WebHostFace is a new US hosting company.
The company was established in 2013.
As a company specializing in hosting, the hosting services here of the company are quite complete including: shared host, VPS, dedicated hosting. And domain registration too.
But shared host service is still the most popular.
After a few years of providing hosting services, the company is gradually being known by many people for its fast speed hosting service and good quality support.
The hosting package here is extremely suitable for students who want to make money with affiliate marketing .
Because WebHostFace offers a 90% discount for the first time. So the hosting price here is probably the best in the market here.
While the quality is generally acceptable. Compared to GoDaddy’s $ 1 / month hosting package, it only loses in that: no domain free. But this hosting package of GoDaddy is not as fast as Vietnam because there is no location in Asia.
However, in general, the quality of WebHostFace is still not as good as high-end hosting providers like A2Hosting .

Some highlights of hosting services at WebHostFace
1. Good speed
WebHostFace currently has 4 data centers: 2 in the US, 1 in Germany, and 1 in Singapore.
Thus, it has a location in Singapore near Vietnam. Therefore, the hosting service promises good speed to Vietnam.
If you are looking for foreign hosting with an Asian location, you have one more option.
If you don’t know, here are a few reputable hosting companies with locations in Asia:
HawkHost has locations in Hong Kong and Singapore
A2Hosting , StableHost has a location in Singapore.
The location I chose is Singpare, so it is difficult to use GTMetrix tool because there is no test server in Vietnam.
Here is a snapshot of the speed test. I choose the test server is Hong Kong for near Singapore.
The numbers here are for reference only. With this location, WebHostFace’s speed to Vietnam is not surprising.
2. Good quality support
In the process of learning about hosting services at WebHostFace, I see people often compliment the quality of support.
Currently, WebHostFace provides you with many forms of support including: opening tickets, live chat or calling. Or you can ask questions via Twitter.
You can access 24/7 support so you don’t have to worry about time zone differences. Or you have to watch the working hours like many other hosting companies.
Personally, when I signed up for hosting here, I discovered that I chose the wrong location. Instead of choosing the Singapore location, I chose the USA.
I was thinking about what kind of question to ask to try the support service, but I encountered this problem. Well done.
So I click on live chat.
I don’t have to wait too long. The support staff is very enthusiastic and immediately transferred the location to me.
The staff is also very enthusiastic and seems to be knowledgeable about what to do.
3. Allows you to choose multiple PHP versions
You may know that:
Upgrading PHP to the latest version is also a way to increase website speed.
But unfortunately many hosting companies out there have delays in supporting the latest PHP version.
WebHostFace is one of the few companies that allows you to upgrade to the latest PHP 7.1 version currently available.
Most companies only support PHP version 7.
4. Daily backup
WebHostFace has daily website backup using R1Soft software in cPanel.
So you can easily restore the website when an unfortunate incident occurs.
However, I still recommend that you have an additional backup plan to be sure. Anyway, backups at hosting companies are usually not real-time.
5. 30 Days Refund Policy
Like many other foreign hosting companies, hosting at WebHostFace is risk-free.
If you are not satisfied, you can request a refund within 30 days.
Note that if you use additional services, you will not be refunded for such costs.
And you won’t get a refund after 30 days of use.
At this point WebHostFace is slightly inferior to A2Hosting . With A2Hosting you will be refunded for the remaining time that you have registered.
6. Free website transfer
If you are hosting elsewhere, you can use WebHostFace’s free web transfer service.
However, the number of free transfer websites is limited depending on the hosting package you sign up for.
Overall if you already have experience with WordPress, you can easily switch hosts.
See this tutorial of mine.
It only took me a few minutes to transfer the gocnguoilon blog from HawkHost to WebHostFace.
7. Get a free Let’s Encrypt certificate.
Entering 2017, the homeowner installed SSL for the website.
Most people choose the Let’s Encrypt certificate.
Simple:
Because it’s free and built into the host. So the installation only takes you a few clicks.
That said, many hosting companies are still lazy to integrate Let’s Encrypt.
Disadvantages of hosting at WebHostFace
WebHostFace still seems to be a little known brand in Vietnam.
But through experience, the hosting service is okay, not too bad. Instead of having to use pretty crappy free hosting services , why not use WebHostFace for just $0.69 a month.
You will have the latest cPanel with full utilities such as PHP 7.1 upgrade, Let’s Encrypt, automatic daily backup.
The next downside is the rather high renewal fee. Therefore, you should take advantage of promotions to develop your website at a low cost. After the website has had a lot of traffic, you can switch to using VPS.
The price of 3 hosting packages without promotion is as follows:
Face Standard : $6.9/month.
Face Extra : $10.9/month
Face Ultima : $19.9/month.
But there is a rather special point that no other hosting provider has:
WebHostFace offers a lifetime payment model.
This is also how WebHostFace excels compared to its competitors to retain customers for life.
Current lifetime rates are as follows:
Face Standard: $180
Face Extra : $360
Face Ultima : $600
Besides, the shared host packages here all have capacity limits. The capacity of the host packages is 15/20/30 GB respectively.
While most of the hosting services out there you get unlimited storage.
But:
For me personally, the capacity like this is also used in a rush. If you have large storage needs, you should also know this drawback.
Another point you also need to know is that the cheapest hosting package only allows you to install one website. However, WebHost still allows you to install more if you accept to pay extra $ 2 / month.
This score is not as good as HawkHost’s Primary plan or A2Hosting’s Swift plan.
