247-Host review
A feature-rich shared host for small sites, though SSL is limited to Gold.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
247-Host provides shared web hosting for personal websites, blogs, portfolios and business websites. Its plans use the DirectAdmin control panel and include unlimited SSD storage and traffic, weekly backups, free website migration and email hosting. The service is web-based, with support for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and phpBB through 400+ one-click application installs. It also supports MariaDB, MySQL, FTP and webmail with POP3/IMAP access.
The two shared plans mainly differ in site and email capacity. Silver costs $6.99 per month and supports 1 website, 1 email account, unlimited SSD space and traffic, weekly backups and free migration. Gold costs $8.99 per month and adds unlimited websites, unlimited email accounts and free unlimited SSL, while retaining unlimited SSD space and traffic, weekly backups, migration and DirectAdmin. Both plans are billed monthly, and the published prices use the regular Silver price rather than promotional pricing.
For onboarding and ongoing administration, DirectAdmin, free migration and one-click installs reduce the amount of manual setup required for common website stacks. Weekly backups, 24/7 support and a 45-day money-back guarantee add practical safeguards for small-site owners. The main tradeoff is plan scope: Silver is suited to a single site with modest email needs, while Gold is the clearer fit for multiple websites or broader email and SSL requirements. Choose 247-Host for generous shared resources and broad application support; consider another host if a lower starting price or SSL on the entry plan is the priority.
