Thamara Cloud Hosting Review: Lifetime Hosting Plans Examined

Thamara Cloud offers a range of hosting services to suit different needs. The core offerings include standard Web Hosting, specialized WordPress Hosting, and WooCommerce Hosting for online stores. Each category has three plan tiers (Startup, Grow, and Scale) to accommodate everyone from hobbyists to businesses. Notably, all of these plans can be purchased in the traditional way (monthly or yearly payments) or as one-time Lifetime plans – giving you flexibility in how you pay.

The Web Hosting plans are Thamara’s general-purpose hosting packages for any kind of website. These are shared hosting environments (meaning your site shares server resources with others) optimised for typical websites or blogs. There are three tiers:

Startup Plan

Supports up to 25 websites on one account, with 25 GB of NVMe SSD storage and roughly 50,000 monthly visits worth of capacity.

It includes unlimited bandwidth (no caps on traffic data) and up to 50 email accounts (free for the first year) for your domains.

This plan provides all the essentials for starting out – one-click installer for apps (e.g. WordPress), a powerful control panel (Plesk) to manage your site, and standard security features like SSL, firewall, and weekly automated backups.

The price is very enticing for beginners: $6 .99/month at regular rate, but if you pay annually the cost comes down to the equivalent of $1.59/month for the first term (73% off).

Even more impressive, you can opt for a lifetime purchase: a one-time fee of $199 for the Startup plan, which means no further hosting bills ever. 

For a personal blog, portfolio, or small business website, the Startup plan is a budget-friendly choice that covers all basics. It’s best for those who are just launching or have low to moderate traffic.

Grow Plan

As the name suggests, the Grow plan is geared toward scaling up. It raises the limits to 50 websites and 50 GB of storage, with approximately 250,000 monthly visits capacity in total.

You can have up to 100 email accounts on this plan. Besides larger quotas, Grow includes a few extras that the Startup plan doesn’t: for example, daily automatic backups (instead of weekly) and on-demand backups whenever you want, plus a free CDN (Content Delivery Network) to accelerate your site globally.

The added resources make it suitable for multiple websites or a growing blog/business that’s attracting more visitors.

Pricing, if paid monthly, is about $8.99/month (regular rate), but on a discounted yearly term it averages out to ~$2.59/month. The Lifetime one-time price for Grow is $299. This one-time fee could be very cost-effective if you anticipate running your sites for several years.

The Grow plan is an excellent middle-ground for small businesses, freelancers managing several client sites, or anyone who finds the Startup plan a bit limiting over time. It offers more breathing room in terms of traffic and storage, ensuring your sites won’t outgrow the plan too soon.

Scale Plan

This is the top-tier shared hosting plan, designed for heavy-duty needs. It allows unlimited websites and comes with 100 GB of NVMe storage, accommodating roughly 350,000 monthly visits across your sites.

You get up to 200 email mailboxes (first year free) which is plenty for larger organizations. The Scale plan includes everything in Grow (daily backups, CDN, etc.) and adds even more: for instance, you receive a dedicated IP address (useful for custom SSL or certain applications) and priority 24/7 support, meaning your support requests jump to the front of the line.

This plan is built to handle high traffic without breaking a sweat – great for busy e-commerce sites, popular forums, or agencies hosting numerous client websites.

The pricing reflects the premium nature: around $19.99/month regular, with first-term discounts bringing it to ~$4.59/month on longer billing cycles. The lifetime purchase price is $399 one-time. While $399 upfront is significant, consider that at full price this plan would cost about four times that amount over a few years – the lifetime option can pay off if you’re in it for the long term.

Choose the Scale plan if you require maximum capacity and features from a shared hosting environment – for example, if you run multiple high-traffic sites or an online business where uptime and speed are mission-critical.

All Web Hosting plans include the core features we discussed earlier: free SSL certificates, DNS management, one-click installers, and security measures like firewall and malware scanning on all tiers. Importantly, each plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if you try Thamara Cloud and find it’s not a good fit in the first month, you can get a full refund – a nice safety net for new customers.

If your website runs on WordPress, Thamara Cloud offers specialized WordPress Hosting plans. These correspond to the same tiers (Startup, Grow, Scale) but are tailored for optimal WordPress performance and convenience. Under the hood, the resource limits (websites, storage, bandwidth) are similar to the standard plans, but you get additional WordPress-centric benefits:

WordPress-Optimized Environment

All WordPress plans use servers configured with LiteSpeed caching for WordPress, meaning your WordPress site can load extremely fast. Features like WordPress Acceleration (LiteSpeed Cache), object caching, and a “smart” update system for WordPress core and plugins ensure your site stays speedy and up-to-date.

There’s support for WordPress Multisite if you run multiple sites under one WP install, and developer tools like WP-CLI (command-line interface) and Git are available for those who need them. Essentially, Thamara’s WordPress hosting is a managed service – many performance tweaks and maintenance tasks are handled for you, so you can focus on content.

Free Premium Plugin Bundle

A standout perk for WordPress users is that Thamara includes six premium plugins as part of the hosting package. This is quite valuable – you’re getting paid plugins without needing to buy them yourself.

The bundle includes tools like Perfmatters (for performance optimization), ShortPixel (image compression to speed up your site), Rank Math Pro or Free (SEO optimization), AI Engine (likely for AI content assistance or chatbots), and in higher tiers even Bricks Builder (a visual site builder) and MetForm (form builder).

For example, the Startup plan comes with Perfmatters, ShortPixel, Rank Math, and AI Engine included. The Scale plan, on the other hand, includes all of those plus extras like Bricks Builder and MetForm.

These plugins can significantly improve your site’s speed and functionality – and getting them for free saves you potentially hundreds of dollars per year. It’s an excellent bonus for anyone serious about their WordPress site’s performance and design.

Easy WordPress Management

Thamara’s platform makes WordPress easy even for beginners. You have one-click WordPress installation (so no fiddling with databases or files manually) and a user-friendly Plesk control panel to manage everything from updates to backups. In fact, automatic updates for WordPress core, themes, and plugins can be enabled to keep your site secure without manual effort.

There’s also a staging environment on all WordPress plans – this means you can create a test copy of your site to try out changes or new plugins safely before pushing them to your live site, a very handy feature for developers and cautious updaters.

In terms of plan tiers and pricing, here’s how the WordPress Hosting plans mirror the earlier ones:

Startup WordPress

Allows 25 WordPress sites, 25 GB storage, ~50k visits, etc., just like the standard Startup. It’s great for a single blog or a handful of small sites. The cost is a bit higher than standard hosting because of the added WP optimizations – it starts at $2.49/mo on a discounted annual term (renews at $6.99/mo) or $249 one-time for lifetime.

If you’re primarily a WordPress user, it could be worth the slightly higher price to get the caching and plugin bundle benefits.

Grow WordPress

Supports 50 sites, 50 GB storage, ~250k visits, which is suitable for growing blogs, a small agency, or an online magazine with multiple authors. It includes daily backups, a CDN, and all the WP enhancements mentioned.

Pricing is roughly $3.49/mo on initial offer (renews at $9.99/mo) or a $299 one-time lifetime fee. This plan hits a sweet spot for many serious WordPress users – it balances cost and capacity, and you get the full set of premium plugins (at Grow level they even add a premium site builder plugin in the bundle). If you maintain several WordPress sites or need extra storage for lots of media, Grow is a smart choice.

Scale WordPress

Offers unlimited WordPress sites, 100 GB storage, ~350k visits, plus the highest performance allocation. With this plan, you also get a dedicated IP and priority support, just as in the standard Scale plan. It’s made for power users: large e-commerce sites, high-traffic blogs, or developers hosting many client sites in one account.

The lifetime price is $399 (one-time) and roughly equates to what you’d otherwise pay in a few years of regular hosting. If you’re an agency or you’re running a mission-critical WordPress site that demands top performance, the Scale plan ensures you have maximum resources and the full toolkit. The inclusion of an Expert Marketing Consultation at this tier (a one-on-one session to improve your site’s marketing) is a unique bonus as well.

Thamara Cloud’s WooCommerce Hosting is designed for e-commerce users. WooCommerce, built on WordPress, powers most online stores—and these plans are essentially optimized WordPress hosting with extra focus on store speed and reliability.

WooCommerce comes pre-installed, so you can launch your store quickly. These plans include Turbo Product Caching for faster product and category pages, along with object caching, LiteSpeed servers, and other tweaks to handle large catalogs, heavy traffic, and image-rich pages. The setup ensures your store stays fast and stable as it grows.

The three WooCommerce plans—Startup (25 sites/25 GB), Grow (50 sites/50 GB), and Scale (unlimited/100 GB)—match the WordPress plan limits. Each includes free premium WooCommerce plugins, Bricks Builder for custom layouts, and MetForm for advanced forms. Daily backups, firewalls, and Imunify360 protection secure transactions and customer data, while the 99.9% uptime guarantee keeps your store online.

Pricing is identical to the WordPress plans: Startup at $249 lifetime (or $2.49–$2.99/month with discounts), Grow at $299, and Scale at $399. There’s no premium added just for e-commerce, making these lifetime plans a strong investment for serious store owners. A 30-day money-back guarantee ensures a risk-free trial.

These plans suit anyone building or migrating an online store on WordPress. They’re ideal for entrepreneurs and small businesses expecting traffic growth or large product catalogs. The performance boosts help product pages load instantly—leading to better conversions—and the included plugin bundle gives your store a professional edge from day one.
