The honest answer first
Most business websites belong on shared cPanel hosting. A VPS is not a better version of the same thing – it is a different job, with different responsibilities. Paying for one you do not need buys you work, not speed.
What shared hosting gives you
Your site sits on a managed server alongside others. We look after the server itself: updates, security and keeping it running. You look after your website. It is billed once a year.
- Bronze, EUR 100 a year – 2 GB web space, 10 mailboxes. A brochure site and a small team.
- Silver, EUR 140 a year – 5 GB, 25 mailboxes. The usual choice for a growing business.
- Gold, EUR 180 a year – 10 GB, unlimited mailboxes. Larger sites and heavier mail use.
A free SSL certificate is included on every plan, and moving an existing site and its email across costs nothing and happens without downtime.
What a VPS gives you
Guaranteed CPU, memory and storage that nobody else is using, plus full root access. It is self managed by default, which is the part people underestimate: the server is yours to patch, secure and fix.
- VPS 1, EUR 180 a year – 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD
- VPS 2, EUR 240 a year – 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD
- VPS 3, EUR 420 a year – 8 vCPU, 24 GB RAM, 300 GB SSD
- VPS 4, EUR 660 a year – 12 vCPU, 48 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD
How to tell which one you need
Shared hosting is right if you run a normal website – brochure, blog, or a shop of ordinary size – and you would rather not think about the server at all. That covers the large majority of businesses.
A VPS starts to make sense when one of these is true: you need software installed that shared hosting does not allow, you are running an application rather than a website, you have consistent heavy traffic, or you have someone technical who wants control.
Notice that “my site feels slow” is not on that list. Slow sites are usually slow because of heavy images, bloated plugins or a poorly built theme, and moving them to a bigger server changes very little. It is worth finding the actual cause before paying more.
What “99.9% uptime” actually means
Our published guarantee is 99.9%. In real terms that allows roughly nine hours a year where the site may be unreachable, between scheduled maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, internet faults and denial of service events. Anyone promising 100% is either not counting maintenance or not being straight with you.
Renewals, and what happens if you stop
Hosting is billed yearly and renews. We send a reminder 30 days before the renewal date. A renewal that is not paid on or before that date is not processed, and the service stops.
Data on a non-renewed account is deleted 30 days after expiry, and after that point neither the data nor the domain can be recovered by us. If you are moving away, take a full copy first. Refunds apply to hosting for up to 7 days after a new service or renewal begins; domains are bought from a third party registrar and are not refundable.
What to do next
The hosting and domains page lists every plan with full specifications. If you are stuck between two, tell us what the site actually does and roughly how busy it is, and we will tell you which one – including telling you the cheaper one is enough.
