Friend Hosting (friendhosting.net)

Friend Hosting has been operating since 2009, providing hosting services to an international clientele. The company offers several product lines, including virtual dedicated servers (VDS), shared web hosting, dedicated physical servers, domain registration, and backup hosting.

The VDS lineup is built on KVM virtualization and comes in three variants tailored to different workloads: Progressive NVMe VDS plans with NVMe storage across multiple locations, High CPU VDS plans for processor-intensive tasks hosted in the Netherlands, and Storage HDD VDS plans for large-volume data storage available in Bulgaria, the Netherlands and the USA. Dedicated servers can be ordered in several European countries and in the United States, with the option to request custom hardware configurations. Shared web hosting is provided in the Netherlands and the United States and includes SSL certificates, automated CMS installation, backups, and SSH/FTP access.

Friend Hosting operates through a geographically distributed network of partner data centers spanning Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. In Europe, locations include the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, and several other countries, while outside Europe the company has a presence in the United States, Brazil, and Japan.

For server management, the company provides basic administration on Linux-based VDS and dedicated servers, covering initial OS and control panel installation, software updates, diagnostics of core server services, antivirus scanning, and website migrations from other providers. The available control panels include FastPanel and Hestia, along with ISPmanager in several tiers. Technical support operates around the clock.

Beyond its primary hosting services, Friend Hosting provides domain registration across multiple domain zones, FTP-based backup hosting, and a reseller program with white-label support and API integration for automating order and renewal workflows. The company also maintains a loyalty program with cumulative discounts based on the duration and volume of services used, as well as a deferred payment option for service renewals.
