About Hostnet
Hostnet B.V. was founded in 1999 and is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It operates as a local brand within group.one following the combination with one.com in 2020. Hostnet is known for domain registration and web hosting, alongside website, email and online-business services.
What Hostnet offers
- Shared web hosting: The Webhosting Lite, Core, Boost and Power plans provide space for websites and related services, with features such as email, databases, backups and SSL. They suit personal sites and business websites that do not need a separate virtual server.
- WordPress hosting: Hostnet sells standard WordPress plans, with one-click installation, daily backups and free migration listed in our comparison. These plans are not described as managed WordPress hosting.
- Managed WordPress: WP.one plans include managed WordPress features such as automatic updates, daily backups and WordPress caching. They are intended for customers who want less server and maintenance work to handle themselves.
- VPS hosting: Configurable virtual servers offer root access and a choice of operating systems. These are self-managed in the plans listed in our comparison, so they suit users comfortable administering a server.
- Managed hosting and services: Hostnet also provides managed VPS and tailored hosting and server-management services for customers who want help looking after their environment.
- Domains and related services: Domain registration, transfers, management and forwarding are available, as are email and mailbox services, Microsoft 365 and SSL certificates.
- Website tools and design: A Website Builder, including a webshop option, and custom website design and development services cover customers who want help creating a site.
Servers and support
Hostnet describes its VPS service as running in a high-end datacenter and its managed hosting as hosted in certified datacenters. The facility and server location for the listed plans are not confirmed. Hostnet lists chat, telephone, email and WhatsApp as support channels. Its contact page gives weekday hours for chat and telephone and says it aims to respond to email within 24 hours, including weekends.
Who Hostnet suits
Hostnet is worth considering if you want hosting, a domain and related website services from one provider, or need a choice between standard and managed WordPress. Look elsewhere if you need a confirmed server location, or if you want a self-managed VPS with backups included in the listed plan.
