📄 Editorial Review

AlpHosting is a long-established Swiss hosting provider operated by TiZoo Sàrl, a company registered on May 28, 2002. Florian Blaser is a co-founder of TiZoo/AlpHosting and remains associated with the business as its manager and owner. The company has operated since 2002 and hosts more than 5,200 domains, giving it a considerably longer history than many smaller Swiss hosting brands.

Based in Crissier in the canton of Vaud, AlpHosting concentrates heavily on keeping hosting and customer data inside Switzerland. Its catalog is broader than standard shared hosting and includes Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Java Hosting, PostgreSQL Hosting, Email Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Reseller Hosting, Domains, SSL Certificates, GeoHosting, Online Backup, cloud file storage and collaborative email.

The principal shared hosting range consists of MINI, PERSO, EXPERT and ULTIMATE packages. Storage starts at 5 GB and reaches 200 GB, while the larger plans include unlimited bandwidth, email accounts and MySQL/PostgreSQL databases. Depending on the package, customers can operate between one and 50 independent websites. A domain from a selection including .com, .net, .org, .ch, .fr, .de, .be, .nl and .co.uk can also be included.

Shared hosting supports PHP and Perl, MySQL and PostgreSQL, POP/IMAP/webmail, SSH, FTP, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin. Automated backups, SSL certificates and traffic statistics are included, while the website builder provides more than 200 templates. Softaculous (softaculous.com) is available for one-click installation of WordPress and many other CMS and web applications.

The WordPress Hosting service uses the same Swiss infrastructure with WordPress-oriented configuration and optional managed administration. WordPress can be installed automatically, common brute-force and hacking attempts are filtered, and off-site backups add another recovery option. Managed WordPress service can also cover updates to the WordPress core, themes and plugins. PHP memory allowances reach 512 MB by default, with higher limits available when required.

Migration assistance is another useful advantage. Existing websites, databases and email accounts can be transferred from another provider without an additional migration fee when the existing environment is technically compatible. This removes much of the manual work normally involved when changing hosting companies.

Email is included with conventional hosting but is also available separately through the MAIL package for customers whose websites are hosted elsewhere. MAIL provides 5 GB of storage and up to 25 email accounts with multiple-domain support. Standard email functionality includes IMAP, POP, webmail, encrypted connections, SpamAssassin filtering, DNS blocklists and ClamAV malware scanning.

For organizations needing collaboration tools rather than ordinary mailboxes, AlpMail is based on Zimbra (zimbra.com). It combines email with shared calendars, address books, mobile synchronization, push email and centralized signatures. Email, attachments, calendars and contacts remain stored and backed up in Switzerland.

AlpBox provides Swiss-hosted file synchronization and collaboration. Plans range from 20 GB for an individual user to 2.5 TB for ten users. Files can be synchronized between computers and mobile devices, shared by link and recovered through version history. Encryption and collaborative online editing are also available, making AlpBox a practical alternative for businesses that prefer their files to remain in Switzerland.

The standalone Online Backup service ranges from 20 GB to 200 GB and works with standard protocols such as rsync, SFTP and WebDAV. This is particularly useful for administrators who want to integrate the storage into existing automated and incremental backup routines without relying on proprietary backup software.

Java Hosting is also available, which is relatively uncommon among smaller hosting companies. The platform supports private JVM packages and shared Tomcat hosting, WAR deployment and automatic application-server monitoring. The technical catalog still includes combinations such as Java 6/7/8, Tomcat 6/7/8, GlassFish 3/4, WildFly 8 and JBoss 7, so customers deploying current Java applications should confirm the available JDK and application-server versions before ordering.

The VPS range provides configurable CPU, RAM and storage, root access, a management console, VNC console, DNS administration, API access, guaranteed resources and unlimited reinstalls. Servers can be operated unmanaged or combined with system management covering security, firewall administration, updates and monitoring.

Dedicated Servers provide physical hardware with root access, IPMI, remote reboot and 24x7 server monitoring. Managed administration can cover system security, firewall configuration, operating-system updates and monitoring. The VPS and dedicated ranges are suitable for customers that need considerably more control than shared hosting while still keeping infrastructure in Switzerland.

The reseller program is based on WHM/cPanel and gives agencies the ability to create individual hosting accounts, define their own packages, use customized DNS servers and brand their hosting environment. Overselling is permitted according to actual resource consumption. AlpHosting also operates an affiliate program with recurring commissions and a white-label option.

GeoHosting adds geographically distributed website acceleration. Copies or cached versions of an existing website can be delivered closer to visitors while the main website remains at its original hosting location. Available locations include Austria, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. GeoHosting can also be used with websites hosted by another provider.

Domain registration includes a substantial selection of country-code and generic extensions. Eligible domains can be included with hosting packages. Privacy protection can also substitute AlpHosting registration information for customer information with certain domain extensions where registry rules allow it.

The service is localized in English, French and German, while product pricing can be displayed in CHF, EUR and USD. VAT is already included in the displayed prices, making the storefront practical for both Swiss and international customers.
