ColorfulBox is a shared hosting service from Colorful Lab, Inc. that runs in Japan while using tools more familiar to international users. It uses the cPanel control panel, which is rare among Japanese providers.

Plans range from small personal sites to tiers for business workloads, and you can move up or down between plans for free as a site grows. All plans include SSD storage, free custom SSL, a WAF, and automatic backups stored in more than one Japanese region.

ColorfulBox runs on LiteSpeed Web Server, which pairs with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin to speed up WordPress pages.

A free trial lets you try real-site performance before paying.
