Hosting Provider IPhoster

IPhoster offers both classic website services (shared hosting, domains) and infrastructure services — VPS/VDS and dedicated servers. The focus is on clear, basic capabilities that are important for day-to-day operations: fast server deployment, image management, convenient error recovery, and the ability to scale without changing providers.

Security

In terms of security, the emphasis is typically divided into two levels: what the platform provides by default and what can be connected as options. For VPS, mechanisms that simplify recovery are claimed — snapshots and backup to a remote site.

Separately, there are services for configuring external network protection (e.g., via CDN/proxy services), which is suitable for projects with uneven loads and traffic risks, but requires you to assess in advance which measures are needed for your specific scenario.

Pricing Policy

In terms of entry-level tariffs, IPhoster belongs to the budget or lower-middle segment. This usually means a low entry barrier for small projects and test tasks, while advanced features (additional IP addresses, control panels, one-time engineering work) are more often offered as separate items.

This approach is convenient when you want to assemble a configuration "as needed" and not overpay for what you don't use.

Infrastructure

For VPS, IPhoster claims KVM virtualization and NVMe storage, as well as tools that simplify administration: console access, ISO mounting, OS reinstallation from the panel, and working with snapshots.

Public materials also mention the thesis of regular server hardware updates, which indirectly indicates a planned approach to maintaining platform performance.

Data Centers

The provider's geography is divided by product. For shared hosting, European locations are usually specified, while for KVM-VPS the list

locations are broader and include several countries in Europe and North America.

This is useful when you need to reduce latency to your audience or meet data residency requirements in a specific jurisdiction. When choosing a region, it's worth considering not only the country but also how the network routes to your users are structured.

Advantages

— KVM-VPS with NVMe drives and convenient management tools (console, ISO, OS reinstallation);
— the ability to use snapshots and backups as a basis for recovery and migrations;
— several VPS locations, including Europe and North America — easier to select a region for your audience;
— availability of additional options (IP addresses, control panels, one-time setup work) if you need a «custom-built» approach.

Disadvantages

Some features that are critical for certain clients may be offered as separate options or depend on the specific product line. This applies to network protection measures, the set of control panels, and service work.

Therefore, before purchasing, it is important to verify what exactly is included in the chosen plan, how backups are structured (frequency, retention period, recovery conditions), and which services are connected separately.

Technologies Used

In the cloud part, the key technology is KVM virtualization. Standard features mentioned include VNC access, connecting ISO images, OS reinstallation from the panel, snapshots, and backup options.

For administration, control panels of various classes are available — from free solutions to commercial ones, which are connected via subscription.

Customer Support

The provider's support is typically built around a ticket system and a knowledge base, which is convenient for technical inquiries: correspondence is recorded, and you can attach logs and server parameters.
