Magic4Hosting is the web hosting brand of Portuguese company Magic Brain, which was established in the year 2000. As well as supporting and participating in the development of open source projects, this company also sells a range of hosting services.
This Portuguese provider’s website is available in English and Portuguese.
Features and Ease of Use
Magic4Hosting offers VPS, dedicated server, cloud server, cloud storage, and shared hosting solutions. Some of the features you can expect to find are:
- Windows or Linux operating system
- Daily automatic backups
- Up to unlimited add-on domains
- Free SSL certificates
- Up to 20 GB disk space
- Up to 2000 GB monthly bandwidth
Magic4Hosting has servers located in seven different places worldwide, including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dallas, Los Angeles, and São Paulo. It is unclear from their website whether Magic4Hosting owns its own data centers, and I couldn’t get confirmation from customer support.
Hosting is managed using the Virtualmin “powerful and flexible web hosting control panel for Linux and BSD systems,” but you can use cPanel or Plesk instead if you prefer. The choice of operating systems includes CentOS/Ubuntu Linux or Windows. Considering this is a budget host, there is a surprising level of support for Python and Perl programming languages, MySQL databases, FTP access, and Cron jobs.
Pricing and Support
Magic4Hosting’s hosting plan prices are affordable, whether you opt for the smallest “S” plan (with 5 GB of disk space and 200 GB traffic) or the largest “XL” plan (with 2000 GB of traffic). The price increases as you go from Linux without cPanel to Linux with cPanel to Windows, but prices remain in line with European and international providers.
You can contact this company via Skype, email, or telephone, during working hours for sales queries and at all other times for support queries. If you prefer to try supporting yourself, you can take advantage of the F.A.Q. page and the knowledge base:
