📄 Editorial Review

Zone Media OÜ, better known as Zone, is an Estonian domain registrar, web hosting, cloud infrastructure, and managed server provider founded in 1999. The company serves more than 60,000 customers and manages approximately 160,000 domain names, making it one of the most established hosting businesses in Estonia. Founder and CEO Martti Varik has remained closely connected with its development from a local internet company into a broader European hosting and infrastructure provider.

In August 2026, Zone became part of Your.Online Group (your.online), an international hosting and online-services organization with 34 brands, more than 1,000 employees, over 1.3 million customers, and annual revenue exceeding €300 million. Zone continues to operate under its established name, local management, and existing service structure while benefiting from the resources of a larger international group.

The portfolio covers domains, DNS management, shared hosting, WordPress hosting, professional email, SSL certificates, website-building tools, AI-assisted website creation, website monitoring, managed search platforms, VPS, managed cloud servers, bare-metal dedicated servers, and fully managed dedicated infrastructure. This creates a practical growth path for customers who want to begin with a basic website and later move to isolated virtual or physical servers without changing providers.

The Web Hosting range includes Starter, Business, and Pro packages. Storage begins at 256 GiB and reaches 1 TiB, while traffic, subdomains, aliases, and email accounts are not restricted by small fixed quotas. Depending on the selected plan, customers receive MariaDB databases, Redis memory, SSH access, WP-CLI, cron jobs, Node.js support, HTTP/2, Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, and progressively larger PHP processing resources.

The Pro package adds more databases, higher PHP capacity, Turbo resource expansion, WebSocket support, and port forwarding. It is suitable for demanding WordPress websites, online stores, custom web applications, and development projects that need more resources than conventional entry-level shared hosting.

WordPress can be installed through Zone+, together with Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Concrete CMS, phpBB, and other common applications. A staging environment allows customers to prepare updates or design changes separately before moving them to the live website.

The Zone+ AI Assistant can generate an initial WordPress structure from a business description, including page layouts, content sections, and draft text. It provides a useful starting point for small businesses that need to launch quickly, although professional editing and customization remain important for branding, accuracy, and security.

A hosted website builder is also available for customers who prefer visual editing instead of WordPress. The packages include responsive templates, multilingual website support, SSL protection, e-commerce functions, and different storage allocations. This approach is easier for beginners, but it offers less flexibility than a fully managed WordPress installation.

Email is included with the hosting plans. Standard functions include webmail, spam filtering, malware scanning, DKIM, autoresponders, forwarding, shared address books, and 5 GiB of ZoneCloud storage for each mailbox.

Premium Email increases individual mailbox capacity to 50, 100, or 200 GiB. It is a practical option for businesses with large mail archives that do not require a complete Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment.

Zone supports registration across nearly 400 domain extensions. Domain management includes DNS records, parking, redirects, DNSSEC where supported, and integration with hosting and email services. The selection is particularly strong for Estonian and European domains while also covering widely used international extensions such as .com.

The infrastructure range begins with CloudServer VPS. These virtual servers use ZoneOS hypervisors, AMD EPYC processors, and NVMe-backed storage. Customers receive root access, a public IPv4 address, REST API access, and a browser-based VNC console.

Available operating systems include AlmaLinux, Debian, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, and Windows Server. Custom ISO uploads are not supported, which may limit specialized appliances or uncommon operating systems, but the available templates cover most mainstream Linux and Windows workloads.

CloudServer VPS is primarily self-managed. Customers remain responsible for updates, firewall configuration, application security, monitoring, and backup strategy. Infrastructure-level disaster-recovery copies exist, but they should not replace independent customer-controlled backups.

Managed CloudServer provides an isolated environment administered by Zone. Business, Pro, and Platinum configurations include 1 TiB of NVMe storage, operating-system maintenance, security assistance, nightly snapshots, off-site backups retained for 30 days, monitoring, and access to an emergency support line.

Root access is not included with Managed CloudServer because Zone retains responsibility for the operating system and platform stability. The service is best suited to one important website, online store, or application rather than a large collection of unrelated hosting accounts.

The Turbo function can temporarily increase a managed cloud server to the next resource level. This is useful during promotional campaigns, seasonal traffic increases, major software updates, or other short-term demand spikes.

Physical infrastructure is available through Bare-Metal Dedicated Server and Managed Dedicated Server packages. Bare-metal customers manage the operating system, firewall, applications, backups, and monitoring themselves. These servers include symmetrical 1 Gbps connectivity, unrestricted traffic, secure remote management, and access to equivalent cold-standby hardware when replacement is required.

Managed dedicated servers include operating-system administration, monitoring, security assistance, backup storage, emergency support, and cold-standby capacity. Configurations range from Intel Xeon systems to larger AMD EPYC platforms with 24 cores, 256 GB RAM, NVMe storage, and connectivity of up to 10 Gbps.

An NVIDIA L4 GPU can be added to selected systems for AI inference, media processing, and other accelerated workloads. Used managed servers are also occasionally available, offering lower-cost access to dedicated infrastructure while retaining Zone’s administration and support services.

Additional products include managed Elasticsearch, managed OpenSearch, SSL certificates, WordPress vulnerability protection, website uptime monitoring, security monitoring, migration assistance, and technical administration charged by time. These services make Zone suitable for customers who want more than basic shared hosting but do not necessarily maintain an internal infrastructure team.

The website is available in Estonian, English, and Russian, while Finnish-language services are also available through the company’s Finnish operation. The interface is modern, responsive, and easy to use on desktop and mobile devices. Product prices are displayed in euros, with the option to view them with or without VAT.
