Two product families sold on one page

Louhi is a Finnish hosting provider. Its WordPress page, consulted on 10 November 2026, presents Webhotelli Teho, Vauhti and Huippu alongside Sovellushotelli Normi, Plussa and Priima. The two families have different quotas. Record the full product name on the proposal before comparing database counts, working copies and maintenance options.

Teho, Vauhti and Huippu list 10, 20 and 40 GB of storage. Teho states three databases and 120 GB of monthly traffic. Vauhti and Huippu show traffic and databases without numerical caps on their cards. Email is also part of the presentation. To size an account, measure files, databases, email, logs and archives. A working copy often adds several of these components.

For an online store, also record imports, periodic processing and dynamic calls during checkout. The presence of LiteSpeed indicates platform tools. Processing and concurrency limits depend on the plan and must be confirmed for the most heavily used functions.

Sovellushotelli, testing space and maintenance

The Normi, Plussa and Priima cards advertise 10, 20 and 40 GB of disk space, with two, three and four WordPress installations and the same number of databases. Normi lists 120 GB of monthly traffic. Plussa and Priima advertise traffic without a numerical cap on their cards. Additional installations can serve as test copies. If two sites already occupy Normi’s two databases, plan another testing destination or a higher tier. Also measure volume after duplicating media. Daily visitor figures position the range but cannot predict the load of a cart, internal search or member area.

Louhi associates these cards with an UpCloud platform. Ask for the site and backup regions if your client’s contract includes a location requirement. The three shared plans exclude Multisite. Sovelluskartano provides a dedicated server and states that Multisite is supported. The same page shows 199 € per month before tax in one card and a starting price of 119 € before tax farther down. These two displays do not establish the applicable price: request a quote for the selected configuration. For an existing network, first record whether sites use subdomains, paths or custom domains. Also give the provider the number of active sites, their storage and email dependencies so the quote’s scope is usable.

WP Täyshoito is displayed at 54.90 € per month before tax. The profile states monthly WordPress, plugin and theme updates, a pre-intervention copy retained for thirty days and a monthly report. It advertises continuous monitoring, with response on weekdays from 8 to 18. For a site making most sales on weekends, ask who handles incidents outside that window. Also plan who intervenes for an urgent update between scheduled visits and who validates business functions afterward. Louhi offers maintenance options separately. Check whether the quote already includes the platform and which items are actually additional.

The maintenance catalog also lists Perus at 11.28 € per month before tax and Laaja at 22.67 €. Both provide monthly updates and a pre-intervention copy retained for thirty days. Laaja adds a manual functional check during the update and a monthly report. Its description limits this check to components that do not require login. Verify whether the check covers your site’s cart, forms or restricted areas. For a store, assign someone to check these functions after intervention.

In a proposal, request a line for the server and one for the application service when they are separate. Specify how an incident between scheduled interventions is handled, then note who decides on a rollback and which recovery point it uses. The maintenance report can help link a change to an incident if the team keeps the date and scope of the update.

Calculate the first cycle and ongoing cost

On 10 November, Teho, Vauhti and Huippu display 11.75 €, 14.75 € and 22.50 € before tax per equivalent month for the first cycle. Reference rates are 23.50 €, 29.50 € and 45 € before tax. For Normi, Plussa and Priima, the pairs are 9.45 € then 18.90 €, 14.45 € then 28.90 €, and 22.45 € then 44.90 € before tax. The half-price discount concerns the first cycle of an eligible new order. Upgrades are excluded in the offer text.

The page publishes an annual example of 141 € before tax for Teho’s first cycle and 282 € before tax at the normal rate. Over the same duration, Normi represents approximately 113.40 € then 226.80 € before tax by multiplying its monthly equivalents. The period actually billed must appear on the quote. For a French organization, check eligibility, applicable VAT, first invoice amount and renewal date.

The page still displays a bundled campaign dated 24 November to 2 December 2025. It included free migration and a maintenance period. This campaign has expired: do not include these benefits in a new order without written confirmation. The consulted WordPress price list shows 79 € before tax per site for transfer. Price this intervention, the domain and required options separately. JetBackup displays 8.90 € per month before tax, or 106.80 € before tax over twelve months at a constant rate.

For an annual Teho account with JetBackup added for the entire year, the amounts provide a benchmark of 247.80 € before tax in the first year and 388.80 € before tax at the next reference rate. This example excludes the domain, migration and taxes. Check the option’s cycle and coverage of items to restore before adopting this budget.

Install WordPress and prepare a protected copy

The Louhi guide distinguishes the client console from cPanel. The former handles contracts, invoices and domains among other things. In cPanel, locate Software then Installatron in the documented workflow. Open WordPress, start installation and verify the suggested domain. To publish at the root, leave the directory empty if the screen shows that field. A subdirectory installation must instead retain an explicit path. Enter an administrative address you control and a site-specific username. Enable HTTPS after the certificate is issued and open the homepage and dashboard at the chosen address. If the domain already holds a site, prepare a separate empty target. Keep the existing folder and database available before making changes.

For a test copy, check available database count, free space and account features. Louhi documents store cloning with WP Toolkit Deluxe on its WooCommerce offer. This page does not establish licensing for every plan. If your cPanel offers Clone in WordPress Toolkit, choose the source site, then a subdomain and database dedicated to testing. Otherwise, copy the files and import an SQL export into a new database, then adjust credentials in wp-config.php. To replace internal URLs, use a tool compatible with WordPress serialized values and check its results on the copy before use.

Protect the destination with authentication before making it reachable. On a store, disable outgoing email, live payment keys, order reminders, webhooks and stock synchronization tasks. Check that an anonymous visitor encounters access protection, then that an authorized member can open pages, media and administration without redirection to production. Compare a cart and product page in test mode. If it fails, keep the public site and remove only the copy after checking its folder and database. A copy that has fallen behind on orders must not replace the sales database when going live.

Recover data without overwriting valid data

The Webhotelli FAQ advertises seven days of backups and directs customers to support to check whether an item can be restored. The JetBackup presentation distinguishes infrastructure backups intended for server incidents from individual recoveries ordered from the provider, advertised as always chargeable and without a recovery guarantee. Ask for the usable recovery point and cost before making this your recovery method.

JetBackup is presented as an account option. The provider advertises fourteen days of automatic copies, three manual backups and dedicated backup storage. Täyshoito advertises a copy before covered updates, retained for thirty days. These durations concern separate mechanisms. Check the frequency and scope required for your site and email.

If JetBackup is enabled, open its section in cPanel and choose the content type, then a point before the error. For deleted media, identify its path in the WordPress uploads folder. Check whether you can recover the file or folder without returning the entire site to an older state. Before a broader restoration, retain current files and the database and prepare an isolated destination.

On a store, identify orders recorded after the chosen recovery point. Verify consistency between files, data and plugin version before bringing the service back online. Check a public page, the dashboard and the affected operation. If restoration is incomplete, reuse the export prepared before intervention and recover more recent operations separately. Keep an archive independent of the account.

Self-managed migration or transfer service

The WordPress service listed at 79 € before tax covers moving and checking the site according to the profile. Louhi states that it requests FTP, MySQL and administrator access. Prepare dedicated temporary access where your old host permits it. Define who transfers email, adjusts DNS and keeps backups. The site and mailboxes are separate services. For a membership site or store, ask how writes made after the initial copy are recovered and agree on a short freeze window if the migration plan requires one.

With access to the source site, export files and the database at the same time. In cPanel, use MySQL Databases to create the target and grant permissions to a dedicated user. Upload files to the destination root, import SQL through phpMyAdmin if its size permits, then enter the new connection settings in wp-config.php. Test the PHP version and required extensions. For a large import, ask about the plan’s upload limit and SSH options before starting. A private copy with the real domain resolved locally lets you test links without publishing the new address. Restore normal resolution on the test workstation afterward. For a preview using another address, also check absolute resources and the URL replacement method.

Before switching, retain the original DNS zone and a copy of MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. If email stays elsewhere, change only the entries needed for the web. Check the certificate, redirects and new origin from two connections. After the switch, verify at least the homepage, a deep URL, an image, administration and a business function. To return to the original server, restore the recorded web values and monitor DNS caches. If the new database has already received orders or forms, retrieve those writes before reopening. Keep the old hosting while traffic stabilizes and data is reconciled.

Support, AI features and leaving the service

The profiles are mainly in Finnish, with introductions in English. The cPanel guide shows a language selector. General support is advertised on weekdays from 8 to 18, excluding Finnish public holidays. Infrastructure monitoring extends beyond these hours. Check human availability in English or French and the intervention scope for your plan. In a request, specify the service ID, domain, time, exact message and affected action.

Louhi publishes a guide to connecting WordPress to AI services. It distinguishes WordPress’s technical interface, the plugin providing the visible feature and the connected model service. The consulted grid establishes no content generator, license or credits included with hosting. The documented Installatron and WP Toolkit features concern installation management. If you add an assistant, determine what data it receives, which costs recur and how content can be recovered after removing the tool.

Before closure, retrieve files, the database, email, aliases, scheduled tasks and DNS settings. Verify recovery at the destination. Depending on the domain extension, the FAQ describes requesting the code through Verkkotunnukset then Tilaa välittäjän vaihtoavain. In Louhi Konsoli, the cancellation guide specifies Palvelut, the contract number and then Irtisano sopimus. To remove only one service from a bundled contract, contact customer service. Keep confirmation of the date and check which services remain active. Recovery must be complete before closure, because the guide states that reactivation may be impossible.
