📄 Editorial Review

Webland AG is a long-standing Swiss hosting provider and accredited registrar based in Münchenstein, near Basel. The company has been active since 1998 and is one of the pioneers of the Swiss hosting market, today ranking among the "top ten" webhosting providers in Switzerland and operating as a joint-stock company. Their positioning is very clear: Swiss quality, security and full data locality, with servers operated exclusively in their own data centers in Switzerland.

The core focus is classic shared hosting combined with domain registration and e-mail/collaboration services, rather than generic VPS or bare-metal servers. For web hosting, Webland offers six main shared plans under one platform, divided into packages for individuals/small enterprises (Hosting Starter, Basic, Premium) and business-oriented plans (Business Basic, Business Premium, Business Cluster). All run on either Windows Server (IIS) or Linux/UNIX with a unified feature set that includes PHP (5.6/7.x/8.x), ASP.NET, .NET Core, Node.js, WebSockets, cron jobs and support for common CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, Typo3 and DNN. The hosting comparison table shows generous combined storage (37.5–150 GB for the Starter–Premium line, 175–250 GB on business plans), unlimited standard e-mail accounts, up to 100 databases (MySQL, MS SQL, MS Access) and up to 100 manageable domains depending on the plan.

Business hosting plans build on this foundation with extra performance and isolation. Business Basic and Business Premium introduce a dedicated application pool (1–2 GB RAM) per customer and, in the case of Business Cluster, a clustered web server back-end designed for higher resilience and throughput. These plans are clearly aimed at agencies and companies running heavier sites, online shops or custom .NET/PHP applications that need predictable resources and added isolation compared to entry-level shared hosting.

Webland also invests heavily in complementary services. As an official Swiss registrar, they handle .ch and .li domains directly and also sell .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .eu and many other TLDs, with domain search and ordering integrated into their own platform. For customers wanting a specifically Swiss identity, Webland is also involved in .swiss registrations.

On the e-mail side, Webland offers standalone E-Mail Hosting and E-Mail Hosting Business plans plus the CloudOffice collaboration suite. E-Mail Hosting targets private users and small businesses with 25 mailboxes, 25 GB storage and built-in anti-spam/anti-virus protection, while E-Mail Hosting Business raises this to unlimited mailboxes and 100 GB storage. CloudOffice Personal and CloudOffice Team add groupware features like calendars, tasks, notes, online document editing and, for teams, web meetings, chat and collaboration tools. These can be used with or without a customer’s own domain (for example addresses under @mywebland.ch).

For website creation and applications, Webland provides a Weebly-based WebsiteBuilder as an optional add-on, with a free "Limited" version bundled into every hosting plan and paid Pro/Business tiers for more advanced sites and shops. The AppCenter offers one-click deployment of over 70 web applications including WordPress, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal and others. Developers and database-heavy projects can also use Webland’s dedicated, managed database servers (MySQL or MS SQL) or expand shared database quotas up to 20 GB per database.

Security and reliability are recurring themes. All hosting plans include a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, multi-layer DDoS protection, spam and virus filters for e-mail, a Web Application Firewall and daily backups. Servers are monitored 24/7/365 and hosted entirely in Webland’s own data centers in Basel and Münchenstein.

Finally, Webland runs a reseller/partner program for agencies and IT providers. Partners resell Webland’s hosting packages under their own name or Webland’s branding, receive quarterly invoices and can get discounts of up to 50% depending on volume, while Webland commits not to contact end customers directly.

Notably, Webland’s product portfolio has remained almost unchanged since at least mid-2020, with only the WebsiteBuilder/Weebly component evolving over time; mainly the prices have been adjusted.

Overall, Webland comes across as a mature, infrastructure-driven Swiss host that has chosen to specialize in high-feature shared hosting, mail/collaboration and domains rather than a broad IaaS portfolio. Customers that specifically want Swiss data residency, Windows + Linux flexibility and strong e-mail and database options will find a lot of depth in the product line.
