Our story
2MHost was started in February 2001 by web developers who were frustrated with the hosting options of the day and decided to build the provider they wished existed: affordable, honest, and actually helpful when something breaks. What began as a side project quickly became the main business, and it has stayed that way ever since.
Twenty-five years later, we are still independent. We have never been acquired, merged, or folded into a hosting conglomerate, and we have stayed deliberately small relative to the industry giants. Small means the people answering your tickets know the servers your site runs on, and it means our prices are not paying for stadium ads.
Our service
Today 2MHost serves more than 20,000 clients across six continents. Most of them are individuals and small businesses: portfolios, shops, blogs, local services, and the occasional project that outgrew a free platform. That is who our plans are designed for.
Every account, on every plan, includes:
- Technical support around the clock, every day of the year, including holidays.
- Daily malware scans on all websites.
- Twice-weekly backups of all website files, stored off the server.
Our approach
Our promise is simple: quality service at a fair price, without squeezing customers to maximize profit. In practice, that comes down to two things we refuse to do:
- No overselling.
- We do not sell plans that promise more resources than our servers actually have. Your site should not slow down because we crammed a thousand neighbors onto your machine.
- No upselling.
- We do not charge extra for features that cost us little or help you less. SSL certificates, WHOIS privacy, and domain transfers are free because they should be.
The savings from running lean go back into pricing. We would rather keep a customer for fifteen years than win one quarter.
Our guarantees
- 30-day money-back guarantee.
- If you are not satisfied within your first month, we refund your hosting payment in full. Unconditional, no justification required.
- Price Lock Guarantee.
- The price you sign up at is the price you renew at, for as long as you stay. No introductory teaser rates, no renewal surprises. (Promotional discount codes excluded.)
The full details of both, and everything else we commit to, live in our Terms of Service.
Do not take our word for any of this. Read what customers say on our reviews page, then pick a plan and try us for a month on our dime.
Independent since February 2001.
