Our verdict
1Gbits suits small teams that want server space of their own rather than a shared plan. Entry pricing starts at $14.49, the catalogue is limited to dedicated and vps, and a wide region list comes with it. Weigh it if you are buying servers rather than templates.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A choice of AU, AT and BE lets you place a site near the audience you actually serve
- A focused catalogue of dedicated and vps keeps plan differences in size rather than in kind
- Founded in 2012 and based in Lithuania, so a long operating record in Europe
Cons
- Shared hosting is not among the listed hosting types (dedicated and vps), so the field's cheapest plans are out of reach
- The range covers dedicated and vps only, so a later move to shared hosting means a different provider
- $14.49 is the only 1Gbits figure here, against a field renewal median of €6.14 for what a plan can cost later
Who it suits
- Small businesses that already know they need a VPS or a dedicated server
- Teams with visitors spread across Europe, Asia and North America
- Buyers who want one provider for both dedicated and vps instead of mixing vendors
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after shared hosting, who get more choice at Hosting.cl, listed at CLP 159,900
- Buyers on a minimal budget weighing Render, listed at $0
- Anyone wanting a wider plan range than dedicated and vps gives, where Afrihost, listed at ZAR 84, sits in a different market
Core features
1Gbits keeps its range to dedicated and vps. That is narrower than most hosts, though it makes plans easier to compare because they differ in size rather than in kind. Sites run across AU, AT and BE, so region choice shapes the decision from the start.
The company behind it
1Gbits is headquartered in Lithuania and was founded in 2012. Being based in Lithuania places it among the smaller European operators on this comparison, and a long operating record says the company is likely to be running when a plan comes up for renewal.

Frequently asked questions
How much does 1Gbits cost to get started?+
Entry pricing starts at $14.49. For context, the intro median across web hosting on the site is €2.95 and the highest listed figure is €65.77, so this sits toward the cheaper end of the field.
What kinds of hosting does 1Gbits sell?+
The range covers dedicated and vps. Anyone after shared hosting would find none in that list and would do better with a provider that lists cheaper shared plans next to its servers, such as Hosting.cl at CLP 159,900.
Which countries can I run a 1Gbits site in?+
1Gbits lists sites across AU, AT and BE. Pick the location that sits closest to the audience you actually serve, and treat the region as part of choosing the plan rather than something settled afterwards.
What does 1Gbits cost at renewal?+
The 1Gbits figure here is the entry price of $14.49, and the renewal side of the field sits at a median of €6.14. Use that median as the yardstick for what a comparable server plan tends to cost once the first term ends.
When was 1Gbits founded and where is it based?+
The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Lithuania. That makes it a long established European operation rather than a recent entrant, and it plans renewals years out from the same base.
Is 1Gbits a good fit for a small business?+
It suits small businesses that need a VPS or a dedicated server rather than shared space. The entry price of $14.49 and the region list of AU, AT and BE both help a site with a modest budget and a wide audience.
