📄 Editorial Review

50Webs is a long-running budget hosting brand operated by LiquidNet Ltd., a UK-based hosting group with roots going back to 2003. The 50Webs platform has been active since November 2004 and targets individuals, small projects and budget-conscious businesses that want straightforward shared hosting rather than a complex cloud stack. Behind the brand stands a wider group organization with roughly sixty staff in total and more than forty-five technicians focused on 24/7 operations, so it feels like a proper service provider rather than a small hobby host.

The core product line centres on shared hosting, starting with a genuinely usable Free plan and moving through five paid tiers: Mini, Starter, Personal, Webmaster and Advanced. All packages run on a clustered Linux platform based on Debian, where data is spread across multiple machines instead of a single server. That environment uses NVMe-backed storage, ZFS, SSD caching and built-in website accelerators on the paid plans, so even the cheaper tiers benefit from modern hardware and a multi-server design that aims to keep performance consistent.

The Free plan is aimed at personal pages and small test sites. It includes 500 MB of disk space, 5 GB monthly traffic, support for up to 10 hosted domains and 100 e-mail accounts, all without forced banners or adverts, plus access to round-the-clock support. This makes it a practical option for experimenting with websites or hosting a small personal presence. Some elements, like SMTP for outgoing mail, remain reserved for paid plans to protect the platform from abuse.

The paid tiers Mini and Starter increase quotas gradually (up to 5 GB space and 50 GB traffic on Starter) while still allowing 10 hosted domains and 100 e-mail accounts. These plans already include the important features: SMTP e-mail sending, configurable anti-spam filtering, an integrated online website builder, a one-click application installer for blogs, galleries and forums, plus daily data backups and usage statistics. For a typical small business or personal site, Starter often covers multiple domains and full e-mail functionality at a very low monthly price.

Higher up, Personal, Webmaster and Advanced target users who maintain multiple or heavier sites. Personal introduces unlimited disk space and monthly traffic, increases allowances to 20 hosted domains and 200 mailboxes, and unlocks a broader toolkit such as URL redirection, IP blocking, hotlink protection and cron jobs. Webmaster removes the cap on hosted domains, increases the e-mail limit to 500 accounts and throws in a free domain name, together with developer-friendly extras like Zend Optimizer, IonCube, ImageMagick, GD Library, Perl modules and Python support. Advanced is aimed at growing portfolios, keeping unlimited hosted domains but raising the mailbox limit to 1,000 and including a free domain name for as long as the plan is active. All paid plans are ad-free and include 24/7 support, browsable daily backups, optional dedicated IP addresses, 5 GB of VPN traffic and one-click script installation.

Alongside hosting, 50Webs also acts as a domain provider, offering more than 60 generic, country-code and new-generation TLDs. A dedicated Domain Manager allows registration, transfer and renewal, as well as DNS management (including name servers and various record types), WHOIS updates, EPP code retrieval and WHOIS privacy protection where supported. Users who prefer to keep everything centralised can manage both their domains and hosting from the same interface. Some higher-end hosting plans, such as Webmaster and Advanced, bundle a free domain while the hosting remains active, which helps reduce long-term costs for key projects.

In addition, there is a free reseller hosting program on ResellersPanel.com tied into the same group. Through an integrated platform, customers can start their own hosting business with no initial deposit and without needing deep technical expertise. A Reseller Control Panel handles storefront creation, pricing, client management and billing, supported by video tutorials and articles for newcomers. On the infrastructure side, the reseller cloud environment uses the Hepsia control panel and offers data centre locations in Chicago (USA), Coventry (UK), Pori (Finland), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Sydney (Australia). This makes 50Webs not only a home for end-user sites but also a launching pad for freelancers and small agencies who want to resell hosting.

Overall, 50Webs focuses firmly on low-cost shared hosting, a realistic free tier, integrated domain services and a simple route into reselling, built on an in-house platform instead of the standard cPanel/Plesk stack. The portfolio does not revolve around VPS or dedicated servers under the 50Webs name; the emphasis stays on shared environments and bundled services rather than heavy-duty custom infrastructure.
