📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

ESTUGO is an independent German web hosting provider founded in 2004 and operated by Alexander Mehner as an owner-managed business. The company is based in Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and serves more than 5,000 customers. Its strongest specialization is hosting for German online stores, where customers receive direct technical assistance from experienced server administrators rather than a general outsourced call center.

The product range includes Web Hosting, Shop Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WooCommerce Hosting, Gambio Hosting, JTL Shop Hosting, Shopware Hosting, Root vServers, Managed vServers, Domains, SSL Certificates, Hosted Exchange, Email Hosting, Cloudshop Domains, and a professional Spam Filter.

Regular Web Hosting starts with the Web XXS package at €3.99 per month. This entry package includes 1 GB of storage, one .de domain, flat-rate traffic, one SSD database, 20 mailboxes, free Let’s Encrypt SSL, and assistance with software installation. Larger packages increase the available storage, databases, mailboxes, processing capacity, domains, cron jobs, and other account limits. Higher plans also include commercial PositiveSSL certificates and WordPress Toolkit functionality.

The shared hosting packages use clear resource allocations for CPU capacity, RAM, I/O performance, databases, mailboxes, entry processes, and storage. This approach makes it easier to choose an appropriate plan for a small company website, a demanding WordPress installation, or an online shop with heavier database activity.

Shop Hosting is the main strength of ESTUGO. The company maintains separate hosting environments for Gambio, JTL Shop, Shopware, WooCommerce, and other PHP/MySQL-based shopping systems. Gambio packages include installation and migration assistance, while JTL Shop hosting receives suitable PHP and database resources. Shopware packages extend into higher-capacity Professional configurations, and WooCommerce hosting combines WordPress optimization with WordPress Toolkit management.

The shop packages include SSD storage, flat-rate traffic, current PHP versions, MariaDB databases, free SSL certificates, email hosting, Imunify360 protection, daily backups, and technical support. Most shared and shop hosting contracts use a one-month minimum term, which gives merchants more flexibility than a typical annual hosting contract.

Entry-level shop hosting begins at approximately €7.99 per month, while the Shop S package costs €9.99 per month. Larger configurations extend to approximately €15–€40 per month, depending on storage, CPU, memory, I/O performance, database limits, and the selected shopping platform. Installation and migration assistance for supported systems are included with qualifying packages.

The Root vServer range is designed for customers with Linux administration experience. Root SSD L includes 200 GB of SSD storage, four 2.5 GHz CPU cores, 6 GB of RAM, flat-rate traffic, a dedicated IP address, snapshot functionality, backup space, and Plesk WebHost Edition. Root customers control the complete operating system and remain responsible for software updates, firewall rules, security, monitoring, and application administration.

The Managed vServer range combines isolated server resources with operating-system administration, managed firewall protection, 24/7 monitoring, backups, and technical maintenance. These packages are particularly suitable for online stores and business applications that need dedicated resources without requiring the customer to employ a Linux administrator.

Cloudshop Domain packages connect a professional domain and email service to hosted commerce platforms such as Shopify, Wix, Jimdo, Gambio Cloud, and similar website builders. The entry package costs €1.99 per month and includes a .de domain, 5 GB of email storage, two mailboxes, webmail, autoresponders, and flat-rate traffic.

The email portfolio also includes Hosted Exchange, providing synchronized email, calendars, contacts, tasks, web access, and optional GoBD-compliant archiving. Hosted Exchange begins at €6.99 per mailbox per month. Larger configurations add ActiveSync, increased mailbox storage, advanced filtering, and long-term email archiving.

Domain registration covers German, European, international, and specialized extensions. Representative yearly prices include €6.99 for .de, €14.99 for .eu, €17.99 for .com, and €53 for .shop. Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates are included free of charge, while a supported PositiveSSL certificate costs €30 per year with a €20 initial setup fee.

A professional domain-wide Spam Filter is available for €49.99 per year. It protects every email address attached to the selected domain and filters spam, viruses, phishing attempts, malware, and ransomware. Customers receive access to a dedicated quarantine and filtering interface where blocked messages and filtering rules can be managed.

The hosting platform, customer documentation, contract information, and support resources are primarily available in German. Formal contact can also be handled in English. Prices are displayed in EUR and include German 19% VAT.

The website has a modern responsive layout that works well on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices. Products are divided into clear categories, and the individual package specifications are detailed enough to compare resource limits without relying on vague unlimited-resource claims.
