About usHosting we'd want to buy ourselves

MariHost is web hosting for WordPress sites, run on our servers in Singapore for customers in Malaysia and beyond. We keep prices honest, explain what each plan includes, and answer your questions ourselves.

Our story

About us: where MariHost comes from

MariHost began with one website. Our founder, Abdul Bari, hosted his own first site, then his first VPS, and around 2011 started hosting for others as yippie.my, run by his Malaysian business, Bari Excel Enterprise. The first customers came soon after it launched.

In 2018 yippie.my became MariHost, first at marihost.my and, since March 2019, at marihost.com. Mari is Malay for "come": an invitation to come and host with us. Along the way we've offered web hosting, VPS and dedicated servers, email, websites, a CDN and, for a while, game servers. We've run servers in Malaysia, Germany and France in the past; today our hosting runs in Singapore, and we have servers in the UK too.

Since July 2024, MariHost has been run by Berkat Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales: our founder moved to the UK, and a UK company suits customers around the world. Since 2025 we've had our own IP addresses and our own network number (ASN), registered with APNIC. Today MariHost is run by a team, and most of our customers are in Malaysia, almost all of them through word of mouth.

Our setup

How we run hosting

Servers in Singapore

South-East Asia's internet hub, 6 to 12 milliseconds from Kuala Lumpur.

Our own network addresses

Since 2025, our own IP range and network number (ASN), registered with APNIC, so we look after their reputation ourselves.

Security on every server

MariHost Shield protects every website on every plan, with nothing for you to install.

Daily backups

Every website is backed up every day, and you can restore it yourself.

Promises

What we promise

01

Prices that don't jump

You renew at the price you signed up for. No introductory price that doubles a year later, and no three-year lock-in to get a fair price. If you're already a customer, your plan and price stay as they are.

02

Limits stated plainly

Every plan says how many websites, how much storage and how much bandwidth it includes. We don't sell "unlimited", because nothing is.

03

Help from real people

A person who knows our servers answers every ticket. We say how fast we reply, and we don't claim 24/7 support we don't offer.

Also from us
