ACTIVE 24 is a Central European hosting and domain provider with roots going back to 1996 (originating from Globe Internet), and it has operated in the Slovak market since 2003. They run a broad, practical catalog that covers the typical building blocks of an online presence—domains, web hosting, email, website tools, and scalable server infrastructure—so customers can start small and expand without switching vendors.

Domains

Their domain portfolio focuses on .sk and .cz as core local choices, while also supporting a long list of international and niche TLDs. For customers who manage multiple domains, they include supporting services such as notifications for expirations and forwarding options (web and email). Security features like DNSSEC are also part of the ecosystem, which is relevant for domain integrity and anti-tampering DNS protection.

Shared Web Hosting and CMS

They combine classic shared hosting with easy onboarding for popular CMS platforms. WordPress is integrated as an "open source system" option and is available without extra cost when paired with specific hosting tiers (for example, their Complete hosting plan). For e-commerce on shared hosting, they support WooCommerce as an add-on for Linux-based hosting plans, which gives smaller sites a straightforward path to online sales without needing a separate server at the start.

Email Solutions

Email is available as a dedicated service, not just an add-on. Their ACTIVE 24 E-mail package is positioned around multiple mailboxes plus collaboration functions—shared calendars, tasks, contacts, and documents—with a modern webmail interface that also works on mobile. For higher needs, Mailbox Plus adds additional storage and features such as ActiveSync synchronization and web-based document tools, with optional paid add-ons like mailbox archiving and domain aliases.

Websites and E-shops

For customers who want a site without managing hosting internals, Moje stránky is their in-house website builder. It runs through a browser-based administration and includes responsive templates and SSL support. For online stores, they cover both ends: an "all-in-one" ACTIVE 24 E-shop approach and a WooCommerce route for WordPress users who prefer the open-source stack.

Servers and Managed Infrastructure

On the infrastructure side, they provide several server tiers that fit different operational responsibilities:

• VPS (Virtual Private Servers): customer-managed administration for flexibility and custom setups.
• VMS (Virtual Managed Servers): stronger operational support with a more managed posture.
• APS (Application Servers): positioned for running third-party systems and more specialized software stacks.
• Managed Servers: dedicated systems for a single customer, aimed at workloads where isolation and predictable performance matter.

They also support a trial-style approach for server services, which can help validate performance and compatibility before a longer commitment.
Their previews office for active24.sk operation was in Bratislava, but after team.blue acquisition the new office is in Karlín, Czech Republic. The hole website has been redesigned and relunched with new offer and English support

💰 Price & Cost

Pricing is generally presented in monthly billing with VAT shown separately for many services, which makes business budgeting easier. A few representative entry points:

• Domains: promotions appear regularly (for example, .sk registration offers), while standard pricing for popular TLDs like .com and .eu is listed clearly with renewal fees.
• Email: ACTIVE 24 E-mail is priced as a package (with promotional pricing for initial billing periods), and add-ons such as Mailbox Plus, archiving, and domain aliases are available à la carte.
• Website Builder: Moje stránky includes a 14-day free trial, then paid tiers (Start/Standard/Premium) depending on site size and features.
• Servers: entry pricing starts at the VPS/VMS level, with Managed Servers in a higher monthly band consistent with dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure.

One operational detail worth noting: some line items (such as per-mailbox extras) may appear in CZK alongside EUR-based pricing, so customers should double-check the currency used at checkout for add-ons versus core subscriptions.

ACTIVE24 support payment methods :
Online card payment (real-time): Via GP webpay gateway, supporting Visa and MasterCard (your bank must allow online/3D-secure payments).
Bank transfer: Standard wire transfer using the payment instructions and variable symbol from the proforma invoice / order confirmation.
Bank deposit (cash deposit at bank branch): Payment made by depositing directly to their Raiffeisenbank account (works similarly to a bank transfer, typically processed fast).
Credit System (prepaid credit balance): For customers managing multiple services: you can top up account credit and then pay renewals/services

ACTIVE24 money-back guarantee: 14 days money-back guarantee on Web hosting, E-mail solution, Moje stránky (website builder), APS servers, VPS, VMS servers.

🏢 Data Center

They operate their production systems in the DC Tower data center and maintain a geographically separate backup datacenter - Casablanca.cz, with daily backups across services. From a reliability standpoint, they apply a formal SLA model to server availability. For virtual servers, their SLA framework sets clear thresholds (e.g., monthly operation below 99.93% qualifies for service credits that scale with the outage duration). Maintenance is handled in a way intended to minimize customer disruption, typically overnight. ACTIVE24 operates its own network as AS25234 (ACTIVE 24, s.r.o. / ACTIVE24-AS).

Uptime guarantee for shared Hosting is: 99.9%.

✍️ Customer Support

Support is a core strength. They run 24/7 customer support via phone, chat, and email, and they also maintain a structured customer environment ("client zone" / customer center) for account operations and authorized service requests. For Slovak-facing customers, the site also provides a local support phone number and an @active24.sk support mailbox for ticket-based help.

🔨 Control Panel

Instead of relying on a single third-party panel brand across the entire catalog, they use a service-specific approach:

• A Customer Center / Client Zone for account management, service administration, and authorized requests.
• Separate web interfaces for Webmail, MySQL, MSSQL, and WebFTP, which is useful for quick access without a local client.
• For Moje stránky, a dedicated browser-based administration serves as the site builder control layer, including template selection and on-page edits.

This structure is functional, although customers used to a single unified control panel for everything may need a short adjustment period.

🎯 Conclusion

ACTIVE 24 is a long-established provider with a broad, practical portfolio that fits both entry-level users and customers who need dedicated or managed infrastructure. Their strongest points are the multi-layer offering (domains → hosting → email → website tools → servers), 24/7 support, and a clearly-defined SLA approach for server reliability. The infrastructure design—DC Tower plus a separate backup site with daily backups—adds credibility for businesses that care about continuity.

Potential drawbacks are mostly operational rather than technical: customers may encounter mixed currency presentation on certain add-ons and a more distributed management experience (customer center plus separate service interfaces rather than one universal panel). Overall, they fit best for customers who value a stable regional provider with both self-managed and managed pathways, and who want the option to scale into dedicated environments without leaving the same ecosystem.
