OUR STORY

Hosting built by people who actually answer the phone

We started HostFilya because hosting had become slow, confusing and quietly hostile. So we built the opposite — fast servers, honest prices and real humans who pick up. Today that promise powers 12,000+ websites in 130+ countries.

The HostFilya team working together
HOW WE STARTED

A small team, one stubborn idea.

HostFilya was founded in 2019 by a handful of engineers and support people who were tired of watching friends and small businesses get stuck with hosting that was either painfully slow or impossible to get help with. We figured hosting could be three things at once: fast, fair and friendly — and that you shouldn't have to trade one for the others.

We launched with a single shared-hosting plan and a promise to answer every ticket like a person, not a script. Word spread. Seven years on we've grown to more than 12,000 customers across 130+ countries, but the original idea hasn't moved an inch: treat people well, keep sites online, and never bury the real price in the fine print.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The values behind every server

These aren't poster slogans — they're the rules we use to make real decisions, from how we price plans to how we answer tickets at 3am.

Reliability first

Your site staying online isn't a feature, it's the whole job. We over-build capacity and monitor everything around the clock.

Honest pricing

The price you see is the price you pay. No surprise renewal hikes, no fees hidden three pages deep in checkout.

Real human support

A friendly, knowledgeable person answers — usually in minutes, any hour. No phone trees, no copy-paste replies.

Speed obsessed

NVMe storage, LiteSpeed and a free global CDN come standard. We chase milliseconds so your visitors never wait.

Privacy respected

Your data is yours. We don't sell it, mine it or trade it — and we keep only what we genuinely need to run your service.

Built to scale

Start on a $2.99 plan and grow to dedicated metal without ever migrating away. We're built to grow right alongside you.
