Website hosting in Pakistan, explained in one place

Shared web hosting means your website lives on a powerful server alongside other customers' sites, and the cost of that machine is split between all of them. For a company profile, a blog, a school site or a modest online shop it is by far the most economical way to get online, and with a properly managed server the visitor never notices that the hardware is shared.

We used to sell each package on its own page. Starter, Economy, Professional and Business each had separate descriptions, which made comparing them harder than it needed to be. This page now brings all four tiers together, side by side, for both operating systems. The Economy plan is simply called Eco today, and Professional is now Pro, but the idea behind each one is unchanged: start small, pay only for what you use, and move up a tier when your site outgrows it.

A detail that still surprises people is that we charge the same structure for Linux and Windows. Many hosts in Pakistan add a premium for Windows. With us the Eco tier costs Rs 2,999 a year on either platform, and the other tiers sit within a few hundred rupees of each other, so the choice of system depends only on the software your website runs.

Every plan comes with a free SSL certificate, email on your own domain, a full control panel and access to our support desk. Read on for help choosing a tier, the differences between cPanel and Plesk, how we move sites from other hosts, and the signs that it is time to step up to a VPS.

What each web hosting account in Pakistan includes

These come with every tier on both platforms. The tiers differ in storage, traffic, mailboxes and databases, not in the quality of the server or support.

Full cPanel or Plesk access

You manage files, databases, email, DNS records, cron jobs and PHP or .NET settings yourself through the panel, with no feature hidden behind a support request. Developers get the same tools they already use on other projects.

SSL issued and renewed for you

Each domain and subdomain on the account receives a trusted certificate automatically. Browsers show the padlock, contact forms submit over HTTPS, and you never have to remember a renewal date or pay extra for a basic certificate.

Malware detection on the server

Our servers scan hosted files for malicious code every day. When a backdoor or injected script turns up, we tell you and help clean it, which also stops the high CPU usage that infected sites often cause.

Mailboxes on your domain

Create addresses for each staff member, from ten on Starter up to unlimited on Business. Use webmail, Outlook or the mail app on your phone, with spam filtering and sender authentication records set up for you.

Free move from your old host

Give us the login of your current cPanel account and we copy files, databases and mailboxes across, then tell you when to switch DNS. Sites on other panels are moved too, with a little more manual work.

Support that knows web hosting

Email and ticket support runs around the clock, and phone support is available from 10am to 8pm. The same team installs scripts, fixes PHP version problems and answers billing questions.

    Pick Linux with cPanel for PHP and WordPress, or Windows with Plesk if your developer built the website in ASP.NET.

    Starter suits one small site, Eco a typical business, Pro a busy store, and Business a site with many mailboxes or heavy traffic.

    Publish files through the file manager or FTP, install WordPress with the app installer, or ask our team to move your site from another host.

Web Hosting Pakistan

Shared web hosting in Pakistan is the practical way for a small business, school or freelancer to get a website online, because one well-managed server is divided among many accounts and its running cost is split between them. Each account on our servers still has its own storage, mailboxes, databases and control panel login, so your files and email stay private even though the hardware is shared.

Most local websites need far less capacity than their owners expect. A company profile with a blog, a clinic's appointment page or a property dealer's listings rarely uses more than a few gigabytes, which is why shared web hosting remains the starting point for most Pakistani sites in 2026. You pay one yearly fee in rupees, and patching, malware scanning and SSL renewal happen in the background without any work from you.

The trade-off is a set of fair-use limits on CPU and memory, which stop one busy account from slowing its neighbours. Brochure sites, blogs and small WooCommerce stores almost never reach them. When a project does, moving up a tier takes minutes, and a later move to a VPS becomes a planned step rather than an emergency.

Still unsure whether shared hosting in Pakistan fits your project? Send our sales team a link or a two-line description and you will get a straight answer before paying anything.

cPanel Hosting Pakistan

cPanel hosting in Pakistan is what most freelancers, agencies and in-house developers ask for by name, simply because cPanel is the control panel they already learned on earlier jobs and in countless video tutorials. Every Linux plan on this page includes it, with the licence cost built into the yearly price rather than added at checkout.

Inside the panel you manage the whole account from one browser tab. The file manager handles uploads without an FTP program, phpMyAdmin opens your MySQL databases, and the email section creates mailboxes, forwarders and autoresponders for your domain. A PHP selector lets each site run the version its software expects, while the cron jobs screen schedules tasks such as WordPress backups or invoice reminders.

The familiarity matters most when people change. If your developer leaves or you hire an agency in Karachi or Islamabad, they can log in and start work immediately, with no time lost learning a home-made dashboard. Full account backups can be downloaded from the same screen, which makes moving a site in or out straightforward.

Security tools sit alongside the everyday features. SSL certificates are issued and renewed for each domain, directory passwords protect admin folders, and the visitor and error logs help track down a broken page. For anyone comparing cPanel hosting in Pakistan, check that the panel is genuine cPanel and not a lookalike; on our Linux plans it always is.

Windows Hosting Pakistan

Windows hosting in Pakistan exists for software written for Microsoft's web stack, and our Windows plans run sites on IIS with the Plesk control panel. If your developer delivered a project with .aspx pages, a web.config file or a Microsoft SQL Server database, it needs this environment; moving it to Linux would usually mean rewriting the application.

Accounting portals, school management systems, hospital booking tools and older corporate intranets in Pakistan are often built on ASP.NET, and these are the projects that belong here. The Eco and Pro tiers include MSSQL databases, so a typical line-of-business app can keep its data in the format it was built for. Plesk lets you switch .NET versions per site, manage IIS settings and view logs without remote desktop access.

Prices start at Rs 2,199 a year for the Starter tier, slightly below the Linux equivalent, and climb to Rs 6,999 for Business with unlimited traffic and mailboxes. Email, free SSL and the full Plesk toolset come with every tier of our Windows hosting in Pakistan, so a company can run its portal and its staff mail from one account.

One common misunderstanding is worth clearing up. Office computers running Windows do not mean your website needs Windows hosting; a WordPress or PHP site belongs on Linux. If you are not sure what your software uses, send us the file list or the developer's notes and we will confirm before you order.

Linux Web Hosting Pakistan

Linux web hosting in Pakistan is the right home for anything written in PHP, which covers the large majority of websites in the country. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Laravel, CodeIgniter, OpenCart, PrestaShop and plain HTML pages all run on Linux servers, and nearly every tutorial, plugin guide and installer assumes that is where you are working.

Our Linux plans pair the operating system with .htaccess support, MySQL databases and cPanel, so the rewrite rules, redirects and permalink settings your software ships with work as documented. Developers can choose the PHP version per site, enable common extensions through the panel and ask support to switch on anything missing that a script requires.

There are four Linux tiers. Starter costs Rs 2,299 a year for a single light site, Eco is Rs 2,999 for most small businesses, Pro is Rs 4,900 for shops and busy WordPress installations, and Business is Rs 7,999 for organisations with heavy email use. Each includes free SSL and the same panel, so upgrading changes only the limits, not the way you work.

Linux hosting is also the more flexible option over time. If a PHP site outgrows its shared account, it moves to a Linux VPS with few or no code changes. For a new project with no special Microsoft requirement, Linux web hosting in Pakistan is the safe default and the one we recommend.

Web Hosting Packages Pakistan

Our web hosting packages in Pakistan come in four tiers on each platform, and the quickest way to choose is to recognise your own project in one of the descriptions rather than comparing gigabytes line by line.

Starter is for a single light site and a handful of mailboxes: a personal portfolio, a doctor's practice page or a landing page for one product. Eco is where most small businesses settle, with 5 GB of space, 60 GB of monthly traffic and seventy-five mailboxes for a company profile, a blog and email for the whole office. Pro suits sites with steady daily visitors or a catalogue, such as a WooCommerce store or a district news portal, and gives you 10 GB and 150 mailboxes. Business removes most ceilings with unlimited traffic, mailboxes and subdomains for larger teams.

All packages are billed yearly in rupees and include free SSL, a full control panel and help moving an existing site from another provider. Upgrades are prorated, so starting small costs nothing later; you pay only the difference for the months that remain.

When comparing web hosting packages in Pakistan, look at mailboxes and databases as closely as storage, since those are the limits small businesses usually reach first. If two tiers both look right, choose the smaller one and upgrade when the numbers tell you to.

  • Starter: one small site, ten mailboxes
  • Eco: a small-business site with office email
  • Pro: stores and busy WordPress sites
  • Business: large teams and heavy email

Frequently asked questions

Which web hosting tier should a new WordPress site in Pakistan start on?

A fresh WordPress blog or company profile runs comfortably on Starter, but most people choose Eco because it allows three databases and seventy-five mailboxes. That leaves room for a staging copy of the site and email for the whole team. You can upgrade to Pro later without reinstalling anything, because the account simply gets larger limits.

Can I upgrade from Starter to Pro hosting halfway through the year?

Yes. Upgrades are handled from the client area and the price is prorated, so you pay only the difference for the months left on your current billing cycle. Your files, databases and email stay exactly where they are. Downgrades are also possible, provided your current usage fits inside the smaller tier's storage and mailbox limits.

Do web hosting prices in Pakistan include a domain name?

No, the yearly hosting price covers the hosting account only. You can register a domain in the same checkout, for example a .com.pk from Rs 4,149 or a .com from Rs 3,429, or point a domain you already own at our nameservers. Keeping them separate means each renews on its own date.

How many websites can I host on the Business shared plan?

Business allows addon domains, so several separate websites can share one account and one control panel. Unlimited subdomains and mailboxes make it practical for groups of companies or departments. The practical limit is the 300 GB of storage and the fair use of server resources, which a handful of normal business sites will not approach.

Is Windows hosting more expensive than Linux hosting?

Not with us. The Eco tier is the same Rs 2,999 a year on both systems, and Windows Starter, Pro and Business are actually a little cheaper than their cPanel equivalents. Choose the platform according to your software, not your budget. Windows plans include Microsoft SQL Server databases on Eco and Pro for .NET projects.

Will my website go down while you migrate it from another host?

It should not. We copy the site while it is still live on the old server, test it on ours, and only then ask you to change DNS. During the propagation period some visitors reach the old copy and some the new one, so avoid editing content or taking orders on the old site in those hours.

What happens if my hosting account uses too much CPU?

You will first receive a notice with details of which scripts or pages caused the load. In most cases our team helps you trace it to malware, a faulty plugin or aggressive bots and the problem goes away. Accounts are only limited when heavy usage continues and threatens other customers on the same server.

Can I get email-only hosting without a website on these plans?

Yes. Many offices use a Starter or Eco account purely for business email on their domain, with a simple holding page or no website at all. If you need a large number of mailboxes, the Business tier is the better fit because it has no mailbox limit and plenty of storage for archived mail.

Unsure between Eco and Pro?

Send us your current site or a short description of the project and we will suggest the tier and platform that fit, before you place an order.
