Futureweb Hosting Plans
Futureweb is a Belgian-based shared hosting provider focused on PHP-driven websites, offering five tiers from 5 GB to 300 GB of NVMe SSD storage on enterprise-class RAID arrays. All plans include unlimited email accounts, databases, and subdomains, DirectAdmin control panel, and free Let's Encrypt SSL, with promotional pricing ranging from €0.99 to €10/month on year one. The hosting supports PHP 8.2–8.5 with per-domain version selection and daily backups with retention up to one year, making it suitable for blogs, e-commerce, and PHP frameworks like WordPress and Joomla. Notable technical features include a 30 Gb/s uplink, antibot firewall, DNSSEC signing, and geographically distributed DNS; however, the platform limits most plans to 25 domain names maximum and sets a 120-second PHP execution timeout and 384 MB memory limit. Support is email-only, with additional features like DNS management and DKIM requiring a separate request. The provider offers a large selection of domain extensions at varying prices, though there is no mention of uptime guarantees, SLA commitments, or advanced infrastructure features.
