Create Isolated and Powerful Web Hosting Accounts

The World platform provides a web hosting solution that offers a 100% isolated environment for each of your websites and/or web applications. You may select the physical location of the server for each website, with options in Europe (France, Switzerland) or Canada (Quebec). Additionally, each website is hosted on a distinct infrastructure. The days of relying on a single server or account are over. Also, each account can host an unlimited number of sites. In essence, we allocate you a pool of resources, and you are free to distribute them as you see fit. As an illustration, the standard configuration at 6 euros including tax per month comprises:

You may choose to create a single account and allocate the maximum resources to it, or you may distribute them among as many accounts as you wish, provided that you respect the minimum requirements of one CPU, one GB RAM, and one MB/s I/O, as well as the maximum of eight CPUs, 24 GB RAM, and 24 MB/s I/O per account.

In summary, the standard configuration allows users to create up to eight independent web hosting accounts on two continents, on completely independent infrastructures. Each hosting account can host as many sites as desired. Managing all of this is very simple and intuitive through your PlanetHoster client area.

And of course, the resource pool is expandable to 1,024 CPUs, 2,048 GB of RAM, and 2,048 MB/s of disk I/O. This allows you to have hundreds of independent web hosting accounts on different servers. It’s perfect for web agencies, webmasters, SEO, etc.

Why Choose The World hosting platform?

Selecting The World signifies a commitment to efficiency and reliability. It is therefore unsurprising that PlanetHoster was included in the top 10 hosts for both 2023 and 2024.

Premium Disk Space

The World is built on an N+N cloud architecture. It’s a 100% SSD/NVMe platform, and your data is replicated three times. This ensures performance, stability, and integrity.

There are two options for disk space:

Best-Efforts: “unmetered” disk space that depends on the overall usage capacity of the infrastructure. Subject to specific usage rules (no massive storage allowed, etc., plus d’infos). Perfect for standard needs.
Dedicated: 100% dedicated disk space. You can do whatever you want; we have nothing to say. Perfect for the most demanding needs. It’s the same storage platform as our HybridCloud dedicated servers!

Additionally, we offer a massive storage platform included by default on The World: N0c-Storage.

Massive Disk Space

N0C Storage is a platform designed for storing large files such as archives and items that do not require high-performance disks (SSD). It is ideal for hosting image files, videos, or any other large files on your website. Additionally, N0C Storage can also be used as a content delivery network (CDN) to host your static files.

  • 100GB offered at no cost and extendable to several TB for €0.04 per GB

  • S3 compatible
  • Managed from the hosting file manager

The World Pro: Semi-Dedicated

With The World Pro, we offer a semi-dedicated environment along with the Litespeed Enterprise web server. The semi-dedicated environment means that your hosting account will be on an infrastructure with very few accounts. This allows you to enjoy ultra-high-performance web hosting with a quality of service (stability, performance, security) that is closer to that of a dedicated server. Additionally, with Litespeed Enterprise, you will benefit from a very advanced caching system, ESI, and LiteMage. This is perfect for e-commerce stores that require private parts of the site to be cached, unlike brochure sites/blogs. LiteMage ensures that your Magento store performs at its best.

It is possible to start with a standard The World plan and upgrade to Pro later; our team can handle the migration for you.

The World is an all-in-one shared hosting platform designed by PlanetHoster and offering the latest in innovation and technology. It is based on a cloud infrastructure distributed across our facilities in Europe (France and Switzerland) and North America (Canada).

What is The World web hosting platform?
It is an all-in-one shared hosting platform designed by PlanetHoster, integrating the latest innovations and technologies. Based on a cloud infrastructure distributed across our facilities in Europe (France and Switzerland) and North America (Canada), it offers modern and high-performance solutions.
Could You Please Elaborate on the Subject of Resource Allocation, Particularly With Regard to CPU, RAM, and I/O?

Each World account is equipped with its own CPU (processor), RAM (random access memory), and I/O (disk input/output) resources.
Please note that the resources of a World can be consumed over a defined period of time, dependent on the overall load of the infrastructure. As a shared platform, World resources are not dedicated. PlanetHoster reserves the right to intervene if the stability of the global infrastructure is affected by a World. For a dedicated environment where resources are 100% dedicated, we recommend a HybridCloud.
