😁 My need was to buy and manage some domains for both professional and personal use, and after a significant amount of research I settled on Hostpoint. The deciding factors were that it must be based in Switzerland, must have a good control panel (primarily for DNS), the control panel must have an English option (my German, French, and Italian are all pretty bad), must have private registrations, and should have reasonable prices.

Hostpoint hit all of those nicely. There are cheaper Swiss-based registrars, but Hostpoint was about average price-wise. Their control panel for managing domains is at worst decent, and in quite a few places good.

In very short order I was able to set up an account, purchase a handful of domains, and get them configured without any assistance from a human being at Hostpoint. The interface was perfectly clear and usable.

My experience with Hostpoint was very good, no problems at all, and overall positive.

😞 terrible customer support
good price/technical specs. relationship....

> terrible control panel ( it is very limited, any issue you will need > to contact their client support which will respond you after 1-2 days)
> Impossible to work with Client Support.... they will need an improvement on this side... very long waiting times.. and taking into account that not all issues could be resolved in one reply it could take a really long time in order to do something....

📄 Editorial Review

🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration ICANN registrar
⇔ Redirected domains: ispace.ch deushosting.ch

Founded in 2003, Hostpoint is an industry-leading hosting provider in Switzerland claiming that they are currently hosting over 800,000 domains.

The company specializes in the following web hosting solutions:
  • Shared Hosting;
  • Managed Hosting;
  • SSL Certificates;
  • Domain Registration;
  • Website Builder;

Shared hosting packages are configured on SSD drives and support Nginx, Apache, Node.js, Redis or Java, as well as popular CMSs (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal). They include all industry-standard features, such as mailboxes, domains, MariaDB databases, but these do not come in unlimited amounts.

Managed servers include support for script languages including for PHP (multiple versions). Server connection varies between 250 Mbit/s and 2000 Mbit/s depending on the plan you choose.

Customers benefit from a number of days that allow data recovery (between 30 and 180 depending on the plan you choose). This might not be so great for some types of businesses that includes long-term databases where customers need to go back a long way. Except for the entry-level plan, you will find custom control of in-house apps.

💰 Price & Cost


Their products are fairly calculated and come at affordable prices. They are a risk-free company as they provide a 30-day money-back guarantee.

⌛ Reliability


There is no specification of any uptime guarantee.

🏢 Data Center

✍️ Customer Support

🎯 Conclusion

😠 Hostpoint is sucks!
This hosting is the worst ever I have been. Since I moved my sites there I have been experiencing problems, one after another. Few months ago they decided to update to php 5.3, althought some of my sites support php v 5.3, they didnt work anymore after this upgrade. Search on internet before you plan on using hostpoint...there are bad review of them everywere!
