Detailed Review of Hawk Host
Hawk Host has long been a popular choice among web hosting users worldwide. It offers cost-effective prices, especially when subscribing for 1 year or more, along with reasonable storage capacity. This provider has garnered extensive user support.
One notable advantage of Hawk Host is its multiple data centers located in various countries around the world, including the United States, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Singapore. This variety allows users to choose the most suitable server location based on their website’s audience.
However, a drawback of Hawk Host is the absence of servers in Vietnam, which may result in slower website access speeds for users in Vietnam compared to websites hosted on servers located in Vietnam. Storage options on Hawk Host are enticing, with two choices: 10GB and Unlimited storage. However, each package has a specific limit on the number of files (inodes), and customers cannot store additional files once this limit is reached. This could pose challenges for WordPress websites with extensive content and additional cache plugins to improve website speed.
Additionally, the registration and activation process is not automatic and may require approval, taking approximately ~45 minutes depending on the time of registration during the day.
