Website Planet
IPHOSTER OÜ (IPhoster) is an Estonian hosting company that boasts more than 180,000 customers, nearly 90,000 domains registered, and 24 servers. Its website is available in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
Features and Ease of Use
IPhoster sells a range of hosting services, from shared hosting and domain names to dedicated servers and VPS plans. The shared hosting plans provide the following features:
- Automated backups
- Free domain registration
- Up to 20 add-on domains
- SSL certificates (available for purchase)
- Up to 15 GB SSD storage
- Unlimited monthly bandwidth
IPhoster’s plans include several performance-enhancing features you get, including super-fast SSD storage and NVMe disks. The CloudLinux operating system keeps you isolated from (and unaffected by) other hosted users.
As your hosting control panel, you can choose between the popular cPanel, DirectAdmin, and ISPmanager panels, and the Installatron installer helps you install popular CMS software such as WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, and Magento.
Pricing and Support
For the level of performance-enhancing and other features, the prices are good value-for-money. But beware that the costs can increase when you start to add the myriad add-ons such as additional storage space and a dedicated IP address. To be fair, these things would usually cost extra with other hosts.
The vendor provides 24/7 support primarily through tickets, but you can also find a set of email addresses listed on their website. They have a status page and a FAQ section, but where their support shines (if at all) is their Wiki page.
