Yes. Our Gulf and Horizon plans support modern web applications built with Node.js and React, in addition to WordPress. Most local hosting providers only handle WordPress. If your business has outgrown a basic WordPress site or you have a custom web application, we can host it.
Gulf and Horizon plans include a built-in newsletter tool. You can manage one subscriber list with up to 500 contacts and send email newsletters directly from your own domain. It is ideal for keeping your customers updated with news, promotions, or announcements without paying for a separate email marketing service.
