📄 Editorial Review

Fornex is a European hosting provider operated primarily through Fornex Hosting S.L. in Spain, with additional legal entities in Cyprus and the United States. The company presents itself as an international provider with more than 16 years of hosting experience, while LinkedIn lists 2007 as the founding year for Fornex Hosting S.L. This places Fornex among the more mature independent hosting brands in Europe, especially for customers looking for multi-location infrastructure, NVMe-based hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and managed technical assistance.

Their current portfolio is broader than classic shared hosting. Fornex offers Shared Web Hosting, VPS / Virtual Private Servers, Dedicated Servers, S3-compatible cloud storage, VPN services, server management, migration help, domain-related support, and high-availability infrastructure options. Their services are mainly aimed at customers needing reliable European and international hosting rather than a simple low-cost website package only.

The shared hosting plans are based on NVMe storage, cPanel, CloudLinux / CageFS isolation, free SSL, daily backups, unlimited bandwidth, SSH access, Softaculous one-click applications, email hosting, website builder tools, antivirus protection, and free migration. Plans are structured by the number of websites, CPU/RAM resources, and storage allocation, making the shared hosting line more resource-defined than many basic unlimited-only hosts.

The VPS range is built around KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, full root access, Linux or Windows operating systems, DDoS protection, geo-distributed DNS, and a control area for restart, reinstall, monitoring, and upgrades. Fornex provides both preconfigured VPS plans and custom server configurations, including x86-64 and ARM-based options.

Dedicated servers are one of the stronger parts of the Fornex portfolio. Their bare-metal range includes Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon, Ampere ARM, NVMe, SSD, HDD, GPU, Windows RDP, ESXi, database, backup, high-load, and blockchain-oriented configurations. Dedicated servers come with full root access, IP-KVM/IPMI access, DDoS protection, monitoring, 1 Gbps uplink options, software preinstallation, and basic server management.

Fornex also provides S3-compatible storage for backups, media, archives, and object storage workloads, plus a separate VPN service with protocols such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP, XRay, and Outline. This gives the company a more infrastructure-oriented profile than a traditional shared-hosting-only provider.

A useful update compared with older Fornex information is the data center footprint. The current public locations focus on Germany, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States, and Switzerland. Older references to locations such as Moscow or Kiev should not be treated as current core product locations for the main shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated server lineup.

Their website is available in English and Russian (strange for not having Spanish), with currency display options including EUR and USD. In the Terms of Service, Fornex uses euro as the invoice currency, with other currencies treated as convenience conversions.
