DPAC

What DPAC does

DPAC LLC, operating under the trade name uslowrates.com, is a private web hosting provider that sells shared hosting, semi-dedicated hosting, VPS hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, and website-building tools to individuals, hobbyists, and small-to-medium businesses. The company markets primarily on price, with entry shared plans advertised at $3.99/month (renewing at $5.99) and a Business plan at $5.94/month (renewing at $8.99), and it also runs an ad-free free hosting tier used as an acquisition funnel. Per the source material, DPAC LLC is a distribution brand whose services are actually provided by Attractsoft GmbH, a German-registered entity (HRB 7963 KI, Kiel), which also appears as the vendor name on customer card statements.

Technically, the platform runs on infrastructure collocated in the LambdaNet data center in Kiel, Germany, positioned on internet backbones connecting Europe and North America. The stack emphasizes a clustered hosting architecture, RAID data mirroring with weekly backups retained for three weeks, Apache SNI for shared-IP SSL, UPS/diesel generator backup, and 24/7 monitoring, with a guaranteed 99.9% network uptime on shared accounts and 99.8% on semi-dedicated accounts. Product differentiation centers on the Zacky Tools one-click script installer (eCommerce, CMS, forum, blog, site builder) and a no-code SITE Builder rather than proprietary technology.

The business model is subscription-recurring and product-led: customers self-serve online with instant provisioning, and revenue is generated from hosting subscriptions (monthly/annual), domain registration and renewals (resold via eNom), SSL certificates (resold via GeoTrust QuickSSL, $105.00–$124.95), domain privacy protection (via WHOIS Privacy Protection, Inc.), and freemium-to-paid upgrades. Pricing is multi-currency (USD, EUR, GBP) with VAT included, and renewal prices step up materially above signup rates. An inside sales team supports phone, live chat, and ticket-based inquiries across US, UK, and German numbers.
