What should you look for in web hosting?
There are a few important factors when choosing web hosting. Page speed determines not only user experience but also your Google ranking. Uptime guarantees your website is always reachable. Support ensures you get help quickly when problems arise.
Theory7 scores well on all these points. Our servers run on NVMe SSD storage with a LiteSpeed web server, resulting in load times under a second. We guarantee 99.9% uptime and offer personal support 7 days a week.
Technical specifications that matter
Not all hosting is equal. When comparing, pay attention to these specifications:
- Storage type: NVMe SSD is up to 10x faster than traditional HDD
- Web server: LiteSpeed outperforms Apache at high visitor volumes
- PHP version: PHP 8.x delivers significantly better performance than older versions
- Backups: Daily automatic backups protect against data loss
At Theory7, all these features are included as standard, even with our most affordable plan starting at €0.49 per month.
Why business hosting is different
For business websites, every second counts. A slow website costs you customers: according to Google, 53% of mobile visitors leave a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Business hosting therefore needs to be not just fast, but also scalable as you grow.
Theory7 offers business hosting on enterprise-grade hardware. NVMe SSD storage, a LiteSpeed web server with HTTP/3 support and free CDN integration deliver optimal performance. As you grow, you simply upgrade to a larger plan or a VPS, with no downtime and no data migration.
What makes web hosting suitable for business use?
Business web hosting sets itself apart from consumer hosting in a number of critical ways. First, guaranteed uptime is essential, every minute of downtime can mean direct lost revenue. Theory7 guarantees 99.9% uptime and monitors all servers around the clock. If something's off, we step in automatically, often before customers notice anything.
Business customers also expect professional email functionality. With business web hosting, you get email addresses on your own domain name (info@yourbusiness.com), including spam filtering and virus scanning. This projects professionalism to customers and business partners. The ability to manage multiple domains and subdomains from a single hosting plan is also a practical benefit for businesses with multiple brands or divisions.
Scalability for growing businesses
Business web hosting needs to grow along with your business. Today you might have one website with modest traffic, but in a year that could be three sites with tens of thousands of visitors a month. Theory7 offers seamlessly scalable plans, from shared hosting for starters to VPS and dedicated servers for growing businesses. You can scale up with no downtime or data migration, so your website stays available for your customers at all times.
Another important aspect of business hosting is professional email. Email addresses on your own domain name, with reliable delivery and effective spam filtering, are essential for business communication. At Theory7, business email accounts are included as standard, with SpamAssassin filtering and support for IMAP sync across all your devices.
