City brief · Zurich
Quick web hosting for Zurich businesses
From private banking and asset management and insurance and reinsurance to everybody else building something in Zurich: the local name, the speed and the support all run off one account.
The short answer
A Zurich business wants three things from hosting: pages that arrive quickly for its real audience, the ending locals trust (.ch), and uptime that holds day and night — and none of the three needs a server inside the city limits.
Hosting & Domains gives Zurich businesses NVMe hosting behind LiteSpeed caching, free SSL, the move done for you and people on support at every hour — at flat rates that never ask where you log in from.

Drives as standard
Private banking and asset management at a density found nowhere else, the insurance industry alongside, and a deep-tech pipeline out of ETH that has started producing companies rather than only papers. Precision is treated here as a civic duty.
This page is written for that market exactly — the hosting its businesses genuinely need, the ending that wins local trust, and an honest word on distance against speed.
Winning trade online in Zurich
What actually drives the economy here is private banking and asset management, insurance and reinsurance, pharmaceuticals and deep tech and audit and consulting — each with its own habits online, yet all standing on the same foundations: speed on a phone, forms that reach a person, mail that lands, and a site awake whenever anybody looks.
What links them is the look-up moment — a customer, a client or a procurement panel opening your site right when it counts. This page exists so that moment passes without incident, every single time.
The name worth registering in Zurich
The ending that wins local orders is .ch. Swiss establishment reads in .ch, and in a market where provenance and exactness are the whole brand it is the trust ending at home. International arms run .com in parallel without diluting anything.
Take it alongside the hosting and the wiring sorts itself: DNS aligned in advance, SSL issued on connection, mail live at the name from the first day. If the name already sits elsewhere, transferring it in is equally routine.
Latency, answered honestly
Switzerland sits inside the European band we serve from London, and caching removes whatever remains of the trip. Document-heavy client areas, which is the standard format for the industries here, feel that most.
Engineering counts for more than geography here: cached pages are assembled in advance and travel light, so what a visitor feels comes down to the platform — disk speed, cache design, how quickly PHP can build a page — far more than to distance. That is precisely where we have over-invested.
The hardware your reputation rests on
Nobody notices reliability until it goes, which is why we hold a 99.9% uptime target, monitor without a break, copy the account daily and keep people on support at every hour. To a business in Zurich, that is infrastructure doing marketing's job without being asked.
NVMe storage and LiteSpeed caching sit under every tier, the smallest plan included — that is the floor here, not an upgrade.
Arranged for the way Zurich does business
What every market we serve asks for is the same, Zurich included: make the site quick, keep it up, keep it protected, and then leave the owner alone to run the business. That is the entire product.
A copy is taken daily on every plan, and putting a file or a database back is one click in the panel rather than a support ticket.
- .ch registered and renewed alongside the plan
- Cached pages that stay quick at distance
- SSL free, the move free, set-up free
- Engineers on shift whatever your timezone
Why Hosting & Domains
Standard on every plan
One account for the name and the hosting
Your .ch sits on the same account as the hosting, registered, pointed and renewed there, with DNS aimed correctly before anybody has to ask.
Uptime with a figure behind it
We hold a 99.9% uptime target and put a pro-rated credit back on the account if a month falls short — a figure you can quote in a tender, not a slogan.
Quick on the connection buyers actually have
With LiteSpeed caching over NVMe storage the page exists before the request arrives, whether that request comes from a phone in Zurich traffic, a desk, or a procurement laptop.
Mail that carries your own name
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan, so a reply reaches the customer from the same name they typed into the address bar.
One USD price, wherever you invoice from
Billing runs in USD at a rate that renews as it stands, which means next year's hosting line is a number your accounts already hold.
The move billed at nothing
Hosted elsewhere today? The whole site comes across free of charge, carried by our engineers, serving visitors the entire time, and DNS only moves once you have signed it off.

Frequently Asked
The questions that come up most
Discretion and reliability are expected by Swiss clients — where does hosting deliver them?
In a 99.9% commitment kept without announcements, certificates on everything, no third-party trackers slipped in behind your back, one clear jurisdiction, and replies that answer the question as asked. Discretion applied to infrastructure.
Four national and business languages — which belong on the site?
Build for the client list you actually have. In this city that usually means German first, English second, French added for Romandie, and Italian only where there is real business in Ticino. Adding a tree costs nothing, and the money belongs with the translator.
Can more than one website run on a single plan?
From the Turbo tier upward, yes — several sites, each with its own name, mailboxes and certificate, inside one account. If the extra sites belong to clients rather than to you, look at reseller hosting instead: it keeps each one properly walled off.
Which control panel do accounts use?
cPanel, the panel the industry standardised on long ago. Every tutorial you find online will match what is on your screen, your backups restore onto any other cPanel host, and the skills stay useful for life. Plesk and DirectAdmin are available on particular plans if you prefer either.
