Startlogic Hosting – Editor’s Review

Startlogic is not as well-known as other shared hosting companies like InMotion, Hostgator, or Fatcow but we think they are doing okay. Do note that Startlogic uses vDeck (instead of cPanel) as their hosting control panel.Although we find that Plesk and cPanel are more or less the same – some customers might have strong preferences in this.

What’s good about Startlogic Hosting?

  • Cheap hosting without long commitement period – the $5.95/mo price tag is available for those who take up 2 year or 1 year plan.
  • Host all your websites in one account – Customer gets unlimited hosting capacity with ProLogic hosting plan.
  • 24/7 customer sales and technical support via 1800 numbers, live chat, and email.
  • Clear trial and refund policy , customers get up to 30 days of trial period.
  • Alternatives for cPanel hosting (the majority) – Startlogic support vDeck 3.0 as control panel.
  • Support both Linux and Windows hosting -convenient for customers who need Microsoft Windows features.
  • Easy web maintenance with fully integrated Google Custom Search and Webmaster Tools.

What’s bad about Startlogic Hosting?

  • Limited MySQL database capacity – 25 databases are not enough for users with lots of websites.
  • Limited addon domain capacity for Windows and Personal hosting plan.
  • Does not provide dedicaed hosting – customers who wish to upgrade to dedicated hosting will need to move web host. However, Startlogic does offer virtual server (VPS) at a reasonable price. There are three VPS hosting plan – VPSLogic, VPSLogic Pro, and VPSLogic Premium.

Conclusion: Startlogic = Best vDeck Hosting?

Startlogic hosting is recommended for those who are looking for affordable vDeck hosting or who wish to start small with shared hosting and look forward to upgrade to VPS hosting in future. However, given the lack of hosting features and hosting capacity, we find their Personal or Windows hosting plan is a little expensive. We do not recommend Startlogic for those who are looking for cheap hosting.
