The WinsHosting service commitment to Pakistani website owners

When a business pays for hosting, it is really paying for confidence: that the website will be online when customers look for it, that email will arrive, and that someone will help when something goes wrong. Our service commitment exists to make that confidence concrete. It is our promise to keep your website running at its best and to treat your satisfaction as the measure of whether we have done our job.

We have served customers since 2003, and over those years we have learned that the most valuable guarantee is one you rarely need to use. Fine print matters, but a server that stays up, a support agent who answers in Urdu or English and an invoice that does not change with the dollar matter more. That is why our commitments cover the whole service, from the hardware to the people.

The guarantees on this page apply to our shared web hosting plans, and many apply to reseller hosting, VPS and dedicated servers as well. Where the conditions differ between services, we say so plainly, and the full legal wording is in our terms and conditions. If you are comparing us with another host, put the two guarantees side by side and look for the conditions in the small print; ours are written out in full below.

If you ever feel we have not met these commitments, tell us. Open a ticket, call +92-312-4188424 or visit our office in Johar Town, Lahore, and a manager will look at what happened and what we can do to put it right.

Questions to ask about any hosting guarantee before you pay

Use this list to compare our guarantee with any other host's, line by line.

  • Is the uptime figure a target, and does it exclude announced maintenance windows?
  • Are prices shown in rupees, or will the dollar rate change your renewal?
  • Is there a setup fee, and does the renewal price match the first-year price?
  • Where are the refund conditions written, and which charges can never be returned?
  • Who answers support tickets: the host's own staff or an outsourced call centre?
  • Can you reach someone by phone during an outage, not only by ticket?
  • Does every plan include a free SSL certificate for HTTPS?
  • Will the host help you download a full copy of your website on request?
  • Are domain names registered in your own name and contact details?

Hosting guarantees included with WinsHosting plans

These commitments come with our hosting at no extra cost.

99.9% server uptime target

Uptime is the most important measure of any web host, and it is where we focus first. Our team keeps a close watch on server health and load, and we aim to keep every hosting server online at least 99.9% of the time.

Careful handling of your website data

Your files, databases and mailboxes belong to you. Our staff open an account only to work on a problem you have reported, customer details are never sold to marketers, and our team will help you download a complete copy of your site whenever you ask.

No setup fees on shared plans

There is no setup fee on our shared hosting. You pay the plan price shown in rupees, and your account comes with the latest cPanel or Plesk control panel ready to use.

One-click script installs

Install WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart and hundreds of other applications in a few clicks from your control panel, with no need to upload files or create databases by hand.

24/7 hosting helpdesk all year

Our support desk is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year, with hosting staff who focus on solving the actual problem rather than closing the ticket.

Competitive rupee pricing

We pair reliability with affordable prices. Compare our plans with the market before you buy, and if a plan seems expensive for your needs, our team will suggest a more suitable option.

Uptime Guarantee

Our uptime guarantee is a 99.9% target for the servers that carry your website and email. Uptime is simply the share of time a site can be reached, and 99.9% allows for less than nine hours of interruption across a full year. For a shop taking orders or a firm that receives quotations by email, that difference between "usually online" and "reliably online" is felt in lost enquiries.

Meeting a server uptime target is mostly about discipline. Our technical team watches server health and load closely so problems can be spotted before customers notice them. Shared servers are not packed with more accounts than they can serve well, and per-account resource limits stop one busy website from slowing every other site on the same machine.

Planned maintenance, such as hardware upgrades or operating system patches, is scheduled for quieter hours and announced in advance when a noticeable interruption is likely. Some outages lie outside our network, for example a fault at your internet provider or a DNS change made at another registrar, and those do not count against the reliable hosting figure. Our support staff will still help you trace the cause.

If your site ever seems to be down, open a ticket or call us straight away with the time and the exact address you tried. That detail lets us check logs quickly and confirm whether the problem is the server, the domain or the connection you were using.

Hosting Service Guarantee

Our hosting service guarantee is a set of everyday commitments rather than a single headline promise. It covers how we price, how we set up accounts, how we look after your data and how quickly a real person picks up your problem. Each point applies from the day your account goes live, not only after something has already gone wrong.

Pricing comes first. Shared hosting is billed yearly in Pakistani rupees, from Rs 2,199 on the Windows Starter plan and Rs 2,299 on Linux Starter, and the figure on the order page is the figure on your invoice. There is no setup fee on shared plans, and renewal invoices are emailed ahead of the due date so they never arrive as a surprise. VPS and dedicated servers are priced monthly in US dollars, and our billing team tells you the rupee amount before you transfer it.

Delivery comes next. Shared accounts are created with cPanel on Linux or Plesk on Windows, a free SSL certificate and webmail on your own domain, ready for you to upload a site or install WordPress on the same day.

Last is fairness when things go wrong. If a fault on our side affects your service, we explain what happened in writing, and any billing question, including a refund request, is handled as set out in our terms and conditions. That clarity is the backbone of the hosting service guarantee our Johar Town team has stood behind since 2003.

Hosting Service Level Agreement

Our hosting service level agreement is the written promise behind every account: what we deliver, how we keep it running and what you can expect when something goes wrong. It turns the commitments on this page into terms you can point to, rather than marketing language that disappears when you need it.

For shared hosting, the SLA covers the essentials. Accounts come with the latest cPanel on Linux or Plesk on Windows, branded webmail on your own domain, a one-click installer for popular applications and a free SSL certificate, with no setup fee. Every price is shown and invoiced in rupees, so a weaker rupee never changes your renewal bill.

Resellers receive a full reseller console for creating hosting accounts, assigning disk space and bandwidth and managing clients under their own brand, while each of their customers gets a separate control panel. For dedicated servers and VPS plans, the service level commitment is true resource management: the CPU, memory and storage in your plan are reserved for you and not shared with other customers. Servers arrive ready to configure, and extra setup work can be arranged at an agreed charge.

The hosting SLA also defines what sits outside our control, such as faults in your own website code, third-party scripts or another provider's network. Knowing where the line falls helps you plan, and our team will still point you towards a fix.

Data Security Guarantee

A data security guarantee from any host is a shared responsibility, and we prefer to say that plainly. Our part is to run the servers, network and control panels carefully; your part is to keep your own website, passwords and plugins in good order. Websites are safest when both sides do their share.

On our side, every hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate, so data travelling between your visitors and your site is encrypted and browsers show the padlock rather than a "not secure" warning. Shared accounts are separated by resource limits so that one compromised or overloaded site does not drag others down with it. Accounts used for spam, malware or pirated software are suspended under our acceptable use rules, which protects the reputation of the servers everyone shares. VPS and dedicated customers receive isolated resources that no other customer can reach.

On your side, the most common causes of hacked websites in Pakistan are outdated WordPress plugins, reused passwords and abandoned themes. Keep the CMS and its add-ons updated, use a different strong password for the control panel and email, and remove plugins you no longer use.

If you suspect a problem, contact support immediately. Our team can help you find suspicious files, reset access and restore secure hosting for your site. Our knowledge base also has guides on website protection for common platforms.

Support Response Guarantee

Our support response guarantee is built on people rather than scripts. The team is available 24/7, 365 days a year, and the staff who answer are hosting specialists employed by WinsHosting, not an outsourced call centre reading from a sheet. Our long-standing aim has been average support hold times under 30 minutes.

Each contact route suits a different need. A support ticket is the best choice for technical problems, because it goes straight to the right department, keeps a written history and lets you attach screenshots or error messages. Email to info@winshosting.com works well for general questions and sales@winshosting.com for quotes. For urgent faults, such as a website that has suddenly gone offline, call +92-312-4188424 or +92-42-35311959.

A quick reply is only useful if it leads to a real fix. Our 24/7 hosting support staff know our servers, control panels and the local details customers deal with, from PKNIC renewals to JazzCash and Easypaisa payment references. If the problem lies in your own code, we will say so honestly and point you towards a solution even when the work falls outside free support. If the fault is ours, we say that too and keep you updated until it is resolved.

Customers who prefer to talk face to face can visit our office in Johar Town, Lahore, during working hours.

How refund requests fit into the WinsHosting hosting guarantee

We do not offer a fixed refund window on hosting. Any request for a refund or account credit is reviewed individually and handled as set out in our terms and conditions, which also list the charges that cannot be returned, such as domain registrations already paid to a registry.

Unsure how this applies to a particular order? Email sales@winshosting.com before you pay and our team will confirm the position in writing.

Questions about WinsHosting uptime and service guarantees

How can I check the uptime of my own website independently?

Free external monitoring services can check your homepage every few minutes and email you when it stops responding. Set one up after launch and you will have your own record to compare with ours. Remember that a monitor reports a page error from a broken plugin as downtime too, so check the error message before assuming the server is down.

Does the WinsHosting guarantee also cover reseller hosting accounts?

Yes. Reseller accounts sit on the same monitored servers, share the same uptime target and reach the same 24/7 support desk. What you promise your own clients is up to you, so write your own service terms that match ours rather than exceed them. Our team can explain which parts of the platform we look after and which parts your clients will expect you to handle.

What compensation do I get if WinsHosting misses the uptime target?

If your shared hosting has suffered an outage caused by our servers or network, open a ticket in the billing department describing the dates and the impact on your site. A manager will review our server records for that period, explain what happened and agree a fair outcome with you.

Is website security part of the WinsHosting guarantee?

We secure the servers, network and control panels, apply updates and scan for malware. The security of the scripts you install, such as WordPress plugins or custom code, and the strength of your passwords remain your responsibility. Keeping your applications updated is the single most effective step you can take against hacking, and our team can advise you on a safe update routine.

Can WinsHosting move my existing website without any downtime?

Usually, yes. Our team can help copy files, databases and email from your previous host into your new account. Keep the old hosting active until you have tested the website on our servers and the DNS change has spread, which normally takes a few hours to a day. Visitors and incoming mail then switch over with no visible gap.

Does the guarantee cover email delivery to Gmail and Outlook inboxes?

We guarantee that our mail servers are running and correctly configured. Whether a particular message lands in the inbox also depends on the receiving provider's filters, your SPF and DKIM records and the content of the message. Our support team can check your records and advise if your messages are being marked as spam.

Are WinsHosting guarantees available to overseas customers?

Yes. The same commitments apply wherever you live. Overseas customers often pay by card or PayPal, and the invoice shows the amount clearly before payment. Support works across time zones, and ticket replies go to the email address on your account, so you can follow up at any hour from the UK, the Gulf or North America.

What should I prepare before asking support for help with a problem?

Give the domain name, a short description of what you expected and what happened, the time it occurred and any error message or screenshot. Mention recent changes such as plugin updates or DNS edits. With that information, our team can usually find the cause on the first reply instead of asking follow-up questions.
