HosterSale vs Spaceship: Which Is Better?

HosterSale sells cPanel web hosting on LiteSpeed servers with NVMe storage in two lines — four "Cheap Hosting" plans for one site up to unlimited sites, and four "Web Hosting" plans aimed at small businesses and agencies — alongside WordPress Care maintenance plans, WHM reseller packages, dedicated servers, cloud VPS and domain registration. Prices are quoted in US dollars, with a separate rupee storefront under /pk/ for customers in Pakistan.

The prices we track are the storefront's headline figures: the 1-year term for shared hosting and WordPress Care, the monthly rate for reseller packages, cloud VPS and dedicated servers. HosterSale states that renewals cost the same as sign-up, which is unusual in budget hosting, where first-term discounts often end in a much higher renewal. Dedicated servers add a one-time setup fee of $24.99 to $49.99.

The website does not publish a company name, registration number or address. The terms of service (last updated in November 2020) refer to "HosterSale.com", the SLA page to "HosterSale Networks", and the phone contact is a Pakistani WhatsApp number. Company details on this page come from HosterSale's own application to DohoHub.

Cloud VPS plans run in Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki, Hillsboro, Ashburn and Singapore, with root access, a browser VNC console and dedicated IPv4 and IPv6, and HosterSale says a new server is live in about a minute. They are priced per region: European plans include 20 TB of traffic a month, US plans 1–5 TB depending on the plan, and the same configuration costs more in the USA and Singapore than in Europe. Configurations marked sold out on the storefront are left out of our list until they return. Shared-hosting server locations are not stated anywhere on the site.

The 30-day money-back guarantee covers hosting plans; the FAQ excludes domains, VPS and dedicated servers, and the terms also exclude add-ons and domain fees. The storefront advertises 99.9% uptime, while the SLA page guarantees 99.99% network uptime with service credits — the SLA is the commitment that pays out.

Spaceship is a domain registrar and web-services platform built by the team behind Namecheap. Spaceship, Inc. is an ICANN-accredited registrar (IANA ID 3862) based at 4600 East Washington Street in Phoenix, Arizona. The company says it has been serving customers since 2022; Namecheap announced the platform's public beta in August 2023, with founder and CEO Richard Kirkendall at its head, and in June 2024 Spaceship reported passing one million domains under management. Spaceship and its Unbox™ feature are trademarks of Namecheap, Inc.

Domains are the core of the platform: around 500 extensions, each with its own registration, renewal and transfer price, free WHOIS privacy through Withheld for Privacy on nearly all of them, DNSSEC, custom nameservers, premium domains and SellerHub, a marketplace for listing and selling your own names. A transfer costs one year of renewal, and that year is added to the existing registration. Spaceship lists domain prices without ICANN's $0.20 annual fee, which it adds at checkout on generic extensions such as .com, .net and .org.

Around the domains sits a full hosting line-up:

• Web Hosting — cPanel plans (Essential, Pro, Supreme) on LiteSpeed with NVMe storage, unmetered bandwidth, Imunify360 and free Spacemail mailboxes for the first year, in US, UK, EU or Singapore data centers.
• EasyWP — managed cloud hosting for WordPress with its own dashboard instead of cPanel, three caching layers and the HackGuardian and MalwareGuardian security tools.
• VPS — nine KVM configurations on AMD EPYC 7742 with DDR4 ECC memory and NVMe storage, in Phoenix or Singapore, billed by the hour or prepaid monthly, quarterly or yearly, with block-storage Volumes, load balancers, Mail Bridge for outbound email and AutoBackup as add-ons.
• Hyperlift — a container platform that builds and deploys apps straight from a GitHub repository and a Dockerfile.
• Spacemail business email, the Supersonic CDN, the FastVPN service and Alf Website Studio, an AI website builder.

Spaceship's pitch is simplicity: Unbox™ connects a domain to the hosting or email bought with it without manual DNS work, and most products start with a free trial and a discounted first billing cycle. That keeps entry prices low, but renewals are higher, and for hosting the 30-day money-back guarantee covers only first-time purchases made without a trial.

Support works by live chat and email (support@spaceship.com) — Spaceship describes the team as ready 24/7 — alongside Alf, an AI assistant built into the dashboard, and a knowledge base. Payment options include major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay and Bitcoin.
