📄 Editorial Review

GoedkopeWebhoster is a Dutch hosting company that began in 2008, initially operating from a room in the founder's parental home while its creator was still studying. It now serves thousands of private customers and national and international companies. The contractual operator is Host Today B.V., registered in Putten under Chamber of Commerce number 67095402. Service content is in Dutch, with no English-language version, and all prices use euros excluding 21% VAT.

The core shared hosting service is complemented by managed web hosting, application-specific hosting for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OpenCart, and PrestaShop, domain registration, email hosting, SpamExperts filtering, SSL certificates, website design, WordPress maintenance, migration assistance, and paid Service Level Agreements. The application-specific pages rely on the same Starter and Pro allocations, giving customers workload guidance without fragmenting the platform into numerous duplicate products.

Starter Hosting provides 10 GB of SSD storage, three hosted domains, unlimited mailboxes, databases, and traffic, one-click application installation, daily backups, free SSL, and a promotional .nl domain. Pro raises the limits to 50 GB and ten hosted domains and is the appropriate tier for web shops. Both use DirectAdmin with LiteSpeed and Redis caching, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, SSH and SFTP, cron jobs, DNS controls, website statistics, access logs, a web application firewall, malware scanning, and downloadable backups.

Installatron supports more than 300 one-click applications. PHP selection spans version 5.6 and the 7.x and 8.x families, helping older applications move gradually while current software can use a supported branch. WordPress has the most extensive integration: WooCommerce is supported, themes and plug-ins can be used freely, and automatic daily backups are retained for 14 days. Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OpenCart, and PrestaShop run on the same underlying plans.

The separate WordPress maintenance service covers core, plug-in, theme, and security-patch work. Starter runs updates quarterly, Pro monthly, and Extra Large weekly. Every tier adds post-update checks, 24/7 uptime monitoring, security and performance checks, SEO ranking monitoring, and monthly reporting. Major upgrades requiring code changes fall outside routine maintenance and use an hourly rate.

Managed hosting shifts repetitive technical work to the provider while retaining the normal customer dashboard. Managed Starter, Pro, and Extra Large accommodate one, three, and five websites with 10, 25, and 50 GB of SSD storage. The provider configures the environment, maintains the server, applies updates and security measures, operates backups, and monitors availability. Backups remain available for 14 days and can be restored through the dashboard.

Independent email packages include unlimited mailboxes, forwarding, antivirus protection, spam filtering, and either 10 or 50 GB of storage. SpamExperts can filter incoming mail, outgoing mail, or both. In March 2026, GoedkopeWebhoster introduced ten dedicated mail-relay servers with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, reverse DNS, blacklist monitoring, distributed IP addresses, and active throttling toward major mailbox networks such as Microsoft and Google. Operating the relays internally gives the company more control over queue handling and sending reputation.

Website creation combines a custom WordPress build with ongoing hosting, a domain, mobile optimization, feedback rounds, and a defined number of annual revisions. Delivery normally takes two to three weeks. Customers who prefer self-service can use the application installer and website-building facilities included with hosting, while the migration service can transfer an existing WordPress or HTML website together with mailboxes.

The domain catalog contains more than 350 extensions in the main service information and 462 entries in the current ordering system. Registration completes in real time after payment where registry processing permits. Customers retain domain ownership and can control nameservers, DNS records, DNSSEC, forwarding, EPP transfers, and holder changes. Privacy protection is available for a one-time fee, and the support information covers quarantine recovery plus SIDN escalation when a former provider fails to release a .nl transfer code.

The Dutch news and knowledgebase sections remain actively maintained. Their coverage extends through 2026 and includes DirectAdmin, PHP, DNS, security, email delivery, NIS2 verification, infrastructure, pricing, and incident reports. GoedkopeWebhoster acquired Xenat in August 2019. In September 2024, web01 through web06 entered a hardware replacement program together with Imunify360 and a revised backup system.
