InterVision.co.il review

First impression

Intervision is an Israeli-based web hosting services provider that was founded by Itzik Nosetzky in the year 2000. They are made up of 65 highly experienced hosting professionals and offer services such as shared hosting, VPS hosting, domain registrations, VMWare cloud computing, and SSL certificates. Currently, their ever-growing customer base consists of over 40,000 websites, with clients based around the globe.

Trial Period

They don't boldly advertise it, but on their "Web Hosting" tab they advertise a free 6-month trial available for new customers. This "6-month free trial" on shared hosting is exactly that—a full half-year of service with no payment required upfront. But here’s the fine print: you’ll need to provide credit card details upfront (though they won’t charge you during the trial), and the offer excludes domain registrations and premium add-ons. When the trial ends, your plan auto-converts to a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel. The trial gives full access to all shared hosting features, including SSD storage and their custom control panel, making it a legitimate way to test their infrastructure risk-free. They also have a money-back guarantee of 30 days in place on both their shared hosting and VPS plans. If you are unhappy within that initial period, simply cancel your plan for a full refund!

Billing Cycle

InterVision gives shared hosting users plenty of payment options. You can either go month-to-month for flexibility, quarterly to smooth out cash flow or commit semi-annually or annually for the best rates. But if you upgrade to VPS, they tighten the leash with its strictly monthly billing, and no long-term discounts. 

They currently accept all major credit cards, as well as PayPal for payments.

Control Panel

Their shared hosting plans come with cPanel, the much-loved, and industry-favorite control panel. But with regards to their VPS plans, InterVision skips cPanel and rolls with Virtuozzo instead—a control panel built specifically for virtual servers. Think of it as a mechanic’s dashboard for your VPS: it handles all the gritty stuff (creating containers, allocating CPU/RAM, managing storage snapshots) through a clean interface that won’t make your eyes glaze over. Unlike cPanel’s website-focused approach, Virtuozzo excels at infrastructure tweaks—like resizing resources on the fly or cloning entire server setups in minutes. It’s not as beginner-friendly, but for developers who need to fine-tune every byte, it’s gold.

Limits

Their shared hosting plans are available in three options, namely the Compact, the Mini, and the Starter - all probably suited only for absolute beginner websites. The Compact plan comes with 200MB disc space, 10GB bandwidth, no databases, and a single POP/IMAP email account - barely suited for a single HTML webpage as the space provided is extremely limited. Next up is the Mini plan which comes with 500MB storage space, 20GB bandwidth, 1 MySQL database, and 5 POP/IMAP email accounts, and lastly they offer the Starter plans that features 1GB disc space, 30GB bandwidth, 2 MySQL databases and 5 POP/IMAP email accounts. With the poorly specced plans, one gets the impression they prefer to have their clients on VPS solutions rather than shared hosting.

As for their VPS plans, these come with decent specifications and are available in four options that range from 1 Core CPU, 2GB RAM, 20GB super-fast SSD storage, and 5TB traffic on the VPS basic plan, up to 4 Core CPUs, 4GB RAM, 100GB SSD disc space, and 5TB traffic on the VPS Premium plan. All plans come standard with SSH access, 24/7 server monitoring, Free SSL certificates for the first year, and unlimited POP/IMAP email accounts.

Website Builder

InterVision skips the fluff of proprietary website builders and instead gives you one-click installs for WordPress and Joomla—two heavyweight CMS platforms that actually grow with your site. WordPress is the go-to for bloggers and small businesses, offering thousands of themes and plugins to build anything from a portfolio to an online store without coding. Joomla’s slightly more technical but shines for complex sites needing custom content structures. Both beat cookie-cutter builders by giving you full control—just pick a template, tweak it with intuitive editors, and publish.

Security

InterVision locks things down with free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates that come with all their plans, automated DDoS filtering (blocks 99% of junk traffic before it hits your site), and nightly automated malware scans that quarantine sketchy files automatically. Their shared hosting accounts get isolated containers so one compromised site can’t infect others, while VPS users can tack on Cloudflare Enterprise for extra firewall rules. They also run weekly off-site backups (stored for 30 days) with one-click restore. Decent security measures in my opinion. I did however notice that there's no built-in WAF on base plans, but their support will help you set one up.

OS

InterVision keeps it simple with its operating system choices. Their shared hosting plans come standard with CentOS for Linux-based plans, or Windows Server 2012 for Windows-based options. On VPS plans users get to pick between CentOS 7/8, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04, Debian 10/11, or AlmaLinux 8, while Windows plans offer Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022. These do however require a paid license (about ₪50-80/month extra). 

Support

If users get stuck they can reach out to the InterVision support agents via email, phone, or support tickets 24 hours a day. But with all things going for them, support I feel isn't one of them, and an area that lets them down a bit. The tickets I logged only got answered after two days - this might just be an isolated incident though.

Conclusion

InterVision could be a good hosting option if you're a developer or tech-savvy business owner who values raw performance over hand-holding. Their Virtuozzo-powered VPS plans and uncapped resources make them ideal for scaling complex projects, and that 6-month trial on their shared hosting is legitimately generous. But their shared hosting plans are very poorly specced, come with very little space, and their support is average, to say the least. If you are in the market for a new provider, maybe shop around a bit first.
