Opinion and assessment
Nominalia is one of the leading hosting companies in Spain, with a high quality of service, different plans to suit our needs, whether we are home users, professionals, or even if we have a company to use their reseller plans. If our website needs cheap hosting, this hosting is a very good option. In the event that we have a business and want to make ourselves known on the Internet, you should keep in mind that this hosting is fast, reliable and quite affordable. We must also bear in mind that we not only have web hosting, but also dedicated servers or VPS, if we need much more powerful hardware.
What users value most is technical support, some opinions that we can find on specialized websites are “Excellent attention, clear and easy to understand”, they also indicate “Great support”, “Excellent support”, “Very attentive. They solved my problem.” and many more opinions of this style. Technical support is available 24 hours a day, both via chat, email and telephone. In addition, for less experienced users we have many tutorials and video tutorials on how to perform the main tasks in hosting.
All the negative opinions that we can find are related to the technical support of people who are not direct customers, but are distributors or directly not customers. This company seems to accept any criticism and try to fix the problem, and they also offer different compensation based on their feedback, so we think this is something we should keep in mind.
Featured Strengths
- Versatility when choosing hosting, with different features and different associated prices.
- We have free domains for the first year.
- Unlimited monthly traffic in all modes.
- Free email accounts, depending on the hosting we will have a greater number of accounts and storage space.
- Free TLS SSL Certificate with Let’s Encrypt.
- It has a specific hosting for Microsoft technology.
- Basic hosting for WordPress, Joomla! and PrestaShop, in addition, are very cheap.
- Technical support from the company in case we have any technical problems or doubts.
Weak points that need improvement
- On WordPress hosts, Joomla! and PrestaShop, we have very limited virtualized hardware, it’s only 1vCPU, 512MB RAM and 1024KB/s I/O. It would be advisable to increase these characteristics because it will be really short as soon as we have many visits to our website.
- In Linux hosting we can also install a WordPress, Joomla! or PrestaShop with better features for the same price. It doesn’t make much sense to hire the specific ones if you can then install the CMS you want yourself.
Services provided and prices
Any web hosting that you are going to hire is paid based on the hardware requirements necessary to make the website work correctly. If you need a very simple website because it is a personal blog, then you will have to pay very little for it. However, if you need more power, database capacity, more disk space and other hardware resources, then you will have to pay more.
Hosting para web
In this company we have two different types of web hosting. If our website uses Linux-based technologies such as a MySQL database, an Apache2 or Nginx web server, then you should choose Linux-based hosting, although they also call it “professional web hosting”. However, if you use ISS, Full Trust, Microsoft SQL Server, ASP or .NET technologies, then you will need a specific hosting that makes use of Windows Server. Next, we explain everything about both types.
With Linux operating system
If you need a personal website or for your business, this is the type of hosting you should choose. All plans, including the cheapest ones, have the possibility of installing WordPress, Prestashop and even Joomla!, as well as a large number of additional applications to deploy our project on the hosting.

Hosting para blogs
If you want to set up a blog based on WordPress or Joomla!, we have hosting specifically designed for it. Thanks to this web hosting for WordPress, we will have the possibility to install it automatically, install all the plugins that we want and much more. As for Joomla!, we also have some really interesting features.
WordPress
If you hire WordPress hosting, we have web hosting specifically designed for this popular CMS, with more limited features than Linux web hosting, because in the previous one we had different plans with different features. If you are going to have a personal blog this is a really good option, because you do not need more options or plans. In the event that you do need more options and versatility, then it would be better for you to opt for Linux web hosting where we can also install WordPress without any problem.
Next, we are going to explain the main features organized by categories:
- Domains : includes a free domain the first year, we can have all the subdomains that we want, we have unlimited aliases and also redirects.
- Hosting : we have 10GB of SSD disk space, unlimited monthly traffic, unlimited FTP accounts (with access via FTPES as well), backup included, file manager via web, cPanel latest version, PHP with the main versions and we do not have SSH access . Other features are that it supports Perl, Ruby, Python, Varnish and also Cron, in addition, the WordPress CMS itself is installed in its latest version.
- Hardware : we have 1vCPU, 512MB of RAM, up to 10 processes, 1024KB/s of disk I/O and resource monitoring. As you can see, we have quite a few limitations if we have a very complete blog or with thousands of visits. In this case another option would be better.
- MySQL : we can have up to 2 databases with 1GB of space for each database. Includes backup and restore and phpMyAdmin.
- Email : includes up to 5 email accounts with a size of 2GB for each of them. We have access via webmail, POP3, IMAP and also SMTP.
Regarding security, we have the possibility to obtain a premium SSL certificate, or choose the free one from Let’s Encrypt that works perfectly. As for the price of this web hosting for WordPress, it is worth €6.30 per month.
Joomla!
We also have a free importer included in the Joomla! solution, this functionality will allow us to transfer our website from any other hosting. The characteristics of the hosting of Joomla! they are almost exactly the same as those of WordPress, we must bear in mind that they are two very similar CMS at the web hosting level, so it is normal that we have the same characteristics in terms of storage space, hardware used, databases with mySQL , professional email with the chosen domain and much more.
The only difference is that when contracting this service, we will have 2 free domains for one year, we have the possibility to choose the domain that we want for free and then the .online domain is also totally free for the first year. Of course, we have the possibility to use unlimited subdomains, unlimited server aliases and also redirects.
If you need web hosting for your Joomla! and that it is cheap, we are sure that this will work perfectly for you. The price is the same as that of WordPress, it is worth €6.30 per month.
Hosting for online stores with PrestaShop
If you are interested in setting up your own online store with PrestaShop, they have a specific web hosting to make use of this most used e-commerce platform in the world. The main features of PrestaShop hosting are exactly the same as those of Joomla!, we have a total of 10GB of disk storage, unlimited monthly traffic, unlimited FTP users, 1vCPU hardware, 512MB of RAM, up to 2 databases of 1GB each of them and the rest of the functions that we have already explained to you before, also including the promotion of having both domains completely free during the first year.

Hosting reseller
If you are a freelancer or even a small company that is dedicated to designing web pages for your clients, and also to host them on any hosting, here we have the “Reseller” hosting. This Linux hosting allows professionals who manage websites, applications and client stores great freedom, since we have different plans with different prices to adjust to the needs of the professional. In these hosting we have the main versions of PHP, compatibility with Perl, Ruby and Python, we also have Apache2, Varnish, backups, systems against DDoS attacks, firewalls, RAID 1 in the SSDs to avoid problems if one of the disks fails and we have 24h technical support.
