TL; DR: Want to know the secret behind a hosting provider that offers plans for less than a cup of coffee? Limitless Hosting will tell you it’s because of one key ingredient: its customers. Founded by Muhammad Hamza at just 16 years old, this web hosting platform has grown to support more than 2,500 websites worldwide, all while guaranteeing hard-to-find price locking that keeps costs predictable — and always affordable.
Last weekend, I saw “The Cursed Child” on Broadway. I know, I know: Opinions on this play are all over the place in the Harry Potter fandom. Some claim it’s not canon, while others just flat-out dislike the script. I had read the script before seeing the show, so I get where they’re coming from. But let me tell you, one thing no one can deny is the stagecraft.
Without giving too much away, there’s a scene where the infamous dementors enter the stage. At first, they loomed over the actors, their cloaks billowing in the air. But suddenly, the dementors floated above the audience. Mere feet in front of my eyes floated a life-sized figure, towering at nine feet, drifting quietly over my head in a dark theater as menacing music swirled around me.
I was instantly pulled back to that scene from “The Prisoner of Azkaban,” reliving the moment Harry faced the dementors at Black Lake with Sirius. It was the closest I’d probably ever get to the Wizarding World (short of visiting Universal Studios, of course).
Now, I bring up this experience because I went in unsure of what I would think of the show, only to be left breathless halfway through. And a similar thing happened when I learned about Limitless Hosting.
It wasn’t that I had preconceived notions — but with so many hosting providers out there, I wasn’t sure what could set this one apart. Turns out, its plans start at 50 cents per month.
And if that doesn’t leave you breathless, I don’t know what will.
We talked with Muhammad Hamza, the Founder of Limitless Hosting to talk about its services and low price points. Actually, HostingAdvice chatted with Muhammad a few years ago when it was still in its infancy, so a lot has changed since then.
But one thing that hasn’t changed is its affordability.
Humble — Yet Impressive — Beginnings
Limitless Hosting was founded in 2016 by Muhammad when he was just 16 years old. (OK, everyone over 25, let’s all take a collective moment to ponder about our own life achievements.)
What started as a way to offer free game servers on a $5 VPS from another provider has since transformed into a thriving business. In just eight years, Limitless Hosting has grown from 200 customers to powering more than 2,500 websites.
Limitless Hosting has data centers located in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Australia, where it serves customers from all around the globe.
But Muhammad said that the company is especially popular in regions where these data centers are located: “We serve customers all over the world, but the data centers ensure low latency for those who want local hosting.”
In 2019, Limitless Hosting shifted its focus from game servers to web hosting due to the increasing demand for affordable options.
According to Muhammad, there are two types of customers: those who prioritize price, and those who focus on performance. Luckily, there’s a plan for both of them:
- Budget Plan: Starting at $0.50/mo, you can choose from five budget plans that best meet your traffic and bandwidth needs. The plans are pretty basic, making it perfect for personal, growing, or SMB websites. The most expensive plan is $5/mo.
- Premium Plan: Starting at $0.90/mo, choose from six plans that offer NVMe SSD, LiteSpeed Web Server, Imunify360, and JetBackups — or upgrade for better speed and security or integrations with NodeJS or Python. The most expensive plan is $12/mo.
Both plan types come with the basics — storage, bandwidth, domains, and MySQL database access — with some extras sprinkled in if you decide to upgrade.
While Limitless Hosting’s Budget and Premium plans are their most popular offerings, Muhammad mentioned that the team plans to introduce more services soon.
“We’re mostly looking at custom services, like website development and management solutions, including managed services based on VPS and cloud servers,” he said. “We’re also planning to offer website development at very affordable prices. That’s what’s coming in the future.”
I’m a big fan of comprehensive providers. If Limitless Hosting rolls out website development services, you can bet I’ll be the first to share the news.
The Secret Sauce? Customer-Driven Growth
Did you know that Limitless Hosting goes beyond just web hosting? Alongside its Basic and Premium plans, the company also offers:
- cPanel Shared Hosting: Plans start at $3/mo and include free SSL, SSD drives, premium emails, remote backups, LiteSpeed web server, and Softaculous integration.
- DirectAdmin Shared Hosting: If you’re not on the cPanel train, try the DirectAdmin control panel. Plans start at just $0.50/mo and include similar features to the Premium hosting plan.
- Reseller Hosting: Have a dream of becoming your own web hosting provider? Starting at $4/mo, you can serve any customer base in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Australia.
- VPS Hosting: If you need more power and flexibility, try Limitless Hosting’s SSD VPS hosting starting at $3.50/mo. Choose your favorite KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) for Linux with plans going up to $40/mo.
- Blesta Software: Limitless Hosting is an official distributor of Blesta, a billing and client management system tailored for web hosting providers. Blesta makes it easy to manage your domains, SSL certificates, and hosting business. It’s also developer-friendly, so you can create custom add-ons, plugins, and modules. Plans start at $10.99/mo, with a one-time payment option available for a higher price.
Just a few years ago, Limitless Hosting was all about hosting game servers. So…how exactly did it grow to offer so many options?
Muhammad credits this expansion to staying focused on market needs and visiting community forums.
“Most web hosting giants don’t do this. If you go to LowEndTalk and WebHostingTalk, you just won’t find GoDaddy or Namecheap there. But we’re very active in these discussions,” he said, and added: “We know if you keep the customers happy, your business will grow.”
This much is obvious when you consider its 4.2 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot. Muhammad said most of Limitless Hosting’s growth is via word-of-mouth.
“If you go to the community forums, you’ll see our own customers recommended us to other people. It’s not a marketing strategy; it’s because they know our affordability and the customer service we provide.”
Celebrating 8 Years of Limitless Hosting
If you ask me, Limitless Hosting’s biggest selling point is clearly its affordable pricing. Thankfully, according to Muhammad, there are no plans to change that.
In fact, it recently introduced a price lock feature.
Think about the last time you signed up for a service, only to be hit with double the cost the next month. Chances are, you missed the fine print about renewal rates — and honestly, who can blame you? I don’t exactly jump at the chance to read those either. But I just want providers to be upfront about their pricing without any surprises down the road.
That’s exactly what Limitless Hosting avoids with its price lock feature: The price you sign up for is the price you’ll continue to pay, with no unexpected hikes on your next credit card statement.
“A customer signs up for hosting, and the next year, another provider tells them the price is going up, usually because of software costs,” Muhammad said. “We assure them: What you pay now is what you’ll pay next year — no surprises.”
I was curious how Limitless Hosting manages to price-lock its services without losing money, but Muhammad explained that they partner only with providers that keep their prices stable and don’t increase the fees annually.
“We’ve been doing this for a while, and it’s a huge relief for customers — no more worries about their bill doubling the next year,” he added.
If you want to save even more money, then I’ve got more good news for you.
Every year for their anniversary, Limitless Hosting offers discounted rates for a limited time. Instead of the usual $0.50/mo (or $6 per year), you can snag hosting services starting at just $2 per year.
“It’s all to celebrate the whole legacy of Limitless Hosting,” said Muhammad.
