MinHost Reviews

MinHost is a Norwegian web hosting provider established in May 2009. The company focuses on delivering secure, fast, and stable hosting solutions, primarily targeting customers within Norway, requiring a valid Norwegian postal address. Their main offering appears to be a single, feature-rich shared hosting plan designed for medium to large websites, including e-commerce platforms. Key features include substantial SSD storage (originally 100GB, later mentioned as 200GB), significant bandwidth (2TB), the ability to host up to 50 domains, MariaDB databases, and free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. MinHost utilizes the DirectAdmin control panel, known for its security and user-friendliness, which they have customized further. Their infrastructure relies on modern hardware housed in a DigiPlex data center in Oslo, Norway, with servers replaced every four years and equipped with enterprise SSDs in RAID 10 configuration for performance and reliability. They emphasize transparency with no hidden fees and include services like daily backups (via R1Soft with a 48-day retention period), support, and domain additions in their fixed price. While experienced PHP users might find the service suitable due to included features like phpMyAdmin, shell access, and cron jobs, the lack of a website builder or one-click installer suggests it's less geared towards beginners. Support is provided in Norwegian only. The website minhost.no now redirects to proisp.no, indicating a possible acquisition or merger.
