📄 Editorial Review

Loopia AB is one of Sweden’s largest and longest-running web hosting and domain providers, with roots going back to 1999 when the company started as NetConnect. Over the years they have grown into a major Nordic registrar and host, managing well over 800,000 domain names for a broad customer base that ranges from larger organizations to local clubs and private site owners. Today they operate as part of the wider team.blue group, which brings additional scale and stability on the infrastructure and corporate side.

The core of their offer is a set of shared hosting packages (Home, Business, Business Plus) built on a mixed UNIX, Windows and "Autobahn" Nginx cluster platform. These plans are designed so that customers can run both UNIX and Windows hosting in parallel under one account, with unlimited domains and subdomains and generous quotas: roughly 75–200 GB of web space, 75–200 GB of email space and 750–2,000 GB of monthly traffic, depending on the package chosen. All hosting tiers include:

• Unlimited email accounts (POP3/IMAP) with spam and virus filtering, autoresponders and aliases
• Webmail access and multiple FTP accounts
• MariaDB/MySQL databases and optional MS SQL 2019 for Windows-based sites
• Modern PHP (8.1–8.4) with OPcache, Redis and FastCGI caching options
• Support for Perl and CGI-based Python as well as ASP.NET and classic ASP on the Windows side
• Daily backups of sites, email and databases, with hourly snapshots and multi-week retention
• Free Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS for all domains, plus paid Premium SSL for those who need it
• A One-Click Installer for WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart and other popular applications

On top of the regular shared hosting, Loopia offers a performance feature called Loopia Boost, which runs selected sites on a tuned Nginx cluster with additional caching and higher PHP memory limits. This is aimed at heavier WordPress or e-commerce projects that need faster response times and better handling of traffic spikes.

For customers whose primary need is professional email and a simple online presence, Loopia groups several services together: Email, Loopia Starter, and the normal hosting + email bundles. Loopia Starter is especially attractive for small businesses that want "website + mail" with minimal complexity. It combines up to 10 email accounts, 50 GB of shared email space, the drag-and-drop Loopia Sitebuilder, free SSL, a built-in newsletter tool and support every day of the week. It sits just below the full hosting plans: Starter covers basic online presence, while Home/Business/Business Plus add UNIX/Windows hosting, databases and more room for expansion.

Website creation tools are a major focus. Customers can choose between:

• WordPress installed via the one-click installer, optionally enhanced with Loopia Boost for extra performance
• Loopia Sitebuilder, a browser-based site builder with responsive templates, drag-and-drop content blocks (text, images, video, forms, social links), automatic SSL and an upgrade path to Sitebuilder Large + Online store with product catalog, payments and shipping options
• Classic CMS platforms such as Joomla and OpenCart for those who prefer traditional open-source setups

Domain services are another core pillar. Loopia is a very large registrar in Scandinavia, offering a wide variety of TLDs, including .se, .com, .nu and many others. Domains are managed through LoopiaDNS, which supports advanced DNS management, DynDNS, DNS backup and an API for automation. Customers who want to park domains with email forwarding and basic tools can also use a dedicated domain package.

For users needing more isolation and control than shared hosting, Loopia offers LoopiaVPS, a single but fairly capable virtual server configuration with:
2 GB RAM / 56 GB disk space / 2 vCPU cores / 1,000 GB traffic per month / Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses / SSH access and a screen console via the Customer Zone / Choice of Ubuntu or Debian Linux / Monitoring and an SLA, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee (excluding domains and some add-ons)

Beyond hosting and domains, Loopia’s portfolio includes standalone email hosting, Microsoft 365, SSL/TLS certificates, a newsletter tool, local listing and SEO helpers (LoopiaListings, LoopiaEasyListings, LoopiaSEO), Loopia Domain Protection, and an AI-assisted website builder under the LoopAI label. Combined, these services give customers a full toolkit for domain registration, email, websites and online marketing under one account.

The platform is run on renewable energy, and is of a long-standing Nordic provider with strong domain expertise, flexible shared hosting, and an easy progression from simple email to more advanced setups with WordPress, VPS and e-commerce.
