AXN Data Oy is a Finnish web hosting service provider that traces its roots back to 2002 when “AXN Data” was registered as an auxiliary company name for Kauppahuone Meritie Oy. Griffin-Goodwest acquired the name in 2016 and transformed it into the present AXN Data Oy in 2018.
Today, AXN Data’s Finnish-language website sells traditional web hosting and CMS hosting plans along with domain services, SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and SMS gateway systems.
Features and Ease of Use
AXN Data Oy offers four traditional shared hosting plans, three CMS web hosting plans, four cloud-based e-commerce packages, and two hosting plans for nonprofits. While the website mentions RVSiteBuilder and SitePad website building plans, only the former is available in the store.
The four traditional shared hosting plans provide:
- 2 to 30 hosted domains
- 2 GB to 10 GB disk space
- Unlimited bandwidth
- 5 to unlimited email accounts
- 1 to 10 MySQL/MariaDB databases
- Free SSL
- Daily server backups to two different locations
Gzip compression reduces the size of your web files for improved performance, and the Cloudflare CDN provides an extra performance boost by caching content close to your website visitors.
With the Softaculous installer, you can effortlessly install popular CMS and other software, even if you lack technical expertise. If you intend to establish a more comprehensive e-commerce store, you have the option to select one of three e-commerce packages, allowing you to personalize the appearance and ambience of your store. These e-commerce packages seamlessly integrate with over 50 payment agents, and you can further expand the integration using an API.
Other services, sold separately, include DDoS protection, mail-scanning, and bulk SMS.
Pricing and Support
AXN Data’s shared hosting plans are priced competitively. You can pay for them in U.S. dollars or euros on annual to triennial terms via online banking, credit/debit card, invoice, or (soon) Trustly. The 14-day money-back guarantee gives you two weeks to decide if this is the right host for you.
Contact the customer support team by live chat, telephone, ticket, or email. Although the live chat channel was unavailable when I wanted to try it, I received a reply to my pre-sales support ticket after five days:
For self-support, AXN Data has an adequately populated knowledge base.
