SSD-based servers are hosted in a modern Tier III data center located in Madrid, Spain.
Pricing and Support
Avanhost’s hosting plans are quite expensive compared with other Spanish hosts, but you do get a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate with any hosting package.
Prices are listed in euros, and you can pay on various billing cycles from monthly to triennially, with no apparent discounts for longer commitments. At additional cost, you can also add a CMS, personal backups, or extra disk space at the checkout.
Avanhost openly offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and if you delve into their terms of service, you’ll discover an SLA that guarantees a refund ranging from 50% to 100% of your monthly fee if the availability drops below 99.81%.
You can contact the 24/7 technical support team via telephone, ticketing system, or email, but not live chat. Unfortunately, my exploratory email received no reply.
For self-support, Avanhost offers just four FAQs but also a better blog containing a few tutorials:
