What is web hosting?
Web hosting keeps your website's files, databases and email on a server that is reachable over the internet around the clock. With shared hosting you don't manage the server yourself; you run your site in a few clicks from the cPanel or DirectAdmin control panel.
Our web hosting servers run on AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processors and NVMe SSD storage. The LiteSpeed web server delivers your pages quickly, CloudLinux isolates every account and balances resource usage, Imunify360 protects against malware and attacks, and JetBackup gives you access to your backups from the panel.
Plans come with 1 GB, 5 GB or 10 GB of NVMe storage, and every plan includes free SSL, unlimited traffic and Python and Node.js support. cPanel and DirectAdmin plans are available in Amsterdam (Netherlands), and DirectAdmin plans in New York (USA).

What is the difference between web hosting and a VPS?
Web hosting runs on a shared server: we take care of the server's setup, security and updates, and you manage your site from the control panel. It needs no technical knowledge and is the most economical option for websites. For security reasons, SSH access is not available on web hosting plans.
On a VPS, you install and manage everything yourself, from the operating system to the software. If you need to run a game server, a bot or custom software, or you want root access, take a look at our VPS plans.
If you're unsure which to choose, ask yourself: is managing your site from a control panel enough, or do you need to install your own software on the server? For a website and email, web hosting is usually enough and more economical. As your site grows, you can move to a VPS.
cPanel or DirectAdmin?
Both panels make everyday tasks easy, such as file management, databases, email accounts, SSL and domain settings. cPanel is the most widely used hosting panel and has broad plugin and documentation support. DirectAdmin offers a simpler, lighter interface and is the more affordable option in our plans.
Storage, domain, database and email limits are the same on both panels. cPanel plans are available in Amsterdam, and DirectAdmin plans in Amsterdam and New York.
What determines web hosting pricing?
Pricing depends on storage, the number of domains you can add, database and email account limits, and the control panel. The 1 GB plan suits a single site, the 5 GB plan two domains, and the 10 GB plan projects that need five domains and unlimited databases and email accounts.
Storage is not the only difference between plans: domain, subdomain, database, email and FTP account limits also grow with each plan. If you plan to host several sites in one account, choose a plan based on the domain limit; you can move to a larger plan later.
You can pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, and if you have a valid promo code you can apply it when ordering.

Locations
Amsterdam is home to one of the largest internet exchange points in Europe and is a good choice for visitors in Turkey and Europe. Both cPanel and DirectAdmin plans are available in Amsterdam.
New York suits sites whose visitors are mostly in North America and is available with DirectAdmin plans.
When choosing a location, consider where most of your visitors are. Amsterdam offers shorter response times for visitors in Turkey and Europe, and New York for visitors in North America. The location is chosen when you order, not afterwards.
