Orbis.hr review:
Overview
Orbis is headquartered in Varaždin, where it was founded in 1996. The company also offers “turnkey” website creation or redesign services. The site's reference page contains dozens of examples, though it doesn't include any big names, covers every possible industry and type of business, and lists the special features included on the site that specifically. Additionally, I can help apply for funding to create a website provided by various foundations. Unfortunately, a similar reference list for hosting users is not available anywhere, and considering the age and reputation of the company, it would be interesting to see it.
Another thing that Orbis doesn't really take note of is the somewhat dated look and feel of their website, which doesn't compare to their own projects done for other companies, and there's quite a bit of advice on the site so it could do with a little redesign of that area and beautification.
Servers in Croatia, EU and USA
Orbis has servers in Croatia (in HT's data center in Zagreb), as well as in the EU and US, which means users can choose where their website is located. This will have huge implications for companies that primarily target foreign markets. All plans include daily data backups, except unlimited plans that do weekly, virus and spam protection, and 99.9 website availability %.
In addition to all that, SSL certificates are also available, and SSW ("Sam-your-own-webmaster") Sitebuilder, Orbis' website creation tool integrated with their hosting service, is of particular interest. heart. However, this service is charged separately.
The dashboard is simple and reconsidered
Managing your website is easy as the Orbis hosting Control Panel is equipped with the Softacoulos one-click software installation tool, where you can find over a hundred programs, platforms, and software. different platforms and tools. These range from content management systems to forums to e-commerce and support.
The interesting thing I encountered with Orbis is that managing plans, domains, accounts, and tickets is also possible through the Dashboard itself, in addition to the user area on Orbis itself. In other words, you can comfortably dive into the Dashboard where everything is in one place and simply forget about the usual interface for Orbis user accounts.
How much does having a data center in Croatia help? Rather!
Dedicated servers in Croatia located in the HT data center powered by Orbis are no joke: our test site on Orbis hosting achieved 100% site availability and loading speeds is 1.72 seconds, which is in line with other top hosting providers in Croatia. So, with Orbis, users will definitely not abandon you because of slow loading speed.
Extremely fast support
Friendly support will easily assist you when you need help and solve various problems or meet with you to answer financial questions. Orbis offers support in four ways: by phone, via live chat, and e-mail, available from 7am to 5pm, and tickets are always available. Tickets are considered the standard way to request support, are available 24/7, and work flawlessly: my question was answered in just 6 minutes.
The website doesn't indicate at all when support is available, which is surprising as the round-the-clock response to requests is commendable. Why not highlight it a bit and attract users with that useful feature? This will definitely take the service to an even higher level.
The knowledge base is surprisingly useful and informative as it contains really practical guides and tips, and the blog content covers quite practical problems that will often solve the problem. user issues without having to contact support.
The package is very affordable and flexible
Orbis's website has a slightly outdated design and is not very transparent, but the hosting prices for each variant (Linux SSD, Windows, Reseller, Unattended VPS, Dedicated...) are quite clear and explained. clear. At the time of writing this review, the cheapest plan may be "Linux SSD Lima", with an annual price of only 101 HRK per year. Also at the time of writing this review, we were able to negotiate terms and get hosting (sized "Business Linux 3" or higher) on a monthly basis instead of annually. It is also possible to subscribe for two or three years at the same time and thus receive an additional discount.
Support also self-initiated (yes, self-initiated!) asked me a few questions about my profile and the reason for purchasing the hosting to determine if I qualified for an additional discount. no (e.g. student discount), which is great.
All annual plans include a free SSL certificate and a free .com .net .org .info .biz .eu .com.hr or .doo.hr domain, as well as . hr free. Additional domain registration prices are really affordable, with low and very competitive margins. Additionally, if you switch from another hosting provider to Orbis, you are guaranteed to transfer content for free.
On top of that, there's also an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, which is a nice feature, but sadly it's hidden somewhere deep in the terms of use instead of being featured right on the front page to attract more. user.
Orbis accepts bank, card and PayPal payments as payment methods. At any time, the appropriate financial invoice can be downloaded from the user interface.

Servers in Croatia, EU and USA
