📄 Editorial Review

Antagonist is a Dutch hosting company based in Enschede that has been active since 2004 and now powers well over 100,000 websites. The brand positions itself very clearly: a relatively small, technical team that focuses on fast, secure and simple shared hosting rather than trying to cover every possible product category. The emphasis is on one strong hosting platform, automation, and a very outspoken culture around transparency and customer service.

The core of the offering is managed web hosting with guaranteed resources per account. Every package runs in an isolated container with its own slice of CPU and RAM, backed by SSD storage and aggressive caching. This gives typical shared-hosting customers something that feels close to a small VPS, but without the operational overhead. Standard features include free SSL for all domains, extensive automatic backups, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases and subdomains, and a catalogue of dozens of 1-click apps (WordPress, other CMSs, web apps) that can be rolled out in a few clicks.

Web hosting plans are structured in three main tiers:

• Webhosting Slim – entry-level plan with 50 GB SSD, 1 CPU core, 1 GB RAM, up to 1 website and 2 TB traffic. Ideal for a single business site, blog or small project that still benefits from container isolation, SSL, backups and email.
• Webhosting Plus – mid-range option with 75 GB SSD, 2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, up to 3 websites and 3 TB traffic. This tier already includes Redis cache and extended backup retention, so it suits growing sites, small agencies or small shops.
• Webhosting Pro – higher-end shared plan with 100 GB SSD, 3 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, up to 5 websites and 4 TB traffic. This tier targets busier business sites and webshops that need more headroom and higher email limits per day.

On top of these, there are Pro XL / XXL / XXXL variants that scale disk space, CPU and RAM significantly further (starting around 150 GB SSD and 6 CPU cores / 6 GB RAM and going up), so heavier agencies or shops can remain on the same managed platform instead of jumping to a self-managed VPS.

The same platform is repackaged into several specialized flavors. WordPress hosting simply pre-installs and optimizes WordPress on the underlying webhosting plans; Node.js and Python hosting use selectors in the control panel so that developers can run modern stacks next to traditional PHP. That combination of managed shared hosting with container isolation and support for PHP, Node.js and Python is one of the more technically interesting aspects of the service.

Antagonist also operates as a domain registrar for more than 500 TLDs, with some newer extensions (like .site, .online, .store, .shop) available for free during the first year when bundled with hosting. Domains are tightly integrated with hosting and email, so a typical small business can keep everything (DNS, web and mail) under one roof.

For customers who only need communication or storage, there are standalone e-mail hosting packages (S, M, L) with 5 / 10 / 20 mailboxes and matching gigabytes of storage. These are suitable for organizations that host their website elsewhere but want reliable IMAP/SMTP with spam filtering and encryption on Antagonist’s infrastructure.
In addition, there is online storage based on Nextcloud, again in S / M / L flavors starting around 250 GB up to 1 TB with a limited number of users per package. This turns the hosting platform into a private cloud for file sync, sharing and collaboration, useful for freelancers and small teams who prefer data in a Dutch datacenter rather than a global SaaS provider.

Finally, reseller hosting gives agencies, developers and IT partners access to the same container platform but with more resources and the ability to split those into multiple client accounts. The technical foundation is identical: SSD, container isolation, multiple datacenters, 99.9% uptime target and 24/7 monitoring, but with higher limits and a reseller-oriented setup.

Overall, Antagonist is a pure-play managed shared host: very strong in webhosting, domains, email and Nextcloud storage, plus some developer-friendly options, but intentionally avoiding classic unmanaged VPS or dedicated servers. The experience is geared towards users who want high quality and predictable performance from a shared platform, not those who need root access or exotic custom setups.
