📄 Editorial Review

Dominios.pt is a long-established Portuguese provider active since 2001, serving more than 80,000 customers and positioning itself as the largest national player for domain registration, web hosting, dedicated servers, Microsoft 365 and business email. Their focus is strongly local: hosting in Portugal, support in Portuguese, local payment methods, and a portfolio tailored to freelancers, small businesses and larger organizations that want a dependable national partner.

Their catalogue is wide and integrated. The Domains & SSL division covers a large variety of extensions (.pt, .eu, .com and many others) alongside DNS management, WHOIS lookup, privacy options, and trademark-oriented tools such as brand monitoring, domain recovery and blocking services. Domains can include a small "Web Domain" mini-hosting pack with DNS, basic email, web hosting and access to their Site OnePage builder for instant online presence.

Shared hosting is available in two major lines. The Linux "Alojamento Web Business" plans use NVMe SSD storage and include a free domain for the first year (selected TLDs), cPanel, Let’s Encrypt SSL, Imunify360 protection, Jetbackup, antispam, antivirus and installers for WordPress, Joomla and more. Resources scale from Startup to Performance tiers, allowing both simple one-site use and multiple larger projects under one account. The Windows Business plans follow the same layered structure but with Plesk, ASP.NET support, MSSQL databases and NVMe storage designed for Microsoft-centric development.

WordPress hosting is positioned as a separate, premium product line. It uses NVMe storage, LiteSpeed for performance and a WordPress AI Assistant to help generate page layouts and content. All plans include free SSL, Jetbackup, cPanel, unlimited traffic and Imunify360, with CPU, RAM and storage increasing across the tiers.

Agencies and developers are supported through Reseller hosting, built on NVMe SSD, cPanel, Jetbackup and unlimited traffic. These plans are white-label, enabling designers and developers to sell hosting to clients while Dominios.pt manages the backend infrastructure.

For more demanding needs, the company offers Cloud Servers (VPS) and Dedicated Servers. Cloud Servers run on a redundant cloud platform, include guaranteed RAM and vCPUs, a dedicated IPv4, DDoS protection, unlimited traffic on 1 Gbps connectivity, and a 99.5% service level. They are available with Linux or Windows, with optional cPanel/Plesk and paid management services. Dedicated Servers provide full hardware isolation, optional RAID, IPMI/remote reboot (depending on hardware), central backup services and optional full management, where their team handles OS updates, monitoring, security and application support.

Beyond hosting, Dominios.pt delivers a broad ecosystem of digital services: Professional Email, Microsoft 365, website builder tools, a full Online Store platform (supporting Multibanco, MB WAY, credit cards), SEO and marketing services, GDPR solutions, Google Consent Mode v2 tools, and an accessibility compliance platform (AccessiWay). This makes them more than a hosting company—they act as a complete digital partner for local businesses.

Note: Dominios.pt dropped English website localization in 2025 and their collocation offer (used to be in 2019)!
