*📜 Plan description

Top shared tier for heavy multi-site workloads: unlimited websites, 40 GB NVMe storage and unmetered bandwidth with 4 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM. A 3x performance boost layer builds on LiteSpeed Enterprise and LSCache to deliver higher concurrency. Email and MySQL are unlimited, daily backups increase to 30 restore points, and 3 free site transfers ease migration. Full security stack includes WAF, Imunify360 malware protection, brute-force shields, CloudLinux account isolation (CageFS) and two-factor authentication. The app and developer toolkit spans latest cPanel, Softaculous (300+ apps), WordPress Toolkit, SSH, Cron and PHP 5.6–8.4 selection. SSL is turnkey with Let’s Encrypt plus a free 1-year Comodo PositiveSSL. Visit guidance targets ~100,000 monthly visits.

All plans benefit from FastComet’s global footprint (US, DE, GB, SG, JP, CA, IN, AU, IT, BR), a 99.9% website uptime commitment with SLA credits and a 100% public network availability target. Accounts are provisioned instantly; support is 24/7/365 by live chat, phone and tickets, including open-source app assistance. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers hosting purchases. Pay by credit/debit card or PayPal. Added values include free website setup, free SSL installation, free domain transfer, continuous monitoring and a transparent public status page.

📄 Editorial Review

FastComet was a privately-owned, independent hosting company established in 2013 (since 2025 part of World Host Group) that focuses on fully-managed cloud hosting with cPanel at the center of the experience. Their portfolio covers shared web hosting, managed Cloud VPS, Dedicated CPU servers, plus domains, SSL certificates, and a drag-and-drop site builder. The service is positioned for personal sites, small businesses, and growing projects that need managed help rather than DIY server administration.

On shared hosting, FastComet’s "FastCloud" platform is built for everyday sites and popular apps (WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, Joomla, etc.). The stack emphasizes performance: AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, LiteSpeed Enterprise web server with the LSCWP cache, HTTP/3/QUIC, and free Cloudflare CDN integration. Security is layered through their "FastGuard" approach: Imunify360 AI firewall, ModSecurity WAF rules, CloudLinux account isolation, SpamExperts email filtering, and free daily off-site backups with a point-and-click restore manager (up to 30 copies on shared). Free website migration (including 1-hour "Express Transfer" where feasible) and free domain transfer with one-year renewal are also bundled.

Managed Cloud VPS targets projects that outgrow shared plans. It’s an SSD/NVMe-backed, fully-managed environment with priority 24/7/365 support and the same optimization/security stack. For heavy workloads, Dedicated CPU servers offer raw, customizable compute while keeping FastComet’s managed safety net. Domain registration spans 500+ TLDs, private SSLs are available alongside free Let’s Encrypt certificates, and a simple SiteBuilder helps non-technical users launch quickly.

FastComet publishes a transparent 99.9% website uptime commitment and a 100% public network availability target, with stated credits for downtime. Their "Statement of Support" highlights always-on live chat and ticketing, high first-contact resolution, and short initial response times. A modern client area, cPanel/WHM access, and WordPress Toolkit ease ongoing management.

After acquisition, they changed the registration address from "offshore" Wilmington, DE to San Francisco, CA in a step forward to transparency.

😃 While Fastcomet is fairly reliable and has some desirable features that other hosting providers lack, all hosts have their quirks and something that they limit without telling you when you sign up.One of Fastcomet's limitations on websites is mySQL database limitations. Even if you are under the total amount of disk space allowed for databases, your plan will have an upper limit for INDIVIDUAL database files. In over ten years of running mySQL based sites, I have never had a host with that sort of policy.
With some of Fastcomet's plans, you can have many small databases (so many small sites) but you must manage them to make sure none of the sites gets a database that grows too much. For example, the Speedup plan lets you have 36 Gig of nySQL database storage, but no single database can be over 1 Gig OR THEY CLOSE DOWN ALL YOUR SITES.
I moved a couple of sites over to Fastcomet from other hosts. The other hosts were fine with with size of the databases, but Fastcomet won't let me use them. So, I either toss out user data or move the sites back to the other hosts.
To be fair, Fastcomet does have a link on the page where it describes their plans that will tell you the permitted database size limits, if you know where to click.
Every host has limitations of some kind (inodes, storage, etc.). Fastcomet is the first I have found that limits individual database size even if you have space for much more in your plan. If you want to host 36 small websites, you will be fine. However, if one of them gets too full of user data, you will have to scramble, even though you will be told you have only used 3-4% of your database disk space.
