Premium hosting on every plan

There is no budget tier and no premium tier. Every site we host runs on the same stack, on servers we own and operate, whichever plan you choose.

LiteSpeed Partner Zinn Digital® is an official LiteSpeed Partner. Every site we host runs on licensed LiteSpeed Enterprise with the LSCache plugin — the fastest way to serve WordPress and WooCommerce — tuned, licensed and kept up to date by us, never the free build.

Our own servers

Every plan runs on hardware we own and operate, not on capacity rented from another host. When you report a problem, nobody stands between us and the fix.

Licensed LiteSpeed Enterprise

A full LiteSpeed Enterprise licence on every server, with LSCache page caching built in, so your pages are served fast without extra plugins or setup.

Every site isolated

Each site runs in its own container with its own CPU, memory and I/O limits, so a busy or compromised neighbour cannot slow it down or reach its files.

Our own caching layer

Server-side page and object caching that we run and tune ourselves, with one-click purge from your dashboard or from inside WordPress.

Backups we take and keep

Daily backups of every site, kept for 30 days and restorable one site at a time in a single click.

Watched day and night

We watch every server and every site ourselves, day and night, and act on a problem as soon as it appears.

Plans and pricing

Three plans, priced like our WordPress hosting. The difference is that you choose what runs here, and the larger plans lift the limits on databases and subdomains.

What you pay when the first term ends

Cheap hosting is usually cheap once. The industry sells a low first term paid years in advance and then renews at several times the price you signed up at. We do not do that, and here is the arithmetic beside three hosts that do.

HostWhat you pay up front for the advertised priceWhat the price does on renewal
Zinn Digital®Nothing — pay monthly, or pay for a year up front and save. Every plan shows both prices before you buy.Nothing. The price you see is the price you renew at
SiteGround12 months, in advanceMultiplies by 5.3
Hostinger48 months, in advanceMultiplies by 3.6
Bluehost36 months, in advanceMultiplies by 2.5

Read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-09-08. Their prices are theirs and they change; the multiple is the renewal price they publish divided by the price they advertise beside it.

Included with every plan

Not add-ons, and nothing extra to buy. These come with the line you are looking at.

Wayback restore

Buy an expired domain and put its old site back on it — pages, images, styling and internal links, at the addresses they had. Pick any date the public web archive holds, not just the last one, and we rebuild it as static HTML or as a WordPress site you can keep writing on.

See how it works

The web editor

On every site we host on our own fleet — a site you deploy elsewhere is edited there — open a full editor in your browser from the site's page and work on its real files, with git built in and the whole editor inside the same isolated jail as your SFTP access. Nothing to install, and it edits the live site: a file you save is public the moment it is written, though a static file may keep serving from the CDN cache for up to four hours.

See how it works

Zinnector®, the developer CLI

Free and MIT-licensed. Scaffold a WordPress site, run it on your own machine, pre-flight it against the slot you are about to deploy to, then deploy. Built on the same public API our dashboard uses, and it needs Node 24 or newer.

See how it works

MCP server for your AI

Connect the AI you already use — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — to your hosting over one Model Context Protocol server, and it can work on your sites through the same API and the same permissions the dashboard uses. Read-only by default — a tool that can change something has to be enabled for you first, so an agent cannot widen its own reach.

See how it works

Per-site developer access

Invite a developer by email address and fence them to one site. They sign in as themselves with a viewer, editor or manager role, every other site answers 404, and the account owner can revoke it in one click.

See how it works

Origin lock and locked-down servers

Your site answers only through our CDN — attackers cannot go round it to your server's IP address — and the servers' admin ports open only to our own systems.

See how it works

Website email that arrives

Password resets, contact forms and shop receipts are signed with SPF and DKIM so they land in the inbox, and queued and retried if a mail server is briefly down.

See how it works

Send through your own mail service

Prefer Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or your own SMTP server? Connect it and your website sends through it — tested before it is used, with automatic fallback.

See how it works

Virus and spam filtering on every mailbox

Every message is scanned for viruses and checked against live spam blocklists, and forwarded mail stays trusted with SRS and ARC.

See how it works

A backup mail server

If the main mail server is ever down, a second one holds your mail until it is back — nothing is lost, and made-up addresses are refused so you are not used to spread spam.

See how it works

Mail apps set themselves up

Outlook, Apple Mail and phones find your mail settings automatically — type the address and password, and it works.

See how it works

Support is included, and somebody is always there

Every plan comes with it. There is no support tier to buy, no per-incident charge and no ticket allowance — and the desk is open 24 hours a day.

Free on every plan

Support is part of hosting, not an upsell. It is the same support on the smallest plan as on the largest, and nothing about it is counted or capped per incident.

Open 24 hours a day

Whatever hour you are working and whatever time zone you are in, the desk is staffed. You are not writing into an inbox that opens in the morning.

Every one of our 58 languages

Write your ticket in the language you actually think in — we translate it for our team and answer you in yours, with the original always one click away. We sell in all 58.

A person, not a bot

Our assistant answers instantly from the knowledge base, but it never closes a ticket for you. A ticket is picked up and answered by somebody who can act on it.

Renewable power, where we can show it

Our servers in Finland and Germany run on renewable electricity — sourced that way, not offset after the fact. For our United States and Singapore locations we have not verified the supply, so we do not claim it.

  • Renewable electricity in our Finland and Germany data centres
  • Data centres running at a PUE of 1.1 to 1.2
  • Sites on our shared platform pass the Green Web Foundation's checks — a third party you can verify for yourself

Questions people ask before they buy

What can I install in one click?

Every application our installer ships, including Drupal, Joomla, Laravel, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Moodle, Matomo, SuiteCRM, Nextcloud and phpBB — each installed with its database and tuned for our servers. Our applications index lists every one with what it does.

How many databases do I get?

Linux Basic and Linux Business include two MySQL databases each; Linux Pro has no database cap.

Do I get SSH access?

Yes, SSH and SFTP, plus Git deployment and scheduled tasks. This is a plan you can develop on, not just publish to.

Which PHP versions can I run?

You can switch PHP version yourself at any time, and control the settings and extensions from your dashboard.

Can I host more than one site?

Each plan is for one website, with subdomains included — two on Linux Basic, four on Linux Business and as many as you need on Linux Pro. Each further website needs a plan of its own.

Is Magento available?

Not on this plan. Magento needs a search stack that shared hosting cannot give it properly, so we offer it as a cloud server with Elasticsearch rather than pretend it fits here.
