CharityHost (charityhost.org)

CharityHost is a web hosting provider offering services oriented toward non-profit organizations, schools, and charities, including discounted plans for verified entities. A portion of its proceeds is allocated to charitable initiatives. The provider operates from data centers in Houston, Texas, and San Francisco, California.

The shared hosting product, called Optimal Web Hosting, is a managed offering built on Plesk with WP Toolkit and Laravel Toolkit included, along with one-click application installation through Softaculous. Plans run on a Linux environment with Nginx, Apache, and PHP-FPM, and support platforms such as WordPress, Laravel, and Drupal. Hosting plans include unlimited websites, email accounts, and databases per plan, as well as SSL certificates, automated backups, and onboarding migrations. Reseller hosting is available as an extension of these plans, with WHMCS integration for client management.

On the VPS side, CharityHost offers multiple configurations based on different storage types and processor platforms. All VPS plans use KVM virtualization with management through Virtualizor, support Linux and Windows operating systems, include IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, and allow custom ISO uploads. Storage-focused configurations are also available for backup and data storage use cases, along with FTP-based backup storage.

Network security features include DDoS protection and antimalware scanning. CharityHost provides an uptime guarantee, 24/7 support, and a money-back policy on its plans.
