📄 Editorial Review

Altumhost is a 2025 "satellite" brand of Smarthost Sp. z o.o. (smarthost.pl), created as the next stage in a long-running evolution that began in 2001, launched Smarthost.eu in 2016, and now operates globally under the Altumhost name. They serve customers in 75 countries, localize the site (English plus German), and route several country TLDs (DE/AT/IT/US/UK) to regionalized versions.

A central differentiator is infrastructure control: they operate their own European data center (Poland) with redundant uplinks, IX connectivity, and a global anycast DNS footprint. The stack is decidedly cPanel-centric—Altumhost is an official, authorized cPanel partner, ranked #11 worldwide and #2 in Europe among specialist teams, with dozens of cPanel University certificates. They are also an official EURid (.EU) registrar, listing 11,000+ domains under management and 9,000+ customers.

Security, privacy, and compliance are prominent: GDPR alignment, data stored under EU law, daily backups with self-restore, an anti-exploit scanner that inspects uploaded files on the fly, and options like 2FA on accounts. Support is 24/7/365 with real engineers (explicitly "no chatbot"), answering live chat within seconds; phone and email are also available.
