Web Hosting
UMVA offers four main hosting types: cPanel Shared Hosting (for small to medium websites, blogs, and portfolios), Reseller Hosting (for agencies managing multiple client sites with WHM access), Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server with full root access and dedicated resources), and Cloud VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server with guaranteed physical resources). We also provide specialized hosting for WordPress, eCommerce, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and PHP applications.
Shared hosting is ideal for personal websites, small businesses, and low-to-medium traffic sites. It is the most affordable and includes cPanel with one-click installers. Cloud VPS is suitable for growing websites, custom applications, e-commerce stores, and development environments — you get root access and dedicated CPU/RAM/storage. Cloud VDS is for resource-intensive applications, high-traffic enterprise sites, and workloads requiring consistent high performance with no neighbor contention. All plans can be upgraded as your needs grow.
Yes. We offer free cPanel-to-cPanel migration for all new hosting customers. Our team handles the entire migration process including files, databases, email accounts, DNS settings, and SSL certificates — ensuring zero downtime and no data loss. Simply provide your current cPanel credentials or a full cPanel backup, and we take care of the rest. For non-cPanel migrations, we can assist on a case-by-case basis.
We use cPanel, the industry-standard hosting control panel. cPanel provides an intuitive web-based interface for managing websites, files, databases, email accounts, domains, FTP users, and security settings. All shared and reseller plans include the full cPanel license at no additional cost. Reseller plans include WHM for creating and managing unlimited cPanel accounts for your clients with full administrative control.
All servers are equipped with enterprise-grade NVMe SSD storage for lightning-fast read/write speeds. We use the latest generation Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors with DDR5 RAM. Our network features redundant 10Gbps uplinks, BGP routing with multiple Tier-1 providers, and low-latency connectivity to major internet exchanges. We maintain a 99.9% uptime guarantee with redundant power, cooling, and networking. Data centers are located in North America and Europe.
No. Unlike many hosting providers, we do not impose inode limits on any of our plans. You can host as many files, emails, and directories as your plan storage allocation allows. We also do not limit the number of MySQL databases, email accounts, FTP accounts, or subdomains you can create. There are no hidden restrictions, no arbitrary caps, and no surprise throttling.
All hosting plans include Imunify360 for AI-powered malware scanning and real-time firewall protection, free AutoSSL certificates via Let's Encrypt, DDoS protection through Cloudflare, CageFS file system isolation for shared environments, and daily automated backups via JetBackup with one-click restoration. Advanced security options include IP address blocking, hotlink protection, leech protection, and password-protected directories.
Yes. All our shared hosting plans support multiple websites (addon domains). You can host unlimited domains on a single plan, each with its own separate web root, email accounts, databases, and DNS settings. There are no additional fees per domain. The only limit is your plan storage allocation.
Domains
We offer domain registration, transfer, and management for 800+ TLDs including .com, .net, .org, .co, .io, .app, .dev, .me, .blog, .shop, .online, .site, .tech, .store, .design, .art, .digital, .network, .solutions, .agency, and many more. Every domain includes free WHOIS privacy protection, free SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt, full DNS management (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV), domain lock protection, and auto-renewal with email reminders.
Transferring your domain is straightforward. First, unlock your domain at your current registrar and obtain the EPP (authorization) code. Then, initiate the transfer from your UMVA dashboard by entering your domain name and EPP code. Complete payment for the transfer fee, which includes a free 1-year renewal. The transfer process typically takes 5-7 days. Your DNS settings will be imported automatically, ensuring zero downtime during the transition.
Domain prices vary by TLD. Popular TLDs like .com are priced at $11.75/year, .net at $13.49/year, .org at $9.99/year, and .co at $10.99/year. Introductory TLDs like .xyz start as low as $1.00. Each registration includes free WHOIS privacy, free SSL, full DNS management, and domain protection. Visit our Domain Pricing page for a complete list of all 800+ TLDs with registration, renewal, and transfer fees.
If your domain expires, it follows a standard lifecycle. The grace period (typically 30-40 days) allows you to renew at the standard rate. After that, it enters a redemption period (30 days) where it can be restored with additional fees. If not restored, the domain is released for public registration. We send multiple email reminders before and after expiry to help you avoid losing your domain. We recommend enabling auto-renewal in your dashboard.
Yes. We offer free WHOIS privacy protection on all eligible TLDs. Your personal information (name, address, phone, email) is hidden from the public WHOIS database and replaced with proxy information. This protects you from spam, identity theft, and unwanted solicitations. Unlike many registrars that charge $5-$10/year for this service, it is completely free with every domain registered at UMVA.
Absolutely. You have full control over your DNS records from your UMVA dashboard. You can manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, and SRV records. We also offer Cloudflare DNS integration for enhanced performance, DDoS protection, and easy SSL certificate management. DNS changes typically propagate within 5-30 minutes.
Software Licenses
We offer genuine, original software licenses for cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, CloudLinux, LiteSpeed Web Server, WHMCS, Imunify360, Softaculous, JetBackup, SitePad, Virtualizor, and CXS. All licenses are sourced directly from official vendors and provisioned on their original licensing servers. Every license is fully authentic and verifiable on the vendor official portal.
After purchase, your license is activated instantly on your server. You will receive an installation command to run via SSH. Our auto-installers handle the setup for most license types including cPanel, Plesk, CloudLinux, and LiteSpeed. Activation is fully automated — no manual approval or waiting. Licenses are bound to your server IP address and can be changed anytime at no cost.
Yes. You can change your license IP address as often as you need — completely free. There are no fees, restrictions, or limits on IP changes. Each change takes effect instantly on the original vendor licensing server. This is especially useful when migrating servers or switching data centers.
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on all software licenses. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, contact our support team within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. No questions asked, no hassle. After 7 days, licenses are non-refundable but can be cancelled at any time.

No. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. Once a payment is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be charged back, disputed, or reversed.
