What to look for when comparing webhosting?

Comparing webhosting goes beyond monthly price. The cheapest provider is rarely the best choice if you want reliable hosting with quick help when you need it. We recommend looking at:

  • Personal support: do you talk to experts or a call centre?
  • Security: CloudLinux and Imunify360 protect your site from malware and abuse.
  • Uptime and datacentre: Tier 3+ in the Netherlands means stable hosting.
  • Control panel: DirectAdmin is stable, fast, and clear.
  • SSL and email: free Let's Encrypt and Roundcube webmail are standard.
  • Upgrade path: when your site grows, you should be able to upgrade easily.

No mass product

PlanetNode does not position itself as the cheapest, but as the best in our field. No bots, no queue. For questions, you talk to people who understand your website and hosting. We advise honestly and transparently — sometimes a smaller plan is enough. Not sure? Call or email, we'll help you compare.
