The More Technical Stuff.

1 Circle

Truly Unlimited Traffic

We’re not going to pester you about having too much traffic. We’re including unlimited bandwidth so that you can handle whatever traffic demands come your way – no surprise charges here!

2 Circle

Full Backups

Each Pico account gets 3 backup snapshots, 2 daily and 1 weekly, so that you can pick just how far back in time you’d like to restore. Everything is included - files, emails and databases.

3 Circle

US or EU

You can choose from any of 2 US and 1 EU datacenters for your Pico hosting. Generally, we recommend choosing near you, or your target audience – but they’re all excellent!

4 Circle

Real Instant Setup

Shared and Reseller Hosting lets you get started without the need to pay some up front setup fee. Check your inbox – the details will already be waiting for you.

5 Circle

SSL

With totally free SSL certificates, you can lock down that browser to server communication – keeping your Pico users and the server free from eavesdropping – a terrific first step for security protocol.

6 Circle

Migration

Switching hosts can be hands-free on your end, leaving us to do the tasks for you. We’ve done thousands, so this is something we’ve gotten very good at!

Keep in mind that #1 - We don’t allow spam email to be sent from KnownHost servers. When you plan on conducting any legitimate sends to large email campaigns, keep in mind that you’ll need to be certain that recipients have agreed in advance (opt-in) to receiving email from you. Large sends, particularly the first time – that’s when you should give tech support a heads-up IN ADVANCE so that the team can make sure your account is configured properly and that you don’t get red-flagged for any reason.

It’s a fact – go to the Hyperspin website where you can track our uptime across many servers, and compare to plenty of other hosting companies. When it comes to long term consistency and great results, hands down KnownHost has the best uptime in the hosting industry. It’s been that way for years.

You can change your mind anytime within the first 30 days following sign-up. Just say the word, if you’re not satisfied, and we’ll refund your money. We guarantee 100% satisfaction or we’ll give you 100% refund.
