📄 Editorial Review

goneo Internet GmbH is a German hosting provider established in 2006 and based in Minden, North Rhine-Westphalia. They position as a "pure player" focused entirely on hosting, domains, email and related web services, with all infrastructure located in Germany and subject to German data protection and copyright law. Their main data center is in Frankfurt am Main, close to the DE-CIX internet exchange, which keeps latency low for German and central-European audiences.

The core of the portfolio consists of classic shared web hosting. The four main plans – Webhosting Start, Profi, Premium and Ultra – are built on SSD storage, support PHP 8 and MySQL, and include at least one .de domain plus SSL certificates for every hosted domain. Each package comes with MySQL databases on SSD and is explicitly marketed as suitable for popular CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla or TYPO3. The plans differ mainly in the amount of storage, mail space and number of included .de domains, so customers can grow from a small single-site presence up to multi-site projects or more complex web applications.

Above shared hosting, goneo offers Managed Webserver packages, which are essentially managed virtual servers (vServers) with dedicated resources. Webserver Start, Profi and Premium provide fixed allocations of vCores, RAM and SSD storage (from 3 GB RAM / 2 vCores / 200 GB SSD up to 12 GB RAM / 8 vCores / 800 GB SSD), plus large email storage quotas and SSL for every domain. These servers are fully managed: the operating system, updates and security patches are handled by goneo, so customers get more performance and flexibility than shared hosting without needing deep admin skills.

Domains are treated as a separate product line under goneo.domains, where hundreds of TLDs can be registered. A simple .de domain can be booked very cheaply, and there are options like "Domain Plus" with web and mail forwarding and limited DNS control for users who only need a domain presence without full web hosting. Domains can later be upgraded into hosting or email packages, which fits small businesses that want to start from a basic online identity.

For users who prefer not to deal with CMS installation, goneo provides the easyPage website builder. easyPage 3.0 is a modern homepage-builder with more than 200 templates and granular design options (spacing, layout, etc.) closer to professional design software than a basic "wizard". It is designed to build individual websites without coding skills; content is positioned visually with drag-and-drop. easyPage can be booked as a standalone website-builder tariff or as an add-on to hosting plans.

Email is treated as its own product family. goneo sells email-only plans that include a personal .de domain, DNS editor, and generous mailbox storage, plus Webmail Plus, an advanced webmail environment with multi-language interface, integrated calendar, contacts, and support for CalDAV and CardDAV synchronization across devices. This makes goneo attractive for people who mainly need professional email addresses on their own domain and want a modern groupware-like webmail interface.

A more recent addition is the Chatserver / Instant Messenger Server product line. Here goneo offers self-hosted Matrix-based servers (Basic, Advanced, All-in) aimed at organizations that want encrypted messaging and digital sovereignty without relying on big global platforms. This fits well with their emphasis on hosting in Germany, data protection and self-hosting for independence from hyperscalers.

Overall, goneo comes across as a mid-sized German hoster that focuses on solid, practical packages rather than buzzword-heavy cloud marketing. Shared hosting, managed vServers, domains, website builder, professional email and Matrix chat servers form a coherent portfolio for freelancers, small and medium businesses, clubs and privacy-conscious users who care about hosting "at home" in Germany.
