📄 Editorial Review

FastComet was a privately-owned, independent hosting company established in 2013 (since 2025 part of World Host Group) that focuses on fully-managed cloud hosting with cPanel at the center of the experience. Their portfolio covers shared web hosting, managed Cloud VPS, Dedicated CPU servers, plus domains, SSL certificates, and a drag-and-drop site builder. The service is positioned for personal sites, small businesses, and growing projects that need managed help rather than DIY server administration.

On shared hosting, FastComet’s "FastCloud" platform is built for everyday sites and popular apps (WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, Joomla, etc.). The stack emphasizes performance: AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, LiteSpeed Enterprise web server with the LSCWP cache, HTTP/3/QUIC, and free Cloudflare CDN integration. Security is layered through their "FastGuard" approach: Imunify360 AI firewall, ModSecurity WAF rules, CloudLinux account isolation, SpamExperts email filtering, and free daily off-site backups with a point-and-click restore manager (up to 30 copies on shared). Free website migration (including 1-hour "Express Transfer" where feasible) and free domain transfer with one-year renewal are also bundled.

Managed Cloud VPS targets projects that outgrow shared plans. It’s an SSD/NVMe-backed, fully-managed environment with priority 24/7/365 support and the same optimization/security stack. For heavy workloads, Dedicated CPU servers offer raw, customizable compute while keeping FastComet’s managed safety net. Domain registration spans 500+ TLDs, private SSLs are available alongside free Let’s Encrypt certificates, and a simple SiteBuilder helps non-technical users launch quickly.

FastComet publishes a transparent 99.9% website uptime commitment and a 100% public network availability target, with stated credits for downtime. Their "Statement of Support" highlights always-on live chat and ticketing, high first-contact resolution, and short initial response times. A modern client area, cPanel/WHM access, and WordPress Toolkit ease ongoing management.

After acquisition, they changed the registration address from "offshore" Wilmington, DE to San Francisco, CA in a step forward to transparency.
