PlanetHoster Hosting Plans
PlanetHoster is a French web hosting provider operating since 2007 with infrastructure across three datacenters in France, Switzerland, and Canada. They host over 500,000 sites and report 96.8% customer satisfaction. The company offers three hosting tiers—shared (Projet Web Standard from €5.49/month promotional), semi-dedicated (Projet Web Ultra from €5.49/month promotional), and managed dedicated servers (HybridCloud)—each with identical core inclusions: free domain registration, free SSL, unlimited professional emails, and free migration. Performance features include LiteSpeed Enterprise servers, NVMe SSD storage with triple redundancy, integrated CDN, and Auto Peak Power (automatic 2.5x CPU/RAM scaling during traffic spikes). Security is layered with WAF, anti-DDoS hardware protection, 45-day externalized backups, and 24/7 monitoring. The platform supports WordPress, PHP, Node.js, Python, and Ruby, with development-focused features like Redis/Memcached and unlimited databases.
