Heteml is a shared hosting service from GMO Pepabo, aimed at developers and small businesses that want more control than an entry-level plan offers. It runs web, mail, and database on separate SSD-backed servers.

Plans come with unlimited domains, databases, and email accounts, plus free Let’s Encrypt SSL. SSH, Git and Subversion, cron jobs, and PHP, Ruby, and Perl runtimes are all included, which makes it a good fit for developers.

Security covers a Web Application Firewall (WAF), spam and virus filters, and optional F-Secure protection. Automatic backups are a paid add-on. Free phone and ticket support are included, along with help moving sites in from another host.
