koigrid vs BanaHosting
Isolated, managed WordPress hosting at shared-hosting prices — the agent-native alternative to BanaHosting.
BanaHosting is cheap, but "unlimited domains" means one oversold shared LAMP box where a noisy neighbour can exhaust the inode table and take your site down with it. koigrid gives every account its own isolated container (OpenLiteSpeed) with native .htaccess, a managed MariaDB Galera database and free egress on Hetzner — installed by one API call and manageable end-to-end by an AI agent.
| Feature | koigrid | BanaHosting |
|---|---|---|
| Isolation | Per-account container (a neighbour can’t take you down) | Shared LAMP (oversold) |
| Install | 1-click by API / your agent | cPanel Softaculous (clicks) |
| Database | Managed MariaDB Galera (HA-ready) | Shared MySQL |
| Egress fees | None (Hetzner) | Metered bandwidth |
| Agent-native | Full API + WP-CLI over HTTP | None |
What koigrid improves
A neighbour can’t take you down
Each account is its own container with a real resource cap — no shared inode table to exhaust.
Agent-native
Install plugins, themes and updates from Claude Code or any LLM via WP-CLI over the API.
No egress fees
On Hetzner, traffic is effectively free — no metered bandwidth surprises at the end of the month.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than BanaHosting?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from BanaHosting without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Is my data hosted in the EU?
Yes. koigrid is EU-hosted (on Hetzner) with data sovereignty by default.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
