Nettihotelli.fi is a growing Finnish web hosting company that offers high-quality products at affordable prices. The company was founded in 2000 and now hosts more than 7,000 websites for a customer base of about 7,000. Debt-free and financially stable, Nettihotelli.fi is fully owned by Euronic Oy. All servers are housed in the parent company’s eco-friendly data center in Turku, Finland. Nettihotelli.fi’s website is available in Finnish only.
Features and Ease of Use
Nettihotelli.fi’s hosting solutions are limited to shared hosting, so right away you know that this web host is mainly for smaller websites. That said, you do have all the basics with this company: it provides domain registration services, SSL certificates, and several add-ons. Its shared hosting packages also come with several handy features you can take advantage of, such as:
- 99% uptime guarantee
- Plesk control panel
- Auto-installer
- SSL support (though certificates must be purchased separately)
- SSH access
- Remote MySQL connections
- Cron jobs
- PHP 5.5 – 7.2
- SSD storage
Nettihotelli.fi offers six shared hosting packages for Windows and Linux, with SSD storage between 300 MB to 10 GB and monthly traffic between 5 GB to 100 GB. Even though you don’t get a ton of storage here, it’s sufficient for personal websites and small businesses.
There’s one huge caveat with the plans, however. The two lowest-tier plans don’t include any MySQL databases, which means if you want to install a CMS like WordPress, you won’t be able to unless you go for a higher-tier package. You’ll be able to put up a static website, but that’s it. At least you’ll still have access to the 150+ applications its auto-installer supports, however.
Support for Webmail, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP is also available. You can also get SSL certificates, DNS management, SCP and SSH access upon request.
I was also told by one of the company’s support agents that Nettihotelli.fi offers VPS hosting services through its sister company Super Cloud, also owned by Euronic Oy.
Pricing and Support
All six web hosting packages are very similar. They mainly differ in storage capacity, add-ons, and few other features such as MySQL databases and PostgreSQL 9.1. The price range is quite affordable in comparison to other hosting providers in the market. Nettihotelli.fi also provides a risk-free 14-day money-back guarantee and throws in a free .info domain with any of its web hosting packages.
Nettihotelli.fi receives top scores for customer support, even though they don’t offer live chat. Based on my personal experience, their email support is highly responsive during business hours. If you prefer direct contact, you can reach them by phone or through a support ticket. Additionally, their website is packed with information about their services, including tutorials and instructions for various configurations, as well as a comprehensive FAQ section. Nettihotelli.fi also offers remote assistance via Teamviewer.
