o2switch is a benchmark of French shared hosting: unlimited, cPanel, 24/7 support in Clermont-Ferrand. Since the switch to the Grow, Cloud and Pro offers, the entry ticket is €7/month excl. VAT — too much for a simple brochure site. OnetSolutions offers French cPanel hosting from €2.39/month excl. VAT yearly, with French-speaking support 7 days a week. Here is the line-by-line comparison, including where o2switch stays ahead.
For a brochure site, a blog or a personal project, OnetSolutions is markedly cheaper: €2.39/month excl. VAT yearly (€2.99 monthly) versus €7/month excl. VAT for o2switch's Grow offer. For professional multi-site use, our Business offer at €7.99/month excl. VAT yearly sits at Grow's level, with 50 GB NVMe, unlimited e-mail and databases and daily backup.
o2switch keeps the edge as soon as you want unlimited volume: disk space, sites, e-mail, databases with no cap, 30 to 90 days of backup retention, and Cloud and Pro offers with dedicated resources. If you host dozens of client sites on a single account, o2switch is probably a better fit.
In practice: one or a few sites, controlled budget, wanting hosting, VPS and domains in a single console — OnetSolutions. Volume-hungry multi-site agency, heavy traffic, need for dedicated resources on shared hosting — o2switch remains an excellent choice.
Every row is based on both providers' public pages on the date shown. Prices excl. VAT per month; o2switch prices are those of the yearly subscription outside first-year promotion.

The reasons that come up in the migration requests we handle, without embellishment.
€2.39/month excl. VAT yearly versus €7/month excl. VAT: for a brochure site or a blog, o2switch's unlimited is paid for resources you will never use.
o2switch bills yearly. At OnetSolutions you can pay monthly and stop when you want; yearly is a choice that saves 20%.
Hosting, VPS, domain names, invoices and tickets in a single console, with cPanel on top for those used to it. No need for a second provider when your project grows.
Individuel, Business, then a cPanel VPS with dedicated resources: you grow without re-migrating, and our team handles the transfer.
Our French team transfers your sites, databases and e-mail from cPanel to cPanel. It is not billed: it is simply how we welcome a customer.
Like o2switch, we host in France and reply in French. You lose nothing on that front by switching.
An honest comparison also says when to stay. In these situations, we advise you not to migrate.
Dozens of sites, hundreds of mailboxes, terabytes of files: o2switch's unlimited has real value for you. Our 10 or 50 GB will not be enough.
o2switch's long retention is a real plus for an e-commerce or high-contribution site. Our daily backup is included on Business, but with a shorter retention.
The Cloud and Pro offers isolate CPU and RAM per sub-account. With us, the equivalent is a cPanel VPS — more powerful, but yours to administer.
In-house tools, team habits, client accounts spread across sub-accounts: if everything is tuned for o2switch and the invoice suits you, switching brings little.
cPanel on both sides: the migration is an account transfer, no reinstall. Your o2switch site stays online until the switch.
Choose Individuel or Business: the cPanel account is created in a few minutes with its temporary address.
Generate a full backup from o2switch cPanel, or give us your credentials: we restore files, databases and e-mail with us.
Test your site and webmail on the temporary URL before any switch: the o2switch site keeps serving your visitors.
Point your domain to our servers (or transfer it to us), verify, then let the o2switch subscription expire.
Before switching DNS, lower the TTL to 300 seconds the day before: propagation will be almost instant and your visitors will notice nothing.
Price, unlimited, backups, migration, support: concrete answers for those comparing o2switch and OnetSolutions.
For a brochure site or a blog, yes, markedly: €2.39/month excl. VAT yearly versus €7/month excl. VAT for the Grow offer. For professional use, our Business offer at €7.99/month excl. VAT yearly is at Grow's level. o2switch becomes more attractive again if you need unlimited space, sites or mailboxes.
In February 2025, o2switch replaced its historical single offer with three plans — Grow at €7, Cloud at €16 and Pro at €24/month excl. VAT — citing more resources and security. Many customers moved to Cloud saw their invoice rise, which revived searches for alternatives.
Both providers use cPanel: a full backup generated at o2switch restores with us with files, databases, e-mail and configuration. You can do it yourself or give us your credentials; we assist you up to the DNS switch.
No, if you proceed in order: your o2switch site keeps responding while we restore and test everything on the temporary address. The only visible transition is the DNS change, almost instant if you lower the TTL in advance.
Yes: cPanel is included on both our offers, with the same tools you know (file manager, phpMyAdmin, e-mail, subdomains, SSL). You gain the OnetSolutions console on top for billing, domains and any VPS.
Yes: the cPanel backup carries the mailboxes and their content. After restore, you simply reconfigure the incoming/outgoing server in your mail clients, or use the included Roundcube webmail.
Daily backup is included on the Business offer. On Individuel, you can generate full backups from cPanel at any time. o2switch offers daily backups with 30 to 90 days of retention depending on the offer: on that point, o2switch is ahead.
Yes, 24/7, by French-speaking technicians. o2switch also offers French 24/7 support: on that point, the two providers are equal.
Order monthly with no commitment, let us migrate your cPanel account, and keep o2switch until everything is validated. 30-day money-back guarantee.
