📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Web Host Limited, once one of Hong Kong’s pioneering internet service providers, held a prominent role in the region’s digital infrastructure landscape for nearly two decades. Established in 1998 and officially licensed under OFTA No. 591, the company stood out as one of the first-generation web hosting providers in the territory. Its wide-ranging services catered to both large enterprises and SMEs, offering not just hosting, but a suite of tailored IT and network solutions.
From the beginning, Web Host Limited emphasized comprehensive, end-to-end internet and intranet services, including firewall security, VPNs, online payment systems, domain registration, and email management. The company provided 24/7 technical support and access to senior network consultants, positioning itself as a one-stop technology partner for growing businesses.

Pioneering Milestones and Technological Firsts

Over the years, Web Host became known for its technical leadership and strategic partnerships:

• It was the first in Hong Kong to deploy Juniper Networks' Netscreen firewalls, establishing a benchmark in local internet security.
• Partnered early with IBM and Microsoft, gaining accreditation under Microsoft’s SPLA and later achieving Gold Certified Partner status.
• Became part of significant regional and international networks, including APNIC and the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX), where it connected via a dedicated 100Gbps local bandwidth.

The company also earned recognition across multiple fronts, from HSBC Business Living Awards to family-friendly and community engagement accolades—reinforcing its reputation not just as a tech provider, but as a socially responsible employer.

Robust Infrastructure and High Standards

Web Host maintained a multi-datacenter strategy to avoid single points of failure, and exclusively used Juniper network equipment to ensure system compatibility and uptime stability. Most servers were sourced from Dell, covered by 24/7 hardware maintenance contracts. Their infrastructure included:

• 20Gbps international bandwidth and 10Gbps mainland China bandwidth, routed through multiple carriers such as China Telecom, China Unicom, and PCCW Global.
• Facilities equipped with redundant UPS systems, diesel backup generators, and FM200 fire suppression systems.
• Full environmental controls, including 24/7 cooling and humidity regulation.

Customers were further supported with features like double server backups, on-demand upgrades, and automated network tracking managed by round-the-clock engineers.

Customer-Centric Business Model

Web Host consistently positioned itself as a value-driven provider. From competitive hosting packages with essential features bundled in, to localized customer service that went beyond expectations, the company focused on enhancing client efficiency through stable, secure, and scalable solutions. Their 30-day conditional satisfaction guarantee demonstrated confidence in service delivery and a commitment to long-term client trust.
In addition to hosting, the company also operated value-added ventures like FBShop, which won awards for SME-focused cloud innovation, and supported regional e-commerce through partnerships with platforms like busytrade.com.
