What you actually get
Hosting is the server space that keeps your site online, plus the tools to run it day to day. Every plan here gives you cPanel, the same control panel across all three tiers, so upgrading later never means learning a new system. A free security certificate is included from the first day, so visitors see the padlock instead of a browser warning. What changes between tiers is how much storage, traffic headroom and mailbox capacity sits behind that dashboard — pick the tier that matches how busy your site already is, not how busy you hope it becomes.
Starter
A single business website or portfolio.
First term at the intro price, then $10/mo — shown before you pay.
Enough room for a brochure site, a blog or a landing page, with a free certificate so browsers show the padlock.
A consultant with a five-page site, a logo and a contact form fits comfortably here, with room left to add a blog.
Get startedBusiness
A busy site, or several sites on one account.
First term at the intro price, then $18/mo — shown before you pay.
More room and more power for shops and sites that get real traffic, plus unlimited mailboxes.
A shop running one storefront plus a few campaign landing pages is a typical fit — unlimited mailboxes mean the whole team gets an address on the company domain without paying per box.
Get startedPro
Stores and busy sites that can't afford to slow down.
First term at the intro price, then $30/mo — shown before you pay.
The largest allowance, with priority support when something needs a human quickly.
An agency running several client sites from one account, or a store that sees a traffic spike every time a sale goes live, is what this tier is sized for.
Get startedPrices shown are billed monthly. An annual or 3-year term applies the intro price across the whole term, so a longer term costs less overall — after it ends, every cycle renews at the same per-month rate.
What each plan actually allocates
All three tiers run the same platform on the same servers — what changes is how much of it your account is allowed to use. These are the limits the plans are provisioned with.
| Allowance | Starter | Business | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVMe disk | 2 GB | 10 GB | 25 GB |
| Bandwidth per month | 100 GB | 500 GB | 1 TB |
| Websites | 1 website | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Mailboxes | 10 mailboxes | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| MySQL databases | 2 databases | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| cPanel control panel | Included | Included | Included |
| Free SSL certificate | Included | Included | Included |
“Unlimited” means the plan sets no limit on how many you create. The disk and bandwidth allowances above are still the real ceiling, which is why they're listed first.
What's under the hood
How fast your site feels is mostly decided by the server before a page ever reaches a visitor. Every account here runs on the LiteSpeed web server with its cache manager built into cPanel, so a WordPress or WooCommerce page can be served straight from cache instead of being rebuilt from the database on every single visit. Underneath that, CloudLinux gives each account its own ring-fenced share of CPU and memory. That is the part shared hosting usually gets wrong: on an unpartitioned server, one badly written script belonging to somebody else can slow your site to a crawl. Here it can't reach your allocation.
If you build sites rather than only run them, the account is a proper working environment: SSH access, Git version control, scheduled cron jobs, and PHP from 5.6 through 8.5 selectable per site — so a legacy application and a modern one can live on the same account without one holding the other back.
The stack, in short
- LiteSpeed web server with its cPanel cache manager — pages served from cache instead of rebuilt on every visit.
- CloudLinux resource isolation — the CPU and memory allotted to your account stay yours.
- Imunify360 and ClamAV — malware scanning, a web application firewall, and virus checks on your files.
- AutoSSL — free certificates that issue and renew themselves, so HTTPS never quietly expires.
- JetBackup 5 — restore points you can browse and restore from inside cPanel.
- Softaculous — one-click installs for WordPress and other common applications.
- SSH, Git and cron — real command-line access, version control and scheduled jobs.
- MultiPHP, 5.6 through 8.5 — pick the PHP version per site, not per server.
- SpamAssassin and two-factor authentication — spam filtered off your inbound mail, and a second lock on the cPanel login.
Security and backups
Security is switched on by default rather than sold back to you as an add-on. Imunify360 scans the account for malware and filters malicious requests with its web application firewall, ClamAV checks files for viruses, and SpamAssassin filters inbound mail so your inbox isn't the weak point. AutoSSL issues and renews your certificate on its own, so HTTPS never lapses because a renewal date was missed. Your cPanel login can sit behind two-factor authentication, and JetBackup gives you restore points you can browse and roll back from inside cPanel yourself, without waiting on a ticket.
Who this is for — and who it isn't
Shared hosting suits most business websites, and it doesn't suit everything. It costs less to say so on this page than to find out after you've moved.
A good fit
- Company websites, from a single page to a full site with a blog behind it.
- Portfolios and personal sites that want a domain, a padlock and mail on the same address.
- Small online stores, on a tier sized for the catalogue and the traffic the shop already has.
Not a fit
- Projects that need root access. You get cPanel, SSH and full control inside your own account — not control of the server it sits on.
- Projects that need custom server software. If something has to be installed system-wide rather than inside your account, shared hosting can't install it.
- Sustained heavy traffic. These plans are provisioned with the allowances listed above, and a site that runs past them is better off on hardware of its own.
In any of those cases the next step is a VPS. We don't sell VPS hosting on this brand; Iraq Server, the company behind this brand, runs that side of the business, and we'll point a project there rather than squeeze it into a plan it has outgrown.
Moving an existing site
If your site already lives elsewhere, moving it is free, and support does the work rather than handing you an export tool and wishing you luck. Open an order through the portal and raise the migration with support before cancelling anything with the old host, so both stay live until the new one is confirmed working. Most migrations are done within 24 hours. There's no size or complexity cap on what qualifies — for a larger or more unusual site, support will look at what you have and confirm the timing for your move once they know what's involved; a five-page brochure and a store with years of order history don't take the same amount of time.

When you outgrow a plan
Moving from Business to Pro is a plan change on the same cPanel stack, not a rebuild — your site, mail and files stay where they are. If a project eventually needs more than shared hosting can give it, such as a dedicated database server or root access, the next step is a VPS, which Iraq Server handles — see the fit section above.
Support
Support runs 24/7, from the team that operates the platform rather than an outsourced desk, and answers in Arabic and English. Typical first response lands around 30 minutes — a target we work to, not a contractual guarantee. Questions about an order, a plan, or a live site go through the client portal or the contact page.
Payment and renewal
Every plan is priced in US dollars and shown at an intro price for the first term — monthly, annual, or three years, whichever cycle you pick at checkout — with the regular renewal price shown next to it before you pay. When a term ends, the plan renews automatically at that regular price unless it's cancelled from the portal first. If you paid by bank transfer rather than card or PayPal, contact support before the renewal date so the next term can be arranged. Every shared hosting order also carries a 30-day money-back window from the date it's placed.
Where it runs
Shared hosting runs from a datacenter in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on a network built for a stable uptime guarantee of 99.9%. Measured performance has generally run higher than that floor, but 99.9% is the figure we stand behind. Amsterdam is also one of Europe's best-connected internet hubs, giving traffic into Iraq and the wider region a well-peered route rather than a single long hop.
What customers say
Shared hosting has no reviews of its own yet, so this is the pooled score across every approved review we hold, for all products.
Frequently asked questions
What's actually included in a hosting plan?
Every plan includes cPanel, a free security certificate, and email on your own domain. Storage, traffic headroom and mailbox limits scale up from Starter to Pro.
How is the price structured — what's the "intro" price?
Each plan shows two numbers: an intro price for your first billing term and the regular price it renews at afterward. Both are shown before checkout, not just the low one.
Which billing cycles can I choose?
Monthly, annual, or three years. Prices on this page are shown at the monthly rate. The introductory discount covers the whole first term, so the longer the term you pick, the longer you pay the intro price — a three-year term works out substantially cheaper than three annual terms bought one after another. Once the first term ends, every cycle renews at the same per-month rate.
What happens when my plan renews?
It renews automatically at the regular price for that plan and cycle, shown on this page and again at checkout, unless it's cancelled from the portal beforehand.
Which plan fits a small business site?
Starter — it's built for a single site such as a brochure page, a portfolio or a small blog.
Which plan fits a store or an agency running several sites?
Pro — it carries the largest allowance on this page, sized for busy stores and agencies hosting more than one client site.
Does hosting include a free SSL certificate?
Yes, on every plan, from the first day — visitors see the padlock without any extra setup.
How many mailboxes come with the Business plan?
Business and Pro include unlimited mailboxes on your domain; Starter includes 10.
Can I move an existing website to Iraq Hosting?
Yes, and the migration is free — support handles the move rather than leaving you to export and import it yourself. Raise it after ordering, before cancelling the old host. Most migrations are done within 24 hours; for a larger or more unusual site, support will confirm timing once they've seen what needs to move.
Can I upgrade later if I outgrow my plan?
Yes, moving between tiers keeps your site on the same cPanel stack. For needs beyond shared hosting, such as root access, Iraq Server, the company behind this brand, offers VPS hosting.
How do I reach support, and in which languages?
Through the client portal or the contact page, in Arabic or English, 24/7. Typical first response is around 30 minutes.
Where do I place an order?
Through our client portal — every plan on this page links straight to its checkout.
What's the refund policy?
Every shared hosting order carries a 30-day money-back window from the date it's placed — cancel inside that window from the portal for a refund. This guarantee covers shared hosting only; other products such as email have their own cancellation terms.
What uptime do you guarantee for shared hosting?
99.9%, the guarantee behind our infrastructure. Measured performance has generally run higher than that floor, but 99.9% is the number we publish and stand behind.
Where are shared hosting servers located?
Amsterdam, Netherlands. Managed app hosting runs from Amsterdam too, though on a different provider — same city, not the same facility. Both sit on a well-connected European network reaching into Iraq and the wider region.
How long does migration take?
Usually within 24 hours. That's the typical case, not a guarantee — a larger or more unusual site takes support longer to move, and they'll confirm timing once they've had a look at what's involved.
Which payment methods can I use?
Card and PayPal are processed at checkout, so the plan is set up as soon as the payment is approved. FIB, Qi and Western Union transfers are arranged with support instead of at checkout, and the plan is set up after support confirms the transfer has arrived. See all payment methods.
Can I run WordPress on shared hosting?
Yes. Softaculous is built into cPanel, so WordPress installs in one click, along with the other common applications it carries. If you already have a WordPress site elsewhere, support migrates it for you rather than leaving you to export and import it yourself.
Which PHP versions can I run?
Anything from PHP 5.6 through PHP 8.5, chosen per site with MultiPHP in cPanel. An older application and a modern one can run side by side on the same account, each on the version it needs.
What protects my site and my mail?
Imunify360 handles malware scanning and web application firewall filtering, ClamAV scans files for viruses, and SpamAssassin filters inbound mail. AutoSSL keeps HTTPS current on its own, JetBackup gives you restore points you can reach from inside cPanel, and the cPanel login itself can be secured with two-factor authentication.
