Stablepoint’s founders also founded other global hosting brands, SpeedyDot, tsoHOST, and Vidahost (now part of tsoHOST). In 2019, they set out to create a new web hosting company to provide scalable cloud hosting solutions that do not compromise on quality.
The new host, Stablepoint, is headquartered in the United Kingdom but has staff located all around the world. Besides cloud hosting services, it also offers reseller hosting, server solutions, WordPress hosting, and domain name registration services, and sometimes provides infrastructure to other web hosting companies. In 2022, both Hostica and Limenex merged with Stablepoint after having relied upon its hosting and support services for over a year.
Features and Ease of Use
Stablepoint’s cloud-based web hosting solutions come with these features as standard:
- WHM/cPanel control panel
- Free SSL certificate
- Unlimited monthly bandwidth
- Support for WordPress and other software
- Unlimited email accounts
- Free website migration
- Free domain name registration
Stablepoint has partnered with some of the leading cloud providers — including Digital Ocean, Amazon, and Google — to provide customers with the best hosting experience at 80+ locations in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Oceania. All server locations are PCI-compliant, and the servers use super-fast SSD storage.
If you know how to, you can create a database-backed website using the PHP and MySQL combination. And you can be sure your data is safe, thanks to the twice-daily remote backups that allow you to roll back in the event of a data disaster.
Security features include Anycast DNS, Imunify360, custom firewalls, free Cloudflare CDN, and live kernel updates.
Pricing and Support
Stablepoint offers hosting plans with higher pricing, but it might be a case of receiving commensurate value for your investment. The pricing is in British pounds; however, during checkout, you have the option to switch to U.S. dollars or euros. You will benefit from an exceptionally generous 60-day money-back guarantee, which is twice the refund window provided by many other hosts.
Although the 99.9% uptime guarantee is merely average for the industry, it pays out a month’s worth of free hosting if this level isn’t met.
Stablepoint’s help center is available 24/7/365 to help customers with hosting issues. You can make contact via dedicated U.K. and U.S. telephone numbers, a ticket system, email, or live chat. I’m pleased to say that my test ticket submission was answered within an hour:
If you prefer to try supporting yourself, you’ll find a pretty comprehensive knowledge base.
