📄 Editorial Review

ADW Europe SL (ADW.es) is a long-established Spanish hosting and infrastructure provider with a clear focus on business-grade hosting, servers and cloud platforms rather than ultra-cheap mass hosting. The company has been active since 1996, originally under the WebStudio brand, and remains privately owned. They run their own infrastructure with more than 1,600 servers spread across two data centers in Spain, plus a dedicated NOC and offices in the Basque Country.

The hosting portfolio is broad but consistent. For classic websites there is a line of Linux shared hosting ("Hosting Web") with four plans – SIMPLE, AVANZADO, WEB+ and EMPRESA. All are hosted in Spanish data centers and built around Plesk Obsidian, SSD storage, unlimited traffic, Let’s Encrypt SSL and BitNinja security as standard. Capacity scales from about 5 GB SSD and 10 email accounts for a single domain on the entry plan up to 30 GB SSD, 40 mailboxes and 5 domains on the EMPRESA tier, so these shared plans fit personal sites, small businesses and small agencies that want something sturdier than budget hosting.

Above that sits a strong reseller hosting line designed for agencies and web professionals who manage multiple clients. The ENTRY, NEXT and ULTIMATE reseller packages run on Plesk, allow unlimited domains, offer SSD storage from roughly 50 GB up to 150 GB, traffic from 500 GB to 1 TB, weekly backups and BitNinja protection, with dedicated resource allocations that reach up to 3 CPU cores and 3 GB RAM on the top tier. These plans comfortably host dozens of sites with predictable performance.

The real backbone of the platform is its server and cloud portfolio. ADW maintains several lines of VPS:

• VPS SSD Profesional – entry and mid-range VPS with SSD disks, "best-effort" CPU and RAM, unmetered monthly traffic, and weekly or daily backups handled by the provider at no extra cost.
• VPS NVMe Premium – higher-end VPS on NVMe datacenter-grade disks with resources guaranteed at 100%, unmetered traffic and the option to scale up to 16 vCores, 128 GB RAM and 1 TB NVMe on the FLEX configuration.
• VPS Administrado – management packs that can be added to any VPS, in three levels (Estándar, Express, Premium) with proactive monitoring, backup management, panel updates, security hardening and strict support SLAs, including response times down to immediate with an out-of-hours emergency mobile contact on the Premium tier.

For customers that outgrow VPS, ADW offers dedicated servers built on Supermicro datacenter hardware with SSD and NVMe options, 100 Mbps unmetered connectivity (upgradable to 1 Gbps), remote IPMI/KVM and clear SLAs: connectivity above 99.5% and electrical power at 99.99% for servers with redundant PSUs. Dedicated models range from single-CPU Xeon E3 systems with 32 GB RAM and dual SSDs up to larger multi-core platforms with 128–192 GB RAM and large SSD/SATA combinations, oriented toward heavy databases, virtualization clusters or storage-intensive workloads.

On the cloud side, the Public Cloud sits on ADW’s fourth-generation infrastructure, fully renewed around 2020, with triple-replicated distributed storage over a 4×10 GbE internal network and a hardware SLA of 99.99%. It is clearly aimed at "serious projects" and critical environments, offering Linux, FreeBSD and Windows images plus extras such as managed backups, migrations, load-balanced clusters and full system administration. For migrations from other providers, there is even an incentive of three months of free service on annual billing, which is appealing for established projects that want to move without double-paying.

Beyond pure hosting, ADW also provides private mail servers, anti-spam relays, backup relays, VPN, SSL certificates, ownCloud-based storage, and security audits, along with professional services like system administration, high-availability cluster design and disaster-recovery planning. Combined with ENS certification and ISO 9001 / ISO 27001 for quality and information security management, the overall platform is aimed squarely at SMEs, agencies and corporate clients who care about compliance, continuity and having a direct line to engineers instead of a generic call center.
