DigitalCloud Review 2026. Is digitalcloud.pro good web hosting in Portugal?

📄 Editorial Review

🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
DigitalCloud.pro is a cloud infrastructure provider specializing mainly in unmanaged Linux VPS hosting, with operations dating to 2019. The service is operated by HLISTAN ZOLERANI, UNIPESSOAL LDA, a Portuguese company with NIF/NIPC 517417901 and its business address in Porto, Portugal. The current Portuguese legal entity was incorporated on February 23, 2023, while the DigitalCloud hosting operation itself has a longer history. Dimitri Shiliaev is associated with Hlistan Zolerani as its founder.

DigitalCloud is also part of the broader Baxet Group (baxet.com) ecosystem. This relationship extends to network infrastructure, with DigitalCloud VPS instances operating through AS26383 Baxet Group Inc. in several international locations. The contractual provider of DigitalCloud services remains HLISTAN ZOLERANI, UNIPESSOAL LDA.

The platform received a major modernization in June 2026, including a redesigned responsive website, a new customer area, a new VPS configurator and a more streamlined deployment system. The current service is strongly focused on Cloud VPS, although its contractual framework can also cover dedicated servers, GPU servers, dedicated IP resources and domain-related services.

Cloud VPS uses KVM virtualization with NVMe storage. Unlimited traffic is included across the current range, while network port speed increases with the selected package. DDoS protection, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are included, making the platform suitable for websites, development environments, applications, VPN services and other self-managed Linux workloads.

The four main configurations are Lite Cloud, Start Cloud, Standard Cloud and Pro Cloud. Lite Cloud includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe and a 200 Mbps network port. Start Cloud increases storage to 50 GB NVMe and network speed to 300 Mbps. Standard Cloud includes 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe and 500 Mbps, while Pro Cloud provides 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe and a 700 Mbps connection.

A configurable VPS builder provides more flexibility than the four standard plans. CPU, RAM and NVMe resources can be adjusted before selecting the operating system, server location and additional software. This is particularly convenient for developers and businesses that want to balance CPU power, memory and disk capacity according to a specific workload.

Linux distributions include Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, openSUSE, Oracle Linux and CloudLinux. MikroTik RouterOS is also available for networking-oriented deployments. The current VPS platform is Linux-oriented, and Windows VPS is not currently available.

One-click application deployment simplifies the creation of common server environments. Available choices include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, Moodle, MODX, Webasyst, Apache Tomcat, LiteSpeed Web Server, Nginx, LAMP and LEMP. Additional templates cover databases, DevOps tools, game-server applications and other workloads.

The platform also provides API v2, allowing server provisioning and infrastructure management to be integrated into development, SaaS or hosting automation workflows. This is useful for agencies and developers managing multiple VPS instances without relying exclusively on the graphical customer interface.

Backup responsibility remains particularly important with these unmanaged services. Customers are responsible for maintaining independent backups and testing restoration procedures unless a purchased service explicitly includes managed backup functionality. For production workloads, keeping an external backup should therefore be considered essential.

The current website has a modern responsive design suitable for desktop and mobile use. The service is localized in English, Chinese and Arabic, while additional support material is also available in Russian. Current VPS pricing is primarily displayed in USD.

💰 Price & Cost

Standard monthly prices start at approximately $6.65/month for Lite Cloud, $9.98 for Start Cloud, $16.65 for Standard Cloud and $29.98 for Pro Cloud. Longer prepaid periods reduce the effective monthly cost substantially.

A promotion introduced on September 1, 2026 provides new Cloud VPS customers with additional discounts. The FIRST30 promotional code gives 30% off the first billing period on 1, 3, 6 and 12-month orders. A 24-month billing period receives an automatic 30% reduction, while a 36-month term receives an automatic 40% discount. At the longest term, Lite Cloud can therefore cost approximately $3.99/month. Promotional discounts cannot be combined.

Payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay and USDT. Bank-transfer invoicing is also available through the billing system for customers requiring invoice-based payment.

New customers purchasing a standard self-service VPS receive a 15-day money-back guarantee. The guarantee applies to the recurring VPS service charge on the first qualifying purchase. Third-party software licences, domains, dedicated hardware, custom work, completed setup services, additional IP resources and accounts involved in abuse are excluded.

Applicable consumer withdrawal rights remain available according to law. Outside the voluntary refund period or mandatory consumer rights, cancellation normally keeps the service active until the end of the prepaid billing term without reimbursement for unused time.

🏢 Data Center

DigitalCloud operates its Cloud VPS platform across 11 locations in Europe, North America, Asia and Russia. Available locations include Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan, Warsaw, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Tokyo, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk.

Several locations are identified as Tier-3 facilities, including Amsterdam, Madrid, New York, Warsaw and St. Petersburg. The Russian infrastructure includes Moscow through Fiord, St. Petersburg through IQ Data and Novosibirsk through Rostelecom (rt.ru) infrastructure.

A network speed-test facility allows customers to test connectivity toward available regions before purchasing. This is particularly useful for applications where latency and routing quality are more important than simple geographic distance.

DigitalCloud VPS instances in several international locations use AS26383 Baxet Group Inc. network resources. Hardware varies between locations and nodes, with deployments using different Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server generations rather than a single standardized CPU platform.

The current Cloud VPS infrastructure combines KVM virtualization with NVMe storage. DDoS protection is included, and both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are supported. Unlimited traffic is available on the VPS range, while individual plans are differentiated by network port speed.

The current service terms do not include a fixed numerical uptime guarantee such as 99.9% or 99.99%. Maintenance, security work, upstream network incidents and emergency interventions may affect availability. Service interruptions can qualify for restoration, proportional price reduction, SLA credit or termination when applicable under the relevant service conditions.

✍️ Customer Support

Customer assistance is available through the ticket system, live chat and email. Technical matters can be handled through support@digitalcloud.pro, while manager@digitalcloud.pro is available for business, contractual and refund-related matters.

A separate knowledge base covers VPS deployment, account access, payments, renewals, configuration changes and other service-management subjects.

Cloud VPS is primarily an unmanaged service. Customers therefore remain responsible for operating-system administration, application configuration, software updates, security, monitoring and backups unless additional management services are purchased separately.

🔨 Control Panel

DigitalCloud uses its own customer area for ordering, provisioning and managing VPS infrastructure. The current interface includes the VPS configurator, operating-system selection, location selection, application deployment and billing management.

cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin are available as optional hosting control panels. These can turn a standard VPS into a more conventional web-hosting environment for customers managing websites, databases, domains and email accounts through a graphical interface.

Adding a control panel does not convert the VPS into a fully managed server. Operating-system maintenance, security, backups and general server administration remain the customer's responsibility unless separate management has been arranged.

One-click application templates provide another practical alternative for customers who do not need a full hosting panel. WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, OpenCart, LAMP, LEMP and other applications can be installed directly during deployment.

API v2 adds programmatic infrastructure control, which is useful for developers, agencies and businesses automating VPS creation or integrating DigitalCloud resources into their own systems.

🎯 Conclusion

DigitalCloud.pro has developed into a focused VPS provider with a modern platform and a useful combination of KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, unlimited traffic, DDoS protection, IPv4/IPv6 connectivity and API automation.

Its geographic coverage is one of the stronger points, with 11 server locations spanning Europe, the United States, Asia and Russia. The configurable VPS builder also provides more flexibility than a catalog limited entirely to fixed packages.

Pricing is competitive, especially with long-term discounts, while the 15-day money-back guarantee gives new VPS customers enough time to test compatibility and basic performance. Support for several Linux distributions, optional cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin licences, and one-click application deployment makes the platform suitable for both developers and conventional website hosting.

There are some limitations to consider. Windows VPS is currently unavailable, backup responsibility generally remains with the customer, and the current contractual terms do not include a fixed 99.9% or 99.99% uptime commitment.

DigitalCloud is therefore best suited to customers comfortable managing their own Linux environment. Developers, agencies, self-hosted application users, WordPress operators, VPN users and smaller production environments can benefit particularly from its international location choice, NVMe infrastructure, flexible resource allocation and straightforward VPS pricing.
