Hostker was established at an unknown date and is a cloud VPS hosting provider affiliated with 90 Innovation Lab Company. Here is an introduction about the company 90 Innovation Lab: 90 Innovation Lab was founded in 2012. It has extremely strong technical strength. The average working time of its team members is 6+ years. It has built its own cabinets in many computer rooms around the world.
Regarding their services, we are more familiar with the well-known virtual hosting service provider and domain name registrar in the WordPress world (Moe domain names account for 10% of the global market share) host shell and mid-to-high-end VPS service provider HXKVM Haixingyun. On the contrary, Hostker, as the sister brand of main casing, has always been relatively low-key.
Hostker operates in Vultr mode and supports hourly billing. It can be used immediately and deleted when not in use. Today I will tell you how to buy it and do a review. (PS: This article comes from a contribution from a DvBlog blogger. It is written in great detail, especially Hostker’s Hong Kong VPS, which is relatively cheap. Friends who are in need of this can consider it. In addition, the “style” of the official website really impressed me. (° △ °|||)︴）
