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.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
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.
