*📜 Plan description

Medium raises capacity to 10 mailboxes with 10 GB mailspace each (?100 GB total). The card lists contacts, calendar, tasks and scheduling; audio/video chat and file storage are not included here. First-year billing is shown as $47.88 total (=$3.99/mo) with renewal at $83.88 total (=$6.99/mo). This plan is a practical default for small businesses that need separate role accounts (info@, sales@, accounts@) and more storage headroom while keeping administration simple.

The email lineup uses the same interface and security baseline across tiers, so upgrading later adds capabilities without relearning tools. Pricing and renewal are clearly stated on the card, and the 99.9% uptime line is consistent across the series.

📄 Editorial Review

Hosting.com is the rebranded successor to A2 Hosting (transition in 2025 under World Host Group, backed by Oakley Capital with lenders Barings and Bain Capital). The premium domain hosting.com was acquired by World Host Group around December 2024 for roughly $2 million. They position themselves as a global, performance-first platform powering 3M+ websites across 40+ locations, with a people-first ethos and modern stack (AMD EPYC, Samsung NVMe, Anycast DNS, LiteSpeed). The group lists corporate presence across London, Nairobi, Cologne, Cali, Melbourne, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jupiter, Sofia, Plovdiv, Manila, and Denpasar. You can still read the old defunct hosting.com reviews.

The catalog is broad and familiar: Shared Hosting (including Hosting for WordPress), Reseller Hosting, VPS (managed & self-managed, Linux/Windows), Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS), Email Hosting, Domain Registration, SSL certificates, an AI Website Builder, and Done-for-you Web Design. Dedicated servers are flagged as "coming soon." Messaging leans on transparent pricing, 99.9% uptime commitments, security hardening, and free site migrations.

A practical caveat right now: the brand changeover has created social-media/account confusion and they note they’re still reorganizing; they also don’t publish a physical address, which hurts perceived transparency for a company of this size. During the transition, they acknowledge some services may be affected.

Shared Hosting & WordPress. Plans advertise NVMe storage, LiteSpeed acceleration, weekly off-server backups (30-day restore window), WAF/malware/DDoS protection, and free SSL. "Hosting for WordPress" spans from entry options to enterprise, including a managed WordPress tier via Rocket.net for customers needing edge CDN/WAF and stricter uptime targets.

Hosting.com bought Rocket.net in August 2025 from HostPapa Group. HostPapa owned Rocket.net, which was acquired in May 2021 and integrated into their growth accelerator program, providing a premium managed WordPress hosting platform to HostPapa customers. Ben Gabler, Rocket founder, became Chief Product Officer at hosting.com.

Reseller Hosting. Fully white-label cPanel/WHM with WHMCS or Blesta, automated billing/provisioning, free migrations, and security features. The pitch is performance (LiteSpeed + NVMe) and an ability to scale accounts as the client base grows.

VPS & VDS. Managed VPS includes cPanel, CloudLinux, Imunify360, daily backups, and tuning/monitoring by in-house staff. Self-managed VPS offers full root, Linux choice, and on-demand scaling. Managed VDS is positioned as "like dedicated, but virtual," with isolated resources, redundancy, and cPanel/CloudLinux included—aimed at heavier workloads without bare-metal complexity.

Email, Builder & Web Design. Email plans focus on branded mail with calendars/contacts, security, and upgrade paths. The AI site builder targets fast starts; the Web Design service handles build-and-run on WordPress, with ongoing updates.
