Server Review 2026. Is server.ir good web hosting in Iran?

📄 Editorial Review

🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
Server.ir is a long-established Iranian hosting and cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2014 by Saeed Khosravi, who remains Founder and CEO. The business began around the end of the Iranian year 1392 with development around domains and web hosting, later expanding into VPS, dedicated servers, cloud infrastructure and other Internet services. In autumn 1399 (2020), Server.ir moved into an independent corporate structure under Tadbirpardazan. The company has grown to an organization with roughly 11–50 employees and serves a substantial domestic customer base, with more than 90,000 members, 70,000 hosting services, 195,000 answered support tickets and 70+ active data center locations across its infrastructure portfolio.

Server.ir is considerably broader than a conventional shared-hosting company. Its portfolio includes Linux Hosting, Windows Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Laravel Hosting, Download Hosting, Free Hosting, Reseller Hosting, Iran VPS, Foreign VPS, CPU-Optimized VPS, MikroTik VPS, Trading VPS, n8n VPS, Cloud Servers, Hourly Servers, Dedicated Servers, GPU Servers, Colocation, Domains, SSL certificates, Storage, GeoDNS, software licenses, Docker Registry access and anti-sanctions DNS services. Customers can therefore keep domestic workloads close to Iranian users while also maintaining services in foreign data centers when an international IP address or geographically distributed infrastructure is required.

The operation is strongly focused on the Iranian market. The customer environment is in Persian, prices are quoted in Iranian toman, and no equivalent English-language customer interface exists. Account verification can involve an Iranian national identification number, telephone number associated with that identity, email address, postal code and an address in Iran. Server.ir is consequently much more practical for Iranian individuals and businesses than for a typical overseas customer.

Shared hosting is one of the most complete parts of the portfolio. Locations include Iran, Germany and the Netherlands, with separate Linux, WordPress, Laravel and Windows products. Linux hosting covers ordinary websites and applications, while WordPress plans provide higher resource allocations suited to CMS workloads. Laravel hosting is intended for developers requiring framework-oriented hosting and terminal access rather than a basic website account.

Linux, WordPress and Laravel accounts use cPanel with LiteSpeed. The environment also includes CloudLinux, CageFS account isolation, Imunify360 security, Redis caching, free SSL, periodic backups and JetBackup restoration. Storage uses SSD on domestic infrastructure and NVMe on many foreign configurations. Traffic is generally unlimited on this shared-hosting range, while WordPress can be provisioned ready for use. Hosting upgrades can also be applied without deleting account data.

Customers choosing three-, six- or twelve-month shared-hosting periods can receive a free .ir domain. This is particularly useful for local websites where both the hosting and national domain can be managed from the same customer account.

Windows Hosting follows a separate Microsoft-oriented platform based on Plesk and IIS. It is therefore suited to customers requiring Windows technologies rather than trying to accommodate them inside the Linux hosting platform.

Reseller Hosting uses a conventional cPanel/WHM model and allows resellers to create individual hosting accounts for their own customers. White-label operation is supported, making it suitable for web designers, agencies and smaller hosting businesses that do not want to build their own server infrastructure. Iranian and foreign hosting locations are available depending on the reseller package.

The Iran VPS range is extensive and includes both standard virtual machines and CPU-optimized configurations. Locations include Pars Online, Pardis, Afranet, Asiatech, Tabriz and Shiraz. Configurations extend from small systems for lightweight applications to much larger virtual servers with dozens of CPU cores, as much as 80 GB RAM and storage allocations reaching approximately 1 TB on higher-end packages.

Console access is available on appropriate VPS plans, and operating systems can be installed or rebuilt as required. Linux and Windows environments are both supported. Traffic policy varies significantly between Iranian data centers; some packages provide unlimited upload with a defined monthly download allocation, while others bill traffic according to consumption. This difference makes the exact data center and package specification important when comparing apparently similar Iran VPS plans.

CPU-optimized VPS products provide stronger or more tightly allocated processor resources for workloads such as databases, compilation, automation, high-traffic applications and other processing-intensive services.

Foreign VPS expands coverage to numerous international locations including Germany, Finland, France, the United States, Turkey and additional markets. Hetzner infrastructure forms an important part of the international inventory and combines NVMe storage, IPv6 support, console access, firewall functionality and high-capacity network connectivity. Traffic allowances depend on the platform, with some Hetzner configurations providing monthly allocations reaching 20 TB rather than unrestricted transfer.

Several VPS lines are tailored to specific use cases. Trading VPS provides a fixed foreign IP for trading platforms and Internet services that may not work reliably from Iranian IP addresses. Separate Iran stock-market VPS products concentrate on low latency to domestic financial services.

MikroTik VPS provides an environment for RouterOS networking workloads, while n8n VPS targets workflow automation and application integration. These specialist offerings make the virtual-server portfolio considerably more diverse than a simple collection of generic Linux VPS plans.

The Cloud Server platform provides a more flexible provisioning model with periods ranging from hourly use to longer subscriptions. Iranian and foreign capacity can be managed through a common cloud interface, with locations including Iran, Germany, Turkey, the United Kingdom, UAE, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, France, India and Hong Kong depending on current capacity.

Cloud functions include firewall management, console access, static IP addressing, operating-system deployment, application deployment and server rebuilding. Managed-server assistance is also available for customers who do not want full responsibility for operating-system administration.

Dedicated Servers are available both inside Iran and internationally. Iranian dedicated machines use hardware owned by Server.ir and installed in domestic data center facilities. This gives Server.ir direct responsibility for the physical server equipment and its hardware maintenance rather than relying entirely on rented foreign machines.

International dedicated servers extend across several European locations. Hetzner infrastructure is available in Germany and Finland, while Greenhouse Data Centers contributes capacity in the Netherlands. Additional systems are available in France and other Dutch facilities.

Dedicated-server hardware ranges from inexpensive Atom-based systems through modern Intel Core and Xeon machines to dual-Xeon and AMD EPYC-class configurations. SSD, NVMe and HDD storage combinations are available, including multiple-drive systems. Network ports are typically 1 Gbps, while selected configurations can be upgraded toward 10 Gbps. Some French and Dutch dedicated servers also include separate backup storage.

Customers receive root-level administrative access and can deploy Linux, Windows, Proxmox and ESXi on suitable hardware. Physical failures and underlying server hardware are handled at the infrastructure level, while applications, databases and operating-system configuration normally remain the customer's responsibility unless management is purchased separately.

GPU Servers extend the dedicated-server range toward artificial intelligence, machine learning, rendering, scientific computing and other workloads that benefit from accelerator hardware. They are particularly suitable for customers requiring complete control of a GPU-equipped system rather than shared cloud processing.

Colocation is available for customers who already own rack-mount equipment. Server.ir maintains rack infrastructure in the Poonak and Pardis facilities, with power, cooling, connectivity, monitoring, physical security and dedicated IP addressing. Remote console functionality is available, and technicians can perform tasks such as operating-system or hypervisor installation.

Customers do not normally enter the data center directly. Physical intervention is carried out by Server.ir technicians, while replacement components for customer-owned hardware remain the customer's responsibility. Additional IP addresses can also be requested, with larger allocations subject to technical approval.

Domain services cover Iranian and international extensions and include registration, transfer, renewal, DNS management, nameserver administration, registrar locking, EPP transfers, WHOIS privacy where supported, premium domains, reseller services and a domain marketplace. Hundreds of extensions can be handled from the same account.

Successful domain registrations, transfers and renewals are final transactions because registry charges cannot normally be recovered once the operation has completed.

The wider service portfolio also includes international and national SSL certificates, FTP-accessible storage and backup space, GeoDNS, software and control-panel licensing, Docker Registry access and encrypted anti-sanctions DNS. GeoDNS is particularly useful for services that need to manage domestic and international routing conditions, while anti-sanctions DNS provides an alternative way to reach Internet services that restrict Iranian IP addresses.

Customer data and server credentials are handled with an emphasis on account confidentiality. Technical staff do not normally enter a customer's server without a support request. When privileged credentials have been changed, temporary or confidential access information can be supplied through the ticketing system for the required technical work.

💰 Price & Cost

Prices are listed in Iranian toman and vary substantially according to location, hardware specification and, for international infrastructure, currency exchange rates.

Shared hosting remains comparatively inexpensive. Current monthly examples include Iran Linux hosting from approximately 210,000 toman, foreign Linux hosting from around 240,000 toman, Iran WordPress hosting from roughly 590,000 toman, foreign WordPress hosting from approximately 630,000 toman, Iran Windows hosting from about 320,000 toman, and Laravel hosting from approximately 730,000 toman in Iran and 770,000 toman internationally.

Longer shared-hosting periods reduce the effective cost. Current discounts reach approximately 5% for three months, 7% for six months and 17% for annual billing.

VPS pricing varies much more because Server.ir combines numerous data centers and traffic models. An Iranian 2-vCore, 2 GB RAM and 30 GB configuration in Tabriz or Shiraz has been available around 854,000 toman per month, while a comparable 2-vCore and 2 GB Asiatech configuration has been around 934,000 toman per month. The first can involve usage-based traffic charging, while the latter includes a defined monthly download allocation.

Foreign VPS prices start higher and are more exposed to exchange-rate changes. A 1-vCore, 1 GB RAM and 10 GB NVMe configuration in France or the United States has been around 1,326,000 toman per month, while a 1-vCore, 2 GB RAM and 50 GB NVMe Istanbul VPS has been around 3,655,000 toman per month.

Dedicated-server pricing covers a very wide range. Entry-level Atom-based systems in Paris or Amsterdam have started around 3,900,000 toman per month, while modern Xeon, Core i5/i7, dual-Xeon, high-memory and EPYC configurations can reach tens of millions of toman monthly.

One-unit colocation has been priced around 7,500,000 toman per month, reflecting the rack space, connectivity, power, cooling and physical infrastructure included with the service.

Domain pricing is competitive for the Iranian market but varies with registry charges and currency conditions. Representative prices include approximately 95,000 toman for .ir and 2,902,500 toman for .com. Promotional pricing is also periodically available on extensions such as .shop, .info, .xyz and .site.

Normal invoices are subject to Iranian taxation, with 10% VAT currently applied. Payments can be completed through the online banking gateway, while card-to-card transfers and the Iranian Paya bank-transfer system are also supported. Offline bank payments require confirmation by the financial department during business hours. Official invoices and pro forma invoices can be generated when needed.

Installment arrangements can be available for approved six- or twelve-month purchases through YektaPay. Installment transactions are not refundable, and the normal long-term service discount is removed when financing is used.

The refund policy depends strongly on the product. Shared hosting carries a 7-day unconditional money-back guarantee. Iran VPS and international SSL can also fall within refundable service categories.

Foreign VPS does not include a trial or money-back guarantee. Foreign-currency services, dedicated servers, renewals, upgrades, third-party products, initial setup fees and additional licenses such as cPanel, DirectAdmin and Plesk can also be excluded from refunds. Credit already deposited into an account is normally not withdrawable as cash.

For eligible cancellations, the refundable service amount is returned after the required identity verification, while setup and initial charges remain excluded. This makes it especially important to check refund eligibility before purchasing expensive dedicated, foreign-currency, license or third-party services rather than assuming that the seven-day shared-hosting guarantee applies throughout the complete catalog.

🏢 Data Center

Server.ir combines domestic infrastructure with a large international network of partner facilities, giving customers a broad geographic selection across shared hosting, VPS, cloud and dedicated servers.

Iranian dedicated-server hardware is owned by Server.ir and operates from the Poonak and Pardis data centers. The facilities provide the physical environment, power, cooling and connectivity, while Server.ir retains responsibility for the actual dedicated-server equipment.

Colocation also operates in Poonak and Pardis. The facilities include redundant or backup power arrangements, cooling, continuous monitoring, controlled physical access, network connectivity and dedicated IP resources. On-site work is carried out by Server.ir technicians rather than by customers entering the facility themselves.

Iran VPS infrastructure is more geographically distributed and includes Pars Online, Pardis, Afranet, Asiatech, Tabriz and Shiraz. This allows customers to select infrastructure according to latency, bandwidth requirements and local connectivity characteristics.

International infrastructure covers Germany, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Turkey, the United States and additional locations. The wider cloud network extends to countries including the United Kingdom, UAE, Sweden, India and Hong Kong depending on current capacity.

International dedicated servers include Hetzner infrastructure in Germany and Finland and Greenhouse Data Centers infrastructure in the Netherlands, together with additional French and Dutch server inventory.

The main availability commitment across Server.ir services is a 99.9% uptime/stability guarantee. Shared hosting specifically operates with 99.9% uptime. International dedicated-server information has included both 99% and 99.99% availability figures for different specifications, so the contractual SLA attached to the chosen dedicated facility remains the appropriate figure for a mission-critical deployment.

Server.ir also operates its own Internet network presence through AS39368. Its IPv4 routing includes multiple prefixes in the 185.211.56.0/22 range, with domestic network relationships involving providers including Afranet. International services use the networks of their corresponding infrastructure providers; Hetzner-based systems, for example, operate through Hetzner's network environment.

Backups are integrated particularly well into shared hosting. Periodic automated backups and JetBackup restoration are available, while selected server products also include separate backup capacity. These backups are useful for routine recovery, but important data should still be maintained independently rather than relying exclusively on the hosting platform's recovery copies.

✍️ Customer Support

Customer support is available through ticket, telephone, email and online chat. Technical ticket support operates every day of the week, including holidays, and normal ticket responses target a period of under 15 minutes.

The main office operates Saturday through Wednesday from 09:00 to 17:00, with a break from 12:30 to 13:15. The primary numbers are 1779 and +98 21 79625000. Calls can be routed to sales, customer service, finance and administration, or human resources.

Issues involving account identity, confidential credentials or ownership information may need to be handled through the ticket system rather than by telephone. This provides a more secure record for sensitive account operations.

Dedicated-server infrastructure support includes physical hardware problems and failures affecting the underlying server. Operating systems, applications, databases and normal server administration remain the customer's responsibility unless managed assistance has been added.

Colocation follows a similar division of responsibility. Server.ir technicians perform physical work inside the facility, while the customer must provide replacement components when personally owned hardware fails.

Shared-hosting customers receive more direct assistance with ordinary hosting administration and migrations. Existing accounts can be moved into the Server.ir environment, including migrations from DirectAdmin to cPanel, which reduces the amount of manual work required when changing providers.

🔨 Control Panel

Linux, WordPress and Laravel shared hosting use cPanel. Reseller packages add WHM, allowing individual customer accounts and packages to be created and managed.

The Linux shared-hosting stack combines cPanel with LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, CageFS, Imunify360, Redis and JetBackup. This provides a familiar management interface together with account isolation, caching, malware/security functions and backup restoration.

Windows Hosting uses Plesk with IIS. The division is therefore straightforward: cPanel for Linux-family shared hosting and Plesk for Windows hosting.

VPS and dedicated-server customers receive infrastructure-level administration rather than only a shared-hosting control panel. Root access, console access where supported, restart functions, operating-system installation or reinstallation, IP administration and firewall functions can be controlled through the respective customer interfaces.

Optional server licenses include cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk and ISPmanager, allowing an unmanaged VPS or dedicated server to be converted into a familiar web-hosting environment when required.

The cloud dashboard provides rapid provisioning, hourly usage, operating-system selection, application deployment, firewall administration, console access, rebuilding and management of multiple server locations. It is particularly convenient for customers treating servers as flexible cloud instances rather than permanent traditional hosting accounts.

🎯 Conclusion

Server.ir is one of the more complete infrastructure choices for Iranian customers who want domestic hosting and international server capacity under the same provider relationship. Its strongest advantages are its large product range, company-owned Iranian dedicated hardware, domestic colocation, access to numerous international locations, its own AS39368 network presence, established shared-hosting platform, several control-panel options, Iranian billing methods and responsive ticket support.

Shared hosting is particularly attractive for ordinary Iranian websites. cPanel or Plesk, SSD/NVMe storage, free SSL, backups, security tooling and a 7-day money-back guarantee provide a practical package at relatively accessible prices. Separate WordPress and Laravel products also make it easier to choose re
