FastComet report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for cPanel hosting near visitors in Asia or Australia
FastComet is straightforward cPanel hosting on LiteSpeed, with daily backups, staging and Imunify360 on every plan, and 11 data centres from Dallas to Mumbai. Two years of Starter cost $107.77 upfront. It then renews at $9.95 a month, and Starter is a single site with 5 email accounts.
Who FastComet is for
- Great if your visitors are in Asia or Australia and you want hosting close by
- Handy when you want staging and daily backups on a cheap cPanel plan
- Good for buyers who'd rather prepay one year than three
Who FastComet is not for
- Tight if you need more than one site or 5 mailboxes, as Starter stops there
- Pricey if you stay past the first term, when Starter goes to $9.95 a month
- Skip it if you want backups kept long on the cheap plan, as Starter holds 7 days
Why FastComet gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyStarter's 2-year term is $107.77 upfront, so two years cost about $4.49 a month, under the $5.97 an A needs. It then renews at $9.95. One year at $23.88 plus a year at $9.95 a month would be $143.28.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. The cheapest way in is a first month at $6.99, which isn't free.
- BFeaturesLiteSpeed Enterprise, Imunify360 with malware scans, staging, daily backups with one-click restores, free transfers and setup, and 11 data centres to pick from. Starter's limits are tight, but nothing in the core job is missing.
- CEase of useNo app store rating to go on. Support sets up a new site for free, but it's cPanel, so there's still a domain and email to sort.
- CPlatforms and integrationsA web panel only. Cloudflare, Imunify360, Softaculous and the apps it installs are named, but no API is on record.

Keep FastComet, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace FastComet you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.2 is higher than 15 of the 21 other web hosts we grade. It costs $23.88 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and cPanel among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. FastComet’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
