📄 Editorial Review

Z (the global brand of GMO Internet Group) targets Asia-Pacific with beginner-friendly, low-cost shared hosting and domain services. As part of a long-standing Japanese Internet conglomerate, they lean on brand trust, scale, and a simple value proposition: get online quickly with cPanel hosting, a free domain on annual plans, and an AI website builder (MiraWEB) that can spin up a site in minutes. Plans highlight WordPress optimization, automated daily backups, SSL, business email options (Titan or Google Workspace), and unmetered bandwidth.

That focus comes with trade-offs. Their hosting catalog in many locales is narrow (shared/cPanel and WordPress hosting; no VPS or dedicated in typical retail flows). Feature allotments are sensible but not "unlimited" across the board (e.g., unlimited websites only on higher tiers). For customers who just need a straightforward website or blog with a recognized brand behind it, they fit well; for complex stacks or granular SLAs, they are less compelling unless you move into regional cloud offerings.
