HostPapa Review

For Freelancers and Small Businesses Owners

Likewise, the website builder tool makes life simpler for both freelancers and small business owners. There is also the benefit from the large spread of free templates that come with all the plans. Small business owners intending to build their own sites should also find the free 1-to-1 training session of use to start off with.

For Online Shops

Regardless of whether you are running an existing online store or wanting to create a new one, HostPapa has options for you. They offer a special category of plans dedicated for online shops which have a huge number of dedicated benefits such as checkouts, customer management, reporting tools, and more. All their plans for online stores impose 0% transaction fees and have unlimited resources.

For Agencies and Developers

Unless you’re looking towards their VPS hosting plans where you can customize your own environments, HostPapa has few incentives for agencies and developers. Their support for development tools on shared hosting plans are very limited.

Onboarding with HostPapa

Signing on with HostPapa can be a little bit of an annoying experience because of the confusion that some upsells cause along the way. They put these in place hoping you’ll opt for them as extras but may cause some to wonder the difference between the extras and what’s included.

What’s worse is that many upsell items are checked by default, meaning if you don’t want them you will have to de-select them before proceeding. This may have a significant impact on newbies who as it is are already green to the process and might not de-select the extras.

Aside from that fact, the rest of the process is fairly streamlined with pricing clearly marked as you select or de-select options.
