The Onion Host provides offshore shared web hosting for website operators, businesses, and projects seeking hosting infrastructure in independent jurisdictions. Its shared plans run in Kyiv, Ukraine, and support websites through LiteSpeed Enterprise, cPanel, Softaculous, NVMe storage, free SSL certificates, and email hosting. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Magento, and other applications can be installed through Softaculous, making the service suitable for users who want conventional shared hosting tools with an offshore location.

Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. Basic costs $5 per month and includes 10 GB of NVMe storage, 1 website, unmetered bandwidth, a free SSL certificate, cPanel, and Softaculous. Pro costs $7.99 per month and increases capacity to 30 GB and up to 5 websites while retaining the same core inclusions. Ultimate costs $17.15 per month and provides 50 GB of NVMe storage and up to 10 websites. All three plans include free SSL, cPanel, Softaculous, and unmetered bandwidth, so the main differences are storage and website limits.

The feature set extends beyond basic hosting administration. LiteSpeed Enterprise adds LSCache, HTTP/3, and QUIC, while CloudLinux account isolation separates hosting accounts. Imunify360 provides malware scanning and a web application firewall, and the service advertises 500 Gbps DDoS mitigation. Email hosting supports webmail plus IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. The Onion Host is a strong fit for users needing multiple application options, cPanel management, and security-oriented hosting features at a low monthly entry price. Users who need a free plan or more than one website on the entry tier should consider Pro or Ultimate instead.
