Our verdict on Hostpoint

Hostpoint provides shared web hosting for individuals, self-employed users, startups, developers and SMEs. Its service combines website storage, domains, DNS administration, email, MariaDB databases, SSL certificates, backups and CMS installation in a managed environment. The Hostpoint Control Panel handles hosting services, while SFTP and SSH access support more technical administration. Infrastructure and customer data are located in Switzerland, and the service is available through the web.

The three plans mainly differ in capacity and included allowances. Standard costs CHF 15.90 per month and includes 100 GB web storage, up to 10 domains, unlimited mailboxes with 5 GB each, 10 MariaDB databases, 30 days of backup availability and a FreeSSL certificate. Smart costs CHF 17.90 per month, raises storage to 500 GB and domains to 50, extends backup availability to 90 days and adds free migration. Business costs CHF 29.90 per month, with 1,000 GB of storage, up to 100 domains, 180 days of backup availability and free migration. All three plans include unlimited 5 GB mailboxes and FreeSSL.

Hostpoint is particularly suited to organizations that need substantial email capacity alongside conventional website hosting. One-click installation supports WordPress, Joomla!, TYPO3 and Drupal, while phpMyAdmin provides database management. Automatic backups, SSL and migration reduce the number of separate hosting tasks involved in moving a site. The trade-off is cost: the entry plan starts at CHF 15.90 monthly, and Standard has a smaller domain allowance than the higher tiers. Buyers seeking inexpensive basic hosting may prefer a lower-priced alternative, while established businesses, developers and SMEs with multiple domains, email-heavy operations or Swiss-hosted infrastructure are the clearest fit. A 30-day free hosting trial provides time to assess the service before continuing.
