1 review
is*hosting — a European provider of high-performance servers, registered in Estonia. The company places its own racks in 35 countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, the USA, Hong Kong, and Russia, focusing on "bare metal" SuperMicro/DELL hardware and Juniper networks in Tier-3+ data centers.
Security
DDoS filtering is enabled by default and operates at the hardware level; the base limit is 10 Gbit/s, and if exceeded, the channel is throttled to 1 Gbit/s until the attack ends. Backups are created weekly and stored for 7 days for free; daily snapshots can be enabled if needed. Authentication logs are available via the Customer Portal.
Pricing Policy
Basic VPS from the provider can be activated with monthly billing, and the price is fixed for the entire contract term. Overall, is*hosting operates in the mid-budget segment and focuses on predictable costs. An annual prepayment grants a permanent discount, and prices for additional IP addresses and subnets are listed upfront in the price list, with no hidden fees. Dedicated servers are offered as a separate product line, designed for tasks where stable pricing is more important than a set of premium options.
Infrastructure
Server management is performed via the Customer Portal: you can select an operating system, reboot the instance, connect to the VNC console, and view basic resource statistics. If necessary, uploading your own ISO image is supported. Network parameters include gigabit channels and ports up to 1 Gbit/s with unlimited traffic, and an upgrade to 10 Gbit/s is available for an additional fee. The VPS are based on KVM virtualization with NVMe drives in RAID arrays; overselling is not advertised in the specifications.
Data Centers
Infrastru The provider's infrastructure is distributed across dozens of locations worldwide — about 35 points in total across Europe, the USA, and Asia, including Germany, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and other major network hubs. All facilities meet Tier III+ standards and are equipped with redundant power supplies with diesel generators. Latency from European locations to Moscow is about 35–45 ms, to New York — approximately 25 ms, to Hong Kong — around 40 ms. Server migration between regions is not automated: to change locations, you will need to deploy a new instance and transfer data manually. Direct connection to major traffic exchange points, such as AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and HKIX, helps ensure low latency for a global audience.
