📄 Editorial Review

easyname is an Austrian hosting and domain provider founded in 2005 by Florian Schicker and based in Vienna. Over the years they have grown into one of the larger web hosting brands in Austria and are now part of the wider dogado / group.one family, while still operating under their own name and focusing strongly on the DACH region and broader European customers.

The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for getting online: domains, web hosting, website builder, VPS/cloud servers, SSL certificates and online marketing tools. Domains and hosting remain the core: they act as a direct registrar for many extensions and offer a domain search tool with several hundred TLDs, real-time DNS management and domain transfer features.

On the shared web hosting side, easyname offers four SSD-based packages (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large) aimed at everything from simple blogs to larger company sites and web shops. All hosting plans run on 100% SSD storage, support PHP 5.3–8.x, include MySQL 5.7 and 8, and come with more than 30 Easy Install Apps for one-click deployment of applications like WordPress, Joomla, MediaWiki and various shop systems. Every package includes free Let’s Encrypt SSL, a generous number of email mailboxes (up to thousands per package), unlimited email addresses, spam and virus filtering, webmail, SSH access, cronjobs, backups and 24/7 monitoring. Storage scales from 75 GB up to 600 GB, databases from 10 up to 300, and all tariffs are suitable for multiple domains with unlimited subdomains.

Beyond classic web hosting, there is a Website Builder product line for users who want a drag-and-drop solution. Plans range from simple "Website" packages for brochure-style sites up to "Website + Shop" and "Website + Shop XL" which include a built-in webshop, payment integrations, product management and blogging features. These are clearly aimed at small businesses and freelancers who need a professional site and shop without managing a CMS or code.

For more demanding projects, easyname offers VPS / cloud servers with both Linux and Windows templates. These Cloud Server plans provide full root access, flexible SSD storage, multiple vCores and RAM tiers, and can optionally include Plesk Obsidian for easier administration. They are positioned as an upgrade path once shared hosting is no longer sufficient, suitable for agencies, developers, start-ups and more complex business applications. On top of that, a "Rent a server in Austria" area and a "Solutions" section highlight managed servers, private cloud, shared storage, DDoS protection and managed cluster setups for customers that need tailored infrastructure.

Security and encryption are integrated into the product portfolio. All hosting packages include free Let’s Encrypt certificates, and there is a range of paid SSL certificates (e.g. Business SSL and Wildcard SSL) with 256-bit encryption and 4096-bit keys, automatic installation and SEO benefits. Additional services such as premium technical help (migrations, bug fixing, performance tuning, email client setup) and extended support for older PHP versions round out the offering.

Overall, easyname comes across as a mature, regionally focused host with its own data centers in Vienna, a full spectrum of products from domains to cloud servers, and a mixture of convenience tools (Easy Install Apps, Website Builder) with developer-friendly features (SSH, multiple PHP versions, MySQL 5.7/8, optional Plesk).
