📄 Editorial Review

Future Hosting is an Irish web hosting and managed IT provider established in 2014. The company operates from Dublin within the Future Business group, alongside FutureMSP, Future Mail, Future Telecom and FBI Cloud. The wider organization is managed by Alex Gogan, CEO and Managing Director.

Its services are aimed primarily at Irish small businesses, professional firms, web agencies, online stores and organizations that prefer locally managed technical support. The portfolio covers shared web hosting, managed VPS, domain registration, SSL certificates, cloud storage, hosted telephone systems, Microsoft 365, website security, website migration, software development, OpenCart development, digital marketing and outsourced IT support.

Shared hosting forms the entry-level service range. The main packages include SSD storage, cPanel, email hosting, daily backups, DDoS protection, multiple PHP versions and application installation through Softaculous. The company also follows a no-overselling policy, which helps reduce the resource congestion commonly associated with inexpensive shared hosting environments.

The SoHo Hosting Intro package includes one shared virtual CPU, 512 MB RAM, 5 GB of storage and 20 GB of monthly data transfer. Higher packages increase the available resources to as much as four virtual CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 150 GB of storage and unlimited bandwidth. Larger accounts also include broader multi-domain allowances, SSH access and priority support.

Some shared-hosting limits remain inconsistent across the ordering information. The introductory package is restricted to one domain in one section, while another allocation refers to a much larger number of addon domains. The listed PHP range also ends with PHP 7.3, although modern websites should normally use a supported PHP 8.x release. Customers operating WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart or a custom PHP application should confirm the exact runtime versions and account limits before completing an order.

The managed VPS portfolio begins with two virtual CPU cores and extends to configurations with as many as 12 cores. These servers include enterprise SSD storage, full root access, CloudLinux and Imunify360. Server management and technical assistance are included, making the VPS range suitable for agencies, application hosting, online stores and busy websites that require more isolation than standard shared hosting.

Each VPS uses a 1 Gbps network connection with several layers of redundancy. The managed configuration is a significant advantage for customers that need a virtual server but do not want responsibility for routine operating-system administration, security maintenance and hosting-panel management.

Cloud storage is based on Nextcloud and includes file synchronization, controlled sharing, browser access and applications for desktop and mobile devices. The principal packages provide 150 GB or 500 GB of storage. This service is useful for small teams that need company-managed file storage within a European hosting environment.

Domain services cover new registrations, renewals and transfers, including Irish .ie domains. Future Hosting itself dates from 2014, while the wider organization has considerably longer experience with Irish domain registration and internet services.

SSL products include single-domain, multi-domain, wildcard and extended-validation certificates. Additional website-security services provide firewall protection, brute-force mitigation, denial-of-service controls, port-scan detection and ModSecurity integration.

Hosted business telephony is based on 3CX. The service supports new phone-system installations and migrations from existing configurations, while customers may retain their preferred 3CX license and telecommunications provider. The VoIP ordering interface contains incomplete product records and contradictory pricing, including an invalid negative monthly amount. A written quotation is therefore essential before purchasing the hosted telephone service.

Future Hosting also covers a broader range of managed business technology. Available services include Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, secure email gateways, live-chat systems, newsletters, search-engine optimization, social-media management, emergency IT assistance and fully outsourced IT support.

The OpenCart Future Business Edition is a complete e-commerce development package rather than an ordinary hosting plan. It combines OpenCart with internally developed extensions, automated deployment, visual page-building tools, a responsive theme and an expanded navigation system.

The client area supports a wide language selection, including English, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian. Most company and product information remains in English, while the extended localization is concentrated within the billing and support interface.

Prices can be displayed in EUR, GBP or USD, with euros used as the principal currency. The ordering system is functional but dated in several areas. Obsolete technical references, PHP warning output, incomplete product entries and unfinished sections reduce the overall polish of the purchasing experience.
