The More Technical Stuff.

1 Circle

Backup System

With two different daily and 1 weekly snapshot in place, our backup system is 100% fully automated and set up before you ever login the first time. You can quickly roll back all files, databases and emails.

2 Circle

Control Panel

cPanel is awesome. It’s the standard, like Bootstrap. Although there are alternatives, it’s our go-to control panel – and one we fully support on the servers. Admin tasks for hosting never were easier.

3 Circle

Network Protect

Hackers are running scripts constantly, looking to take down sites for fame and glory. We provide a huge amount of DDoS protection, so that you can rest easy knowing we’re on the case.

4 Circle

Server Management

Besides our USA-based support team, our server admin team (also USA-based) are technical experts, highly trained (and well compensated) to look after all technical aspects of your web hosting plans.

5 Circle

Setup

Setup is instant. Literally. Once you’ve signed up for an account, the free setup completes within a second or so and an email is automatically sent with all your login details and help information.

6 Circle

SSL Certs

Security is a very good thing indeed. SSL is just the first step down the path. We give every domain owner we host free SSL certificates for that foundation security step that everyone needs to put in place.

More choices for great Small Business Hosting.

Database-focused hosting that gives MySQL the resources and attention it deserves for powering modern web applications reliably. Rather than treating databases as just another feature, this hosting recognizes that MySQL performance often determines your entire site's speed and user experience. The platform includes monitoring to catch database issues before they affect visitors, and query optimization tools help identify and fix slow operations. You get enough database resources to handle real-world traffic without hitting arbitrary limits that cause errors during busy periods. Remote database access lets development tools and applications connect from anywhere, not just the web server. Multiple MySQL versions are supported, so you can match what your application needs. Perfect for developers, database-heavy applications, reporting systems, or any situation where MySQL isn't just storing a few blog posts but is actually the heart of your application and needs proper hosting infrastructure to perform reliably under load.

Hosting platform designed to run Perl programs and scripts with the modules, permissions, and configuration that Perl applications need. While some languages come and go with trends, Perl remains powerful for text processing, system administration, and running proven applications that just work. The hosting includes popular Perl modules and lets you install additional ones through CPAN when needed. Your scripts run with appropriate permissions and access to necessary system resources. The environment supports both CGI scripts for simple tasks and modern Perl frameworks for full web applications. Database connectivity modules come pre-configured for easy integration with MySQL or PostgreSQL. Ideal for businesses with established Perl applications, system administrators automating tasks, developers who appreciate Perl's expressiveness, or anyone maintaining software where rewriting in a trendy language would cost more than just hosting it properly on a platform that supports Perl comprehensively.

Web hosting optimized for PHP, the programming language that powers the majority of websites including WordPress, online stores, and custom applications. PHP hosting provides the exact environment these applications need to run smoothly—the right PHP version, necessary extensions, and proper configuration. Popular content management systems, shopping carts, and frameworks work immediately without technical struggles because the hosting is designed around what PHP applications actually need. You can run multiple PHP versions simultaneously if different applications require different versions. The platform includes tools for managing PHP settings, monitoring script performance, and troubleshooting issues when they arise. Database integration works seamlessly since PHP applications typically use MySQL. Perfect for WordPress blogs, WooCommerce stores, Laravel applications, or virtually any website project since PHP's dominance in web development means most hosting needs are actually PHP hosting needs, and having a platform built specifically for PHP rather than generic hosting makes everything work better.

KnownHost provides a free SSL certificate with all our hosting plans. We also offer a range of premium SSL certificates from leading providers, and we can set up AutoSSL on your account for no-hassle SSL certificate updates.

Data security is one of customers’ biggest concerns – and we understand why. That’s why we only invest in the best, all-around security measures like Uminify360, ClamAV and free DDoS protection. We protect our customers from every type of threat, from spam to trojans to server-side, brute force attacks.

We know that not all of our customers want to undertake things like DNS changes, so we offer migration assistance with our support staff taking care of the technical side of things. We can also work hand-in-hand with you to undertake tasks like setting up your own DNS or installing and configuring DNS for clients who want enhanced capabilities.

KnownHost includes Litemage, Litespeed and ISCACHE as-standard with all our Shared and Reseller hosting plans – or for a small, monthly fee on VPS and Dedicated plans. We can also provide you with additional RAM to enable your site to handle more requests without losing performance.
