Web hosting
Simafri web hosting houses your PHP sites and applications, your MySQL databases and your email addresses at your own domain name. You manage it all from your control panel (DirectAdmin), and our team runs the server for you: hardware, system, security and backups.
Three plans
| Perso | Pro | Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain names on the account | 2 | unlimited | unlimited |
| Email addresses | 50 | 200 | unlimited |
| MySQL databases | 5 | 50 | unlimited |
All three plans also include:
- a domain name offered free for the first year, depending on the plan and the extension;
- unlimited disk space, traffic and subdomains;
- HTTPS certificates for each of your domains, installed and renewed automatically;
- unlimited FTP accounts, SSH access and scheduled tasks (cron);
- webmail and anti-spam for your email addresses;
- a backup of the server every night, encrypted, off the machine, kept for seven days;
- installation of your application by our team, WordPress for example, and migration of your existing site.
Each plan is paid yearly. Your hosting moves up to the next plan on simple request, with all its content (see Billing and renewal).
What your hosting runs
- PHP, in several versions to choose per domain, with OPcache;
- MySQL (MariaDB 10.11), with phpMyAdmin;
- Composer, Git, Node.js 24 and npm, Python 3 and Perl on the command line, over SSH;
- PHP frameworks such as Symfony and Laravel, and CMSs such as WordPress, PrestaShop, Joomla and Drupal;
- an Angular, React or Vue front end, built then served as static files.
For an application that stays running continuously (a Node.js server, a PostgreSQL database, a worker), the right offer is the VPS Pro, where you install whatever your application needs.
