Real people, on-site in Ireland.
There are several established web hosts in Ireland, and the honest way to compare them is on facts each one publishes: control panel, backups, where the servers are and what email is included. This guide does that for Blacknight, Register365, Hosting Ireland, Webworld and Web60, based on their own pages as of October 2026. It does not rank them, and it leaves out prices, which change often.
Everything below is taken from each provider's own site as of October 2026. Where a page does not say something, this guide says so. Promotional prices, first-month offers and VAT treatment vary and change, so check them before you buy. Our general guides to web hosting cost and the WordPress hosting checklist help you weigh what a price includes.
For the wider picture of hosting for Irish businesses, see the web hosting in Ireland guide.
Blacknight's homepage lists web hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud VPS, dedicated servers and website builders. It says all its servers are hosted in Ireland, with data centres in Carlow and Dublin, and describes Titan Email mailboxes, with basic email in its hosting. Backups are sold as an add-on. The homepage does not name its control panel, though a 2022 Blacknight post said new shared accounts use Plesk.
Register365's site says it is part of team.blue, with copyright held by Namesco Ireland Limited. It offers four named hosting plans with an in-house control panel and 1 to 28 daily backups depending on the plan, and says hosting is in a Tier3+ data centre without naming a location. Email is a separate product.
Hosting Ireland's site names Team Blue Internet Services IE Limited trading as Hosting Ireland, also part of team.blue. It uses cPanel with Softaculous installs and states that its hosting is in Irish data centres. Website backup is sold as a separate product, and email is a pay-as-you-grow service. Neither site, on the pages reviewed, describes a migration service.
Webworld's site names Sternforth Limited trading as WebWorld and lists web hosting on DirectAdmin, plus cPanel, Plesk, VPS, dedicated servers and colocation. It states two Dublin data centres and offers Orion business email separately. The page reviewed does not mention backups.
Web60 is a trading name of SmartHost Web Services Limited. Its page describes a single WordPress hosting plan, with backups every 12 hours kept for seven days, SSH and WP-CLI access, data in Irish data centres on SmartHost's own infrastructure, and free migration of existing WordPress sites. It does not describe email hosting.
A comparison table cannot tell you everything, so ask the same questions of each. Where exactly are the servers, in writing? How many backups are kept and for how long, and who restores them? What does the renewal price become after any first-term offer? Is email part of the plan or sold separately? If you are moving an existing site, is the migration done for you, and does it cover email as well as files?
The answers matter more than the headline price. A host that includes backups and a migration may cost the same as a cheaper one that charges for each separately.
HostBible states data centre regions across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific rather than individual countries, so if hosting in Ireland is a contractual requirement, ask every provider, HostBible included, to confirm location in writing, and see our data residency guide.
What it does offer: free migration of files, databases, email and WordPress sites from any host and panel, LiteSpeed servers, SSD storage, a free SSL certificate on every plan, a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 99.9% uptime SLA, with daily backups on its higher-tier plans. Whichever you choose, ask to see the backup retention, the migration help and the renewal price in writing.
HostBible's team migrates websites, databases, email and WordPress sites from any host to a hosting plan, tested on a staging copy first.
