(3*) 🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration Own datacenter
Webland AG is a long-standing Swiss hosting provider and accredited registrar based in Münchenstein, near Basel. The company has been active since 1998 and is one of the pioneers of the Swiss hosting market, today ranking among the "top ten" webhosting providers in Switzerland and operating as a joint-stock company. Their positioning is very clear: Swiss quality, security and full data locality, with servers operated exclusively in their own data centers in Switzerland.

The core focus is classic shared hosting combined with domain registration and e-mail/collaboration services, rather than generic VPS or bare-metal servers. For web hosting, Webland offers six main shared plans under one platform, divided into packages for individuals/small enterprises (Hosting Starter, Basic, Premium) and business-oriented plans (Business Basic, Business Premium, Business Cluster). All run on either Windows Server (IIS) or Linux/UNIX with a unified feature set that includes PHP (5.6/7.x/8.x), ASP.NET, .NET Core, Node.js, WebSockets, cron jobs and support for common CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, Typo3 and DNN. The hosting comparison table shows generous combined storage (37.5–150 GB for the Starter–Premium line, 175–250 GB on business plans), unlimited standard e-mail accounts, up to 100 databases (MySQL, MS SQL, MS Access) and up to 100 manageable domains depending on the plan.

Business hosting plans build on this foundation with extra performance and isolation. Business Basic and Business Premium introduce a dedicated application pool (1–2 GB RAM) per customer and, in the case of Business Cluster, a clustered web server back-end designed for higher resilience and throughput. These plans are clearly aimed at agencies and companies running heavier sites, online shops or custom .NET/PHP applications that need predictable resources and added isolation compared to entry-level shared hosting.

Webland also invests heavily in complementary services. As an official Swiss registrar, they handle .ch and .li domains directly and also sell .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .eu and many other TLDs, with domain search and ordering integrated into their own platform. For customers wanting a specifically Swiss identity, Webland is also involved in .swiss registrations.

On the e-mail side, Webland offers standalone E-Mail Hosting and E-Mail Hosting Business plans plus the CloudOffice collaboration suite. E-Mail Hosting targets private users and small businesses with 25 mailboxes, 25 GB storage and built-in anti-spam/anti-virus protection, while E-Mail Hosting Business raises this to unlimited mailboxes and 100 GB storage. CloudOffice Personal and CloudOffice Team add groupware features like calendars, tasks, notes, online document editing and, for teams, web meetings, chat and collaboration tools. These can be used with or without a customer’s own domain (for example addresses under @mywebland.ch).

For website creation and applications, Webland provides a Weebly-based WebsiteBuilder as an optional add-on, with a free "Limited" version bundled into every hosting plan and paid Pro/Business tiers for more advanced sites and shops. The AppCenter offers one-click deployment of over 70 web applications including WordPress, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal and others. Developers and database-heavy projects can also use Webland’s dedicated, managed database servers (MySQL or MS SQL) or expand shared database quotas up to 20 GB per database.

Security and reliability are recurring themes. All hosting plans include a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, multi-layer DDoS protection, spam and virus filters for e-mail, a Web Application Firewall and daily backups. Servers are monitored 24/7/365 and hosted entirely in Webland’s own data centers in Basel and Münchenstein.

Finally, Webland runs a reseller/partner program for agencies and IT providers. Partners resell Webland’s hosting packages under their own name or Webland’s branding, receive quarterly invoices and can get discounts of up to 50% depending on volume, while Webland commits not to contact end customers directly.

Notably, Webland’s product portfolio has remained almost unchanged since at least mid-2020, with only the WebsiteBuilder/Weebly component evolving over time; mainly the prices have been adjusted.

Overall, Webland comes across as a mature, infrastructure-driven Swiss host that has chosen to specialize in high-feature shared hosting, mail/collaboration and domains rather than a broad IaaS portfolio. Customers that specifically want Swiss data residency, Windows + Linux flexibility and strong e-mail and database options will find a lot of depth in the product line.

💰 Price & Cost

Shared hosting pricing is structured in Swiss francs with VAT included and is very transparent. The main Hosting Starter, Basic and Premium plans are currently promoted with a 70% discount for the first year, bringing the entry prices down to approximately CHF 4.15, 5.65 and 6.85 per month, compared to standard prices of CHF 13.90, 18.90 and 22.90 per month. These plans include 37.5 GB, 75 GB and 150 GB total storage (split between web and mail), unlimited e-mail accounts, 10–50 databases and 10–50 manageable domains.

Business hosting plans start at around CHF 25.90 per month for Business Basic, CHF 36.90 per month for Business Premium and CHF 60.90 per month for Business Cluster, all including VAT. These plans come with 175–250 GB total storage, up to 100 databases and domains, and features like isolated application pools, more AppCenter apps and more backups.

Standalone e-mail and collaboration services are priced separately:

• E-Mail Hosting (for private users/small businesses): about CHF 5.90/month, with 25 mailboxes, 25 GB storage and anti-spam/anti-virus filtering.
• E-Mail Hosting Business: about CHF 10.90/month, with unlimited mailboxes and 100 GB storage.
• CloudOffice Personal/Personal Starter: about CHF 3.90/month per user with 25 GB storage, e-mail, contacts, calendars, tasks, notes and WebDocuments.
• CloudOffice Team: about CHF 4.90/month per user, adding chat, web meetings and other collaboration features.

For databases, Webland offers both shared and dedicated options. Shared MySQL or MS SQL databases are included up to 500 MB per database, with paid tiers up to 20 GB (roughly CHF 4.90 to CHF 34.90/month). Managed dedicated MySQL or MS SQL servers start at about CHF 49.90/month and go up to around CHF 149.90/month depending on RAM, CPU cores and storage.

Domain pricing starts at around CHF 14.90/year for common TLDs like .ch/.li and .com/.net, with .swiss domains priced at around CHF 149/year including VAT. All prices are clearly stated in CHF per month or per year, with VAT included and no hidden setup fees for hosting; hosting, e-mail and WebsiteBuilder offers are set up in real time after ordering.

A notable plus is the 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting: several plan pages explicitly mention a "30-day trial" enabled by a 30-day money-back guarantee, effectively allowing customers to test the service with low risk. There is no public mention of an extended or pro-rated refund policy beyond this initial period.

On the payment side, Webland sends invoices as PDFs by e-mail and allows payment via bank transfer, credit card, PayPal or Twint through its online payment portal. Orders can also be placed without a credit card, which is helpful for customers who prefer to pay on invoice.

No explicit uptime percentage (such as 99.9% SLA) is advertised on the public pages, so customers who require a formal SLA may need to clarify this directly with sales.

🏢 Data Center

Webland operates its own infrastructure and all hosting is done in 100% Webland-owned data centers located in Switzerland. The main production data center is at IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel) in Basel, described as the largest carrier-neutral facility in north-western Switzerland and audited to ISAE 3402 SSAE 16 Type II standards. A second computer center at EBM in Münchenstein functions as the backup site and is linked to the primary via multi-redundant 10-gigabit fibre connections.

The server fleet consists of modern 64-bit multiprocessor Intel systems in a clustered, virtualized setup. If one system fails, others take over without interruption, backed by a highly available mirrored IBM SAN storage environment with redundant fibre channel connections. Backup is integrated into the SAN architecture: data is continuously mirrored to the backup data center to maintain availability without overloading front-end servers.
From a physical infrastructure standpoint, Webland describes a data center environment with:

• Redundant air-conditioning
• Dedicated substations and medium-voltage power supply
• Diesel emergency generators and UPS systems
• Controlled physical access with ID systems and video surveillance
• Earthquake-resistant building structure
• Smoke and water detectors, dry powder extinguishers and comprehensive alerting systems

The network is built on redundant Cisco enterprise equipment, with core switches and access switches interconnected redundantly. Internet connectivity uses multiple independent fibre lines to different providers, with capacity dimensioned well above peak load and numerous peerings with national and international ISPs for optimal routing and fail-over. Hosting product descriptions confirm redundant internet connections, daily backups, 24/7/365 server monitoring and servers based in Switzerland (Basel) as standard across all plans.

They operate a public status system and are transparent about incidents. Prospective customers may want to review the status history before committing critical workloads.

✍️ Customer Support

Webland offers "first-class support via e-mail and phone." The main hotline (0840 20 20 20) is reachable during business hours, listed as 09:00–12:00 and 13:30–17:00, at standard local Swiss rates. Support itself is free of charge; only the call connection is billed by the telecom provider.

Support resources are organized around:

• The hotline, for direct assistance with hosting, domains, e-mail and CloudOffice.
• A multilingual Help Center providing FAQs, manuals and step-by-step guides in English, German and French.
• Online support and ticket-style interactions via e-mail, with dedicated addresses for administration, sales, marketing and general support.

The product comparison table mentions "365 days free support" for all plans and "365 days prioritized free support" for business plans, indicating that while the actual phone hours are limited to office time, customers can still rely on continuous monitoring and some form of year-round support response via online channels.

What is not advertised is 24/7 telephone or live-chat support; the human contact window is clearly bounded by daytime hours, with emergency and monitoring handled internally. For Swiss business customers operating mainly during local office hours this is likely adequate, but international customers expecting round-the-clock direct support should be aware of this limitation.

🔨 Control Panel

Instead of cPanel or Plesk, Webland uses its own proprietary control panel called System Configurator. This is accessible through the customer login section and is described as a comprehensive hosting management tool. Within System Configurator, customers can manage almost all aspects of their services:

• Create and configure additional FTP users
• Set up e-mail and Xchange/CloudOffice accounts
• Manage domains, DNS mappings and subdomains
• Order and manage hosting options (CloudOffice, WebsiteBuilder, database add-ons, SSL certificates)
• Configure databases and various application settings

Hosting accounts are provisioned in real time; as soon as an order is placed, the web server is configured and accessible under the domain or a Webland real-time hostname, allowing immediate deployment.

For e-mail, Webland provides Xchange Web Access as a web client, with SSL-secured access, plus detailed instructions for configuring popular desktop and mobile mail clients.

The net effect is a tightly integrated environment where web, mail, databases and add-ons are all controlled from a single in-house panel. Customers who prefer a standardized panel like cPanel may face a learning curve, but those who appreciate a unified, purpose-built interface integrated with billing and CloudOffice will likely find System Configurator convenient.

🎯 Conclusion

Webland AG is a distinctly Swiss-centric hosting provider: founded in 1998, officially registered as an internet service provider and operating only from its own data centers in Basel and Münchenstein. The portfolio is not about ticking every possible IaaS box; instead it delivers an unusually feature-rich shared hosting and e-mail platform tailored to individuals, agencies and companies that value data locality, Windows + Linux flexibility and robust mail/collaboration tools.

Strengths include:

• Long track record and clear focus on the Swiss market
• Official registrar status with integrated domain management for .ch, .li, .swiss and many gTLDs
• Strong technical stack on shared hosting (Windows IIS + Linux/UNIX, .NET Core, PHP 8, Node.js, AppCenter, dedicated database options)
• Fully Swiss-based, redundant infrastructure with daily backups and 24/7 monitoring
• Transparent CHF pricing with VAT included, generous first-year discounts and a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting
• Well-developed e-mail and CloudOffice offerings for both individuals and teams
• A defined reseller program with significant volume discounts

On the other hand, there are some clear limitations. Customers looking for classic VPS, general-purpose dedicated servers or global data center choice will not find those products here; Webland’s focus is squarely on high-end shared hosting and managed database services. Public information does not state a specific uptime percentage SLA, which larger enterprises may expect to see in writing. Support is strong but tied to Swiss business hours for phone access, and while monitoring runs 24/7, there is no explicit 24/7 live-contact channel advertised. Finally, the current presence of a general infrastructure-issue notice and a busy status page suggests there have recently been significant service incidents, so a cautious buyer would probably review incident history or contact sales to understand what mitigating measures are in place.

For small to mid-sized Swiss organizations, agencies and technically inclined users who want everything hosted in Switzerland with rich Windows and Linux features, Webland remains a serious and capable contender. International customers or projects needing hard SLAs, out-of-country data centers or unmanaged root servers may want to consider Webland specifically for shared hosting and mail, or compare it with providers that focus more strongly on global IaaS.
