PonyICU Reviews

PonyICU is a web hosting provider, seemingly originating around 2018, initially potentially targeting the My Little Pony community, but now offering services more broadly. The company primarily focuses on providing free shared web hosting with features often considered 'unlimited', such as disk space and bandwidth, although these are typically subject to fair use policies in practice. Their free plan includes PHP and MySQL support, a control panel (described as 'nice-looking', potentially cPanel or a custom variant), FTP access, free subdomains, Softaculous Apps Installer, and self-signed SSL support. They emphasize instant activation and a 99.9% uptime guarantee for their free service. PonyICU also offers a premium shared hosting plan which builds upon the free offering by including features like a free top-level domain (depending on the billing cycle), unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited addon/parked/subdomains, unlimited FTP accounts, fewer restrictions (e.g., unlimited hits, full cron jobs), and free signed SSL certificates, along with a 5-day money-back guarantee. Their infrastructure is suggested to be located in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. PonyICU positions itself as a starting point for individuals and small projects needing a web presence without initial costs, funded through affiliate partnerships and potentially premium upgrades.
