Founded in 2006 KnownHost is a privately held web hosting company based in the United States. With customers from over 150 countries we continue to be one of the most recognized hosts in the world with datacenters in Seattle, Atlanta, and Amsterdam, NL.
In addition to managed VPS and managed dedicated hosting, KnownHost offers basic hosting packages. These are all cloud-based and include shared, WordPress, and reseller hosting.
KnownHost goes green! They have recently joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership. On average, KnownHost uses millions of kilowatt-hours of green power annually, which is enough green power to cover more than 100 percent of KnownHost’s electricity use.
This environment campaign has been in the works at KnownHost for years and overall has become a top priority. Moving forward, we look to not only better the company for our customers, but for the environment as well.
Shared Web Hosting Overview
With our Fully Managed Shared Hosting plans built atop our state of the art cloud hosting platform you can get your top performing site up and running in no time flat. Included are cPanel and LiteSpeed at no extra cost – for peak performance.
Fully Managed Shared Hosting
Completely different than our competitors shared web hosting, where accounts compete for resources and all operate from the same IP address (bad for SEO and bad for email marketing) – we’ve reinvented shared hosting the way it should be. KnownHost managed shared hosting means every account gets dedicated resources exclusively for their use, separate IPv6 addresses for a big marketing advantage and the finest server admin team assembled anywhere.
The perfect combination of free bundled features and high performance hardware, all of which are fully managed by our USA technical team. Enjoy FREE backups, migrations and Softaculous 1-click installer – all standard.
We’ve built an ultra-high performance cloud infrastructure and placed our managed shared hosting squarely on top of it. That’s right – we’ve created a redundant cloud infrastructure and built our shared hosting environments on top of that. You get the peace of mind that comes with failover, backups, and hundreds of plan-rather-than-fail advantages. Enjoy!
