PK Hosting vs WebSouls
Every plan, price and feature side by side — including the places WebSouls is the better choice. Figures read from both companies' own pricing pages on 3 August 2026.
Cheaper to keep, not just cheaper to start
WebSouls is one of the oldest hosting companies in Pakistan, and on day one their plans give you more gigabytes and more sites than ours do. The difference shows up in year two.
Rs 6,990
our entry plan, every year
The price never steps up. What you pay in year three is what you paid in year one.
Rs 8,000 → 12,500
their entry plan, year one → renewal
Their own pricing page prints both numbers: the discount applies to the first term only.
10 GB SSD
where they beat us at entry
Double our entry storage. Ours is NVMe rather than SATA SSD, which matters more for speed than raw capacity.
All plans, priced per year
Both companies quote annually, so these are directly comparable. Renewal is the column most comparisons leave out.

Green marks whichever company genuinely wins that row. We have not hidden the rows we lose.

By our own count that is 6 rows to us and 8 to WebSouls. Which set matters more depends entirely on what you are building.
When WebSouls is the better choice
If any of these is your priority, buy from them — you will be happier, and we would rather say so now.
You want cPanel specifically
If your team already lives in cPanel and does not want to learn another panel, that is a real reason. We built our own dashboard instead, and there is no cPanel option on our plans.
You want to phone someone
WebSouls has local telephone support and walk-in offices in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. We answer on WhatsApp and tickets. For some businesses a landline matters.
You need a lot of sites or storage on one cheap plan
Their Grow plan hosts 100 sites on 100 GB for Rs 11,629 in year one. Nothing in our shared range matches that allowance — our answer would be a VPS.
You want a long trial and a free domain
They include a 7-day trial, a 100-day money-back guarantee and a free domain for the first year. We price the domain separately so the renewal stays predictable.
When we are the better choice
You plan to keep the site for more than a year
This is the whole argument. Our price does not step up at renewal, so the longer you stay the wider the gap — and you never have to negotiate or migrate to escape a price rise.
You want to pay the way you actually pay
JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank transfer or card, in rupees, with optional card auto-renew so a missed reminder never takes your site down.
You want one login, not two
Invoices, domains, tickets, files, email, databases, DNS, SSL, PHP version, cron jobs and backups are all in the same dashboard. No bouncing between a billing portal and a control panel.
You want NVMe on the cheap plan too
Every plan we sell is on NVMe. On their range, the two lowest tiers are SATA SSD.
