewal prices increase significantly after the first term.

What does the company want to tell us?

Trust us! Pay for annual packages or 2 or 3 year packages without knowing what you are buying.

If you want a hosting company, look for one that makes a difference. One that doesn't use dark patterns to fool the customer. A company that doesn't need them because it does its job well and has nothing to hide.

Why we decided to leave the package 

This particular package (WP Speed ​​Reaper) promises

Websites Unlimited
Bandwidth (Traffic) Acceptable usage
Estimated Visitors per month ~120 000

In the fine print, the company mentions Acceptable usage

wp launcher – Average Estimate: 3GB – Acceptable Usage: 30GB
WP Evolver – Average Estimate: 6GB – Acceptable Usage: 60GB
WP Speed ​​Reaper – Average Estimate: 9GB – Acceptable Usage: 90GB

How contradictory to be told that you can host Unlimited websites but you can have about 120,000 visitors per month who will consume 90GB of bandwidth. Acceptable Usage is interpreted by each company however they want, so read ALL the fine print before paying for a package.

For some companies, 20 euros is more important than reputation….

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
