CloudSigma was founded in Switzerland in 2009, and it has approximately 50 employees. It offers cloud servers and VPS hosting from data centers across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. Customers can install Windows, Linux, or any other operating system they choose.

CloudSigma’s website can be switched between the English, German, Japanese, Spanish, Polish, and Bulgarian languages.

Features and Ease of Use

CloudSigma offers fully customizable cloud hosting solutions, so customers can choose what resources they use. You can configure the CPU speed, RAM, SSD storage, data transfer, and number of IPs.

There are some preconfigured cloud hosting examples. With the Small-2 example, you would get 1 CPU core, 1 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD storage, 5 TB of monthly data transfer, and unlimited IOPS. With the Medium-1 example, you would get two CPU cores, 2 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD storage, and 5 TB of monthly data transfer.

CloudSigma’s cloud hosting features:

24/7 customer support
SSD storage
100% uptime guarantee SLA
7-day free trial
ISO 27001 certified public cloud
13 cloud server locations

CloudSigma is ISO 27001 certified, which means it has achieved an international standard for security, data privacy, and information governance. All aspects of its cloud hosting conform to this certification standard.

The company also provides a 100% server uptime SLA that gives you time credits for any downtime over 15 minutes. For example, if your website is down for 15 minutes, you’ll receive 50 times that length (i.e., 12.5 hours) in free credit.

Pricing and Support

You can purchase CloudSigma’s cloud hosting through a subscription or on a burst basis. The subscription option is suitable for stable usage, while the burst option is ideal for temporary usage that exceeds the subscription level. We monitor resource usage (CPU, RAM, etc.) every five minutes, and you will be billed accordingly. If there is any excess usage, it will be charged at the burst rate.

You can subscribe on a monthly, yearly (10% discount), or triennial (25% discount) basis.

24/7 customer service can be accessed via live chat or email ticketing. I received an immediate, helpful response when I reached out via live chat.

How much does CloudSigma cost?

CloudSigma offers plans from $10 to $540. The price depends on which type of hosting plan you choose. You can see the updated pricing table (updated weekly) below.

Which CloudSigma plan should I get?

My recommendation is to start with a cheaper plan. You can always upgrade later on. CloudSigma can help you with the migration to a more expensive plan. The increase in visitors many times takes longer than expected and you shouldn’t pay a lot of money until the need arises. Of course, your needs may vary, and you can consult with a hosting expert from CloudSigma.

How good is CloudSigma’s customer support?

CloudSigma is not ranked as one of our top web hosts. But that can also be a result of CloudSigma being a small, under the radar, hosting provider. There are advantages to a small hosting company – as a customer, you are more important to them. You can also check out our comparison of the most popular web hosting services here.
