To compare the best web hosts, we hosted the same WordPress website on each one and tested performance, customer service, and value for money. Check out the results here.
Veeble has been “weaving the web” (that’s their tagline) since 2009, and in that time has built up quite an impressive customer base with more than 10,000 customers in 150 countries. According to its website, Veeble is “one of the fastest growing web hosting and domain providers” that powers more than 25,000 websites. Their own website is available in English.
Features and Ease of Use
Veeble is a full service hosting company offering a wide range of services. Their shared hosting plans, in particular, come with the following core features:
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- Weekly remote backups
- Domain registration available at extra cost
- Up to twenty-five domains
- SSL certificates available at additional cost
- From 5GB to 500GB disk space
- From 50GB to 10,000GB bandwidth
Veeble does not resell other companies’ resources. They own and co-locate in hundreds of Tier IV data centers in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and the Netherlands. This is good for a couple of reasons:
- First, owning their own data centers generally means quicker response times to issues, and less risk of overselling resources.
- Second, their use of only Tier IV data centers means they should suffer less than 26 minutes of downtime per year.
In terms of packages, Veeble sells a lot of plans including Linux plans (cPanel hosting, reseller hosting, WordPress hosting, CMS hosting), Windows plans (regular Plesk hosting, reseller Plesk hosting), Linux and Windows virtual private servers, and dedicated servers (bare metal and fully managed).
Let’s focus on the Linux shared hosting plans since these are most commonly used by beginners. I would argue that their Regular Linux plan is anything but regular. It’s a fully customizable base package that you can build to suit your business needs. You can select from the following optional configurations:
- U.S. or Netherlands servers
- From 5GB to 500GB disk space
- From 50GB to 10,000GB bandwidth
- Between one and twenty-five domains
- Dedicated IP
- Premium mail relay
All plans come with unlimited email accounts, FTP accounts, MySQL accounts, and subdomains. Beginners get a one-click installer with almost 350 programs, and experts will be pleased to see a PHP selector (for versions 5 through 7.2) plus support for Perl, Python, GD, cURL, and Ruby on Rails.
The Linux plans use the popular and easy-to-use cPanel control panel, LiteSpeed web servers (which are up to nine times faster than other server solutions), and solid state drives (for disk read/write times up to ten times faster than traditional hard disk drives).
Pricing and Support
Prices are a little higher than local and international competitors. However, their packages do come with premium inclusions and configurable resource quotas, so the slightly premium prices may well be worth it. Unfortunately, domain registration and SSL certificates both cost extra.
You can buy Veeble’s hosting services for durations of one, three, six, and twelve months, and the price is significantly reduced when you choose a longer-term plan upfront. Additionally, they provide a 14-day money-back guarantee, making it a risk-free option. Overall, these payment terms offer great flexibility to accommodate your needs.
The 24/7 customer service is equally impressive, and can be accessed by email, live chat, telephone, and ticket. They also have a fairly substantial knowledge base as well as a client zone that requires you to log in. I’ve contacted a friendly, helpful operator several times by live chat.
