WEDOS Webhosting

Webhosting is a service intended for moderately advanced users who want to set up a website on the web using their own code or a content management system (e.g. WordPress).

We offer Webhosting in 3 different plans:

  • NoLimit: The NoLimit plan is our basic web hosting designed for modern web applications and content management systems. It offers high performance and unlimited storage for website files.
  • NoLimit Extra: This plan is intended for demanding users. You have high performance and additional space for databases and emails. In addition, we back up your data daily, and you can restore them for free.
  • LowCost: The LowCost plan is intended for experienced users who know how to optimize their sites well and want to minimize the costs of website operation. It has the lowest performance, 1GB of database space, and other limitations.

The basic NoLimit plan includes the following basic features:

  • App installer: You can install popular content management systems and applications (e.g. WordPress) easily and quickly using the automatic installer.
  • HTTPS: You can secure your connection to each website with encryption.
  • FTP(S): If you want to upload your own data to the web hosting, you connect via an encrypted variant of this protocol.
  • Email: You get an unlimited number of email boxes with each Webhosting. You can find more information in the article Emails in a Nutshell.

For additional options, enable paid add-ons. You can find more information on the Webhosting product page, or in the article Webhosting – Add-ons.

Webhosting Alternatives

If the Webhosting service does not offer what you are looking for, we also offer a wide selection of alternatives:

  • WebSite: Do you want to quickly and easily create your own modern web presentation? That’s what Website is for: choose from dozens of templates and hundreds of blocks. Use the simple graphical user interface to adjust everything to your own image. You can try the service in the free version, and switch to the paid version if you want more features.
  • WMS (Webhosting Managed Server): This service is basically a virtual server with Webhosting administration and custom system resource configuration. You can use it, for example, to host very demanding applications or a larger number of separate web hostings.
  • VPS (Virtual Private Server) or Dedicated server: If you want to set up hosting completely according to your own ideas, including the operating system used, you can choose one of the VPS variants or a dedicated server. We recommend the servers mainly to advanced users.
  • Mailhosting: If you host a website with another provider, or if you don’t have one, but want to have email services with us, use our new Mailhosting service.
