SL Hosting is one of the corporate brands of Servizi Internet Srl, which has its own server farm and has been offering ASP services since 1996. Today, SL Hosting uses two data centers — in Bergamo and Brescia — with the latter having multiple fiber-optic connections to the Milan MIX to ensure high speeds and low latency.
This host’s Italian-language website sells shared hosting, reseller hosting, semi-dedicated servers, fully managed dedicated servers, domain solutions, SSL certificates, and some additional services.
Features and Ease of Use
SL Hosting offers three single-domain and three multi-domain shared hosting plans, three semi-dedicated hosting plans (for e-commerce and business websites), three reseller hosting plans, and five fully-managed dedicated servers.
The three single-domain shared hosting plans provide you with:
- One hosted domain
- DirectAdmin control panel
- 500 MB to 10 GB disk space
- 10 GB to unlimited monthly traffic
- One to unlimited subdomains, MySQL databases, and FTP accounts
- Three to unlimited email accounts
- Free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate
The site statistics provide useful insights into how your website is performing, and the included installer provides access to more than 100 CMS and other applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, and PrestaShop.
You only get thrice-weekly remote automatic backups with the highest plan, so other customers will have to conduct backups manually.
Reseller plans include lots of unlimited resources — customer accounts, traffic, MySQL databases, and email accounts — while dedicated server customers can choose the cPanel or DirectAdmin control panel. In all cases, SSD storage significantly improves performance and reliability (compared with traditional HDD storage).
Pricing and Support
SL Hosting’s shared hosting plans are cheap, and you can pay for them in euros by bank transfer or PayPal/credit card. There is no money-back guarantee, as far as I know, but you can get a free domain (or transfer) with annual billing.
Contact this company by email, ticket, or online contact form, but bear in mind that my exploratory email received no reply. For self-support, you can refer to the blog or knowledge base:
