Bytesoft provides web hosting in Greece for businesses that want their site to run properly without thinking about servers. Managed hosting and VPS with NVMe storage, Cloudflare CDN, SSL, backups and monitoring — and one real difference from a conventional host: the infrastructure is configured and maintained by the same team that builds websites, e-shops and applications. When something needs fixing, it isn't split into “a hosting issue” and “a developer issue”. It's one issue, solved by one person who understands both.
It fits e-shops with ERP or Skroutz integrations, corporate sites that are the first point of contact with customers, and applications that don't fit a plan. For a simple site of a few pages, a shared plan is probably enough — and if that's the case, we'll say so in the first conversation.

In conventional web hosting, the provider's responsibility ends at the server: OS, web server, PHP, database. Everything that runs on top — the CMS, plugins, the ERP connection, cron jobs — is the customer's or their developer's responsibility. That split makes sense for a host with thousands of customers. It isn't convenient for a business that simply wants its e-shop to work.
Bytesoft is a software development company based in Patras. We build websites, e-shops with ERP and Skroutz integrations and custom APIs, and we host them on infrastructure configured for that specific application. There is no server/application split; there is one project and one owner.
In practice:
Search “web hosting Greece” and you'll find three categories. Find yours before comparing prices — prices don't compare across categories.
| Criterion | Shared hosting | VPS (unmanaged) | Managed hosting (Bytesoft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billing model | A plan | Resources + your time | Resources + management, billed monthly |
| Who manages the server | The provider, in bulk | You (root) | We do, for your site |
| Resources | Shared, with CPU/IO/inode caps | Dedicated | Dedicated, configured for the project |
| Updates & security patches | Server level only | Your responsibility | Included (server + application) |
| Backups | Usually yes, restore often charged | Yours | Automated, with a recovery process |
| When the site goes down | You open a ticket | You read logs | Monitoring alerts the team |
| Best for | Simple corporate sites, blogs | Developers, teams with a sysadmin | E-shops, ERP/API-connected sites, businesses without IT |
Advantages of managed hosting: zero technical involvement from you, predictable performance, one accountable party, security that's actually maintained. Disadvantages: it costs more than shared hosting, it is not self-service (we manage it, not through cPanel), and for a small static site it is more than you need. If that's you, a shared plan is enough — and we'll tell you so.
“Managed” means something different at every provider. Here's our list, no asterisks:
| Included | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dedicated resources | VPS or dedicated, no other customers on the same server |
| NVMe storage | Expandable; size locks in discovery, not as a catalogue number |
| Cloudflare CDN & DNS | Edge caching, DDoS protection, DNS managed by us |
| SSL | Managed certificate, auto-renewal, HSTS |
| Backups | Automated, separate location, with a recovery process |
| Monitoring | Uptime, response time, resources, error rate — alerts to our team |
| Updates | OS, web server, PHP, database; CMS/plugin updates by agreement |
| Security | Firewall, rate limiting, Cloudflare security rules, vulnerability checks |
| Caching | Tuned for your site — not a generic plugin cache |
| Staging | Test environment before every substantial production change |
| Migration | Free from your previous provider, with minimal downtime |
Not included: domain registration (we work with a registrar and guide you), reseller plans, new feature development. service.
VPS hosting in Greece with full root access, your choice of OS, and an optional managed layer from us.
Exact resources (vCPU, RAM, NVMe) lock in discovery. Custom configurations on request.
Premium hosting isn't a price; it's dedicated resources, NVMe, CDN and caching so the site answers in tens of milliseconds instead of hundreds. Bytesoft premium hosting is built like this:
If the site is slow, hosting is usually half the problem; the other half is the code and the database. Because we build and host, we can look at both — and change what is actually wrong, not necessarily the plan.
Hosting security isn't a checkbox that says “SSL: yes”. It's layers:
For businesses with elevated requirements (healthcare, finance, large e-shops) we combine hosting with cybersecurity services: penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and compliance.
Origin location is agreed per project and written in the contract — we do not advertise it as a badge without that confirmation. The CDN (Cloudflare) serves visitors from points of presence worldwide, so we do not claim that “all data stays within the EU”.
For the data we host we act as a processor (GDPR Article 28) and provide a DPA on request. If you need an exclusively Greek datacenter for regulatory reasons, say so in discovery.
Migration is free for a new managed customer and is planned so the site does not go down. Here's how:
Email history is migrated only if it locks in discovery — it is not implied.
Yes, we host it as managed hosting: object cache, controlled updates, staging. It is not a separate “WordPress plan”.
Cron jobs, XML feeds, traffic spikes on promotions. Shared hosting throttles them; we tune resources and scheduling for that store. See e-shop development with ERP.

Managed hosting makes sense when the site generates revenue or is critical to operations. For personal sites, small blogs, or if you'd rather manage everything yourself through cPanel, a shared or unmanaged plan from a specialist host is the better choice — and we'll say so.
Requests are handled by the team that built or migrated your site, not a general helpdesk. For managing systems beyond the server, see IT support.
Prices depend on resources and management level, not on “number of sites”. We do not quote a price without discovery. The table shows indicative resources — the amount locks after analysis.
| Plan | For whom | Indicative resources |
|---|---|---|
| Managed Site | Corporate site, WordPress | from 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM, NVMe |
| Managed Commerce | E-shop with ERP/Skroutz, WooCommerce | from 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM, NVMe |
| VPS / App | Unmanaged VPS, applications, APIs | from 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM, sized to the workload |
Price per project, after a review. Request a quote. The cost covers dedicated resources and management by people who know your site. If you only need server space, cheaper options exist and we will point you to them.
There are many web hosting companies in Greece and most are decent. The “best hosting” depends on what you have. Ask:
If the answers satisfy you, the provider is right for you — whether it's us or not.
We aim for 99.9% uptime (not a guarantee) with monitoring, backups and managed support.
Yes — we plan and run a safe migration with minimal downtime.
Yes. We configure regular backups and a recovery process.
Yes — we tune resources and caching for demanding stores and APIs.
Bytesoft, based in Patras, offers VPS, managed hosting and migration for websites and e-shops across Greece. Support is remote.
Your site is files and a database. They need a computer that's always on, always connected and fast enough: that's the server, and the service that provides it is web hosting. Managed hosting means someone looks after it for you — server and application together.
Shared if the site is simple, low-traffic and not critical to revenue. VPS or managed if you sell online, integrate with an ERP, or can't tolerate downtime. See the comparison table above.
Yes. We don't need to have built the site. We audit it, migrate it and take over management.
No. Every provider caps CPU, memory, I/O and file count; “unlimited” usually refers to disk space only and comes with fair-use terms. We give you specific resources and tell you when you're outgrowing them.
Yes. We hand over a full backup of files and database, plus control of DNS. No exit fee.
Premium hosting means dedicated resources, NVMe, CDN and caching, with managed operations — not a shared plan with a nicer label. The difference shows up in time-to-first-byte and Core Web Vitals, not in the word “premium”.
Yes, as managed hosting with object cache, controlled updates and staging — not as a separate “WordPress plan”. The same applies to WooCommerce.
