📄 Editorial Review

AIGES is a German hosting, infrastructure and IT-services company based in Cologne and operating as AIGES oHG. The business was established in 2005, with its commercial-register entry dating from April 11, 2005. The company has consequently accumulated more than two decades of experience in hosting, domain services, server infrastructure, web development and customized Internet projects. Athanasios Bountos and Jan Zimmerschied are associated with the current management, while the company is registered with the Cologne Local Court under HRA 22818 and VAT ID DE242593530.

AIGES has a broader technical profile than a conventional shared-hosting provider. Its portfolio includes Web Hosting, Domains, Virtual Machines, Physical / Dedicated Servers, Housing / Colocation, SSL Certificates, anti-spam services, E-Mail Marketing, SMS Marketing and E-Commerce, together with web development, programming, server infrastructure, online marketing and web design. Many professional services are built around customized configurations rather than a large catalog of standardized low-cost plans.

Hosting Pro is the main conventional web-hosting service. Entry-level Agency-A packages are suitable for smaller websites and private customers and support the use of a customer's own domain, domain-based email addresses, webmail access and standard email clients such as Outlook and mobile devices. Spam filtering and DynDNS functionality are also available. More advanced Performance hosting adds technical functions such as SSH access, Git and extended backup functionality, making it suitable for developers and business customers requiring more control over their hosting environment.

The server range extends beyond conventional web hosting through Virtual Machines, Physical Servers and Housing / Colocation. Virtual machines provide dedicated server resources without requiring complete physical hardware, while physical systems can be adapted to more demanding workloads. AIGES also works with web, proxy and database server environments and can handle server setup and administration, making the infrastructure services particularly relevant for companies that prefer customized technical assistance instead of a completely self-managed server.

Domain services have a strong local connection with Cologne. AIGES became involved with the .koeln and .cologne domain extensions during their development and later built the Ming Domain brand around these city-specific namespaces. Registration of .koeln and .cologne domains became possible in 2014, and these domains can be combined with hosting and email services.

Security services include SSL Certificates and spam protection. SSL can be integrated with hosted websites to encrypt transferred information, while email filtering helps reduce unwanted and potentially harmful messages. Technical assistance is available for customers that prefer AIGES to handle the configuration.

AIGES also maintains its own E-Mail Marketing platform. The browser-based application supports recipient and recipient-group management, personalized campaigns, HTML, text, MIME and UTF-8 messages, test mailings, SMS distribution, newsletter archives, automated delivery-error processing and detailed statistics. Recipient and mailing data can be exported in CSV format, while multilingual email content is supported. Subscription confirmations, unsubscribe procedures, duplicate-address checking and automated handling of repeatedly undeliverable addresses are also integrated.

The E-Commerce business has a significant focus on JTL software. AIGES became a JTL service partner in 2012 and works with JTL-Shop and JTL-Wawi, including consulting, installation, implementation and related technical work for online stores. This gives the company an additional specialization beyond hosting and server infrastructure, especially for German merchants using the JTL ecosystem.

AIGES primarily targets the German market. The website and customer-facing information are mainly in German, pricing is in EUR, and no complete multi-language localization exists. The website has a relatively traditional and text-heavy design compared with modern automated hosting stores, while server and professional hosting configurations often depend on direct consultation rather than an instant online configurator.
