(3*) 🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
Microware Hungary Kft. is a long-standing Hungarian registrar and hosting provider, accredited for .hu since 2003 and managing international TLDs via ICANN accreditation in its group. Their focus blends domain expertise with practical hosting: automated .hu electronic registration (no signed paperwork), DNSSEC, and an advanced domain manager to handle registration, transfer, DNS, and nameserver changes across Hungarian and global extensions. DNS is delivered with internationally redundant availability and nodes in Hungary and France.

Shared (SSD) Web Hosting

Shared hosting is positioned as a complete, secure stack for business or personal sites. Key features include weekly backups with one-click database restore, cPanel access, a one-click app installer for popular CMSs, and broad runtime support (multiple PHP branches, Perl, Python, Node.js, Ruby, Git/SSH, MariaDB, Redis, cron). Security emphasizes per-user isolation, ModSecurity WAF, CXS/CSF malware and intrusion protections, and automatic IP blocking. Storage uses a hybrid architecture ("Flashcache"): RAIDed SAS/SATA for durability and throughput, with Intel SSD caching for responsiveness—aimed at combining reliability with faster page delivery.

Email Hosting

Email is offered as a standalone service with POP3/IMAP/SMTP over SSL, spam and virus filters, Roundcube webmail, and autoresponders. The same platform-level protections apply (isolation, WAF/malware safeguards), which is useful for small offices wanting domain-branded mail without a full web stack.

VPS (KVM)

Virtual servers are KVM-based for strong isolation and dedicated resources at peak times. Customers can choose from a wide OS catalog (AlmaLinux, Rocky, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Oracle, openSUSE, etc.) and control their instances via an automated customer gateway (reinstall, reboot, scaling). VPS nodes sit in a high-power-density Hungarian facility with redundant power/cooling and substantial domestic/international bandwidth, targeting low-latency services and predictable performance.

SSL & Domains

They resell Sectigo certificates (DV and higher) and maintain a registrar-level toolset for international TLDs. For DNS, they advertise 99.9% availability with multi-site redundancy and DNSSEC support.

Automation & APIs

Across domains and hosting, an API interface is available for clients and resellers. This supports automated provisioning, monitoring, and routine admin work, and fits agencies that need to integrate orders and lifecycle ops.

💰 Price & Cost

• Shared hosting (MEDIUM): 19,510 HUF/year.
• Email hosting: from 2,907 HUF/year per mailbox.
• VPS (KVM 512M): from 2,861 HUF/month (gross 3,633 HUF/month).

Statutory consumer withdrawal rights (e.g., 14-day right of withdrawal in the EU for distance contracts) may apply separately; domains are typically an exception.

🏢 Data Center

Infrastructure is colocated in one of Hungary’s highest power-density server rooms (approx. 300 m², 1 MW usable power, 3.33 kW/m²). Power and cooling are redundant (e.g., 2×500 kW UPS), with 2×2.5 MVA feeds and a 2.5 MVA diesel generator plus 24-hour fuel reserves. Network capacity is described as ~20 Gbps international and ~30 Gbps domestic peering.

Availability targets:

• Web hosting (SSD): 99.8% yearly availability (plan tables).
• Reseller hosting: 99.9% yearly availability.
• DNS: 99.9% availability with presence in Hungary and France.

✍️ Customer Support

Support channels include phone, email, live online chat, and a client portal (tickets, knowledge base, downloads) plus a public status page. Phone support hours: Mon–Thu 08:00–17:00, Fri 08:00–15:50 (Hungary time).

🔨 Control Panel

Hosting management uses cPanel for shared accounts and WHM for resellers. Customers also get a domain manager and a customer gateway for VPS lifecycle operations. The client portal offers a language selector (English / Magyar), which helps non-Hungarian users navigate billing and support.

🎯 Conclusion

Microware Hungary blends registrar depth (.hu expertise, international TLD handling, DNSSEC) with practical hosting anchored in cPanel, KVM, and a hybrid SSD-accelerated storage design. Weekly backups, per-user isolation, WAF/malware protections, and an API are strong operational touches for SMEs and agencies. Clear office-hour phone support and a multilingual portal add to day-to-day usability.

On the cautious side, there’s no advertised money-back guarantee, uptime targets vary by product (99.8%/99.9%), and data-center details are facility-level but not brand-named. The main website is Hungarian-only (though the portal offers English), which may slow evaluation for international buyers. Overall, they suit customers who want Hungary-based hosting with registrar-grade domain operations, straightforward cPanel workflows, and API-friendly automation—at competitive HUF pricing.

Microware.hu shows limited online visibility, with no presence on major social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. Their user portal also appears to be a basic, non-customized panel, which gives an unprofessional, low-cost impression for a hosting company.

Another drawback is the absence of English website localization. By targeting only Hungarian customers, the company restricts itself to a purely local market and misses the opportunity to grow into an international market.
