📄 Editorial Review

ClausWeb is a well-established Romanian hosting and cloud infrastructure provider operated by Claus Web SRL. The company was founded in Satu Mare on July 7, 2005, by Claudiu Cadar and remains a privately held, founder-led business. Over the years, it has expanded from conventional shared hosting into a broad platform covering domains, managed hosting, cloud servers, dedicated infrastructure, professional email, security, backups, and web development.

The company has approximately 18–20 employees, while its broader corporate profile falls within the 11–50 employee range. Turnover for 2024 was approximately €2.1 million. ClausWeb is an accredited ROTLD partner for .RO domains, an accredited EURid partner for .EU domains, and operates under an ISO/IEC 27001 information-security management framework.

Its domain services include registration, renewal, transfer, ownership transfer, privacy protection, and reseller access. Available extensions include .RO, .EU, .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, .HU, .DE, and .CO.UK. Agencies, hosting companies, and IT service providers can use the dedicated reseller platform and API to automate domain provisioning and customer management.

The entry-level Shared Hosting range works well for personal websites, company presentations, blogs, and smaller online stores. The plans use NVMe storage, unmetered monthly traffic, multiple PHP versions, MariaDB/MySQL databases, email hosting, Softaculous, automatic Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, incremental backups, and malware protection.

The shared platform uses Intel Xeon 6724P processors with 64 cores, 512 GB of DDR5-6400 memory, and eight NVMe drives configured in RAID 10. CloudLinux CageFS isolates individual customer accounts, while LiteSpeed and Nginx improve the delivery of static and dynamic website content.

Security is one of the stronger parts of the shared-hosting platform. Imunify360 malware scanning, CloudLinux account isolation, WAF filtering, brute-force protection, automatic security patching, DDoS mitigation at Layers 3, 4, and 7, free SSL certificates, anti-spam filtering, and daily backups are included across the main hosting range. Backup retention normally consists of seven daily recovery points and three monthly copies.

Premium Hosting provides higher CPU, RAM, process, and storage allocations for business websites that have exceeded the practical limits of ordinary shared hosting but do not yet require a VPS. The larger Premium plans reach 120 GB of NVMe storage and are suitable for demanding WordPress, WooCommerce, and database-driven projects.

The E-commerce Hosting range includes optimized configurations for WordPress and WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, CS-Cart, and Joomla. These packages include more processing capacity and memory than standard shared hosting, making them better suited to stores with larger catalogs, frequent database activity, and higher visitor volumes.

Specialized Apache Tomcat Hosting supports Java applications, while the dedicated Node.js Hosting range accommodates JavaScript-based applications and development environments.

For resource-intensive websites, the Corporate Hosting range operates as semi-dedicated hosting. These packages include significantly larger resource limits, dedicated IP addresses on the applicable plans, priority handling, and a managed hosting environment. They provide a practical middle ground for agencies, busy online stores, portals, and business applications that need greater isolation without requiring the customer to administer an entire server.

The Reseller Hosting portfolio covers small agency accounts through to high-capacity enterprise configurations. Resellers receive WHM, individual cPanel accounts, unmetered traffic, NVMe storage, free SSL certificates, incremental backups, email services, dedicated hardware allocations, and the ability to manage customer domains through separate hosting accounts.

ClausWeb divides its virtual-server services into lower-cost VPS packages and a larger Cloud VPS platform. The regular VPS range begins with compact KVM configurations and scales to servers suitable for business applications, development environments, databases, and web services. The plans include enterprise NVMe SAN storage, unmetered monthly traffic, dedicated IP addresses, and network ports of up to 1 Gbps.

The main Cloud VPS range operates as a high-availability cluster using Intel Xeon Gold 6444Y processors, DDR5 memory, NVMe PCIe Gen4 storage, and configurations reaching 192 GB RAM, 40 vCPU cores, and 3 TB of storage. This platform can handle conventional virtual machines, application servers, SaaS and PaaS workloads, disaster-recovery systems, databases, and high-traffic e-commerce projects.

Application-oriented cloud ranges simplify server selection for customers running WordPress, Magento, PrestaShop, Windows, file-storage, and mail-server workloads. Promotional cloud configurations are also available. Software installation, server administration, backup storage, and commercial licenses may need to be added separately, so the final configuration cost can be higher than the basic server price.

The Cloud Mail packages provide private infrastructure for business mail systems. These are server-resource packages rather than fully configured email platforms, and mail-server installation, administration, security configuration, and software licenses may require additional services.

The Dedicated Server range is designed for customers that require exclusive physical resources. Available configurations use SSD or NVMe-oriented storage and can be combined with server management, cPanel, CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, security software, backup capacity, operating-system installation, and infrastructure monitoring.

Additional services include web design, dedicated IP addresses, managed DNS, reverse DNS, domain privacy, SSL certificates, SMTP clusters, professional anti-spam filtering, enterprise email, server administration, WordPress maintenance, external backup storage, malware removal, WordPress optimization, LiteSpeed licensing, CloudLinux licensing, security software, audio and video streaming, and DDoS protection.

A managed integration with Cloudflare is available for CDN acceleration, DNS proxying, IPv4 and IPv6 mediation, bandwidth reduction, and additional attack mitigation.

WordPress customers can order one-time security, optimization, and malware-removal services. These packages include a 90-day warranty when the required plugins, updates, passwords, themes, and operating conditions remain unchanged.

A seven-day hosting test is available. Standard hosting accounts are normally activated automatically within approximately five minutes after payment confirmation. Server and streaming services can take around 15 minutes when the selected resources are immediately available.

The website is responsive and contains extensive technical and commercial information. Its catalog is dense, however, and some secondary service sections use older terminology or license references. Customers ordering specialist software, email platforms, managed server services, or commercial licenses should confirm the precise version and included work before payment.

The website is primarily available in Romanian and does not provide a complete English-language storefront. Romanian and English are accepted for formal abuse-related communication. Product prices are denominated in EUR.
