Detailed Review of ADK Media Web Host
Test method — Score 7.2/10 on our 2026 criteria: performance (load times for a Moroccan audience), uptime, support, MAD billing, and domain management. Shared hosting observed from about 296 MAD excl. tax/year (often on −40% promo). Method details: About.
ADK Media is a historic web host based in Casablanca. Operations started around 2001; the ADK MEDIA name consolidated around 2006. ANRT-certified provider (ANRT/SVA/016275), the company also earned the e-thiq@ (2016) label.
Positioning: a mature tech stack (CloudLinux + cPanel, Imunify360, JetBackup, SSD), 20+ years of experience, and a range that clearly separates classic shared hosting (often Europe datacenter) from a Morocco hosting line for sovereignty / Law 09-08.
In practice, our test finds a solid offer (domain + SSL + migration often free, TrustScore shown around 4.6), but load times weaker than Hostino, and “Morocco” packs clearly more expensive than the Europe entry tier.
Bottom line: ADK Media earns its 2nd place — a credible, experienced player, just behind Hostino on the perf / price / local support balance.
Who is ADK Media?
ADK Media is a Moroccan web hosting, domain and related-services company based in Casablanca. Site: adk-media.com.
Beyond shared hosting, ADK also offers managed WordPress, Cloud VPS, a Morocco-localized hosting offer, and security / backup options (Imunify360, JetBackup).
Summary of our ADK Media® Review
The shared entry around 296 MAD excl. tax/year (frequent promo) remains competitive for real cPanel + SSD + SSL, often with domain and migration included.
The differentiator vs low-cost: longevity, the CloudLinux / Imunify360 / JetBackup stack, and the option to switch to Morocco infrastructure (more expensive) for local latency and compliance.
Vs Hostino, ADK mainly loses on measured speed and the simplicity of the “.ma + NVMe + 24/7 support” package; it remains #2 in our panel nonetheless.

ADK Media® hosting plans
Classic shared — entry observed from ~296 MAD excl. tax/year (often −40% on promo): SSD, cPanel, SSL, domain often free.
Hosting in Morocco — from ~975 MAD excl. tax/year or ~81 MAD excl. tax/month: data localized in Morocco.
WordPress — around ~87 MAD excl. tax/month.
Cloud VPS — from ~159 MAD excl. tax/month.
Most entry shared packs run in a Europe datacenter; the Morocco line is a distinct, more expensive product.
Control panel
ADK Media uses cPanel on CloudLinux — the standard for managing files, email, MySQL databases, DNS, SSL and JetBackup backups.
The UI is familiar for freelancers and agencies; the Imunify360 ecosystem strengthens server-side security.
.ma domain names
ADK Media sells .ma and international TLDs. On many packs, the domain is free (often the 1st year) — a real plus vs Cap Connect or Heberfacile.
For the ANRT journey (documents, pendingCreate, ServerHold, disputes), see also our .ma domain guide.
SSL certificates
Most packs include a free SSL (HTTPS) — enough for brochure sites, blogs and standard shops.
No need to buy a paid SSL to start on the current observed offer.
Email accounts
Email mailboxes are included with hosting (count and quotas depend on the pack), managed via cPanel — anti-spam and webmail included.
Useful for a micro/SME that wants @domain addresses without signing up for Google Workspace from day one.
Pricing observed (August 2026)
Entry shared: ~296 MAD excl. tax/year (often on −40% promo).
Hosting in Morocco: ~975 MAD excl. tax/year or ~81 MAD excl. tax/month.
WordPress: ~87 MAD excl. tax/month; Cloud VPS: from ~159 MAD excl. tax/month.
Billed in MAD; always check excl./incl. tax pricing and the “Europe vs Morocco” options at checkout.
ADK Media® Review Conclusion
ADK Media delivers on the essentials: longevity, a mature cPanel/CloudLinux stack, SSL and domain often free, and a real Morocco hosting option for sovereignty.
Our load-time measurements stay behind Hostino, and phone support has historically been limited on the cheapest pack.
That is why it keeps the 7.2/10 score and 2nd place in our 2026 comparison — behind Hostino, ahead of Clouder.
