📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Here-Host (Bulgaria) presents a classic performance-first pitch—fast provisioning, sizeable bandwidth, and hardware-level DDoS protection—wrapped in a value angle with inexpensive colocation and unmanaged dedicated servers. On paper, the mix looks attractive for cost-sensitive projects. However, as of 2025 the website appears neglected and error-ridden, which may indicate the business is no longer operating. Treat everything below as historical positioning and verify status directly before considering any purchase.

Service Portfolio

Dedicated & Storage Servers

They advertise a wide range of unmanaged dedicated configurations built on Dell and Supermicro platforms, including older high-core Intel Xeon lines (E5-2683 v4 / E5-2695 v4). Marketing highlights include unshared ports up to 20 Gbps, unmetered bandwidth, free migration, and rapid delivery "within a couple of hours." A separate storage server category targets bulk capacity, though concrete drive layouts and RAID policies are not spelled out.

VPS Servers

A standard VPS tier accompanies the dedicated line. The messaging leans on the same network and DDoS posture, but lacks the deeper specs (vCPU generations, NUMA pinning, storage tiers) that power users usually expect to see.

Colocation

Colo is a core offer, from single-RU footprints to private suites. They promote a configurator for tailoring cabinet space and power, and 24/7 help for hands-on work in the data hall.

Domains & Software Licenses

They also sell domain registrations via a self-service panel and tout software licenses (e.g., Windows 10, Windows Server, Microsoft Office) issued with EU-style documentation for companies.

Infrastructure & Data Center

They have a sizeable facility footprint with enterprise features:

• Space: 9,000 m2 combined, three data centers, 60 cm raised floors, private cages/suites.
• Power: Three independent 10 kV feeds into A+B+C transformer paths (~3,750 kVA total), on-site substation, six diesel generator groups (~4.8 MW), multiple (N+1) UPS banks (AC and -48 V DC), and large battery reserves.
• Cooling: Industrial HPAC, N+1 room cooling and humidity control, free-cooling capability, remote monitoring, spares on site, and 10–12 kW per rack design targets.
• Connectivity: Dual building entrances with diverse routes, meet-me rooms, segregated A+B overhead trays, and stocked optics for fast cross-connects.
• Fire Suppression: FM200 / IG-55, Siemens Cerberus VESDA, sensors above/below floor, fire-rated doors.
• Security/Compliance: ISO/IEC 27001:2013, partial PCI DSS 3.2.1 coverage (ch. 9 & 12), controlled access with RFID, CCTV, guards, lockable racks/cages, managed visitor logs.

Network & DDoS

Here-Host places the network front-and-center: a Juniper MX960 core, 10 Tbps stated capacity, and per-server offers from 500 Mbps to 20 Gbps. DDoS mitigation is hardware-based via Radware DefensePro 720, with a claimed 98% protection figure. As always, the practical value of such a claim depends on profile, scale, and tuning—and it benefits from a clear SLA, which isn’t published here.

Control & Portal

They promote a customer portal for ordering and management—rDNS, payments, service control, and traffic graphs—with an emphasis on straightforward UX. No mention of cPanel/Plesk for servers (these are unmanaged), though their shared tooling implies a consistent account experience across services.

Support

They repeatedly stress 24/7/365 assistance and "award-winning support," with free migration as a hook for new customers. The documentation reads ticket-first; real-time channels are not clearly detailed. For unmanaged dedicated/VPS, customers should expect infrastructure-level help only.

Pricing & Value

• Marketing references "no setup fee, no commitments" and monthly pricing starting from €40.
• A "Low Budget" dedicated Light plan is listed at €50/mo.
• Colocation is advertised from €39/mo.

These figures conflict slightly across pages—another sign the site hasn’t been maintained—so treat them as indicative rather than definitive.

Guarantees

• Uptime: A 99.9% network uptime statement appears in the copy. No formal SLA document, metrics, or credits are published alongside it here.
• Money-Back: No money-back policy is shown for these server/colo offers.
• DDoS: The 98% effectiveness claim is marketing language; there’s no documented remediation window or attack class coverage in this text.

Pros & Caveats

What stands out

• Ambitious network posture (MX960 core, high port speeds, unmetered bandwidth).
• Hardware-based DDoS and enterprise-style data-center specs.
• Low entry pricing for colo and dedicated, with fast delivery and free migrations.

Where it falls short

• Operational uncertainty in 2025: the site shows errors and appears abandoned.
• Sparse, inconsistent plan details (hardware generations, storage topologies, SLAs).
• No published money-back terms; uptime stated without a clear credit framework.
