📄 Editorial Review

KreativMedia is a long-established Swiss hosting provider operated by Kreativ Media GmbH in Zurich. The company has been active since 2000 and focuses strongly on "Swissness": Swiss ownership, Swiss infrastructure and services aimed primarily at Swiss and neighbouring-country customers. Their platform currently runs over 300 systems in Swiss data centers and hosts more than 90,000 websites for around 45,000 customers, which positions them as a mature mid-sized player rather than a small boutique host.

The core portfolio revolves around classic shared hosting and specialized WordPress hosting, complemented by cloud servers, reseller hosting, domains, e-mail and a full website toolkit. Under "Hosting" they offer Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Cloud Server (Root Cloud Server and Managed Cloud Server) and Reseller Hosting. On top of that, KreativMedia provides a Website Builder, Online Shop packages, a "Do It For Me" website creation service and a Bookings system for appointments. Domains (including special Swiss extensions such as .swiss and .zuerich), "Mail & Office" products (Mail Hosting, Business Mail, Office Mail), SMTP relay, MX filtering, migration services, SSL certificates and an affiliate program round out a very complete product set for small businesses, agencies and freelancers.

Shared Web Hosting is structured into three main packages – Webhosting Star, Galaxy and Cosmos. All plans are hosted on SSD storage in Swiss data centers and include generous allocations of disk space (100–500 GB), domain accounts (20–100) and MySQL databases, plus unlimited e-mail addresses and a website builder licence. Security and reliability are built in: daily backups with up to 30 days retention, daily malware scans, integrated DDoS protection, free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt, SSH access with developer tools and optional two-factor authentication for both the control panel and customer portal.

The WordPress Hosting line mirrors the shared hosting structure but is tuned specifically for WordPress. Plans (WordPress Star, Galaxy and Cosmos) use the same SSD-backed infrastructure but add WP Toolkit, one-click installation, automatic updates and WordPress-oriented security recommendations. Each package allows several WordPress sites (3, 5 or 10) under one account, and includes the same daily backup, malware scanning, FreeSSL, DDoS mitigation and free migration benchmarks as the classic web hosting. For many users, this is likely the sweet spot: a managed-feeling WordPress environment on top of a standard Plesk platform.

For more demanding workloads, KreativMedia offers Root Cloud Servers and Managed Cloud Servers hosted exclusively in Swiss ISO 27001-certified data centers. Root Cloud Servers target technically skilled users who want full root access, while Managed Cloud Servers are aimed at customers who prefer KreativMedia to handle system management on top of Plesk. Both lines rely on clustered block storage, AlmaLinux, 250 Mbit/s connections with unlimited traffic and scaling options up to 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM and 2 TB storage. Security and reliability are consistent with the shared platform: daily backups, off-site copies, DDoS protection, FreeSSL, and 99.9% network availability.

Domains, Mail & Office and website tools are integrated tightly with hosting. Customers can register and transfer a wide range of TLDs, including dedicated sections for .swiss and .zuerich, complemented by domain tips and volume discounts. Mail Hosting, Business Mail and Office Mail provide options from simple domain e-mail to more advanced groupware and office-style collaboration. Tools such as SMTP relay and MX filter target organizations that send larger volumes of e-mail or need extra spam and virus filtering. The Website Builder and Online Shop modules use the same underlying hosting platform and are positioned for users who want to create sites and shops quickly, supported by AI-assisted tools and templates.

Overall, KreativMedia comes across as a full-service Swiss hosting provider with a clear focus on local infrastructure, strong security and an approachable support culture, geared towards small and medium businesses, agencies and technically interested end-users who appreciate Plesk rather than more generic cPanel environments.
