Zircon Host is a Sri Lankan web hosting provider founded in 2017, operating under Reg. No. CPC/DS/UDU/BR/5724. The company mainly serves budget-conscious customers, small businesses, freelancers, agencies, and local Sri Lankan users who want affordable hosting with familiar tools such as cPanel, LiteSpeed, domain registration, reseller hosting, and support through local contact channels.

The main product line is Linux Shared Hosting. Plans run on NVMe storage, LiteSpeed Web Server, cPanel, free SSL, one-click application installation, email hosting, PHP selector, Imunify360 security, DDoS protection, and weekly backup coverage. Entry-level packages are very small and inexpensive, starting from 500 MB storage, while larger plans move up to 10 GB, 50 GB, or unlimited NVMe space. This makes Zircon Host more suitable for personal websites, local business pages, landing pages, blogs, and simple WordPress projects rather than high-end cloud deployments.

Their Enterprise Grade Web Hosting line is a stronger shared-hosting tier for heavier websites. These plans include unlimited SSD storage and bandwidth, higher CPU/RAM allocation, free SSL, LiteSpeed, and cPanel. It works as a practical middle option for customers who need more hosting resources but do not want to manage a VPS.

Reseller Hosting is another important part of the portfolio. Packages include cPanel/WHM, private nameservers, own branding, Softaculous, SitePad, WordPress optimization, and a free WHMCS Starter license with annual plans. This is useful for web designers, small agencies, and freelancers who want to resell hosting under their own brand.

VPS services exist in two categories: HDD + SSD Boost VPS and 100% SSD VPS. These plans include root access, VNC access, Linux/Windows Server options, dedicated IP addresses, and unmetered traffic. However, the current VPS packages are marked out of stock, so the active server portfolio is limited at the moment.

The company also offers domain registration, web design, graphic design, SMS gateway services, and hosting-related software licenses such as cPanel/WHM, CloudLinux, DirectAdmin, LiteSpeed, JetBackup, WHMCS, Imunify360, and ConfigServer eXploit Scanner. Several license products are also out of stock, which makes the live storefront strongest around shared hosting, reseller hosting, domains, and design-related services.

The website is available in English, and the WHMCS-style cart includes language localization options. The billing area also supports LKR / USD currency switching. The design is functional, but it has an older WHMCS-style layout, repeated footer elements, inconsistent wording, and several grammar issues. It is usable, but not as polished or modern as larger international hosting brands.

💰 Price & Cost

Pricing is very aggressive, especially for Sri Lankan customers. Standard Linux Shared Hosting starts at LKR 1,990/year for 500 MB NVMe storage, 10 GB bandwidth, 2 email accounts, 1 database, and 1 addon domain. Larger shared plans include Basic at LKR 2,490/year, Regular at LKR 3,990/year, Deluxe at LKR 549/month or LKR 5,490/year, Premium at LKR 699/month or LKR 6,990/year, and Extreme at LKR 799/month or LKR 7,990/year. The Single Domain Unlimited plan is listed at LKR 5,990/year.

Enterprise hosting starts at LKR 1,990/month, with higher tiers at LKR 2,990/month and LKR 3,990/month. Reseller hosting starts at LKR 4,490/month for 20 cPanel accounts, then LKR 5,490/month for 50 cPanel accounts and LKR 7,490/month for 100 cPanel accounts.

Domain pricing is also visible in the order area. .com costs LKR 4,900/year for registration, transfer, and renewal. .lk costs LKR 4,500/year, while .net and .org cost LKR 5,500/year. Several Sri Lankan second-level domains such as .com.lk, .org.lk, .edu.lk, .hotel.lk, .web.lk are listed around LKR 1,250/year, while LK domain pricing also uses Economy, Premium, Desirable, and Budget categories.

Payment options include Credit/Debit Cards, PayPal, Mobile Wallets, LankaQR, and Wire/Bank Transfer. Refund terms are strict: no money-back guarantee is offered, no pro-rated refunds are provided, and all sales are final. This is important for new customers, because the very low pricing comes with limited refund flexibility.

🏢 Data Center

Zircon Host uses servers in Falkenstein, Germany and Finland for its main hosting environment. Shared hosting plans identify Falkenstein, Germany as the active location, while the broader hosting content also mentions Finland / Germany. VPS SSD plans mention Germany / USA, and HDD + SSD Boost VPS plans mention Germany, although those VPS services are currently out of stock.

Infrastructure features include LiteSpeed Web Server, cPanel, NVMe SSD storage, DDoS-protected networks, weekly remote backups for Linux shared and reseller accounts, and continuous server monitoring. The shared hosting platform includes Intel Xeon Gold hardware, DDR5 ECC RAM, NVMe SSD RAID, and a 1 Gbit/s port. Enterprise hosting uses AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe SSD RAID, and a 1 Gbit/s port.

The uptime promise is one of the stronger points: 99.99% network/server uptime is used across the company’s hosting pages. Shared and reseller hosting plans also carry a 99.99% server uptime guarantee.

Public DNS/ASN evidence points to at least one Zircon Host nameserver IP in AS24940, operated by Hetzner, which matches the Falkenstein, Germany infrastructure footprint. No official named facility operator was found for the Finland location.

✍️ Customer Support

Customer support is one of Zircon Host’s more practical advantages. Technical, sales, and billing help is available through a 24/7 support ticket system. Sales and billing assistance is also available through live chat, WhatsApp, and phone during working hours: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM on weekdays and 9:00 AM–2:00 PM on Saturday, Sri Lanka Standard Time.

The company also maintains a knowledgebase, video tutorials, a support center, and network status links. cPanel tutorials cover common tasks such as installing Let’s Encrypt SSL and changing PHP versions. Phone and WhatsApp support are especially useful for local Sri Lankan customers who prefer direct communication instead of ticket-only support.

🔨 Control Panel

Zircon Host uses cPanel for shared hosting and enterprise web hosting, with cPanel Webmail included for email accounts. Reseller hosting includes cPanel/WHM, private nameservers, own branding, Softaculous, SitePad, and WHMCS licensing on eligible annual plans.

The billing and customer area uses a WHMCS-style client portal where customers can register domains, manage orders, open support tickets, check network status, and pay invoices. VPS plans include root access and VNC access, but OS reinstallations are handled by request rather than through a fully self-service VPS cloud panel. SMS Gateway customers receive a cloud control panel and API access.

🎯 Conclusion

Zircon Host is a good fit for Sri Lankan customers, small businesses, freelancers, agencies, and beginners who want affordable cPanel hosting, domain registration, reseller hosting, and accessible local support. The main strengths are low entry pricing, cPanel/LiteSpeed hosting, NVMe storage, 99.99% uptime positioning, Sri Lankan domain support, and multiple contact channels including WhatsApp, phone, tickets, and live chat.

The limitations are also clear. The website looks somewhat dated, VPS and many license products are currently out of stock, refund terms are restrictive. Even so, Zircon Host remains a useful budget hosting option for customers who prioritize simple cPanel hosting, low annual prices, and local Sri Lankan support.
