HostRound (hostround.com)

HostRound is a hosting provider that operates its own datacenter-grade hardware and network infrastructure, which gives it direct control over the systems that run its services. Its offerings cover shared and WordPress hosting, reseller accounts, and a family of server products that ranges from virtual private servers to dedicated machines, complemented by domain registration, cloud backup, and email filtering services.

The shared hosting plans, including WordPress and reseller hosting, run on the LiteSpeed web server and are managed through the cPanel control panel, with WHM provided for reseller accounts. Hosting environments are isolated using CloudLinux OS, while security is handled through Imunify360, an enhanced firewall, and ModSecurity rules. Every plan includes a free, automatically renewing SSL certificate, and website migration is carried out by the company's own migration team at no additional cost. Backups of hosted sites are created on daily, weekly, and monthly cycles and stored across two separate data centers, with one-click restoration available. WordPress customers additionally have access to the WordPress Toolkit and Softaculous for installing and managing their sites.

For customers who need dedicated resources, HostRound provides virtual private servers, cloud servers, and dedicated bare-metal servers. The virtual and cloud products are built on KVM virtualization for full isolation, while dedicated servers are offered in both self-managed and managed configurations. Server customers can install operating systems from the Windows and Linux families on dedicated machines and Linux distributions on the virtualized products, and they can choose among several control panels, including cPanel. A management panel within the client area allows customers to reboot servers, reinstall the operating system, manage IP addresses, and monitor traffic. DDoS mitigation is included with these products, and the server offerings are backed by a 100% uptime service level agreement.

The company's services are hosted in Tier III data centers located in Dallas, Los Angeles, and the New York metropolitan area (USA) alongside in Naaldwijk (Netherlands). These facilities are built with redundant power and cooling, using configurations such as N+1 and 2N for their electrical and standby systems, and they hold certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Network connectivity is delivered through multiple Tier 1 carriers with automatic failover between fiber paths.

Other services include cloud backup and disaster recovery powered by Acronis, which protects both physical and virtual systems and supports scheduled backups, ransomware protection, and rapid recovery. Domain registration and transfer services are available across a wide selection of top-level domains, accompanied by redundant DNS hosting, a domain management control panel, two-factor authentication, and optional WHOIS privacy protection. Technical support is available around the clock.
