*📜 Plan description

Entry-level Linux shared hosting with the bare essentials for a small personal site or simple landing page. Includes 1 domain on the account, 5 email accounts (5 GB each, up to 50 simultaneous recipients), HTTP/2, unlimited traffic and a 1 Gbit/s internet connection. Although storage is minimal and not promoted as a selling point here, the package is built on the same Swiss infrastructure used by larger tiers, with the same free SSL (Let’s Encrypt) and GDPR-compliant handling. Ideal if you just need a basic presence with professional email and an easy start.

All Hoststar web hosting runs on modern Linux with Apache/PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, managed through the in-house My Panel dashboard. Free SSL certificates are auto-provisioned for every domain and subdomain. Cloud storage and web apps are integrated, and the platform is monitored 24/7 for stability and performance. Unlimited domains can be connected on higher tiers, and migration assistance and additional services (SEO tools, statistics, pictures library) are available. Free support is available 24/7 and a 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

📄 Editorial Review

HOSTSTAR.chMultimedia Networks AG has been active since 1996 and is headquartered in Fraubrunnen (BE), Switzerland. With a ~30-person hosting team and a clear "best tech at fair prices" vision, they target European customers (also via hoststar.at, pricing shown in EUR) and keep fees transparent. The portfolio is broad: Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting, vServers (VPS), Managed Servers, plus Windows hosting, a website builder/Webshop, domains, Cloud storage, Mail, VPN, and various security tools.

Shared hosting focuses on speed and ease: SSD/NVMe storage, current Linux/Apache stacks, recent PHP/Perl, external MySQL/SSH access, free Let’s Encrypt SSL on every domain/subdomain, and one-click installation of 300+ web apps/CMS. Monitoring and statistics are exposed in real time, and an integrated SEO tool helps with on-page basics. Cloud storage is included with hosting packages.

Reseller hosting is white-label and GDPR-aligned. Notable capabilities include branded customer panels, editable error pages, full log file access, daily backups, DDoS protection, SSL, and firewalling. For Windows workloads, the WinEntry package (from CHF 18.90/mo) brings SSD performance, MSSQL, unlimited mailboxes (10 GB per mailbox), free SSL, and app installers—managed via Plesk accessed through My Panel.

On the server side, vServers are positioned for flexibility (root/admin rights, IPv4/IPv6, up to seven snapshots, 100 Mbit/s bandwidth, no setup fee) and can power web, cloud, or game servers. Managed server options address customers who want more resources without self-administration. A HoststarVPN add-on (powered by PrivateVPN) is offered—StarPlus hosting subscribers get it free; otherwise it’s 2.95/mo.
