Overview

What is Hostnet?

Hostnet is a veteran technology company based in Rio de Janeiro, operating since 2001 with a unique franchise business model in the hosting sector.

They have specialized deeply in WordPress automation and optimization, distinguishing themselves as a premium provider for managed CMS hosting. Hostnet uses LXC (Linux Containers) technology to provide isolated environments for each client, ensuring that one site's traffic spikes do not affect others on the same server.

Beyond hosting, Hostnet functions as a digital education hub, offering extensive training on website creation and digital marketing to its users. Their focus on education and long-term client success has built a community-driven reputation distinct from the mass-market commodity hosting providers.
