Pros and cons
Pros
- Plans span shared hosting, VPS and dedicated servers, plus domain registration and SMTP email (shared hosting, vps and dedicated server)
- Free SSL, backups and email are part of the package (free ssl, backups and email)
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach a person by phone
- Site limits scale by plan: 5 on ECO, 10 on MULTI, unlimited on PRO, VIP and EXTREME VIP
Cons
- A single location, Budapest, Hungary (BIX), so Hungarian visitors are served closer but distant ones further away
- The uptime promise of 99.8% sits below what many web hosting listings show as typical
Who it suits
- Beginners who want a simple shared plan with email and a domain from one place
- Small businesses that need VPS or a dedicated server later without moving provider
- Hungarian sites whose audience is mainly local
Who should look elsewhere
- Render, if you want to deploy from code rather than buy shared hosting
- Afrihost, if you would rather pay in a different currency outside Hungary
- Hosting.cl, if you are comparing entry prices in Chilean pesos
Intro and renewal prices
Shared hosting starts at HUF 1,583.33 to HUF 30,000, billed for a 12 term, so the entry figure covers a full year rather than a promotional month. Domains come from the same account: a .com costs HUF 6,500 in the first year, renews at HUF 6,500 and transfers in at HUF 6,500. Prices are quoted in Budapest, Hungary (BIX) country currency terms, which keeps budgeting simple if you are based in Hungary.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the company publishes an uptime guarantee of 99.8% alongside its plan details.

Frequently asked questions
What does hosting cost at MediaCenter Hungary?+
Shared hosting plans start at HUF 1,583.33 to HUF 30,000, billed for a 12 term. The range covers the smaller shared tiers through the larger ones, so the entry price is a real starting point rather than a headline rate for a single month. Higher plans carry more websites and resources.
How much is a .com domain at renewal?+
A .com costs HUF 6,500 in the first year and renews at HUF 6,500. Transferring an existing .com in costs HUF 6,500. Registration and hosting can be handled through the same account, which keeps renewal dates together.
What is included in the shared hosting plans?+
Every shared plan carries free ssl, backups and email, so SSL, backups and email are part of the package rather than paid extras. The number of sites you can run depends on the plan: 5 on ECO, 10 on MULTI, unlimited on PRO, VIP and EXTREME VIP. That spread lets a single site start cheaply and room to grow later.
Who does MediaCenter Hungary suit?+
The provider is aimed at beginners and small business. Shared plans cover the simpler cases, while shared hosting, vps and dedicated server also covers VPS, dedicated servers, domain registration and SMTP email, so a small business can stay with one provider as its needs grow.
Where are the servers and how fast are they?+
Hosting runs from Budapest, Hungary (BIX), and the company publishes an uptime guarantee of 99.8%. Hungarian visitors are served from close range, though sites with a mostly international audience may prefer a provider with several regions.
How do I get support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. Phone suits urgent hosting problems, email works for anything that needs a written record, and the help centre covers routine questions on plans and domains.
How long has the company been running?+
MediaCenter Hungary Kft. has been trading since 1995 and is registered in Hungary. Its plans, domain pricing and technical details are all published under one company, so support, billing and the legal entity line up.
