*📜 Plan description

Medium is the entry for Linux webhosting focused on CMS-ready hosting with a modest but business-oriented resource bundle.
Included resources and limits:
- Web space: 50 GB
- Monthly traffic: unlimited (unmetered)
- Databases: 5 MySQL databases up to 250 MB each
- PHP memory limit: 256 MB
- Transfer protocols: HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
- Access protocol: FTP
- Daily backup with 60-day retention
- Advanced security and ongoing maintenance updates
Website building and launch support:
- Free installation options for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and WooCommerce
- Free domain activation for the first year (1 free domain registration/activation in year one)
- Free SSL certificate for HTTPS
- Multiple linked domains per package are supported (exact count not specified)
Optional add-ons and services mentioned for this tier include website migration support, Microsoft 365 mailbox integration, premium SSL certificates, and managed CMS services.
Commitment pricing examples shown include a 12-month subscription billed as EUR 120 per 12 months (equivalent to about EUR 10.00 per month) and a 6-month subscription billed as EUR 72 per 6 months (equivalent to about EUR 12.00 per month).

Linux shared webhosting is positioned as a performant PHP hosting environment that fits common CMS platforms and small-business websites.
It is designed to avoid upfront investment in infrastructure, licensing, or specialist training, because server management, core software installation, and security updates are handled by the provider's experts.
The service is described as highly reliable and continuously up to date, with an emphasis on stability by hosting components on separate servers (for example web server and database server).
Activation is described as fast: the hosting is available within minutes after payment thanks to a fully automated ordering process.
Day-to-day management is done through an online control panel (MyCloud), enabling changes to the hosting package regardless of time or location, and upgrades to a larger package are presented as straightforward.
The platform supports modern web delivery with HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, and uses Apache 2.4 running on Debian Linux as the web server stack.
Access to upload and manage files is provided via FTP, and the service includes daily backups retained for 60 days to support restore scenarios.
Security is framed as 'advanced' and includes ongoing maintenance and updates; the page also highlights that transactions can be protected with SSL and that a free SSL certificate is included in the hosting bundles.
The offering can be expanded with extra services such as Microsoft 365 integration, premium SSL certificates, website migration support, and optional managed CMS services (patching of the CMS system) as well as optional caching aimed at boosting website performance.
A content management system (CMS) is recommended for building websites, e-commerce sites and blogs because content can be created and maintained quickly, functionality can be added without deep technical knowledge, and predefined templates can reduce effort.
The provider states that multiple open-source CMS packages have been successfully tested on this Linux shared hosting environment.
On the technology side, PHP is described as a server-side language (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) where code executes on the server rather than in the browser.
The PHP memory limit (configured per plan) is explained as the maximum amount of memory a PHP script may use while running; sites using CMS extensions/plugins, heavy traffic, image resizing, or large data structures can hit this limit, so selecting an appropriate tier helps reduce runtime constraints.
Support and advice are promoted via a technical helpdesk and a toll-free phone channel, and there are also options to request a callback or arrange an in-person visit.
Pricing is presented as a fixed subscription price with clear tariffs, and the site indicates that prices are shown in EUR excluding VAT and excluding any possible activation/installation costs when applicable.

📄 Editorial Review

Telenet is one of the major telecom and internet providers in Belgium, and its Telenet Business branch extends that role into hosting and cloud services for freelancers, small companies, and larger organizations. The group has been active since 1996 and operates out of Mechelen, with several data centers in Belgium. Over the years Telenet strengthened its hosting expertise by absorbing specialist providers such as Hostbasket, so the hosting side is not a side-project but a long-running infrastructure business under a big telecom umbrella.

For smaller businesses, the core web-presence offering revolves around Linux shared web hosting, domain names, and SSL certificates, all managed through the in-house MyCloud control panel. Everything is tightly integrated: domains, hosting, SSL, and Microsoft 365 mailboxes can be ordered and then managed from a single interface, while billing is consolidated with other Telenet services. The public sales flow and self-service tools are available in Dutch and French, with corporate information also accessible in English. Pricing is always in euro (€).

The backbone of the hosting catalog is Linux webhosting for CMS-driven sites (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, WooCommerce, etc.). There are three plans – Small, Medium, and Xlarge – running on Apache 2.4 on Debian Linux, with HTTP/1.1 & HTTP/2 support. All variants share a similar philosophy:
  • Shared platform optimized for PHP applications
  • Unlimited data transfer on all plans
  • Daily backups retained for about 60 days
  • Built-in free SSL certificate and free domain name for the first year
  • Separation between web and database servers for extra stability
  • Optional add-ons such as Managed CMS (they handle patching) and extra caching for performance

The plans mainly differ in disk space and database size:
  • Small: 20 GB storage, 5×100 MB MySQL databases, 128 MB PHP memory limit, up to 3 FTP users
  • Medium: 50 GB, 5×250 MB MySQL, 256 MB PHP memory limit
  • Xlarge: 150 GB, 5×500 MB MySQL, 512 MB PHP memory limit

All plans include one-click installation for popular CMS platforms, advanced security, and the possibility to host multiple linked domains under one package, which works well for agencies or businesses with several small sites. For many Belgian SMEs that want a reliable PHP stack without touching the underlying OS, this setup is very practical.

There are also references to both Windows and Linux webhosting when combining domain and hosting promotions, which indicates that .NET-oriented Windows hosting is available as part of the broader Hosting & Cloud portfolio, even though the fully detailed public click-to-order pages currently focus on Linux.

Alongside webhosting, Telenet puts a lot of weight on domain management. The domain name offering lets customers register or transfer a wide range of extensions (over 500 TLDs, including regional ones like .gent, .vlaanderen and .brussels). Every domain comes with:
  • Free URL forwarding (redirect the domain to another website)
  • Free email forwarding (use your own domain as an alias to an existing mailbox)
  • Free use of Telenet nameservers
  • Self-service DNS management in MyCloud (A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, SPF, etc.)

For agencies and heavy users, Domain Packs allow pre-purchasing 25, 50, 100, or 250 registrations/transfers of popular TLDs (.be, .nl, .eu, .com, .net), with the effective per-domain pricing dropping as the pack size increases. The promo codes for these packs do not expire, which is attractive for resellers who register names over time.

On the security side, Telenet Business offers SSL certificates from Comodo in three flavors:
  • Domain Validation (DV) – around the entry price point, suitable for basic encryption and the browser padlock
  • Organization Validation (OV) – with company validation and a higher warranty amount
  • Extended Validation (EV) – the top tier, with the company identity validated in depth and a high monetary warranty

Beyond simply selling the certificate, Telenet provides a full service: generating the CSR for sites hosted with Telenet, handling the purchase from the CA, taking care of all administrative steps, installing the certificate on Telenet servers, configuring HTTPS host headers (e.g., secure.yourcompany.com), and testing the secured site. The certificate is also monitored so the customer is warned in time before expiration. For sites hosted elsewhere, the certificate can be delivered for self-installation.

In addition to these clearly packaged products, Telenet Business runs a broader Hosting & Cloud division. Service agreements and technical documents show virtual server platforms, dedicated servers, online backup, and dynamic cloud services for mid-market and enterprise customers, with infrastructure located in multiple professional data centers in Belgium. Those larger solutions are not sold via simple retail plan tables but through direct contact and bespoke design, which fits the profile of more complex environments.

Based on WHTop’s historical tracking of plan features and pricing, Telenet has maintained largely the same hosting lineup since March 2020 (a period when they also offered hosting options that included Windows OS). Their Linux shared hosting plans remain effectively unchanged in both features and pricing, which can be interpreted as evidence of limited product iteration and a relatively low level of ongoing investment in the web hosting segment. A comparable pattern is visible in their SSL certificate catalog as well, where the same three certificate options appear to have persisted with minimal evolution.

Overall, they offer a telecom-grade hosting platform: not the cheapest "mass hosting" player, but a stable, integrated environment where internet access, hosting, domains, SSL, and Microsoft 365 are all delivered by the same provider and backed by Belgian support teams.
