📄 Editorial Review

Founded in 2000, Host Color is a web hosting provider specializing on IT infrastructure and managed web hosting services. They claim that their name stands for their values, as they are supporters of open markets and free trade. They started as a small business that kept on perfecting their services and performance on the market.

They specialize in the following web hosting products:
  • Shared Hosting;
  • VPS Hosting;
  • Virtual Dedicated Servers;
  • Dedicated Servers;
  • Colocation;
  • Cloud Hosting;

Shared hosting packages are either managed or self-managed depending on preferences. The managed web hosting plans are suitable for WordPress hosting accounts or any Open Source CMS hosting that is LAMP based. Customers benefit from SSD storage and they will find included:
  • Dedicated IP address;
  • SEO service;
  • SSL certificate;
  • Softaculous;
  • SSH access;

One potential unsatisfying element is the fact that some features (i.e. MySQL databases, email accounts) are not available in unlimited amount whereas other hosting companies may provide them in unlimited amounts.

VPS servers are diversified as customers have the possibility to choose from SATA-based virtual private servers or VPS plans configured on SSD drives. VPS plans configured on SATA drives are available on both Linux and Windows and they are powered by Storage Area Network. These also run on RAID 10. SSD VPS are powered by Intel and Samsung enterprise SSD. Both SATA and SSD VPS are configured on OpenVZ or KVM virtualization.

Virtual dedicated servers are fully redundant and run on both Linux and Windows. They include root access, cloud storage and 100 Mbps speed port. Dedicated servers are equipped with IPMI 2.o and offer 1 GibE port.

Cloud servers are divided on several categories: Public Cloud; Private Cloud; Office Cloud or Hybrid Cloud. All cloud servers are configured on VMware platform. These are also HA cloud servers (High Availability) and they are protected against outages through the automated fault-tolerance system.

I have been using host color for a personal site for years (maybe 12+ years for galleries, email, etc) and they always provide great customer support. I also have not been affected by downtime for upgrades or other technical issues.
