*📜 Plan description

Built for growing catalogs and agencies: host 25 websites with 75 GB storage, unmetered bandwidth, 50×1 GB databases, unlimited subdomains and 25×10 GB mailboxes. Everything in Personal is included—CDN, edge caching, backups, app installer and Git—while StackCP keeps control tidy across packages, emails and DNS. The resource bump and unlimited subdomains make it practical for multi-brand launches, campaign microsites and sandboxing without juggling separate providers.

Common web hosting benefits apply: 99.9% uptime, 30-day money-back guarantee and 24/7 assistance. All tiers deliver unlimited SSL, free migrations, 80+ one-click apps, cron jobs, raw logs, site stats and web acceleration inside an intuitive StackCP panel. Platform performance leans on autoscaling, a free CDN and edge caching; security covers DDoS mitigation, automatic malware scanning, email antivirus/anti-spam and PCI-minded configurations. Renewable-energy backed operations, ecommerce-ready features and integrated Git help you maintain speed, security and clean workflows as projects multiply.

📄 Editorial Review

WestHost (founded in 1998 by Chris Russell, which is still the CEO), is a long-running hosting brand within THG Ingenuity (formerly UK2 Group acquisition in 2008). They position themselves as a straightforward provider of secure, cost-effective web services with a focus on entry-level and SMB use cases.

The current catalog centers on shared web hosting, email hosting, WordPress hosting, domain registration, a website builder and a paid security clean-up service.

Shared hosting highlights include a free domain, free mailboxes, and free wildcard SSL; higher tiers advertise unlimited disk space, unlimited MySQL databases, and unlimited websites. WordPress plans layer a guided installer and the broader plugin/theme ecosystem on top of the same infrastructure. The website builder line targets non-technical users with bundled domain, email, page limits by tier, and eCommerce features at the top end.

Email hosting remains a clear emphasis, offered in two tiers (Personal and Professional) with POP/IMAP, mobile sync, webmail, spam/virus protection, and optional mailbox storage upgrades. Domains are actively marketed with aggressive first-year promos and useful extras like DNS control, email forwarding, and a free one-page site.

Historically they described VPS options (SSD, multiple Linux/FreeBSD choices), but those services—along with dedicated/bare metal—have been folded into THG’s broader Ingenuity Cloud Services. Public activity on the WestHost brand has slowed (e.g., older blog/social timelines), suggesting the brand now primarily maintains core shared, email, WordPress, domains, and builder offerings.
