Top 10 Web Hosting Austria 🔟

World 4You

World4You is one of the best Austrian hosting provider that has been operating since 1998 and focuses strongly on giving small businesses, freelancers, and private users a straightforward "all-in-one" environment for their online presence. The company is based in Linz with a second office in Vienna and runs its own data centers in Austria, while some server products are delivered from additional locations within the EU. Over the years they have grown to well over 100,000 customers and hundreds of thousands of registered domains, and today they operate as an Austrian subsidiary in the United Internet / IONOS group environment, which helps with stability and long-term continuity.

The portfolio covers all the usual building blocks for a web project: domains, shared web hosting, WordPress and WooCommerce hosting, a website builder, email hosting, Hosted Exchange, and virtual servers (Linux and Windows vServers). For someone who prefers to keep domain, website, mail, and server under one roof, this is a coherent ecosystem rather than a collection of loosely connected products.

Domain services are a natural entry point: you can register a wide range of TLDs and run them either "domain only" or together with hosting. A recurring pattern across their hosting, email, WordPress, WooCommerce and website-builder products is that a free .at / .com / .eu domain for the first year is included for new registrations, which makes it easy to start from scratch without thinking about domain costs immediately.

Their shared web hosting (classic web hosting packages) is designed for general websites, blogs, and smaller projects. Plans follow the familiar Go / Grow / Business logic: an entry-level option for simple pages, a mid-tier for growing traffic and multiple projects, and a larger package with significantly more webspace, email resources and add-ons. Across these plans you typically get SSL certificates, cloud storage, integrated website check / marketing tools, and a 99.9% uptime target, together with a 30 day money-back guarantee and the ability to scale up if the project grows. Web hosting is aimed at users who want PHP/MySQL hosting with enough flexibility for most common CMS platforms.

On top of that sits WordPress hosting with an AI-supported website wizard ("AI-Boost"). WordPress is preinstalled, there is an AI assistant that can generate a draft site and content from a few questions, and the packages again come as WP Go, WP Grow, and WP Business. Even the smallest plan includes preinstalled WordPress, SSL, a free domain for the first year, and modest webspace (around a few dozen gigabytes), while the higher tiers add more storage (up to several hundred gigabytes), more mailboxes, additional cloud storage, and extras like a website check / SEO suggestions. The whole range runs on infrastructure aligned to 99.9% uptime, regular backups, and cloud storage included.

For e-commerce, WooCommerce hosting (WP Shop) is essentially a WordPress package tuned for online shops, with WooCommerce preinstalled, 500 GB webspace, several email addresses, cloud storage, SSL and website-check tools included. It is clearly intended for small and medium shops that need enough disk space for product images and media, but still want a managed feel rather than building the stack from scratch.

If you prefer not to touch WordPress at all, the Website Builder is a separate product: one plan with a fixed monthly fee that includes over 100 design templates, unlimited pages, an AI text assistant, SSL, an email address and a free domain for the first year. The editor is drag-and-drop, with widgets for contact forms, simple stores, galleries, maps and social-media integrations. This suits users who want a presentable site quickly and do not want to manage updates, plugins, or security at CMS level.

On the email side, World4You offers two layers. Standard Email Hosting comes in three tiers (Go, Grow, Business) with increasing numbers of mailboxes and storage per mailbox. All include webmail, a migration service to move mail from other providers, and again the free first-year domain, which makes it easy to run branded addresses such as name @ your-domain.tld even without a full web hosting package. For companies that depend heavily on Outlook and calendar collaboration, Hosted Exchange adds Exchange mailboxes with IMAP support, ActiveSync, shared calendars and contacts, and the option to buy more mailbox storage in steps up to larger capacities if a user’s mail volume grows. This offloads Exchange server management to World4You while still letting a business use familiar Microsoft tools.

For projects that need more control, there are Linux vServers and Windows vServers. Linux vServers come as S/M/L sizes with SSD storage, 2–6 vCPUs, 4–12 GB RAM, unlimited traffic, and the choice of Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux. You manage them yourself over SSH and can add Plesk as a control panel for easier handling of sites, mail, and databases. Windows vServers are similarly structured with 4–16 vCPUs, 8–28 GB RAM, SSD storage, unlimited data transfer, and Plesk Web Admin included, managed via RDP with a classic Windows Server GUI. Both product lines are clearly targeted at technically confident users who want virtual servers rather than fully managed dedicated machines.

World4You operates its own data centers in Linz and Vienna, uses 24/7 monitoring, redundant power with UPS and diesel backup, physical access control, CCTV, and firewalls and intrusion detection at network level. Logs and email transmissions follow GDPR-compliant rules, with encrypted mail transport wherever possible. For customer-facing products there is a consistent 30 day money-back promise (domains excluded), and a visible "Fairness Promise" about no hidden fees and flexible upgrades/downgrades where technically possible.

Overall, the portfolio feels built for users who want one European host to handle domain, site, email and server, with a strong Austrian/EU focus, GDPR awareness and extras like AI website tools and marketing/SEO helpers layered on top of standard hosting. [visit website world4you.com]

easy name

easyname is an Austrian hosting and domain provider founded in 2005 by Florian Schicker and based in Vienna. Over the years they have grown into one of the larger web hosting brands in Austria and are now part of the wider dogado / group.one family, while still operating under their own name and focusing strongly on the DACH region and broader European customers.

The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for getting online: domains, web hosting, website builder, VPS/cloud servers, SSL certificates and online marketing tools. Domains and hosting remain the core: they act as a direct registrar for many extensions and offer a domain search tool with several hundred TLDs, real-time DNS management and domain transfer features.

On the shared web hosting side, easyname offers four SSD-based packages (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large) aimed at everything from simple blogs to larger company sites and web shops. All hosting plans run on 100% SSD storage, support PHP 5.3–8.x, include MySQL 5.7 and 8, and come with more than 30 Easy Install Apps for one-click deployment of applications like WordPress, Joomla, MediaWiki and various shop systems. Every package includes free Let’s Encrypt SSL, a generous number of email mailboxes (up to thousands per package), unlimited email addresses, spam and virus filtering, webmail, SSH access, cronjobs, backups and 24/7 monitoring. Storage scales from 75 GB up to 600 GB, databases from 10 up to 300, and all tariffs are suitable for multiple domains with unlimited subdomains.

Beyond classic web hosting, there is a Website Builder product line for users who want a drag-and-drop solution. Plans range from simple "Website" packages for brochure-style sites up to "Website + Shop" and "Website + Shop XL" which include a built-in webshop, payment integrations, product management and blogging features. These are clearly aimed at small businesses and freelancers who need a professional site and shop without managing a CMS or code.

For more demanding projects, easyname offers VPS / cloud servers with both Linux and Windows templates. These Cloud Server plans provide full root access, flexible SSD storage, multiple vCores and RAM tiers, and can optionally include Plesk Obsidian for easier administration. They are positioned as an upgrade path once shared hosting is no longer sufficient, suitable for agencies, developers, start-ups and more complex business applications. On top of that, a "Rent a server in Austria" area and a "Solutions" section highlight managed servers, private cloud, shared storage, DDoS protection and managed cluster setups for customers that need tailored infrastructure.

Security and encryption are integrated into the product portfolio. All hosting packages include free Let’s Encrypt certificates, and there is a range of paid SSL certificates (e.g. Business SSL and Wildcard SSL) with 256-bit encryption and 4096-bit keys, automatic installation and SEO benefits. Additional services such as premium technical help (migrations, bug fixing, performance tuning, email client setup) and extended support for older PHP versions round out the offering.

Overall, easyname comes across as a mature, regionally focused host with its own data centers in Vienna, a full spectrum of products from domains to cloud servers, and a mixture of convenience tools (Easy Install Apps, Website Builder) with developer-friendly features (SSH, multiple PHP versions, MySQL 5.7/8, optional Plesk).
