Hosting, Market by Market
Web hosting built for Spain
What actually differs when your order comes from Spain: the local domains we can register, what your card is charged, the distance to our servers, how tax applies, and which payment methods we still can't accept.
Local Differences
Buying from Spain, point by point
This isn't a template with the country swapped in. Each line below shifts with where you're ordering from.
Local domain endings
.es — all of these we register for you directly.
Prices in your currency
Figures display in EUR; the card is billed in USD. The conversion happens at your bank, which may add a fee of its own.
How far our servers sit
About 10–35 ms for the round trip. Full speed. Putting a server inside your own borders would gain you nothing.
Support on your clock
CET/CEST — sits an hour later than the clock we work to. First replies target 2 hours in English, day or night.
Local Endings
What your national ending costs
Numbers pulled directly from our live price list — no rounded estimates.
| Domain ending | Year one |
|---|---|

| .eu | $8.99open to anyone resident inside the EU |

Unique to Spain
Details that apply in this market only
At roughly 30 ms, Spain sits a little outside Western Europe's core, which is still quick enough that nobody watching your page will notice. No local-presence rule hangs over .es, so you can have one registered right away. The gap worth naming is Bizum.
Operating in Spain
Beyond price and ping
The parts of running a site here that a plan comparison never covers.
One country, several languages, one hosting account
One Spanish site is rarely one site. Sell into Catalonia, Galicia or the Basque Country and you'll be running Castilian alongside Catalan, Galician or Basque as a matter of course, and the translation plugin doing that work multiplies three things at once: how many pages you have, how big the database grows, and how many URLs a crawler must chew through. It reads like a content problem. It lands on the hosting, and it's the usual reason a Spanish store outgrows an entry plan long before its visitor numbers say it should.
Put the language variants in subdirectories or on subdomains under one account, rather than spreading them over separate hosting. That gives you a single SSL certificate, one backup set and one place to clear the cache. Regional endings aren't something we register. The national .es carries no local-presence rule, though, so it's open to you whenever you want it.
- Pages and database rows multiply on a multilingual build long before visitors do
- Hold all of the languages inside one account: one certificate, one daily backup, and one cache you ever have to purge
- No local-presence rule on .es, so we register it outright
At Checkout
Payment methods that work at checkout, and those that don't
Where our supported methods diverge from your country's habits — flagged up front, not discovered at payment time.
What we accept
Any Visa, Mastercard or American Express card, credit or debit alike, issued in Spain or anywhere else, provided the issuer has enabled international payments on it. Stripe handles the transaction end to end, so those digits never land on our servers.
Not supported yet
Bizum, first choice for a lot of people in Spain these days. It isn't something our billing can take. Pay us by card instead.

Asked and Answered
What customers in Spain want to know
Does ordering work from Spain?
Absolutely. Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards issued in Spain are all accepted, and provisioning fires automatically the second payment clears — no manual approval step, no need to be anywhere near the UK. Prices display in EUR so you can judge the cost; the actual charge reaches your card in USD.
Which payment methods are common in Spain, and do you accept them?
Here is the honest version rather than the sales one. Bizum, first choice for a lot of people in Spain these days. It isn't something our billing can take. Pay us by card instead. The one method that always works is a card enabled for international payments. Better to know that now than after an hour spent comparing plans.
How fast will pages load for visitors in Spain?
Our hardware runs in London, roughly 10–35 ms away. Full speed. Putting a server inside your own borders would gain you nothing. For a first-time visitor pulling a cached page, the gap barely registers — an edge node near them can serve it. Where distance does show up is logged-in activity: the WordPress dashboard, a checkout, anything uncacheable, because each of those actions makes the full London round trip. Our infrastructure page breaks down what a CDN speeds up and what it cannot touch.
Will tax be added to an order from Spain?
Order from inside the EU and VAT may apply. Where it does, the amount is worked out and shown at checkout before a penny leaves your account, so nothing gets bolted on afterwards. Buying as a VAT-registered business? Put in your number and the reverse charge takes care of it.
Do I need a UK address to hold an account?
No. The company running things is British — Vitalcare at Home Ltd, registered in England and Wales under number 15098204, verifiable on the public Companies House register — yet buying hosting involves no residency check and no business-registration check. An order from Spain processes exactly like one from London.
What happens if the plan doesn't suit me?
Hosting plans give you 30 days to change your mind, reseller plans 7. That is long enough to put a real site live and measure it against your own traffic instead of taking our figures on trust. Still not convinced? Ask for your money back. Domain registrations are the one exception, because the registry bills us the moment a name goes live, which makes them non-refundable.
