📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Hosting.url.com.tw, widely known in Taiwan as 智邦生活館 or URL@智邦生活館, is a long-established Taiwanese provider of web hosting, business email, domains and website services. The brand began in 1997 through network-equipment manufacturer Accton Technology (accton.com), initially operating one of Taiwan’s early free-email platforms and serving approximately 2.5 million email users during that period.

The service is operated by E-DIRECT CORPORATION, legally registered in Taiwan as 易達網股份有限公司. The company was incorporated on May 4, 2000, under registration number 70555973. Its early development included a joint venture between Chinadotcom and Accton Technology, announced in 2000 with initial ownership of 60% and 40%, respectively. The corporate structure later became closely connected with Accton Technology, which represents all 800,000 issued shares. Huang Kuo-hsiu is the registered chairman, and the organization employs approximately 30 people.

Commercial business email was introduced in 2002, followed by web hosting in May 2005. This background gives the company considerably more operating history than many Taiwanese shared-hosting providers. Its services are primarily suitable for individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, web designers, ecommerce operators, nonprofit organizations and companies that prefer Taiwanese billing, local infrastructure and telephone assistance.

The product catalog covers Linux shared hosting, Windows hosting, Microsoft SQL Server hosting, managed Linux VPS, Windows VPS, dedicated servers, WordPress hosting, application hosting, reseller hosting, bulk email hosting, image hosting, business email, domain registration, DNS management, SSL certificates, website builders, web design, ecommerce systems, booking systems, security scanning and AI application hosting.

Linux shared hosting begins with an Economy package containing 10 GB of storage, 200 GB of monthly traffic, one email account, FTP access and SSL support. Larger plans increase storage to between 25 GB and 100 GB, monthly traffic to between 750 GB and 1 TB, and add MySQL or MariaDB databases, multiple hosted domains and additional email accounts.

The Linux environment is primarily managed and is better suited to conventional company websites than to developers requiring unrestricted command-line administration. Customers receive a structured hosting environment with account tools, database access and technical support without having to maintain the underlying server.

Windows shared hosting supports Classic ASP, ASP.NET, Microsoft Access databases and .NET applications. A separate Microsoft SQL Server range combines Windows hosting with licensed MSSQL database resources and Plesk administration. These packages remain useful for Taiwanese companies maintaining older ASP, .NET Framework or SQL Server applications.

The cPanel-based application-hosting range supports common PHP applications and includes tools for managing files, domains, databases, email and SSL certificates. WordPress hosting adds LiteSpeed technology, caching, automatic installation and a configuration optimized for WordPress. The larger WordPress package also supports WooCommerce and is more appropriate for ecommerce websites.

Linux VPS and Windows VPS plans provide isolated CPU, memory, SSD storage, traffic allocations and independent IP addresses. These products are primarily managed VPS services rather than unrestricted self-managed cloud servers. SSH, remote administrative access and local SMTP functionality are restricted on several configurations and may require prior approval or a customized arrangement.

Dedicated-server service includes hardware installation, operating-system setup, monitoring, hardware repair, failure notifications and manual restart assistance inside a Taiwanese telecommunications data center. Standard remote SSH access is not automatically included, and reseller use is restricted.

The base dedicated-server specification includes two 500 GB SATA drives, RAID, 2 Mbps bandwidth and 150 GB of monthly traffic. These specifications are modest compared with modern dedicated-server platforms, so customers should obtain an updated hardware, storage and bandwidth quotation before ordering.

Specialized hosting services extend beyond conventional shared hosting and VPS products. Separate packages are available for WordPress, newsletter delivery, private office collaboration, ecommerce campaigns, high-traffic promotional events and online-auction image hosting.

The newsletter server includes phpList and campaign reporting tools. The cloud-office package uses a private Rocket.Chat environment for internal communication. Shopping and event servers can receive temporary increases in CPU, memory, traffic and bandwidth for campaigns or periods of unusually high demand.

Reseller hosting is available through cPanel-based shared and VPS packages. The entry reseller package includes 40 GB of storage, 1 TB of monthly traffic and support for 20 hosted domains. The larger shared reseller plan supports as many as 50 domains. VPS reseller hosting provides dedicated resource allocations and is more suitable for agencies managing multiple customer websites.

The AI Hosting range combines retrieval-augmented generation, business knowledge bases, configurable assistants and external function calls. Text AI Hosting supports text and CSV knowledge sources, 5 GB of knowledge-base storage, 500,000 monthly tokens and as many as ten assistants.

File AI Hosting expands the service to 10 GB of storage, one million monthly tokens, twenty assistants and multimodal processing for documents, audio, images and visual content. Different language-model backends can be connected, while assistants can interact with websites, LINE accounts, booking platforms, inventory systems and internal databases.

Website creation is another major part of the business. The proprietary 10-Minute Website Builder includes responsive templates, hosting, SSL and visual editing tools. General, Advanced and Business editions progressively add ecommerce, membership, promotional and multilingual functionality.

The multilingual website builder supports Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, French and Spanish. This is useful for Taiwanese companies serving international markets even though the hosting storefront itself remains primarily oriented toward Traditional Chinese-speaking customers.

Additional web-development services include complete website production, content uploading, conversion of older websites into responsive layouts, commercial templates, one-page company websites, WordPress development, Joomla, Site.pro, mobile website tools and accommodation-booking systems.

Ecommerce functions include shopping carts, product and inventory management, discount systems, customer accounts, card payments, ATM payments, convenience-store payment codes, logistics integrations and electronic invoicing.

Bizmail business email is one of the company’s most mature service lines. Accounts are available with 1 GB or 20 GB of storage and include responsive webmail, spam filtering, malware scanning, domain-based addresses, aliases, SSL/TLS connectivity and mobile-device support.

Business editions add email auditing and complete message archiving, with archived messages retained for as long as five years. Optional services include larger attachments, additional storage, SMS, Fax2Email, Web2Fax and optimized delivery between Taiwan and mainland China.

The email platform separates mail reception, storage, webmail and outgoing delivery across redundant systems. This architecture reduces the risk of one server failure interrupting every email function simultaneously. Dedicated email-server packages are also available for organizations requiring larger account volumes or stricter administrative separation.

Domain registration, domain transfers, DNS hosting, SSL certificates, S/MIME certificates and vulnerability scanning complete the product range. DNS administration is included with hosting and email services, and customers can configure external A and MX records where necessary.

The company achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification in 2025. Two-factor authentication is available for the proprietary administrator portal, webmail and cPanel login areas.

The website uses a responsive design that works on desktop and mobile devices. Several technical references remain older than the surrounding interface, including CentOS 6, older PHP branches, Windows Server 2012 R2 and dated dedicated-server specifications. Customers should therefore confirm the actual operating system, PHP version, database version, hardware generation and administrative-access conditions assigned to a new service.

The main website language is Traditional Chinese, and no complete multilingual storefront exists. Webmail supports Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Japanese, while the website builder can produce multilingual customer websites. Prices are charged in New Taiwan dollars, shown as NT$ or TWD.
