We design premium Swiss-based hosting with speed, transparency, and developer tools in mind.
Our positioning: a Swiss provider focused on LiteSpeed performance, NVMe storage, and a global CDN. We include free SSL, daily backups, malware protection, and the Orbit AI builder. That combo aims for sub-200ms delivery for U.S. visitors.
LucusHost has an active WHTop presence since 2020 and recent updates. Their listing shows market continuity and credible service history.
Product lineup: web hosting, Managed WordPress, and VPS plans for growing sites. Each plan ships with developer-friendly tooling and multi-region data centers to cut latency.
Reliability & support: daily backups and restore tools reduce risk. Our 24/7 expert support resolves most requests in minutes — we measure outcomes, not ticket counts.

| Reliability | Daily backups, malware protection | Depends on plan tier | 
| Support | 24/7 expert support, fast resolution | Active WHTop listing, ongoing updates | 
| Pricing | Transparent checkout and renewals | Varies by plan | 
Speed and Global TTFB: Sub-200ms vs Typical Shared Hosting Averages
Fast delivery matters. Our LiteSpeed web server plus a global CDN aims for sub-200ms global TTFB in real tests. That speed cuts first-paint delays and helps SEO and user retention.
LiteSpeed + CDN for ultra-fast delivery
We pair LiteSpeed with edge caching to keep server work minimal. Pages hit an edge POP first, lowering origin load and average response time.
Impact of NVMe SSD and caching on Core Web Vitals
NVMe SSD reduces disk I/O latency for dynamic sites and heavy plugins. Smart server caching trims CPU time and stabilizes LCP and FID.
What visitors see across regions
U.S. visitors get the best routing and sub-200ms TTFB from nearby POPs. Europe and Asia see consistent, stable times thanks to multi-region presence.
| Metric | Our Stack | Typical Shared Hosting | 
|---|---|---|
| Global TTFB | Sub-200ms | 300–800ms | 
| Storage | NVMe SSD | HDD or SATA SSD | 
| Scaling | Same stack on VPS | Performance varies by plan | 
Uptime and Reliability: 99.99% Target and Real-World Consistency
Consistent availability is the backbone of any reliable web hosting plan. We commit to a 99.99% uptime target and design every layer to meet it. Our focus is on predictable time-to-recovery and clear communication when incidents occur.
Daily backups and malware protection as part of reliability posture
Backups and security are not optional. We run daily disk snapshots and offsite copies. Fast restores keep your website live and minimize lost time.
- Redundant infrastructure: multiple POPs, failover routes, and proactive monitoring to reach 99.99% uptime.
- Daily backups: automated disk snapshots with tested restores to reduce recovery time.
- Malware and WAF: continuous scans and firewall layers that stop threats before they affect servers.
- Transparent status: clear incident notes and root-cause updates so you know what happened and when.
- Minutes-to-resolution support: 24/7 expert teams that act fast—because every minute affects revenue.
- Disk integrity & RAID: hardware redundancy and periodic restore drills to verify data safety.
We pair these protections with sensible plans and clear SLAs. For a quick look at our available options, see our web hosting plans. That way you get performance, security, and support in one package.
Pricing Transparency and Total Cost of Ownership
Clear pricing saves teams time and removes surprises when you budget for web hosting.
We publish simple, upfront rates so you see renewals and total cost at checkout. That clarity removes guesswork and reduces unexpected charges over time.
Included features matter more than the sticker price. Free SSL, daily backups, malware protection, and a global CDN cut the need for paid add-ons. Those inclusions lower your total cost of ownership and simplify billing.
No hidden fees — and common pitfalls to watch
- Teaser pricing that jumps at renewal — check year-two price carefully.
- Checkout upsells — add-ons can double your monthly bill without notice.
- Punitive overage rules — we scale plans without surprise caps or fees.
“We publish renewals up front and list included features so teams can budget with confidence.”
| What we publish | Why it helps | What to check on competitors | 
|---|---|---|
| Renewal price shown at checkout | Avoids surprise billing in year two | Teaser rates and hidden renewal spikes | 
| Included SSL, backups, malware, CDN | Reduces add-on costs and admin time | Promotions that omit essential features | 
| Clear invoices and feature matrix | Faster plan comparison and decision time | Complex invoices and ambiguous feature limits | 
LucusHost may run promotions; always compare renewal pricing and what’s actually included before you commit. We aim to make the math simple so you spend less time on bills and more time on your web projects.
Included Features That Add Real Value
Real value comes from bundled protections that keep your website fast and safe. We build each hosting plan to include essentials so teams avoid piecing together add-ons later.
Free SSL certificates and 256-bit encryption best practices
Every plan includes free SSL certificates and enforced TLS. We use strong ciphers and 256 bit encryption to protect data in transit.
Daily backups, malware scans, and restore workflows
We run automated daily backups and malware scans to reduce risk. Clear restore workflows mean you recover in predictable time without manual disk juggling.
Global CDN and edge caching policies
Our global CDN caches content at edge POPs to cut origin server load and lower page time for U.S. visitors. Edge policies favor cached assets and quick purges when you update content.
- No extra fees: SSL certificates on every plan.
- Fast restores: Retention windows and tested RTOs.
- Bundled value: Security and speed together so your website runs reliably.

Plan Types Compared: Shared, Managed WordPress, VPS, and More
Choosing the right plan means matching resources to real traffic and growth goals. We outline the common plan types and how each fits typical U.S. website needs.
Web hosting services for individuals and small businesses
Shared hosting is ideal for new sites and local businesses that need low cost and reliable performance. Our shared hosting plans use LiteSpeed caching and NVMe storage to keep pages fast.
Benefits: low entry price, automatic security updates, and a simple control panel for site owners.
Managed WordPress Hosting for agencies and WooCommerce
Managed WordPress plans add automatic updates, server-side caching, and WooCommerce tuning. These plans reduce maintenance and improve conversion speed for stores.
For store owners who want turnkey performance, consider our WooCommerce hosting linked as a focused option: WooCommerce hosting.
VPS hosting and reseller hosting considerations
VPS hosting gives dedicated CPU, RAM, and root access for high-traffic sites and custom stacks. It’s the right step when shared resources limit growth.
Reseller hosting fits agencies that manage multiple client websites. It offers account isolation and white-label tools to simplify billing and branding.
- Start lean: choose shared hosting for low-cost launches.
- Scale smoothly: move to VPS hosting when traffic or plugins need dedicated resources.
- Agency fit: reseller plans help manage multiple client sites with isolation and white-label options.
- We help: our support team advises on plan choice based on traffic patterns and technical comfort.
| Plan type | Best for | Key benefits | 
|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting | Individuals, small businesses | Low cost, easy setup, fast LiteSpeed stack | 
| Managed WordPress | Agencies, WooCommerce stores | Auto updates, server caching, store optimizations | 
| VPS hosting | High traffic sites, custom stacks | Dedicated resources, root access, predictable performance | 
| Reseller hosting | Agencies and developers | White-label tools, account isolation, client billing |

Orbit turns an idea into a live site in minutes, not days. We built the tool to cut setup time and remove common friction when you choose a hosting plan. Get a polished website skeleton first, then refine content and visuals.
Ship a professional site in under five minutes
Quick launches matter. Orbit assembles copy, sections, and design tailored to niche needs. That means less wait time and faster validation of business ideas.
AI’s role in SEO-ready structures and page speed
Orbit scaffolds SEO-friendly sitemaps, headings, and internal links. Templates are tuned for LiteSpeed and our CDN so pages load fast by default. SSL and caching come enabled at deploy time.
- Orbit builds a professional website in under five minutes — content and design matched to your niche.

|---|---|---|
| Time to launch | Under 5 minutes | Hours to weeks | 
| SEO scaffolding | Automated sitemaps & headings | Manual setup required | 
| Performance out of the box | LiteSpeed + CDN optimized | Depends on stack and tuning | 
| Support handoff | 24/7 expert guidance | Varies by plan and vendor | 
Developer Stack and CMS Compatibility
Modern web projects demand runtime flexibility and easy access to server tools. We support PHP, Node.js, and Python so teams can run frameworks, APIs, or traditional CMS sites on the same hosting platform.
WordPress and WooCommerce run especially well here. LiteSpeed acceleration reduces CPU use and speeds dynamic pages. That means faster checkout, better Core Web Vitals, and fewer scaling headaches for stores.
Developers get familiar control panel access for domains, SSL, email, and DNS. At the same time, FTP accounts and SSH keep CI/CD and command-line workflows smooth.
- Full-stack flexibility: multiple PHP versions, Node and Python runtimes.
- LiteSpeed tuned: WordPress and WooCommerce optimizations for dynamic speed.
- Developer tools: control panel, FTP accounts, SSH, and logs for tuning.
- VPS when needed: custom OS images, private networks, and stronger control.
| Capability | What you get | Why it matters | 
|---|---|---|
| Runtimes | PHP, Node.js, Python | Run frameworks, APIs, and modern web apps | 
| CMS Performance | LiteSpeed + caching | Lower CPU, faster page loads, better SEO | 
| Access & tooling | Control panel, FTP accounts, SSH, logs | Faster deployments and easier debugging | 
| Scaling path | Managed plans → VPS | More control, dedicated resources, private networking | 
Data Centers, Latency, and Geo-Redundancy
We place infrastructure where your users live so pages load fast and consistently. Our footprint covers Switzerland, the USA, Europe, and Asia to reduce physical distance and cut time to first byte for typical U.S. audiences.
Routing matters as much as hardware. For U.S. visitors we prioritize domestic POPs and trusted peering so coast-to-coast performance stays stable. That lowers jitter and improves page responsiveness for every website we host.
What this means for your site
- Multiple regional locations reduce TTFB and improve overall web hosting performance.
- U.S.-centric routing gives predictable time and steady results for marketing and ops SLAs.
- Geo-redundancy and offsite backups protect uptime—failover keeps servers reachable during incidents.
- VPS in-region options deliver consistent latency for APIs, headless commerce, and real-time apps.
| Feature | Benefit | Why it matters | 
|---|---|---|
| Multi-region data centers | Lower latency | Faster page loads for users | 
| U.S.-first routing | Stable coast-to-coast time | Better conversions and UX | 
| Geo-redundant backups | Quick recovery | Higher uptime and trust | 
Security Posture and Compliance Essentials
Your site’s trust signals start with correct encryption and active threat defenses. We make security standard across every web hosting plan. That means hardened encryption, active blocking, and clear recovery policies by default.
SSL/TLS, WAF layers, and malware protection
SSL/TLS is enabled by default with hardened ciphers to protect checkout and login pages. We include free ssl certificates on every hosting plan to boost trust and SEO signals.
WAF and malware scanning run continuously. They identify common exploits, block malicious traffic, and reduce risk before it reaches the server.
Backup policies and recovery time objectives
Daily snapshots and offsite copies protect disk data and site files. Retention windows are clear so compliance and audits are simple.
- RTOs: automated restores and expert support on standby 24/7 to meet business time needs.
- Access control: MFA and role-based permissions protect control panels and accounts.
- Compliance-ready: logging and tested restores that fit typical regulatory needs.
| Feature | Value | Why it matters | 
|---|---|---|
| SSL/TLS | Default, hardened | Protects data in transit | 
| Backups | Daily, offsite | Fast recovery after incidents | 
| WAF & Malware | Continuous | Stops common attacks early | 
Support Quality and Resolution Time
Our support team acts like a fired-up pit crew — fast, focused, and ready every hour of every day. We treat incidents as urgent business events and keep communication clear until they’re closed.
24/7 expert support with minutes-to-resolution performance
Real engineers on shift 24/7 — not scripts. When a website is down or accounts misbehave, you get actionable fixes fast.
Most tickets resolve in minutes. Complex issues get senior ownership and clear ETAs so time-to-resolution is visible.

Use Cases: Which Host Fits Your Project
We map real workloads to plans so your site runs fast and your bills stay predictable. Choosing the right hosting means matching resources to traffic, not chasing every shiny feature. We help you pick a plan that fits today and scales tomorrow.
Personal sites and blogs on shared hosting plans
Personal sites and blogs do well on shared hosting. LiteSpeed, free SSL, and daily backups give speed and safety without high cost.
Shared hosting plans are easy to manage. You get core performance and simple control panels. That means faster launches and fewer maintenance headaches.
Small business websites and email accounts
Small businesses need a fast site and reliable email. Our plans include professional email accounts and predictable pricing.
Managed WordPress options add caching and updates so stores and service sites convert better. You avoid plugin juggling and surprise renewals.
Agencies, reseller hosting, and multi-domain management
Agencies benefit from reseller hosting and staging tools. Manage many domains, spin up client staging sites, and white-label billing.
When traffic grows, we recommend a move to VPS. That gives dedicated CPU and RAM with minimal friction and near-zero downtime.
- Personal blogs: shared hosting plans with LiteSpeed and backups.
- SMBs: managed plans plus email accounts for professional communication.
- Agencies: reseller hosting, multi-site tools, and staging workflows.

| Agency | Reseller hosting / VPS | Multi-domain management, staging, scalability | 
We guide your choice so you don’t overbuy or underpower your project. Our support team maps features to goals and helps you move plans when traffic or complexity grows.
Migration, Onboarding, and Growth Paths
Migrations should remove risk, not add a weekend of firefighting. We manage moves with clear DNS timing, staged validation, and rollback plans. That reduces downtime and customer impact.
Zero-downtime moves and staging workflows
Zero-downtime is achievable. We run DNS cutover windows, pre-sync databases, and validate on staging before the final swap. Staging environments mirror production so updates are safe.
“We handle DNS planning and validation checklists so your website stays live during migration.”
Scaling from shared hosting to VPS hosting
Growth paths are simple and predictable. You can bump resources on your current plan or migrate to a VPS when CPU, RAM, or concurrent users rise.
- Staging first: test plugins, themes, and PHP worker changes.
- Engineer guidance: caching, PHP workers, and DB tuning to keep performance crisp.
- Clear docs & support: live guidance shortens time to value and lowers risk.
| Stage | Action | Benefit | 
|---|---|---|
| Pre-migration | Staging sync, DNS window set | Validation without user impact | 
| Cutover | Final sync, DNS TTL swap | Zero-downtime switch | 
| Post-migration | Performance tuning, QA | Stable site and predictable server load |

FAQ
What’s the key difference between BoostedHost and LucusHost in 2025?
BoostedHost focuses on ultra-fast delivery—LiteSpeed, NVMe SSDs, and global CDN—plus AI site tools and strict transparency on pricing. LucusHost competes with broader market presence and typical shared hosting feature sets. Choose BoostedHost for priority speed and modern stacks; choose LucusHost if you prefer a longer-established catalog or specific market listings.
Do either provider include a free domain name with shared hosting plans?
Yes — select plans from both providers often include a free domain registration for the first year. Always confirm at checkout and watch renewal rates; domain registration and transfer terms differ by registrar and plan.
Are SSL certificates included and what level of encryption is used?
Both hosts include free SSL certificates on most plans. They support strong TLS configurations and 256‑bit encryption practices for data in transit when configured properly. Optionally upgrade to advanced certs for EV or multi‑domain needs.
How do they handle backups and malware protection?
Plans typically include daily backups, malware scans, and one‑click restore workflows. Higher tiers add retention windows and on‑demand restores. Verify backup frequency and RTOs before signing up if recovery speed matters to you.
What control panels and developer tools are available?
Both providers offer popular control panels with FTP accounts, SSH, and staging tools. They support PHP, Node.js, and Python stacks. For WordPress and WooCommerce, LiteSpeed caches and WP‑optimized stacks are common.
Can I host multiple websites and use reseller hosting?
Yes. Shared hosting plans support unlimited subdomains and multiple domains on higher tiers. Reseller hosting is available for agencies that need separate client accounts, WHM/cPanel or equivalent, and billing integrations.
What uptime guarantees and real-world reliability can I expect?
Providers aim for 99.99% uptime SLAs. Real‑world consistency depends on routing, datacenter redundancy, and monitoring. Look for SLA terms, credits, and published uptime histories when uptime is mission‑critical.
How fast will my site load for U.S., EU, and Asia visitors?
With NVMe SSDs, LiteSpeed, and a global CDN, you can expect sub‑200ms TTFB in optimized setups across primary regions. Non‑CDN, default shared hosting often shows higher latency—test with real traffic or trial plans.
Do they offer VPS hosting and managed WordPress plans?
Yes. Both vendors provide VPS hosting with dedicated resources and managed WordPress plans optimized for performance and automatic security updates. VPS tiers scale CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage for traffic growth.
How transparent is pricing and what hidden costs should I watch for?
Top providers list base prices and renewal rates but watch for setup fees, domain renewals, migration costs, and premium support add‑ons. Check TOS for resource limits—CPU throttling, inode limits, and overage charges.
What migration and onboarding support do they provide?
Many plans include free or assisted migrations with zero‑downtime staging workflows. Support covers database export/import, DNS changes, and SSL provisioning. Confirm the number of free migrations and SLA for complex sites.
How good is customer support and average resolution time?
Both advertise 24/7 support via chat and ticketing. Top performers resolve common issues in minutes and complex tickets within hours. Look for published SLAs, knowledge bases, and response benchmarks.
Are there tools for SEO, email accounts, and analytics included?
Hosting plans include email accounts, basic analytics, and integrations that support SEO best practices—caching, fast TTFB, and SSL. Advanced SEO tools or premium email features may cost extra or be part of add‑ons.
How do AI website builders compare to traditional setups?
AI builders can ship a professional, SEO‑ready site in under five minutes with templates and page speed optimizations. Traditional setups give finer control for complex sites and developer stacks. Use AI builders for speed; use traditional stacks for custom performance tuning.
What security features and compliance should I expect?
Expect SSL/TLS, WAF layers, malware scanning, brute‑force protection, and backups. For compliance (GDPR, PCI), confirm datacenter locations, logging, and available contractual addenda. Hardened defaults reduce risk out of the box.
Which host is best for agencies managing multiple client domains?
Choose plans that include reseller features, account isolation, WHM or similar control panels, and billing automation. Look for unlimited subdomains, staging workflows, and priority support for agency workflows.
What should I consider when scaling from shared hosting to VPS?
Plan for resource limits, snapshot backups, and migration tools. VPS offers dedicated CPU/RAM, NVMe storage, and predictable performance. Check vertical scaling options, CPU allocation, and network throughput before upgrading.
Where can I find independent reviews and performance data?
Consult third‑party performance audits, uptime reports, and market listings like WHTop for context. Run trial accounts and live tests—TTFB, global routing, and real user metrics will confirm claims.
