*📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

aixzellent (Germany) presents itself as a manufactory for intelligent IT solutions—a consultancy-first host that builds to order rather than pushing one-size-fits-all plans. Their pitch centers on managed delivery for SMEs: personal scoping, custom configurations, and ongoing care so clients don’t have to run the stack themselves. The tone is decidedly hands-on: tell them what the business needs, and they assemble, secure, and maintain it.

Positioning & Philosophy

They lean on an interdisciplinary team (engineering, computer science, telecoms, electrical engineering) and the motto "nothing is impossible." The service model is deliberately personal—direct contact, fair pricing, and a preference for crafting solutions jointly. Originating from the Theis Consult engineering office (founded 1991), they’ve evolved into a full-service provider with a network of subject-matter experts. The brand name blends "exzellent" with "Aix" (Aachen), setting a quality bar they openly adopt as their daily target.

Sustainability & Hosting Location

Environmental responsibility is woven into operations. They aim to minimize CO₂ by encouraging low-impact commuting, video meetings, and careful hardware choices. Servers are hosted exclusively in Germany with a strong nod to sustainability—Hetzner facilities powered by 100% renewable hydropower. Wherever possible, they favor reusing enterprise hardware to avoid the footprint of new manufacturing, and they state their own office electricity comes from green sources.

Core Hosting Stack

For small and midsize sites, they offer web hosting aligned to LAMP, Ruby on Rails, or static HTML. Security is emphasized: data remains in German data centers and traffic is secured via SSL. A key promise is painless upgrade paths—moving from entry-level to larger managed packages is intended to be quick and straightforward.

Web Hosting Starter (from *€10.71/month**)

• 1 self-administered website
• 50 GB storage + 5 GB separate backup space
• Unlimited transfer volume
• 1 SSL certificate¹
• 1 domain²

This is a clean entry for SMEs wanting a simple, compliant presence without cobbling together add-ons.

Premium Managed Cloud & Applications

"Premium" denotes isolated resources in a German data center with managed operation and monitoring. The catalog reads like a toolkit for modern collaboration:

• Groupware: Kopano
• Team chat: Mattermost, Riot, Zulip
• Meetings: Jitsi / Videobridge; BigBlueButton and other options on demand
• Private cloud & e-learning: Nextcloud (plus BigBlueButton as needed), Alfresco
• Application hosting: Confluence (Atlassian), GitLab, Redmine
• CMS: Joomla!, WordPress, and in-house aixCMS
• VPN: aixVPN

Included with premium (typical baseline):

• 4-core CPU, 8 GB RAM
• 300 GB HDD or 100 GB SSD
• Separate backup storage¹
• SSL³ and 1 domain⁴
• Transfer volume²

The appeal is simple: familiar open-source platforms, professionally provisioned and kept healthy by automated monitoring with human oversight.

Management & Operations

These are fully managed offerings rather than self-serve VPS slices. They highlight automated provisioning, continuous monitoring, and proactive upkeep—updates, security hardening, and performance tuning—so SMEs can skip server care and focus on the application layer. They underline 24×7×365 supervision and daily/nightly backups with encrypted transfers.

Security & Data Protection

All services are hosted in Germany, backed up regularly, and encrypted in transit. The data-sovereignty stance is clear: customers who require German/EU hosting for compliance will find that box ticked. While individual hardening details aren’t itemized here, the curated app list and managed posture suggest standard best practices on patching and isolation.

Recent Notes

They actively communicate updates—support for European initiatives like EuroStack, guidance around private clouds for compliance/control, and even an office move in 2025, which signals an organization that still iterates on its footprint and direction.

Pricing & Value

Pricing is transparent at the entry tier (*€10.71/month for Starter) and from €29.70*–€34.51*** for many premium components, with "on demand" for heavier video-conferencing or e-learning stacks. The value story is strong for SMEs that would otherwise spend time integrating, securing, and maintaining these platforms in-house.

Guarantees

• Uptime guarantee: not explicitly stated.
• Money-back guarantee: not mentioned.

If contractual SLAs or refund terms are essential, they should be requested as part of the proposal.
