Frequently asked questions

Questions?

Straight answers.

The essentials on renewals, upgrades, and domains.

Getting started

HoboHost? Is this for real?

Yes! We work hard to provide you with exceptional savings, but enough margin to run a real business you can count on now and in the future. The "hobo" in HoboHost represents how cheap & easy it is to get your own website and is by no means a representation of our support and/or business.

Are cPanel® and Softaculous included on all hosting packages?

Yes! We feel this is a must and they are included on all hosting packages.

Plans & renewals

What is the renewal price?

Right now, annual renewals total $17.88 for Floor, $41.88 for Bench, and $65.88 for Box or Subway. Each includes hosting and the cPanel® license, which we show separately. We've kept our hosting rates the same since 2008. If the cPanel® license cost changes, the total may change with it.

What if I need to upgrade later?

It's simple! Open a support ticket and we can issue an invoice for the difference between the hosting packages on your current billing period. We can also offer custom packages depending on your needs.

Domains & servers

Where are your servers currently located?

They are all located in California!

Do I need to transfer my domain to you?

We offer very competitive pricing on domain names that is often much cheaper than at other registrars. If you prefer, you can still host with HoboHost and keep your domains at any registrar you choose. Simply point your domain to the nameservers that are provided when you sign up.
