Floki NET BH2, € 17.00/mo. on Linux Shared

BH2 is the middle business shared hosting plan and is designed for growing projects, small online communities and busy company sites that need more capacity than the entry level offer. This tier increases storage to 40GB of SSD space, giving plenty of room for several medium sized CMS installations, file downloads and media heavy pages while still benefiting from the low latency of solid state drives. The memory allocation is raised to 3GB RAM with a 300 percent CPU share, which significantly improves concurrency for PHP applications, caching layers and database queries when traffic grows. Unlimited MySQL databases remain included so each site or application can have its own schema and credentials, which is helpful when you manage multiple brands or clients on one account. With cPanel you have full control over mailboxes, domains, DNS, metrics, cron jobs and application installers, making it easy to organise and maintain numerous sites without learning new tools. BH2 keeps the policy of allowing an unlimited number of hosted websites and domains, so agencies and resellers can consolidate dozens of projects while taking advantage of the higher RAM and CPU allocations. Bandwidth is still unmetered, allowing campaigns, newsletters and social media spikes to bring large volumes of visitors without triggering automatic suspension for exceeding a traffic quota. Let's Encrypt integration provides free SSL certificates for all domains that point at the server so you can redirect traffic to HTTPS and meet modern browser security expectations with almost no manual configuration. Imunify360, the integrated web application firewall and security suite, scans requests and files to block exploits and malware, while the upstream DDoS filtering layer mitigates large scale attacks aimed at overwhelming your site. BH2 also comes with 45 concurrent entry processes, which better supports busier forums, ecommerce stores or content driven sites that experience short bursts of simultaneous visitors throughout the day.

Business hosting with this provider is positioned as an enterprise level shared platform aimed at customers that want strong privacy and security guarantees without managing their own server. Marketing copy emphasises that websites are the key to reaching customers and that the infrastructure combines free DDoS protection, Imunify360 hardening and LiteSpeed web server technology to deliver both performance and protection. LiteSpeed handles static content and PHP much more efficiently than legacy Apache stacks, which reduces page load times and allows busy sites to stay responsive during periods of high concurrency. A dedicated web application firewall inspects traffic in real time and filters common exploits such as SQL injection and cross site scripting before they reach applications, while Imunify360 monitors file changes and blocks malware uploads. Unlimited websites, domains and email accounts can be created on each business hosting account, making it straightforward to consolidate multiple projects or client sites on the same platform.

Every plan in the business hosting range includes automated SSL from Let's Encrypt, DDoS filtering with mitigation capacity quoted in the terabit range, and unmetered bandwidth so network usage is not capped by a fixed monthly allowance. The company describes itself as a hosting provider built as a safe place for freedom of speech, journalism and whistleblower projects, with data centres in privacy friendly European locations such as Iceland, Finland and Romania and an emphasis on keeping personal data requirements to a minimum. Accounts are managed through cPanel, giving access to email, DNS, metrics and application tools in a standard interface. Support is provided through tickets, email and telephone, and is promoted as being available around the clock for incident response and configuration questions. The business hosting service operates under a 99.9 percent uptime commitment and accepts privacy focused payments like cryptocurrencies alongside bank transfer and PayPal, which fits the overall positioning as an offshore, security conscious hosting platform.
