Our verdict on Antagonist

Antagonist provides managed, container-based web hosting for starters, entrepreneurs, businesses and online shops. Its service combines allocated CPU and RAM with SSD storage, DirectAdmin, free SSL certificates, email hosting, databases and one-click application installation through Installatron. Customers can host PHP applications, use MySQL or MariaDB, select PHP versions and access sites through SSH. WordPress, Joomla, Magento, WooCommerce and PrestaShop are among the supported applications, while the service is accessed through the web.

The three annual-billing plans scale by website count, storage and data transfer. Slim costs €9.99 per month for 1 website, 50 GB SSD storage and 2 TB data transfer, with DirectAdmin, unlimited email accounts and free SSL. Plus costs €17.99 per month for up to 3 websites, 75 GB SSD storage and 3 TB data transfer, adding a 128 MB Redis cache, Python and Node.js support, and automated backups. Pro costs €29.99 per month for up to 5 websites, 100 GB SSD storage and 4 TB data transfer, with a 256 MB Redis cache, automated backups and positioning for shops and e-commerce. Prices exclude VAT, and the plans use annual billing.

Antagonist fits customers who want managed hosting with allocated resources and a control panel rather than assembling a hosting stack themselves. Unlimited email with webmail and spam filters, free SSL, migration assistance and Installatron support make it suitable for business websites and online services that need more than basic file hosting. The higher tiers are the stronger match for multiple sites, application development or online shops because they add more capacity, Redis cache, broader runtime support and automated backups. Choose another option if you need a free plan, monthly billing, or a single low-cost package with the same capabilities across every tier.
