Quick answer
Which is better for private web hosting, Velumhold or FlokiNET?
Velumhold is the better choice if price per gigabyte matters: 50 GB of NVMe costs $5.35 a month against €17.50 for 60 GB at FlokiNET (2 November 2026), with no setup fee. FlokiNET is the better choice if you need Finland, cPanel, a payment method other than crypto, or a host running since 2012.

Prices checked on
FlokiNET plan names were read as Romania I to V on 13 November 2026; the survey of 2 November recorded the same prices and storage. FlokiNET's 12-month discount is not visible without the cart, so only month-to-month prices are compared.
What does the same amount of space cost at each host?
According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, FlokiNET's five shared plans cost €3.50 to €25.00 a month in Bucharest, and the Reykjavik price is €1.00 higher on four of them and €5.00 higher on the largest. Each Velumhold plan is set against the smallest FlokiNET plan with at least as much storage.
| Velumhold plan | Velumhold, 1 month | Velumhold, yearly term per month | FlokiNET plan | FlokiNET Bucharest | FlokiNET Reykjavik |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tulle, 1 website, 20 GB | $3.56 | $2.49 | Romania II, 25 GB, 5 databases | €6.00 (≈ $6.70) | €7.00 (≈ $7.82) |
| Chiffon, 10 websites, 50 GB | $5.35 | $3.74 | Romania IV, 60 GB | €17.50 (≈ $19.55) | €18.50 (≈ $20.67) |

Is Velumhold or FlokiNET cheaper for a small website?
For a site that needs 20 to 25 GB, Velumhold costs $3.56 a month and FlokiNET €6.00 (about $6.70) in Bucharest, so Velumhold is the lower bill month to month. On the yearly term the gap widens, because Tulle drops to $2.49 a month, 30% under its monthly rate.
FlokiNET's own entry plan, Romania I, costs less than Tulle at €3.50 (about $3.91), but it holds 10 GB and 2 databases, half of Tulle's space. A blog or a small shop with images usually outgrows 10 GB first.
Two details change the first invoice. FlokiNET's billing store listed a €5.00 setup fee per order on 2 November 2026; Velumhold adds none, and the price of the term is the full charge, at the first order and at each renewal. Velumhold's top-up starts at $25, so a one-month Tulle leaves credit on the balance for the next month. Renewal costs are explained on why hosting gets dearer at renewal.
Which cryptocurrencies do Velumhold and FlokiNET accept?
FlokiNET accepts more coins than Velumhold: 13 named on its payment page on 13 November 2026, plus "and more", against 7 at Velumhold. Both take Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ether, USDT, USDC and Solana, so most buyers can pay either host with the wallet they already hold.
- Only at FlokiNET: Zcash, Dash, Dogecoin, PIVX, TRON and BNB, at a 0% fee, and non-crypto methods such as bank transfer, Wise, PayPal and Stripe cards.
- At Velumhold: USDT on Tron or Ethereum and USDC on Ethereum, which keep the amount fixed in dollars while the payment confirms.
Velumhold takes crypto and nothing else. The balance has no expiry date and pays any hosting account on it. More on paying in Bitcoin: web hosting with Bitcoin.
When is FlokiNET the better choice?
FlokiNET is the better choice for four kinds of buyer, and Velumhold says so plainly.
- You want a server in Finland. FlokiNET hosts in Helsinki as well as Bucharest, Reykjavik and Amsterdam; Velumhold has no Finnish location.
- You want cPanel. FlokiNET's plans come with cPanel, Softaculous and WP Toolkit; Velumhold uses its own web control panel.
- You pay by bank, card or cash. FlokiNET lists bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe cards and cash by post next to crypto.
- You value a long record. FlokiNET states that it was established in Iceland in 2012. Velumhold does not publish a founding year.
When is Velumhold the better choice?
Velumhold is the better choice when you want more space per dollar and one price wherever the site lives.
- You need 20 GB or more. Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet cost $3.56, $5.35 and $7.14 month to month, against €6.00, €17.50 and €25.00 for FlokiNET's nearest plans.
- You want Reykjavik at the Bucharest price. All 3 Velumhold cities cost the same; FlokiNET charges €1.00 to €5.00 more in Iceland.
- You prefer not to give an email. Velumhold's account number is the login and an email is optional; see web hosting without ID verification.
- You want no setup fee. Velumhold charges the term price and nothing else.
A person creates each account within minutes of the confirmed payment, 1 hour at most, and a move from FlokiNET is free: support copies the site from a backup.
