Matbao hosting: Mắt Bão hosting types, how to choose and manage them

Matbao hosting is how many people refer to the hosting services of Mắt Bão (matbao.net), a Vietnamese domain, hosting and server provider operating since 2002. To choose well, decide whether your site runs WordPress or something else and whether you need a Linux or Windows server, then compare that with the matching product group on the vendor's site.

Which hosting types does Mắt Bão offer?

According to the matbao.net home page and third-party reviews, the vendor groups its services into a few main categories. The catalogue changes over time, so confirm it on the vendor's site before deciding.

Prices depend on the billing period and current offers, so see the vendor's pricing page rather than relying on an older article.

How to find the vendor's official page

Searches such as "mắt bão tên miền", "matbao domain" and "matbao hosting" all point to the same provider. A few tips to avoid the wrong site:

1. Type matbao.net directly or pick the result on that domain, rather than clicking third-party ads.
2. On the home page, look for the Hosting group for cloud and WordPress hosting, and the Domain group to search and register domain names.
3. The home page says customers manage services at manage.matbao.net. Some Vietnamese guides on news and blog sites instead mention id.matbao.net as the vendor's service management platform. Since both addresses appear, enter through the sign-in link on the official site rather than bookmarking an old address.
4. Never enter your password on a look-alike page. The address must be on matbao.net.

Choosing a hosting type for your website

A brochure site with little traffic

Linux cloud hosting is usually enough. Check which PHP versions are supported, how many sites one plan allows, storage, whether backups are automatic, and whether an SSL certificate is included. A WebsitePlanet review says the vendor includes free SSL and a 30-day money-back guarantee, but it is a third-party review that may be out of date, so re-read the policy on the vendor's site.

A WordPress site

If the site is WordPress, look at WordPress hosting first because it ships with WordPress-specific admin tools. Compare it with regular cloud hosting on caching, update tools and server location. If your customers are mostly in Vietnam, a Vietnam server location is worth considering.

Software that runs on a server

Some businesses need a server to run accounting software or an internal app. Shared hosting is usually not suitable then; look at cloud servers and ask the sales team about the operating system and supported software versions.

Email on your own domain

Hosting often includes email, but many companies keep it separate. For reliable team email you can use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 Business on your own domain and point the DNS records as the provider instructs. That way email does not depend on the hosting plan.

Steps to sign up and manage the service

1. Search for a domain on the vendor's site. If you do not have one, register it before or together with the hosting.
2. Pick a hosting type and billing period, and read the backup, refund and renewal terms on the vendor's site.
3. Create the account with a company email you control, not an employee's personal address, so you do not lose management access later.
4. Sign in to the vendor's service management page to see your domains, hosting and renewals.
5. Open the hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk or another, depending on the plan) to create mailboxes, databases or install WordPress with the built-in installer.
6. Point the domain to the hosting using the DNS details in the activation email.
7. Enable SSL, check that the site loads over https, and set a reminder before the expiry date.

Exact menu and button names may differ by plan and over time, so follow the actual screens on the vendor's site.

Support and points to weigh

The Mắt Bão home page says the vendor offers round-the-clock technical support. The WebsitePlanet review describes two support tiers (free with longer response times, and paid) and notes that self-help documentation is limited and that the many plan options can confuse beginners. That is one review site's view and may no longer hold, so ask the vendor directly about the support scope of the plan you plan to buy.

Comparing with other providers

People searching for matbao hosting often also compare AZDIGI, iNET and others. Compare them on the same criteria: server type, location, backups, SSL, refund policy, support channels and renewal terms. Besides Vietnamese providers, readers who want hosting, VPS and domains in one place with a Vietnamese-language interface can also look at Hostinger, whose site says it offers web hosting, VPS, domains, a website builder and 24/7 support. The link above is a partner link: Dùng Gì may earn a commission if you sign up or buy through it. It is one option to compare, not a claim that any provider is the best.
