Web hosting Smartape

SmartApe has stood apart on the Russian hosting market since 2012. While most providers painstakingly calculate every gigabyte of disk space and the number of databases in their tariffs, these guys took the path of simplification. Their calling card is "Unlimited Hosting", where the user is offered not to be bogged down with limits, but just to place projects. All-inclusive philosophy SmartApe's main trump card is the "Unlimited 3.0" tariff. The idea is to remove artificial barriers: the number of sites, domains, mailboxes and disk capacity are not limited by software. Of course, we understand that "infinite" disks do not exist in nature, and this is where the Fair Use Policy comes into play. CloudLinux is used so that one voracious client does not "put down" the entire server. This system isolates accounts from each other, allocating each clearly delineated CPU and RAM resources. As a result, you get the stability of a VPS for the price of regular shared hosting. This is a great solution for web studios that run dozens of small client sites and do not want to buy a separate package for each one. Infrastructure and location SmartApe servers are physically located in Moscow, in one of the most reliable data centers in the country - DataPro. This is a Tier III level, which in human language means: power, cooling and communication channel redundancy is top-notch. For projects oriented at the audience from Russia and the CIS, it provides minimal delays and compliance with the law on personal data storage. Everything is also up-to-date in terms of hardware: fast SSD drives are used here, and in VPS lines you can find NVMe. For databases and heavy CMS like "1C-Bitrix" it is critically important - pages load significantly faster than on old HDDs. Technology stack and management The provider does not try to reinvent the wheel in terms of interfaces and offers ISPmanager 6. This is the most popular control panel in Russia, which everyone is used to. It is intuitive: installing an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt is done in a couple of clicks, and switching PHP versions (from ancient 5.x to current 8.x) does not require digging through configs. What else is important for practice: Script auto-installer: Over 400 engines (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.) are deployed in a minute. DDoS protection: Basic traffic filtering is included in all plans. It cuts off typical garbage at the network level, preventing the server from going down under attack. Backups: Backups are performed on a daily basis. However, it is worth remembering that the storage depth of standard backups is shallow, so for critical data it is better to set up your backups to external storage. Support and relocation If you decide to change your current provider, SmartApe technicians will take care of website migration. And they do it for free and turnkey - copy files, bases, customize mail and make sure that nothing "falls off" in the new place. Support works around the clock. You can get in touch via the ticket system or chat. Answers usually come quickly and substantively, without endless quoting of reference articles. For those who like to touch everything with their hands first, there is a test period of 14 days. This is enough time to run performance tests and evaluate the usability of the panel. Who is it for? SmartApe is a working platform for those who are tired of keeping track of disk quotas and number of sites. It's ideal for: Small and medium-sized businesses that need a reliable Moscow-based site with a clear price tag. SEO-specialists and webmasters who create PBNs, where ease of managing a mass of domains is important. Developers who need a quick start on familiar software without unnecessary complications. Bottom line: SmartApe is not trying to appear "elite" or innovative. It's a solid, predictable provider with a transparent payment model and an excellent data center. If you need hosting that you can "forget about" after customization, they're worth a look.
