Questions
Is Grandhosting cheaper than DNHOST?
At the entry level, yes: our Micro is €3.49 + VAT a month, DNHOST's Business L €8.75 + VAT on a 12-month subscription or €11.36 without one. DNHOST's plan includes up to 100,000 pageviews a month; we bill by server usage, so a very busy site pays for what it uses.
DNHOST is in Greece. Does that matter?
It can. For visitors in Greece a server in Greece is closer, which helps most with the first byte of each page, and some businesses need their data in Greece specifically. If that's you, DNHOST states its data centre openly. If keeping your data in the EU is enough, we host mainly in Germany, always within the EU.
Can you move my site from DNHOST?
Yes, free. Our team moves the files, database, DNS and SSL, and your DNHOST site keeps running until you switch, so you can point the domain back if anything isn't right.
