France Serv Max, € 45.00/mo. on Linux Shared

Offre Max is the top shared hosting tier designed for storage hungry projects and cloud style uses where a large amount of space is more important than the number of sites. FTP disk can be scaled from 500 GB up to 3 TB, with 100 to 500 GB allocated to mail storage and 50 to 100 GB to MySQL or MariaDB databases. The package includes 60 to 100 databases and the same range of additional SQL accounts as the Pro plan, so agencies, communities or internal IT teams can dedicate separate databases and credentials to each client or application. This capacity makes Max suitable for large media libraries, collaborative tools such as Nextcloud instances, file sharing areas or backup repositories, while still benefiting from a managed shared hosting environment rather than a VPS. As with Offre Pro, customers get up to 200 mailboxes or redirects, around 90,000 outgoing messages per month, Mailman3 mailing lists and full access to multi site FTP, sFTP, Rsync and WebFTP for encrypted and scripted transfers. The PHP configuration is even more generous, with a memory limit of 2 GB per script and a maximum execution time of twelve minutes, helping heavy jobs such as imports, report generation or complex plug ins run without hitting technical ceilings. Max naturally keeps unmetered web traffic, unlimited domains and subdomains, AWStats statistics, extensive logs, the complete DNS toolset and Lets Encrypt SSL, and it remains possible to adjust quotas within the offer or downgrade later if usage decreases. For organisations that want very high storage on servers located in France while keeping management simple, this plan is the logical top end of the shared hosting range.

All shared hosting plans at FranceServ run on Linux Debian servers located in several French datacenters operated by Scaleway, with a small pool of professional machines configured in high availability and load balancing. Storage combines SSD and HDD disks in RAID 1 and RAID 5 and the entire platform is monitored every minute by external probes, with response time and uptime statistics published on a public status page. Customers can choose from many PHP versions from 5.6 up to the latest 8.x branches in a chrooted environment, enable or disable system level PHP functions and rely on tools like ImageMagick, FFmpeg, PHP accelerators and the ionCube loader for heavier applications. Every account includes unlimited hosted domains and subdomains, a full DNS manager with alerts when name servers fail, detailed AWStats traffic reports, Apache with IPv4 and IPv6 and support for rewrite rules, plus free TLS certificates through Lets Encrypt or custom certificates. Mail services are tightly integrated with hosting and provide SMTP, IMAP and POP access, a Roundcube webmail interface, antispam based on rspamd and antivirus filtering via ClamAV, with optional Mailman3 mailing lists on the larger plans. Daily backups of FTP data, mailboxes and SQL databases are executed on a separate backup server and can be downloaded from the customer area, with retention spanning from several days to about a month. The in house management panel exposes multi site FTP, WebFTP with antivirus scans, cron style scheduled tasks, log downloads for web, mail and FTP, as well as one click installers and extensive French documentation. Contracts have no minimum duration, renewals are never forced by automatic rebilling and invoices can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly. Technical assistance is handled directly by the FranceServ team via email, telephone, the public forum and an IRC channel, which matches their positioning as a proximity focused French host rather than a mass market brand.
