*📜 Plan description

Professional email and groupware service priced per user, delivering 75 GB mailbox storage with enterprise features as an affordable alternative to Microsoft Exchange. Access your mail, calendars, contacts and tasks via powerful webmail (drag-and-drop), desktop clients (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail), and mobile with DirectPush/ActiveSync on iOS and Android; POP3/IMAP and SMTP over SSL/TLS are supported for secure transport. Administration is browser-based so you can add users, aliases, groups and resources quickly without running your own mail server. Integrated spam and multi-engine antivirus filtering reduce junk and threats; multiple full backups per day allow recovery of deleted items for up to 30 days. The platform runs in redundant Swiss data centers with modern server hardware (e.g., dual hexa-core Xeon with SSD-assisted storage), multi-redundant Gigabit uplinks, and a documented 99.9% network availability target. Ticket/helpdesk offers same-day responses during business days with a guaranteed Business Support SLA; phone support is available in office hours and an emergency hotline exists for critical incidents. Price is shown per user per month; orders can add new users to an existing tenant or start a new subscription.

Business Mail focuses on reliable, secure communication for SMEs and teams: professional branding on your own domain, GDPR-aligned hosting in Switzerland, team-ready shared calendars/contacts and tasks, flexible access across web/mobile/clients, and easy domain/mailbox administration without the overhead of running Exchange yourself.

📄 Editorial Review

Metanet (founded in 2000 in Zurich) is a long-standing Swiss hosting provider focused on domains, mail and web hosting, VPS/cloud servers, managed servers, and security. They operate more than 1,000 server systems and serve 60,000+ customers, with a team of ~30 employees in Switzerland. The founders are Tilia and Mirco Schnarwiler; the company became part of the dogado group in 2022 and from 2024 part of group.ONE. Metanet emphasizes Swiss reliability, quick support response times, and clear quality guarantees.

Shared Web Hosting (METAhost) targets individuals and SMBs that want fast Swiss hosting and hands-on support. Plans include 100% SSD storage, HTTP/2, nginx caching, PHP 7.4–8.3, MariaDB 10.6, SSH, Git/Composer, free Let’s Encrypt SSL, multi-domain hosting, and geo-redundant offsite backups. Plesk is the admin layer, and there’s an integrated website builder. A 30-day money-back guarantee, guaranteed business support SLAs, and 99.9% network availability underpin the offer.
WordPress Hosting adds a WordPress-tuned stack (caching, MariaDB, sufficient resources) with one-click installs, Plesk WP Toolkit (staging/cloning, bulk plugin/theme ops), WP-CLI, restore points, and security hardening. It aims at fast page loads, simple management, and Swiss data-residency.
VPS / Cloud Server provides flexible KVM-based virtual servers in ISO 27001-certified Swiss data centers, powered by enterprise hardware and distributed storage. Customers choose distro (AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian), get full root, 250 Mbps guaranteed uplink (burst to 1 Gbps), reverse DNS on request, unlimited traffic, and the option to add Plesk and Let’s Encrypt with one click. Sustainability is a theme: service is operated with CO₂-neutral electricity.
Managed Cloud Server is for teams that want Metanet to handle ops: 24/7 monitoring, automatic patches, backups, SSL, a dedicated IP, 99.9% network and 99.6% system availability targets, plus guaranteed business support. Resources are configurable and can be scaled as needs evolve.
Virtual Data Center (IaaS) delivers a private resource pool (CPU/RAM/storage) with high-performance distributed storage (triple replication; SSD-first reads), KVM hypervisor, 14-day managed backups, unlimited VMs within quota, optional private networking, and the same 250 Mbps/VM guaranteed uplink (burst 1 Gbps).

Rounding out the catalog are reseller hosting (white-label with neutral name servers, Plesk Host Edition, developer tools, offsite backups), server rental/hosting (root access, scalable resources), domain registration (e.g., .com promo), and Business Mail (groupware features, webmail, mobile sync, SSL, spam/virus filtering, frequent backups).

Metanet.ch provides services only in German. By not offering English—and at least Italian or French, as peers like Infomaniak and Hoststar.ch do—they miss meaningful demand from multilingual customers within Switzerland.

Their website makes Reseller, Shared Web Hosting, Virtual Data Center, and Business Mail difficult to discover and comparatively underemphasized. The spotlight is placed almost exclusively on VPS and Cloud, which can obscure the rest of the catalog and hinder plan selection for broader audiences.
