📄 Editorial Review

123HOST is a Vietnamese web hosting and internet infrastructure provider operated by Digital Storage Company Limited. The company was founded in 2012 by Bùi Tấn Việt, who continues to serve as CEO. Its headquarters are in Ho Chi Minh City, and the business has grown into an established local provider with an estimated workforce of 11–50 employees.

The service range extends far beyond basic shared hosting. Customers can purchase domain registration, shared hosting, NVMe hosting, WordPress hosting, SEO hosting, reseller hosting, free hosting, Cloud VPS, managed VPS, dedicated servers, colocation, server management, business email, transactional email relay, SSL certificates, DDoS protection, CDN, Object Storage, cloud backup and Magento optimization from the same provider.

The company has activated more than 135,000 services and processed over 118,000 support requests. This reflects a substantial operating history in the Vietnamese market, particularly among businesses that need domestic infrastructure, local network routes and Vietnamese-speaking technical assistance.

The website is available in Vietnamese, English and Chinese. The main hosting, VPS and server services are accessible in English, although several newer products remain more detailed in Vietnamese. Prices may therefore appear in either US dollars or Vietnamese dong, depending on the product and language selected.

Domain services include Vietnamese and international extensions, automated registration, transfers, ownership changes and WHOIS privacy. Eligible domain orders can be activated shortly after payment when the bank-transfer reference is entered correctly.

The standard Shared Hosting range uses SSD storage and includes unlimited bandwidth, email accounts, databases, subdomains and parked domains. Actual capacity is controlled through plan-specific CPU, memory, process and inode limits. The environment includes LiteSpeed Enterprise, LiteSpeed Cache, free SSL certificates, malware scanning, JetBackup, hardware firewall protection, GShield and secureFolder security tools.

NVMe Hosting provides a faster platform using data-center-grade NVMe drives and Intel Platinum processors. Plans include multiple PHP versions, daily backups with seven retained copies, free SSL, automatic WebP image conversion, malware protection, DDoS filtering and free website migration. WordPress installations also benefit from WP Toolkit, staging functions and licensed plugins.

WordPress Hosting combines LiteSpeed caching, automated backups, WordPress-specific configuration and two-layer firewall protection. Depending on the selected package, customers can host between two and ten additional domains with unlimited bandwidth.

SEO Hosting is designed for agencies and website operators maintaining groups of satellite sites. Each package includes several IP addresses from different ranges, with the largest option supporting 30 IP addresses and 29 additional domains. This product is mainly useful for specialized SEO networks rather than ordinary business websites.

Reseller Hosting uses cPanel and WHM and allows agencies to create individual hosting accounts under their own branding. Packages include a private IP address, seven-day backups, API access, billing-system integration, unlimited bandwidth and capacity for as many as 60 cPanel accounts.

The Free Hosting service is aimed at students, developers and small personal projects. It begins with 200 MB of SSD storage, includes unlimited bandwidth and can be expanded through optional account privileges. Management is handled through DirectAdmin. It is suitable for experimentation and simple websites, but commercial projects should use a paid plan with higher resource allocations.

The VPS range covers both low-cost and performance-oriented deployments. Vietnam VPS uses KVM virtualization, SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth, a dedicated firewall and full administrative access. NVMe VPS adds Intel Platinum processors, NVMe U.2 RAID 10 storage and free weekly backups, with the two most recent copies retained. Customers can install Linux or Windows Server and manage the system through a complete browser-based interface.

Cloud VPS Pro combines virtual-server resources with technical management. Installation, configuration, security, optimization and monitoring are handled by the support team, making the service useful for companies that need a VPS without maintaining an in-house Linux administrator.

VPS n8n was introduced in June 2025 for workflow automation. It includes one-click n8n installation, automatic updates, subdomain creation, free SSL, custom-domain support, optional NocoDB installation, Intel Platinum processors, NVMe storage and root access. The original direct product address currently returns a 404 error, although the service remains part of the company’s published product catalog.

The Dedicated Server range in Vietnam includes both older dual-Xeon platforms and newer high-core-count systems. Customers can select processor, memory, storage, IP addresses, bandwidth and software according to their workload. Most Vietnamese server plans include unlimited data transfer, although port speed and international bandwidth differ between configurations.

International dedicated servers are available in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Buffalo, Montreal, Vancouver, London and Amsterdam. Hardware options include Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors, together with SSD or NVMe storage, 1 Gbps ports and selected 10 Gbps configurations. Provisioning time depends on location and hardware availability and may range from several hours to four days.

Server-management services are available for machines hosted both inside and outside the 123HOST network. Management covers system monitoring, operating-system deployment, software installation, updates, security hardening, performance tuning, malware response and continuous technical assistance.

The business email platform provides domain-based mailboxes, antispam, antivirus protection, catch-all addresses, mailing lists, message scheduling and collaboration features. The separate Email Relay service is intended for transactional messages generated by WordPress, WooCommerce, XenForo, OpenCart, Laravel, Node.js and custom applications. These packages are measured by monthly sending volume rather than by a daily limit.

The Web Anti-DDoS service uses the internally developed GShield platform to filter attacks at layers 3, 4 and 7. Websites hosted by other providers can also use the protection by directing their DNS records through the filtering service.

SSL certificates are available in domain-validation, wildcard and extended-validation versions, with installation assistance included. Object Storage is located in Vietnam, supports the S3 API, provides unrestricted upload and download traffic, reaches speeds of up to 1 Gbps and keeps three copies of customer data.

Cloud Backup uses Acronis technology and supports Windows, Linux, macOS, physical servers, virtual machines, databases, Microsoft 365 accounts, mobile devices and websites. Pricing is based mainly on storage capacity rather than on the number of protected devices.

The CDN network extends across more than 94 points of presence in 54 countries on six continents. It includes automatic routing, SSL support and DDoS filtering. Magento users can also purchase a dedicated optimization service combining caching, server tuning and management for Magento 1 and Magento 2 stores.

cPanel and WHM licenses are available for VPS, dedicated servers and colocation systems using 123HOST IP addresses. Agencies can join a white-label reseller program with discounts reaching 50%, while the affiliate program offers commissions of up to 25%.
