TopHost is a hosting company that is based out of Greece and provides a variety of different hosting solutions. Their website TopHost.gr directs to Top.Host, which can be somewhat confusing in some situations, but it is a common marketing option. They have shared hosting, VPS, cloud servers, dedicated servers, content delivery network services, and more available to all their customers. You can also use them to register a domain name, which will help you to get started with your website.
As of the writing of this review, they had more than 14000 customers, 606 physical servers, 52706 hosted domains, and operated out of six datacenters. This is quite impressive for any company. Top Host started in 2005 and has been growing and expanding their services over the course of time to the point where they can now meet the needs of just about any type of customers, including businesses and individuals.
The hosting with this company has a good reputation for quality and stability. They don’t provide any type of uptime guarantee, which many people will find disappointing, but thanks to the great datacenters, good hardware, and other options, it is very unlikely that you will experience any unexpected downtime anyway. If you do run into trouble, their support team is very responsive and will help you to fix everything right away.
You can choose from a number of different hosting features that are available. The shared hosting options come with solid state drives, which is a great feature that will help improve speed and uptime for this type of hosting. They also provide unmetered disk space and bandwidth for their shared hosting options, which makes it so you really don’t have to worry about a thing when running your website.
The VPS options come in four levels, with 2-8 virtual CPU cores depending on what you sign up for. The VPS’s will have 2-6 gigs of RAM and 40-100 gigs of disk space. This disk space is on solid state drives as well, which is very important. The first to VPS package levels have to be on Linux servers, but the top two tiers can be on either Linux or Windows based on your own personal preference.
Once you start looking at the dedicated servers you will be impressed with the fact that they have 18 different options. One of the best things about the dedicated server options is that you can choose the location where they are housed. This includes options in Germany, Netherlands, and France. These servers are all made with name brand hardware and will have sufficient configurations to be able to handle most any type of website.
The technical support teams are always there to help you when you need them. From what users have said, they are experienced technicians who know how to diagnose problems and get things working again fast. They don’t provide anything like a FAQ or knowledge base for learning more about hosting though, which is one downside to their support services.
This is not a discount hosting provider, but they still keep their prices below the industry average. The entry level shared hosting option is just €3.50 per month, and cheaper if you pay annually. The prices for shared hosting do go up to €19.95 for the top level option, and they really consider this more of a ‘semi-dedicated’ solution due to the fact that while shared, the number of users is kept low.
The VPS solutions are priced reasonably once you see that they list the prices at annual rates rather than monthly. Even at this rate though they aren’t the cheapest, but you are getting a good virtual server so it may be worth it to some people. The VPS price range starts at €191.04 per year and goes up as high as €431.04. Dedicated server range in price from €48 per month up to €225 per month. The prices vary depending not only on the hardware that you get, but also the physical location of the server, so keep that in mind when choosing. Given that all the datacenters are in Europe, it may not be worth it to choose a more expensive datacenter solution.
Whether you’re running a simple WordPress site, or you want to stream video, this hosting company will have the solution for you. They have done a good job at making sure that they only house their servers in great quality datacenters with fast connections out to the Internet, which helps to ensure blazing fast speeds at all times. No matter what type of site you run, your visitors will experience quick load times that they will be happy with.
When it comes to hosting in Europe, this is a great company to consider. They aren’t the cheapest, and they aren’t the best in terms of straight quality hosting, but they do have a very nice balance of quality, price, and service. Most people will be very happy with the level of service they are able to get when they work with Top Host.
