Create Isolated and Powerful Web Hosting Accounts
The World platform provides a web hosting solution that offers a 100% isolated environment for each of your websites and/or web applications. You may select the physical location of the server for each website, with options in Europe (France, Switzerland) or Canada (Quebec). Additionally, each website is hosted on a distinct infrastructure. The days of relying on a single server or account are over. Also, each account can host an unlimited number of sites. In essence, we allocate you a pool of resources, and you are free to distribute them as you see fit. As an illustration, the standard configuration at 6 euros including tax per month comprises:
You may choose to create a single account and allocate the maximum resources to it, or you may distribute them among as many accounts as you wish, provided that you respect the minimum requirements of one CPU, one GB RAM, and one MB/s I/O, as well as the maximum of eight CPUs, 24 GB RAM, and 24 MB/s I/O per account.
In summary, the standard configuration allows users to create up to eight independent web hosting accounts on two continents, on completely independent infrastructures. Each hosting account can host as many sites as desired. Managing all of this is very simple and intuitive through your PlanetHoster client area.
And of course, the resource pool is expandable to 1,024 CPUs, 2,048 GB of RAM, and 2,048 MB/s of disk I/O. This allows you to have hundreds of independent web hosting accounts on different servers. It’s perfect for web agencies, webmasters, SEO, etc.

Place the order
Once you have reviewed the selected configuration, proceed to settle the invoice via the preferred payment method.
Strengthened security of our shared hosting
Security is at the heart of our The World shared hosting solution. Unlike traditional shared hosting where a security breach on one site can potentially affect other sites on the same server, our unique architecture guarantees complete isolation between each hosting account.
Complete isolation of environments
Each web hosting account on The World operates in an isolated container with its own dedicated resources. This isolation prevents the spread of malware or intrusions between different sites, even if they are hosted on the same physical infrastructure.
Free SSL certificates
All our shared hosting plans include unlimited free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, enabling secure communications between your visitors and your websites. Installation and renewal are fully automated via our N0C control panel.
Protection against DDoS attacks
Our infrastructure is protected by advanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack mitigation systems, ensuring the continued availability of your sites even in the event of an attack.
Automatic backups
We carry out daily backups of your data, stored for 7 days, enabling you to quickly restore your site in the event of a problem. These backups are stored on separate infrastructures for maximum security.
Automatic security updates
Our technical team constantly monitors vulnerabilities and proactively applies the necessary security patches, allowing you to concentrate on your business rather than on maintaining your hosting.
Outstanding performance of our shared hosting
The performance of your website is crucial to delivering an optimal user experience and improving your SEO. Our The World shared hosting has been designed to deliver superior performance to traditional shared hosting.
NVMe SSD infrastructure
All our shared hosting servers are equipped with ultra-fast NVMe SSDs, offering read/write speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional SSDs. Result: your sites and applications load instantly, improving user experience and SEO.
Guaranteed resource allocation
Unlike traditional shared hosting, where resources are shared dynamically, The World guarantees you exclusive access to the resources allocated to your account (CPU, RAM, I/O). This guarantee ensures stable, predictable performance, even during periods of heavy load.
Optimisation pour WordPress et autres CMS
Our infrastructure is specially optimized for popular CMS like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. We use advanced server configurations and caching systems to maximize the performance of these platforms.
High-performance network
Our redundant high-availability network ensures optimal connectivity with minimal latency times. With presence points in Europe (France/Switzerland) and North America (Canada/Quebec), your visitors always benefit from fast access to your sites, regardless of their location.
Performance benchmarks
Independent tests show that sites hosted on our The World platform load on average 40% faster than on traditional shared hosting. For a standard WordPress site, the average loading time is less than 1.5 seconds, well below Google's recommended maximum of 3 seconds.
Shared Hosting vs Other Solutions: What’s the Difference?
To choose the hosting solution that best fits your needs, it is essential to understand the differences between the main available options:
Standard Shared Hosting vs The World
Traditional shared hosting places all websites on the same server with a shared environment, where the actions of one site can affect the others. The World by PlanetHoster offers next-generation shared hosting with complete isolation between accounts, eliminating the risk of interference between sites.
Shared Hosting vs VPS
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) offers dedicated resources and full control over the environment, but generally requires technical skills to manage. Our shared hosting The World combines the ease of use of shared hosting with the isolation of a VPS, without requiring any particular technical expertise.
Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Server
A dedicated server offers maximum performance with hardware fully dedicated to your projects, but at a much higher cost. The World shared hosting is ideal for those seeking excellent value for money while benefiting from robust performance for their websites.
Shared Hosting vs Cloud
Cloud hosting offers great scalability and high availability thanks to a network of servers, but can be complex and costly. The World offers an intermediate solution with the ability to easily scale your resources (up to 1,024 CPU, 2,048 GB RAM, 2,048 MB/s IO) while maintaining simplified management.
Why Choose The World hosting platform?
Selecting The World signifies a commitment to efficiency and reliability. It is therefore unsurprising that PlanetHoster was included in the top 10 hosts for both 2023 and 2024.
Premium Disk Space
The World is built on an N+N cloud architecture. It’s a 100% SSD/NVMe platform, and your data is replicated three times. This ensures performance, stability, and integrity.
There are two options for disk space:
Best-Efforts: “unmetered” disk space that depends on the overall usage capacity of the infrastructure. Subject to specific usage rules (no massive storage allowed, etc., plus d’infos). Perfect for standard needs.
Dedicated: 100% dedicated disk space. You can do whatever you want; we have nothing to say. Perfect for the most demanding needs. It’s the same storage platform as our HybridCloud dedicated servers!
Additionally, we offer a massive storage platform included by default on The World: N0C-Storage.
Massive Disk Space
N0C Storage is a platform designed for storing large files such as archives and items that do not require high-performance disks (SSD). It is ideal for hosting image files, videos, or any other large files on your website. Additionally, N0C Storage can also be used as a content delivery network (CDN) to host your static files.

The World Pro: Semi-Dedicated
With The World Pro, we offer a semi-dedicated environment along with the Litespeed Enterprise web server. The semi-dedicated environment means that your hosting account will be on an infrastructure with very few accounts. This allows you to enjoy ultra-high-performance web hosting with a quality of service (stability, performance, security) that is closer to that of a dedicated server. Additionally, with Litespeed Enterprise, you will benefit from a very advanced caching system, ESI, and LiteMage. This is perfect for e-commerce stores that require private parts of the site to be cached, unlike brochure sites/blogs. LiteMage ensures that your Magento store performs at its best.
It is possible to start with a standard The World plan and upgrade to Pro later; our team can handle the migration for you.

Preparations
You must take the following steps before migrating:

The World: Frequently Asked Questions
The World is an all-in-one shared hosting platform designed by PlanetHoster and offering the latest in innovation and technology. It is based on a cloud infrastructure distributed across our facilities in Europe (France and Switzerland) and North America (Canada).
What is shared web hosting?
Traditionally, in standard shared hosting, websites not only share the same server but also the same software environment, which can sometimes lead to security or performance issues when one site consumes too many resources.
This is where PlanetHoster's The World shared hosting stands out: unlike classic shared hosting, our solution offers a 100% isolated environment for each of your web hosting accounts. You thus benefit from the economic advantages of shared hosting while enjoying isolation comparable to a VPS, for optimal security and performances.
