The best web hosting provider for your websites

Once you’ve got your domain, you need server space to host your website on. A web hosting plan is a low-cost solution that will ensure your website is always accessible.

If you don't have any web development skills, follow our tutorial to create a website in 5 steps. You can install a CMS (content management system) as part of your web hosting plan to manage your website easily. 4 modules are available to install from the OVH Control Panel:
WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal and Joomla!.

The advantages of OVH web hosting:

  • Free domain name (for the first year)
  • Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
  • High availability and unlimited traffic
  • Your solution is managed 24/7
  • SQL databases included
  • Anti-DDoS protection
  • PHP 7 and optimised configuration
  • Preinstalled CMS

Choose your web hosting plan with several factors in mind, including: storage capacity (up to 500 GB), the expected number of concurrent website visits, and SQL database volume.

Manage several websites easily with Plesk web hosting

Plesk uses a simple interface that allows users to manage several websites, databases and email accounts, without needing any web development skills. For example, if you host your customers' websites, you can give them exclusive access to their projects.

You will get increased performance in comparison to standard web hosting plans:
up to 8 vCores, 30 GB RAM and 800 GB disk space.
For this, every customer gets a VPS (virtual private server) managed by OVH.

Test out the interface, and find out more about the plan on our Plesk web hosting page.

Secure your website with an SSL certificate

With an SSL certificate, your visitors will know that their connection to your website is secure. All of our web hosting plans include a free Let’s Encrypt certificate, so you can make your website accessible via HTTPS protocol.

For even more security, Comodo EV certificates show visitors that your website is managed by a legitimate organisation. Your visitors will be able to see this because Comodo will appear in the address bar as the certificate authority, along with a green padlock. Offer your customers this reassurance for your professional/e-commerce website.

The advantages of SSL with OVH:

  • Free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate included and installed on all web hosting plans
  • Domain verification
  • Compatibility with 99.9% of browsers

See our full range of SSL certificates.

Make your website accessible worldwide with the CDN

The CDN acts as a bridge between your web hosting plan and your users, accelerating your website's performance globally, without modifying the source code. It caches content and distributes it to your users, wherever they are based in the world.
Make sure your site loads fast in the regions you want to target!

The advantages of the OVH CDN:

  • 14 Points of Presence across the globe
  • Anycast dedicated IP address
  • Improved organic SEO
