Why customers choose Maiahost

  1. 1
    Support that actually solves problems

    Performance-focused hosting (no gimmicks)

    Our platform is tuned for real-world CMS performance with modern caching options and a stack built for fast page delivery.

  3. 3
    Reliable operations and honest maintenance

    We keep maintenance practical and minimal, and we communicate clearly when it's required.

Our “no runaround” promise

We don't sell you something you don't need, and we don't waste your time with scripts and hold music. If you have a problem, we'll help you solve it—fast.

Free website migration

Moving to Maiahost is simple:

  • Free migration for small websites
  • Larger migrations (over 20GB) are handled as a paid service

We can also assist with DNS, MySQL, PHP configuration, and general troubleshooting to get your site working properly after the move. If your site requires special PHP modules or server-level customization that shared hosting can't provide, we'll tell you upfront and recommend the right solution (VPS/Cloud/Dedicated).

More than hosting

Hosting is our primary focus, but we also offer professional website development, plus digital marketing and SEO through our partner site: dotcom.services
