Dedicated Resources, High Performance, and Security… Sounds About Right

TL; DR: High performance is key to a smooth user experience. Good thing VerticHost offers this and so much more. The web host specializes in highly performant VPS hosting that enables users to create and host projects with only dedicated resources. Since VerticHost is based in Romania, it also follows strict data privacy laws to ensure your protection. We spoke with Anna Alexandrovna, Head of Marketing at VerticHost, about the platform’s global reach, hosting solutions, and new services.

A few years back, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I read a magazine spread on the pivot. And no I’m not talking about the iconic “Friends” clip of Ross, his oversized couch, and a staircase that was too narrow for its own good. The magazine issue was dedicated to something bigger — the career pivot.

At the time, the Great Resignation was shaking up the workforce and millions of people found themselves at a crossroads in their career. People either left the workforce entirely, changed employers, or switched careers as in the career pivot.

Repurposing their careers allowed individuals to find more value or meaning in their jobs that went beyond a paycheck or titles. They could use learned soft skills to seek new opportunities and take a career path that resonated with their aspirations.

The team at VerticHost did something similar with its business.

Anna Alexandrovna, Head of Marketing at VerticHost, told us the company was originally a web development agency whose journey started over a decade ago. At the time, the team only hosted websites for itself and its clients.

In 2018, the team decided to pivot and launch VerticHost, focusing solely on web hosting. This shift enabled the team to reach more people and extend its network and customer care to users all over the world. And it used its past experience to do so.

“Our main products are VPSes, which we offer in multiple countries. The main benefit of our services is that we only offer high-performance hosting, so only dedicated resources not shared. Our customer support is also great because we have deep knowledge and experience in running hosting environments,” said Anna.

As it happens, the VerticHost team isn’t done pivoting. It plans to expand its target audience and create tailored products for other users soon.

Below, we’ll explore the VerticHost platform, its solutions, and what’s next for the global web host.

VerticHost specializes in high-performance B2B VPS hosting services. Anna said the hosting company plans to extend its services to a wider audience.

“Our main clients are B2B clients. This year, we started to focus not only on B2B customers but on all kinds of customers. That’s why we updated our information on our website and other sites,” said Anna.

Since high performance is VerticHost’s jam, it doesn’t offer shared hosting but only plans with dedicated hosting resources. That way, customers get the best and smoothest experience. Users can expect performant features, including NVMe storage, unmetered bandwidth, and dual-stack IP addresses.

If you’re a VPS user, you’ll be pleased to find VPS galore at VerticHost. All of its VPSes are built on enterprise hardware and advanced stack technology, including KVM virtualization.

VerticHost offers the following VPSes and services:

• Linux VPS
• Windows VPS
• Custom VPS
• Managed VPS
• WordPress VPS
• Bare metal servers

“Customers are amazed by the quality. Even if they cancel their services, for example, they come back in some months or a year because we have good quality and very good support,” said Anna.

VerticHost’s VPS hosting can help users launch any type of project, from websites and eCommerce storefronts to web applications and game servers. With full root access, its plans enable you to customize where you want and build a hosting environment tailored to your needs.

Of course, we can’t forget to mention customer support. Technical support is one of the most important attributes of a good hosting service. Working with B2B clients has enabled VerticHost to build not only a strong server infrastructure but also a customer support service that delivers.

The VerticHost team uses its years of experience, which stretches back to its web development days, to answer user requests with speed and care.

“We have deep knowledge and experience in hosting. So when you, for example, have some challenges in hosting, you can write us and get super fast support and you only get the experts,” said Anna.

There are no support tiers at VerticHost. VerticHost’s customers only get the premium. That’s because the VerticHost team knows what they need to succeed.

VerticHost is a global host. Although based in Romania, VerticHost’s reach goes well beyond Europe into the U.S., Canada, Singapore, and the UAE.

“We offer approximately 25 data center locations across Europe, Asia, and North America. We plan to expand to other countries in the future, but these 15 countries are our main focus now,” said Anna.

VerticHost has data centers strategically placed to meet its customer needs across the globe. An interesting characteristic of its platform is that VerticHost labels its VPS services by location, so you can find the location perfect for you. You can also check out its location list to view port speeds and all its available regions.

Another highlight of VerticHost’s location is security. All European web hosts must strictly follow GDPR compliance, ensuring data privacy for customers. VetricHost also uses only certified and fully secure data centers for all its services.

“We appreciate privacy and, first of all, the privacy of our customers. That’s why we have worked so well with them for more than five years,” said Anna.

VerticHost makes it easy for you to sign up and deploy your servers. No hidden fees or setup fees. And also no surprises. VerticHost offers transparent pricing with the same renewal prices throughout your time with the platform.

Once you sign up with VerticHost, you can manage and scale everything from one platform. Optimized for B2B customers, VerticHost also offers seamless account registration and fully compliant invoicing.

VerticHost’s multiple locations are great for businesses looking to target audiences in more than one region. VerticHost allows you to scale so you can have multiple servers in different locations. With local infrastructure, you can create fast connections for your customers and offer a more reliable user experience.

VerticHost offers a variety of features, from intuitive control panels to NVMe storage. Anna said the team continuously updates the platform to feature the latest technologies.

“In recent times, we have updated our website to be faster and more attractive for new customers. We have updated more details about our products and their benefits. We also only use the latest technologies,” said Anna.

The web host uses KVM technology, Intel Xeon, and AMD CPUs across its VPS products. It also provides unlimited traffic and full root access.

“All our VPSes are completely independent and come with full root access. So you can manage and install any software you want. You can have any level of control you want,” said Anna.

You can also have your choice of operating system since VerticHost supports multiple brands, including Debian, Ubuntu, and Rocky Linux, among others. Where can you manage all this? Well, from VerticHost’s user-friendly dashboard and control panel offerings.

“We have a dashboard to manage the VPSes. So you can stop the VPS, change SSH keys, and really do everything. And this panel is very user-friendly. It can be in dark mode or white mode. And our customers love this,” said Anna.

As for its control panel offerings, VerticHost provides the choice between Webuzo or the ever-so-popular cPanel.

New Solutions on the Way

Speaking of control panels, the VerticHost team has plans to develop one of its own. With cPanel licensing becoming more expensive, creating its own control panel will allow VerticoHost to keep its pricing stable.

“In the future, we plan to introduce our main control panel based on our customers’ needs. We seek to make it more effective, user-friendly, and convenient for our customers. And of course, it will be much cheaper than cPanel, since year by year it’s getting more expensive,” said Anna.

The team also plans to launch a managed service for its VPS hosting. VerticHost currently offers a managed VPS plan, but that only includes a free control panel. This new service will be for users who don’t have the time or the skills to manage and maintain their hosting environments.

“As the industry goes to managed VPS, we plan to focus on it as well. For example, if you own an online store with flowers, you might not have a technical background. So our managed services will able to help with that,” said Anna.

VerticHost has always been about evolution, from its web development roots to its current B2B hosting services. Now, it seeks to push the boundaries of its platform again by opening itself to a broader audience.

“We plan to expand. We want not only B2B customers and technical users. But we want everyone to enjoy our services,” said Anna.
