📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

FastHosting is a Swiss hosting provider based in Chiasso, Canton Ticino, and operated by Vedova Consulting. The business dates to 2000, giving it more than 25 years of activity in web hosting and IT services. Founder and IT Manager Emanuele Vedova remains directly associated with the company, while the business operates as a relatively small Swiss provider rather than a large multinational hosting group.

Its catalog is considerably broader than basic shared hosting. Shared Linux Hosting uses NVMe SSD storage, cPanel, NGINX with Apache, free SSL certificates, anti-DDoS and firewall protection, and one-click application installation. Fast 1 through Fast 4 packages provide between 10 GB and 40 GB of combined web and email space, with unlimited databases, email accounts, subdomains and bandwidth.

A separate Swiss Linux Hosting range keeps hosting specifically in Switzerland and uses Plesk with NGINX, Apache and PHP. Sitejet, WordPress and Joomla management tools are available together with firewall, antivirus and antispam protection. Remote weekly backups are included with these Swiss hosting packages.

Customers with larger websites can use Professional Linux Hosting, which is based on DirectAdmin and supports multi-domain hosting with allocations reaching 100 GB of storage. Swiss Professional Hosting combines Plesk with larger Swiss-hosted resource allocations and daily backups, making it more suitable for commercial websites where Swiss infrastructure and stronger backup frequency are important requirements.

CMS hosting is particularly extensive. Dedicated plans are available for WordPress, WordPress Multisite, Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3, WooCommerce and PrestaShop. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and TYPO3 hosting combine SSD storage with cPanel and CMS-oriented management tools, while WooCommerce and PrestaShop packages are intended for online stores. WordPress plans include WordPress Toolkit functionality, while JetBackup is available with several cPanel-based services.

Development hosting is also available, including a temporary development subdomain, CMS installation and staging functionality. The first 30 days can be used free of charge before the project needs to be transferred to a commercial hosting service.

FastHosting has several options for web agencies and resellers. Reseller Hosting supports Linux and Windows environments and uses Plesk, with packages increasing CPU, RAM, SSD storage and bandwidth according to the selected tier. Swiss Reseller Hosting combines Plesk with Swiss hosting, Sitejet, WordPress and Joomla tools, plus remote weekly backups.

Higher-volume Agency Hosting uses cPanel and is intended for freelancers, web agencies and companies managing larger numbers of customer websites. This gives FastHosting a useful middle ground between conventional reseller accounts and maintaining independent VPS infrastructure for every customer.

The server portfolio includes both unmanaged and managed VPS hosting. Standard VPS plans cover smaller virtual machines, while the Fast VPS Pro family provides substantially larger CPU, RAM and storage resources. Linux and Windows operating systems are available, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity is included, and general VPS deployments can be located in Europe, America or Asia. Managed VPS services add system administration for customers that prefer FastHosting to handle more of the operating-system and hosting-stack maintenance.

A dedicated Swiss VPS Eco range uses KVM virtualization in Lausanne, Switzerland. Linux configurations range from 2 GB to 16 GB RAM and use SSD RAID1 storage. Windows VPS configurations are available as well. The operating-system list includes both modern Windows releases and older Windows Server versions, including Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2, so a currently supported Windows release should be selected for a new production installation.

Dedicated servers are available in managed and unmanaged configurations. Swiss dedicated systems use infrastructure in Rümlang and Lupfig, with configurations based on Supermicro and HPE hardware and HDD, SSD or SAS storage depending on the server. Some listed Swiss dedicated configurations use older-generation hardware, and several specific systems were unavailable at the time of the latest check, so customers requiring physical servers should confirm current stock and hardware specifications before ordering.

Additional services include domain registration, hosted email, SSL certificates and VPN access. Standard and professional email services use platforms including Zimbra and iRedMail. Standard email comes with 8x5 assistance, while professional email includes 24x7 premium support.

Paid SSL options cover single-domain certificates, broader business requirements and extended-validation certificates. Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates are included with many hosting packages. FastHosting's VPN service provides numerous international locations, multiple VPN protocols and support for several devices.

The website is available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish, which is useful for a Swiss provider serving customers across several European markets. Prices are mainly displayed in Swiss francs (CHF) with EUR equivalents also provided. VAT treatment depends on the customer's country of residence.
