Serverion review

Web hosting opens at an introductory price of €2.50 on the entry plan. That figure covers the initial term, so read the terms for the renewal amount before you sign up. For scale, the middle entry price across the compared sites is €2.99, with a low of €0 and a high of €65.77.

The catalogue runs from shared hosting, reseller hosting and cloud hosting through virtual private servers, dedicated servers, colocation, big data servers and GPU servers, with managed CMS hosting for WordPress, Magento, Drupal and Laravel, plus SEO, RDP, onion, VOIP/PBX and blockchain masternode hosting (shared hosting, reseller hosting and cloud hosting). New sites typically start small and step up later.

Free SSL, backups and email sit in the web hosting plans (free ssl, backups and email). Email is the feature most often listed across the compared sites (93.2%) and backups are close behind (92.4%). Staging and CDN are not among the Serverion features (free ssl, backups and email), so shops needing a CDN should budget extra.

The data centre list reaches far beyond Europe: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Warsaw, Stockholm and Bucharest sit alongside Miami, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Lima, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Moscow (Amsterdam, The Hague and Stockholm). Pick the region nearest your visitors for the shortest route.

Serverion offers a 30 day money-back period, which matches the middle of the range across the compared sites: their middle value is 30 and their longest is 180. That leaves room to test hosting and email on a real site before settling.

Support runs on email, phone and a help centre (email, phone and help centre). Phone suits urgent hosting problems, and the help centre answers routine questions. A help centre is common among the compared sites (84.5%), while live chat is not part of the Serverion support list (email, phone and help centre).

Web hosting plans cover 1 to unlimited websites, so a single site and a portfolio both fit. The audience Serverion names is beginners and small business (beginners and small business), and bigger portfolios can move to reseller or dedicated servers (shared hosting, reseller hosting and cloud hosting) without changing supplier.

Serverion targets beginners and small businesses (beginners and small business), and small business is the most common fit across the compared sites (94.5%). Beginners get a low entry point on web hosting at €2.50, while small businesses can stay with the same supplier as they grow into cloud or dedicated servers (shared hosting, reseller hosting and cloud hosting).

Serverion publishes an uptime guarantee of 99.9% through its service level agreement, alongside a 30 day money-back period (30). The guarantee allows a small share of downtime in a year, so read the agreement for what counts as an exception.
