Catalyst2 Windows Hosting review
A focused Windows host for ASP.NET sites that need Plesk and SQL Server.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Catalyst2 Windows Hosting provides shared and premium hosting for websites built with ASP.NET, Classic ASP, .NET Core or Microsoft SQL Server. It is aimed at smaller businesses and site owners who want a Windows hosting environment with Plesk, hosted email and Microsoft database support. Plans run on Catalyst2’s VMware cloud hosting platform, while the vendor identifies itself as Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited, trading as Catalyst2, based in Worcester, United Kingdom.
The published plans show a paid-only structure with monthly billing. Mega Plus costs £4.99 per month and includes one hosted domain, 2GB of disk space, 20GB of data transfer, 10 POP/IMAP email accounts, an MSSQL database and ASP.NET 4 scripting. Power costs £7.99 per month for two domains, 3GB of disk space, 40GB of data transfer and 50 email accounts. PowerPlus costs £12.99 per month for five domains, 5GB of disk space, 80GB of data transfer and 100 email accounts. PowerXtra costs £19.99 per month for 10 domains, 15GB of disk space, 160GB of data transfer and 150 email accounts. Mega Deal includes one domain, 1GB of disk space, 5GB of data transfer, one POP/IMAP email account, an MSSQL database and ASP.NET 4 scripting.
Its strongest fit is a Windows-specific workload that benefits from Plesk, SQL Server, SSL certificates and migration assistance in one hosting package. The service also supports package upgrades or downgrades, giving customers a path between tiers as domain, storage, transfer or mailbox needs change. However, the plan structure is intentionally focused: storage ranges from 1GB to 15GB, and the packages center on Windows technologies and POP/IMAP email. Choose Catalyst2 for UK Windows sites using Microsoft web technologies; consider a different type of host for workloads outside that stack.
