In this blog I will cover everything about Hostarmada with Pros and Cons including my personal experience with proof. So Read this blog till end to get a better review of Hostarmada.

Hostarmada Detailed Introduction

Before starting Hostarmada Review let us just talk about them first.

Hostarmada is a newly launched independent Hosting Company founded in the last quarter of 2019. Please notice one thing that I mentioned them as Independent which means they do not resell hosting from anywhere. They have their own dedicated Team for everything, from server management to Client Support.

As a Starter Hosting Company and as a beginner they have approx 2000 client told by one of their support members and I think its good number. Even I have migrated this blog from siteground to hostrmada after trying their hosting in demo site and checking performence. The reason is mentioned below

Technology used by Hostarmada Hosting

So let's start Hostarmada review with the most important factor of any hosting company i.e. Server Technology and Infrastructure. They have Cloud SSD based server like siteground but they are using Linode Cloud infrastructure instead of Gooogle Cloud on Siteground.

They have one thing that makes their server more powerful than siteground and another provider is LiteSpeed Technology. Now many of you are familiar with LiteSpeed but who are not let me tell you that LiteSpeed is something that enhances your normal Apache server without much interference.

The above image shows after using LiteSpeed the server load reduces to very low. Which means you can handle more visitor and requests on the same server after using LiteSpeed technology. Actually, It balances the load and increases the performance of both Apache and PHP. For More about Litespeed Visit here.

The second most interesting thing about LiteSpeed is, it is sole friendly with WordPress and if you use QUIC free CDN by LiteSpeed your website is going to load faster than the rocket.

The third surprise for you is LiteSpeed Plugin for WordPress. It improves code and image optimization and your caching is going to be super smooth with it. So these are the PROS of Technology used by HostArmada to make their Hosting server more powerful than normal cloud infrastructure.

Server Location Provided by Hostarmada

As a starting company, I am very impressed with HostArmada Server locations. As per my research, and also told by one of their executives (Bogdan Toshev) that they are using Linode Cloud Infrastructure which has a benefit for Indian Users because they are going to get Indian Server.
