Compare hosts
Pick the host you are on now and see, row by row, what you pay there and what you get here.
Cancel within thirty days of your first invoice and we refund that payment in full. It is clause 1 of our Refund Policy, published on this site, so you can read it before you spend anything.
Our Price Lock Promise holds your renewal price at whatever you signed up for, for as long as you stay on the plan. New customers may pay a different rate; yours stays where it started.
You are billed in your own currency, not converted from another one at a rate you did not choose. Each currency has its own catalogue price, and that is the price the charge is built from.
Kora answers straight away, at any hour. When you need a person, our team picks it up.
Start gives you 10 GB, Pro 50 GB and Scale 200 GB, read from the same catalogue that bills you. Cloud Power is sold as unlimited and the Fair Use Policy prints the point where that stops: 20 TB of traffic, 500 GB of storage and 500 mailboxes. We email you the day you reach one of them.
