📄 Editorial Review

Simple Hosting is a Swiss hosting provider based in Rümlang, Canton Zurich, with roots going back to 2002. Simple Hosting GmbH was entered in the Zurich commercial register on August 24, 2007, and operates under registration number CH-020.4.036.118-5 and UID/VAT number CHE-113.784.682. Christoph Mayer serves as managing director. The company remains relatively compact, while serving more than 1,000 customers and hosting over 2,300 domains.

The service portfolio covers Linux shared hosting, Windows hosting, WordPress hosting, reseller hosting, website building, Swiss cloud servers, managed servers, virtual datacenters, server housing, domain registration, email hosting, DNS, SSL certificates, email security and website security. The range is broad enough for private websites, businesses, developers and agencies, while more demanding customers can move from ordinary hosting to their own cloud or managed infrastructure without changing provider.

Linux web hosting starts with the Simple package, providing 25 GB NVMe SSD storage, two separate hosting accounts, support for 20 domains and subdomains, 50 email accounts, 512 MB RAM, SSL certificates and managed backups. Larger packages increase storage to 50 GB and 75 GB, allow additional hosting accounts and raise mailbox and memory limits.

The Linux platform works well for PHP and MySQL applications and includes access to hundreds of one-click applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OpenCart and PrestaShop. Development functions include Git, Composer, phpMyAdmin, SFTP and SSH on suitable packages. HTTP/3, OPcache, Nginx caching, malware protection and a web application firewall add useful performance and security features. Backups run several times each day, with additional backup copies stored at a separate location.

Windows hosting is available for customers requiring ASP.NET, .NET Core, MSSQL or other Microsoft technologies. Plans provide between 25 GB and 75 GB of NVMe storage, separate hosting environments, email accounts, MSSQL and MySQL databases, .NET Toolkit access and SmarterMail. SSL certificates, managed backups and the website builder are included. This makes Simple Hosting particularly useful for Swiss customers who need genuine Windows hosting rather than a Linux platform adapted around Microsoft applications.

Dedicated WordPress hosting combines NVMe storage with LiteSpeed and WordPress-specific management. Plans support between two and five WordPress installations and include SSL, backups, caching and WordPress Toolkit functions for cloning, staging, updates, plugins and themes. Higher-level packages provide more managed maintenance for standard WordPress components.

Linux and Windows reseller hosting are available for web designers, agencies and hosting resellers. Linux reseller packages start with ten hosting accounts and 100 GB NVMe storage, while larger configurations reach 30 accounts and 200 GB. Windows reseller packages provide comparable account separation for customers requiring Microsoft hosting. Each reseller can manage customer environments through Plesk while retaining separate accounts and branding.

The website builder is integrated with normal hosting accounts and provides responsive templates, drag-and-drop editing, automatic saving and website import/export functions. It can also handle smaller online shops, making it practical for users who prefer a visual website-building environment instead of WordPress or custom development.

Swiss Cloud Servers provide Linux and Windows virtual servers with root or administrator access. Linux systems start at CHF 29 per month and Windows at CHF 59 per month. Configurations can scale to as many as 32 CPU cores and 128 GB RAM, with NVMe storage and included traffic. Linux users can select their operating system, while Windows systems include Windows Server licensing. Firewall and intrusion-prevention functions, monitoring and managed backups are included, with complete server administration available as an additional service.

Managed Webhosting Servers are suitable for companies and agencies that need an isolated server environment without handling system administration themselves. Simple Hosting takes responsibility for initial setup, operating-system maintenance, application updates, mail services, endpoint protection, firewall configuration and monitoring. Customer websites, domains, databases, DNS and mailboxes can then be managed through Plesk.

The Swiss Virtual Datacenter service extends the platform into IaaS. Entry configurations provide 8 CPU cores, 16 GB RAM and 250 GB NVMe storage, while larger packages scale to 32 CPU cores, 64 GB RAM and 750 GB NVMe. Private VLANs, public IP addresses, root or administrator access, backups, firewall protection and optional management make these environments suitable for more complex company infrastructure.

Physical Server Housing is also available in Otelfingen, Switzerland. Standard configurations support 1U to 4U servers and include 2 TB traffic, firewall protection and an allowance of up to 300 watts per server. Additional public IP addresses, private VLANs, reverse DNS, VPN connections and monitoring can be added when required.

Domain registration is another established part of the business. Simple Hosting became an accredited SWITCH registrar for .ch domains in 2018. Domain customers receive DNS management, domain locking and incoming transfers without an additional transfer charge. A broad range of Swiss, international and country-code extensions is available.

Standalone email hosting begins with 25 GB NVMe storage and 50 mailboxes, while larger plans provide up to 70 GB storage, 150 accounts and several email domains. Mailboxes include spam, virus and malware filtering together with retained backups. SmarterMail provides webmail and support for IMAP, POP, EWS and MAPI, while optional Exchange ActiveSync and groupware functions add calendar, contact, task and note synchronization.

DNS Cloud Hosting is available separately for customers who only need authoritative DNS. Plans range from smaller environments with 20 zones and 500 records to professional configurations with 250 zones and 7,500 records. Primary DNS data is kept in Switzerland, while geographically distributed systems and backups provide additional resilience elsewhere in Europe.

SSL certificates are included automatically with normal hosting, while commercial certificates are available for customers requiring organization validation, extended validation, wildcard coverage or multi-domain certificates.

Email Security can protect mail systems hosted either by Simple Hosting or elsewhere. Incoming and outgoing filtering covers spam, phishing, ransomware, viruses and other malware, while queued delivery helps keep incoming mail available when a customer's own mail server is temporarily unreachable.

Website Security packages provide malware and vulnerability scanning, automatic cleanup and additional protection depending on the selected level. SiteLock is used for this service.

The company website is available in German and English, and product pricing is primarily shown in Swiss francs (CHF). A major redesign completed in April 2026 replaced the previous long-running website with a modern responsive interface.
