Isolated by design, built for WordPress
Most hosting puts many customers on one server and hands them a general-purpose panel. We built the platform the other way round.
Isolated by design
- Every site runs in its own isolated environment, with its own CPU, memory, storage, network rules and dedicated database.
- Network rules stop one site from reaching any other site on the platform, so a problem stays where it started.
- We tested it: with one site pinned at 100% CPU, the site next to it stayed within measurement noise; a site driven out of memory was stopped at its own limit while its neighbour kept serving every request.
Built for WordPress
- We host WordPress only, so every layer, from the web server and PHP to caching and the dashboard, is set up for it rather than adapted from generic hosting.
- WordPress core, PHP and the web server are baked into a read-only image; only your content changes. Updates roll out as new instances behind health checks, with no downtime.
- Your images and uploads aren't stored on your web server. They live on replicated object storage and are served straight from there, without going through WordPress, so loading them never takes computing power away from your pages, and a server failure never loses them.
- The dashboard manages WordPress sites, not a server: staging, plugins, logs, firewall events and cost, per site.

Choosing between us
Neither host is right for everyone. Here is where each one is the better choice.
Hostinger is the better fit if
- You want the lowest monthly price and are happy to prepay four years.
- You want email included with the hosting.
- You want to pick a data centre outside Europe.
Grandhosting is the better fit if
- You don't want to prepay. Micro is €3.49 + VAT month to month with no separate renewal price; Premium renews at €9.99.
- You want daily backups kept 30 days on your entry plan, not weekly.
- Your site has busy days. On Standard it adds instances by itself rather than slowing down or showing 503 errors at a plan limit.
- You want your data in the EU without having to choose it.
What you get either way: a CDN, free SSL, staging, free migration, their own dashboard. These are standard now, so they shouldn’t decide it. What happens when your site gets busy, or breaks, should.
Moving from Hostinger
Migration is free and handled by our team: files, database, DNS and SSL. Your Hostinger site keeps running untouched until you switch, so if anything isn’t right you point the domain back. You can also try the platform first on a free demo site: 30 days for founding members, 14 days standard, no credit card. How migration works.
Grandhosting vs Hostinger, answered
Hostinger's €2.99 needs 48 months paid upfront (€143.52) and renews at €9.99 a month. Our €3.49 + VAT is paid monthly, with no commitment and no separate renewal price. Over the first four years Hostinger costs less if you prepay; after that, and if you might leave sooner, we do. You also get daily backups instead of weekly.
Τα 2,99 € του Hostinger απαιτούν προπληρωμή 48 μηνών (143,52 €) και ανανεώνονται στα 9,99 € τον μήνα. Τα δικά μας 3,49 € + ΦΠΑ πληρώνονται μηνιαία, χωρίς δέσμευση και χωρίς ξεχωριστή τιμή ανανέωσης. Τα πρώτα τέσσερα χρόνια το Hostinger κοστίζει λιγότερο αν προπληρώσετε· μετά, ή αν ίσως φύγετε νωρίτερα, κοστίζουμε εμείς λιγότερο. Επιπλέον έχετε καθημερινά backups αντί για εβδομαδιαία.
Hostinger says a site at its plan limits slows down or shows 503 errors, and the fix is to upgrade. On our Standard tier the site adds instances automatically for the spike and you pay for the compute used, which you can cap with a monthly spending limit.
Το Hostinger αναφέρει ότι ένα site στα όρια του πακέτου του επιβραδύνεται ή εμφανίζει σφάλματα 503, και η λύση είναι η αναβάθμιση. Στο Standard μας το site προσθέτει αυτόματα instances για την αιχμή και πληρώνετε την υπολογιστική ισχύ που χρησιμοποιήθηκε, την οποία μπορείτε να περιορίσετε με μηνιαίο όριο δαπάνης.
Yes, free. Our team moves the files, database, DNS and SSL, and your Hostinger site keeps running until you switch. Email isn't part of our hosting, so keep your mailbox where it is or move it to one of ours, from €1.90 a month + VAT.
Ναι, δωρεάν. Η ομάδα μας μεταφέρει αρχεία, βάση δεδομένων, DNS και SSL, και το site σας στο Hostinger συνεχίζει να λειτουργεί μέχρι να κάνετε την αλλαγή. Το email δεν περιλαμβάνεται στη φιλοξενία μας, οπότε κρατήστε το γραμματοκιβώτιό σας εκεί που είναι ή μεταφέρετέ το σε δικό μας, από 1,90 € τον μήνα + ΦΠΑ.
