*📜 Plan description
Entry-level Virtual Data Center resource pool designed for small private cloud deployments and multi-VM test beds. It provides 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB distributed storage and 3 IPv4 addresses. Traffic is unmetered; per-VM bandwidth is guaranteed at 250 Mbit/s with bursts up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for web stacks, API services and development pipelines. The KVM hypervisor with self-service orchestration lets you create, start, stop and resize VMs at any time; there is no hard limit on VM count beyond your resource pool. Managed Backup is included with 14-day retention. The storage layer replicates data threefold across systems; the primary copy is kept on SSD for faster reads and integrity checks guard against silent data corruption. Optional private networks are available for isolated segments; ready-to-use Linux templates accelerate provisioning and Windows templates can be prepared on request. The environment runs in ISO 27001-certified Swiss facilities with CO2-neutral power and defined support response times.
All VDC plans share the same core pillars: self-service virtual infrastructure on KVM, resilient distributed storage with replication and checksums, unmetered traffic, redundant 10-Gbps networking and 24/7 assistance backed by a 99.9% network availability commitment—so teams can scale from a small footprint without changing platforms.

📄 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.
