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
CloudSigma’s cloud hosting can be purchased by subscription or by burst; the former for stable usage and the latter for temporary usage exceeding the subscription level. Usage of resources (CPU, RAM, etc.) is checked every five minutes, and the customer is billed accordingly, with any excess usage billed 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 here.
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.
