📄 Editorial Review

iFastNet is a United Kingdom web hosting provider operating since 2005. The current legal entity, I FASTNET LIMITED, was incorporated in England and Wales on February 16, 2012. Kevin John Myers has served as a director since incorporation, while Craig David Myers joined the board in 2013.
The company has built an unusually broad service portfolio covering Shared Hosting, Business Hosting, WHM Reseller Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Domain Registration, WordPress Hosting, Joomla Hosting, SSL Certificates, Email Hosting, Website Builder tools and free reseller hosting through MyOwnFreeHost. This range serves beginners, small businesses, developers, hosting resellers and experienced server administrators.

The shared hosting range starts with the Starter package, which includes 10 GB of NVMe storage, 250 GB of monthly traffic, one addon domain and one bundled domain. Super Premium increases the allowance to 20 addon domains and unlimited storage, while Ultimate Premium includes unlimited addon domains and bandwidth.

Unlimited resources remain governed by fair-use conditions, physical server capacity and inode limits. Starter accounts can use up to 380,000 inodes, while Super Premium and Ultimate Premium accounts receive allowances of up to 840,000 inodes.

Shared hosting includes cPanel, Softaculous, free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, a website builder, email hosting, SpamAssassin, MySQL, PostgreSQL and multiple PHP versions extending through PHP 8.4. Node.js, Ruby, POP3, IMAP, SMTP and webmail are also supported. Outgoing email is routed through MailChannels, helping reduce delivery problems caused by shared IP reputation.

The Business Hosting range is better suited to active commercial websites and resource-intensive applications. Business Standard includes 1 TB of monthly traffic, support for up to 100 addon domains, SSH access and an allowance of 1,000 outgoing emails per hour. Business Ultimate removes the stated bandwidth and addon-domain limits.

Business hosting accounts are placed on servers with no more than 50 customers. This creates a useful middle ground between conventional shared hosting and the additional administration required by a VPS.

The WHM Reseller Hosting service includes NVMe storage, cPanel, WHM, Softaculous, private nameservers, account overselling, unlimited databases, unlimited email accounts, free SSL certificates and domain registration API access. It can also be integrated with third-party billing and client-management platforms.
Reseller storage allocations range from 30 GB to 100 GB, while monthly traffic allowances range from 300 GB to 1.5 TB. A separate recurring charge applies to every active hosting account created by the reseller. Different sections of the service contain per-account rates of $0.30 and $0.40, so the final amount should be checked during checkout.

The VPS range starts with 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of NVMe storage, 125 GB of monthly traffic, one IPv4 address and full root access. Larger configurations reach approximately 7.1 GB of RAM, 250 GB of storage and 1 TB of monthly traffic. Linux operating systems, SSH and SFTP access, DDoS protection and administrator-level server control are included.

The VPS plan cards identify KVM as the virtualization platform. Some detailed technical tables still contain older OpenVZ, Linux kernel 3.10, PHP 5.4, Xeon E5645 and 100 Mbps network specifications. These sections belong to different generations of the VPS service, so customers should confirm the current hypervisor, processor generation, port speed, backup arrangements and storage configuration before ordering.

The current Dedicated Server configuration includes an Intel Xeon E-2274G or better processor, four cores, eight threads, 32 GB of RAM and either two 4 TB SATA drives or two 960 GB NVMe drives. The package also includes one IPv4 address and unlimited traffic through a 500 Mbps connection.
AlmaLinux 9 is installed by default, while custom operating-system, software and hardware arrangements can be requested. The standard server environment includes Hestia Control Panel, Apache, NGINX, PHP-FPM, multiple PHP versions from 5.6 through 8.4, MariaDB or MySQL, PostgreSQL, Exim, Dovecot, Roundcube, DNSSEC, Fail2Ban, ClamAV and SpamAssassin.

Dedicated servers also support two-factor authentication and remote backups through SFTP, FTP or rclone. Customers who prefer cPanel can add a paid license instead of using Hestia.

Specialized WordPress Hosting and Joomla Hosting packages include unlimited storage, 250 GB of traffic, 20 addon domains, 100 email accounts, a free .INFO domain and one-click application installation.

Some areas of the service still contain references to Fantastico and older software versions. The product range is functional and extensive, although portions of the website have not been updated as consistently as the underlying hosting platform.

Domain registration covers a large selection of generic, country-code and internationalized extensions. Free domains bundled with hosting are limited to extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us and .name.

A domain supplied free with a hosting package remains under iFastNet ownership rather than becoming an unrestricted customer asset. Transferring such a domain to another provider can require a $29.99 administration payment. This fee may be waived after the domain has remained with iFastNet for at least 12 months.

The main website is in English, while the customer portal supports Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese for Brazil, Portuguese for Portugal, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

The website works on desktop and mobile devices, but the design is visibly dated. Duplicate prices, inconsistent server specifications and legacy software references make the catalog less polished than newer hosting storefronts. The service range itself remains broad, but technical details should be confirmed when different sections contain conflicting information.
