📄 Editorial Review

1blu is a long-standing German hosting provider founded in 2005 by CEO Johann Dasch. They report over 300,000 customer contracts and operate alongside related brands such as Evanzo, Greatnet.de, Pro.vider.de, and NetService24, covering needs from entry-level sites to tailored business infrastructure. Their portfolio spans shared hosting, a website builder, VPS and virtual dedicated servers, dedicated and managed servers, domain registration, SSL certificates, and cloud storage.

For individuals and small businesses, the Homepage (shared) packages emphasize ease and security: one-click apps, PHP 8, HTTP/2, SSD databases, free Let’s Encrypt SSL for all domains (including external), daily multi-backups, and even a GDPR-compliant web-conferencing solution (BigBlueButton) hosted in Germany. The Performance packages add NVMe SSD storage, "Backup on Demand," and security features like FileWatch and FileDetection.
For growing projects, Managed Hosting/Managed Server plans provide a private virtual server environment with guaranteed resources while 1blu handles updates, patches, monitoring, and backups. Customers manage email, domains, FTP, and databases via the same friendly control area used for shared hosting.

Developers and administrators can opt for VPS Linux and RootServer lines built on KVM, with up to 16 vCores (VPS) or up to 10 vCores and 96 GB RAM (RootServer), VNC remote console, own ISO images, and a wide OS catalog (Ubuntu 22.04; Debian 11/12; AlmaLinux 8/9; Rocky Linux 8). StorageServer targets data-heavy use with up to 10 TB and optional Nextcloud. Dedicated Servers use branded hardware, include 24/7 expert support options, and can be customized for business workloads.

Beyond hosting, 1blu offers a web builder (now with AI text generation and "Create with AI"), 1blu Drive online storage with WebDAV mounting, multi-user access and sharing links, domain packages at sharp pricing, and SSL certificates for encrypted logins and sites. For resellers and companies needing custom solutions, 1blu business GmbH supports professional domain services plus customized hosting and housing.

1blu AG operates 1blu-business.de as a dedicated platform for business and partner-oriented offers rather than for end users. However, the website has not been significantly updated since August 2021 and still references "300,000 managed domains." This outdated figure may suggest either a stagnant customer base or a lack of focus on keeping public information current.

The company provides a comprehensive portfolio of hosting solutions, covering nearly all major categories except colocation. However, the absence of 24/7 customer support and the availability of only a limited range of payment methods represent notable drawbacks for a provider of its scale.
