Control Panel
Manage your web hosting account with the Hostpoint Control Panel: you can add domains, create new e-mail addresses, arrange your data and much, much more! It offers almost unlimited possibilities – everything a professional developer could wish for. Yet it is so simple to operate that even less experienced users soon feel like pros. A few of your options:
Setting up e-mail
Creating a new e-mail address is
just as easy as setting up an e-mail autoresponder that replies to e-mails with an out-of-office notice when you’re away. Create a mailing list to simplify the exchange of information within a group.

Technology
Our web hosting platform is at the core of our services. It guarantees our customers the highest possible performance and availability. That’s why we rely exclusively on top-quality hardware and software from leading manufacturers and combine them with our very own Control Panel.
Maximum performance thanks to 100 % SSD
All services on our web hosting platform are separate. Load balancing systems distribute loads between several different computers for services associated with especially high loads. This allows us to optimize and maximize performance for you – even when traffic increases. We've also developed applications that boost the speed of PHP or MariaDB. We always operate current high-speed brand-name servers that include high-performance Intel CPUs and large RAM capacity to give your website an extra boost. An ultra-fast all-flash storage solution for databases and our new storage cluster with 100% SSD hard drives (NVMe) ensure even more speed, cutting down webpage loading times as a result.

Redundant and powerful network
As a webspace provider, Hostpoint operates its own network, designed to provide redundancy, stability and speed. The network is connected to the Internet via two powerful Cisco routers, each of which has a connection with two separate carriers and peering partners. This setup is known as “multihoming.” Even if one router fails, the Hostpoint network can be accessed without interruption via the second router. If the connection to one carrier is interrupted, both routers can route data via the other carrier.

Intelligent load distribution
On our high-performance web hosting platform, all services are run separately and cannot compete for the same resources. In other words, web, database, e-mail, backup, administration and other services do not share the same server or server cluster. For resource-intensive services such as e-mail, Cloud Office or the Hostpoint Control Panel, we also employ so-called load balancing systems.

High-availability storage cluster
We are a reliable hosting partner offering secure storage cluster solutions: multiple independent clusters connected via a fast internal network with all web, e-mail, database and administration servers. The clusters store all customer data on external disk arrays and mirror them in another room (separate fire protection zone). The disk arrays are identical and also redundantly configured to always prevent loss of data even if an individual disk or disk array fails. This guarantees secure availability as well as maximum data security and system stability.

State-of-the-art hardware
We use the latest technology from top manufacturers and our servers are regularly maintained to the highest professional standards. If a component fails, we replace the hardware immediately – without you or your customers noticing a thing.

Multi-level caching
All web hosting services take advantage of Hostpoint multi-level caching. Combining multiple, extra-large capacity RAM can speed up loading times considerably for your website: PHP cache (RAM), file system cache (RAM), storage cache (RAM and SSD), database cache (RAM and SSD).

Among other things, this includes separate fire protection zones, redundant electrical circuits and around-the-clock security surveillance. The data center meets FINMA-RS 08/07 (outsourcing banks) requirements and is ISO-27001-certified.

Backup up to 180 days
Web, e-mail and database backups are kept for up to 180 days depending on the web hosting package.

For backups going back more than two weeks and up to one month, one backup per day is kept; one weekly backup is kept for the period going back 1-6 months. Data backups are available for up to 180 days for Business web hosting, up to 90 days for Smart web hosting and up to 30 days for Standard web hosting. Your data is backed up exclusively in Switzerland.
