*📜 Plan description
.COM Domain Registration is the required domain product entry for Hostpoint domain services. The registration price is CHF 10.00 for the first year and the renewal reference is CHF 20.00 per year. Domain registration is billed yearly, while transfer and administrative changes are treated as one-time actions depending on the selected extension. The domain service includes free DNS hosting, DNS zone editor access, redirects, domain name server management, a single login for domains and services, an intuitive domain control panel and support from Hostpoint as an ICANN-certified Swiss registrar.
The domain platform is designed for individual domains as well as large portfolios. Bulk domain orders can include up to 500 domains per order, and portfolio pricing can be requested from 50 or more .ch domains. Domain transfers are supported with a transfer code from the current registrar, and activation usually completes within a few hours, although some extensions can take 48 to 72 hours. Known domain-related prices visible around the Hostpoint domain offering include .ch registration and renewal at CHF 15.00 per year with free transfer in the example, .swiss at CHF 90.00 for the first year with renewal listed at CHF 120.00 per year, and .zuerich at CHF 79.00 for the first year with renewal listed at CHF 129.00 per year. Domain Shield can be added for CHF 12.00 per year and combines domain loss protection with data protection through the trustee service Swiss Domain Trustee AG, helping keep the domain active, protect the owner address in Switzerland and forward legitimate inquiries to the customer. Payment can be made by credit card and other Hostpoint billing methods, with support through email, phone, WhatsApp and contact form.

📄 Editorial Review
Hostpoint AG is one of Switzerland’s most established web hosting providers, headquartered in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland. The company has been active since 2001, when Markus Gebert, Sandro Bertschinger and Claudius Röllin started the business with a focus on affordable web space, e-mail and simple hosting management for Swiss customers. Today, Hostpoint remains a Swiss, owner-managed provider with around 130 employees and more than 1.3 million managed domains.Hostpoint is best suited for customers who want Swiss-based hosting, domains, e-mail, website creation and managed infrastructure from one provider. Their portfolio includes Shared Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Managed Flex Server, Domains, Domain Shield / Domain Privacy, DNS, SSL Certificates, E-mail & Cloud Office, Drive, Meet, Website Builder / Sites, Webshop, SEO tools and Migration Services. Their platform is strongly oriented toward Swiss data residency, with hosting infrastructure located in Switzerland.
The shared hosting line is organized into Standard, Smart and Business plans. These packages include NVMe SSD storage, unlimited mailboxes with 5 GB per mailbox, MariaDB databases, SFTP/SSH access, FreeSSL, DDoS protection, backups and the proprietary Hostpoint Control Panel. Higher-tier plans increase storage, domain capacity, database limits and backup retention, while Business adds a stronger support level.
For customers needing more power, Managed Flex Server is Hostpoint’s premium managed server line. It includes dedicated vCPU/RAM allocations, NVMe storage, managed Apache, Nginx, PHP, MariaDB, Valkey, Memcached and optional custom services. This is not a cheap unmanaged VPS product, but rather a managed Swiss server environment for agencies, business websites, larger WordPress projects, applications and customers who prefer Hostpoint to handle server operation.
Hostpoint is also strong in domains. They are an ICANN-accredited registrar and provide domain registration, domain transfers, DNS hosting, DNS zone management, redirects, name server management, Domain Shield, Domain Privacy, Whois lookup and Swiss-specific extensions such as .ch and .swiss. Their Domain Shield service adds protection against domain loss and data misuse through Swiss Domain Trustee AG.
The e-mail side is also well developed. Cloud Office plans include professional e-mail, calendars, contacts, Drive storage, online documents, real-time collaboration and migration support. Hostpoint Meet adds free, ad-free video conferencing over Swiss servers, with encrypted connections, screen sharing, chat, password protection and no stated time or participant limit.
Their website and ecommerce tools target non-technical users as well. Sites is the website builder product with templates, drag-and-drop editing, AI text support, multilingual website options, FreeSSL and included e-mail. Webshop packages include ecommerce hosting, product catalogs, payment options such as PayPal, PostFinance, Saferpay, Mollie and Twint, SEO tools, Google Shopping options, vouchers and integrations depending on plan level.
Hostpoint’s website and customer environment are localized in English, German, French and Italian, which makes them practical for Switzerland’s multilingual market. Their product currency is mainly Swiss francs CHF.

😁 My need was to buy and manage some domains for both professional and personal use, and after a significant amount of research I settled on Hostpoint. The deciding factors were that it must be based in Switzerland, must have a good control panel (primarily for DNS), the control panel must have an English option (my German, French, and Italian are all pretty bad), must have private registrations, and should have reasonable prices.
Hostpoint hit all of those nicely. There are cheaper Swiss-based registrars, but Hostpoint was about average price-wise. Their control panel for managing domains is at worst decent, and in quite a few places good.
In very short order I was able to set up an account, purchase a handful of domains, and get them configured without any assistance from a human being at Hostpoint. The interface was perfectly clear and usable.
My experience with Hostpoint was very good, no problems at all, and overall positive.

😠 Hostpoint = Horrible
Cannot login. Payment needs to go by FAX. What a horror company. Sight lists "Your server is suspended."
