What is Custom Hosting

What is Custom Hosting

If you already understand what hosting is in the context of websites, email, and development, then the concept of Custom Hosting is easy to grasp. But if you're unsure, you might want to start with our article: What Is Hosting?

Traditional hosting is made up of fixed components or features—like disk space, email accounts, and databases—which are bundled into static packages. These packages vary between hosting companies and are often rigid in structure.

Why Custom Hosting?

Let’s say you’re choosing between three packages: 1GB, 3GB, and 5GB. Each comes with a fixed number of features. You might only need 2 email accounts but require 5GB of space. In most cases, you’ll be forced to buy the larger package and pay for features you don’t need.

Custom Hosting solves this by letting you pick exactly what you want. You set the specs—nothing more, nothing less. It’s flexible, scalable, and cost-effective.
