Have I mentioned that I’m a huge fan of European web hosting companies? I’ve reviewed several different providers from lots of regions but the European web hosts are just as preferable as my native ones. What can I say? I have a soft spot for them so I keep looking for new companies to host my websites with and find ones worthy enough for a review.
On a very fine day last month, I stumbled across Hosteur, a Switzerland based company and decided to give it a shot as I first thought it offered the basic hosting solutions. But upon being acquainted with them shortly afterward, I was very pleased to notice that Hosteur is much more than just a hosting company.
In addition to professional web and cloud hosting services, it offers a wide variety of solutions that very few providers are capable of granting. Hosteur offers services such as domain name registrations and transfers, cloud services, pre-configured VPS/Cloud, web accommodation, SSL certificates, SMS marketing, backups, SAAS solutions, dedicated servers, and much more.
After using many of these services, I have to say that I haven’t yet come to regret it. Without further ado, let’s start with this review and get you guys familiar with the wonder that is Hosteur.com
