*📜 Plan description

Email plan with 1 mailbox and 1 GB storage per mailbox. SSL is available for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP, and Roundcube webmail provides browser-based access. Additional storage can be added at 6.00 EUR per year for each extra GB. This is a simple mailbox for personal or small business communications where a single address is sufficient. Using standard protocols ensures compatibility with desktop and mobile email clients, and the webmail option offers quick login for travel or shared devices. The plan is billed annually and can be expanded by adding storage as needs grow.

All email products in this section focus on straightforward operation with standard protocols, spam protection features where applicable, and options that fit different inbox models—individual mailbox, catch-all routing, or list distribution—so organizations can match their preferred workflow.

📄 Editorial Review

Active since 2006 and developed/operated in Germany, hosting.de positions itself as an API-first, engineering-driven provider that tries to remove "admin stress" so customers can focus on projects and teams. They emphasize fairness (solutions rather than one-size products), tight feedback loops with users, and close ties to the web-dev scene. Since 2022 they have been part of Namespace Group, and recent milestones include a 100 Gbps network expansion (2019), a new platform rollout (2021), and a move to a new data center for higher capacities (2023). The stack is built in-house (C++/Qt), with a three-stage validation pipeline that feeds requests from interface/API into services for consistent data quality.
Domains, DNS & Email
They are a German ICANN-accredited registrar (via a sister-company http.net acquisition in 2013) and run own DNS with an API, SSL, and email suites. Email offers Roundcube webmail, POP/IMAP/SMTP over SSL, spam/virus filters, auto-replies, and mailbox bundles (10/20/50). DNS/SSL integrate tightly with the platform (including a central key server to protect certificate keys from MITM on single servers).
Shared & CMS Hosting

Shared hosting is tuned for speed and reliability with SSD/NVMe, nginx/Apache combinations, one-click app installs, and optimized application profiles (WordPress, TYPO3, Moodle, Joomla). They support load sharing across multiple web/SQL servers and will co-design stacks with nginx, Memcached, Redis, Galera, Cassandra for predictable SLAs and shorter response times.
WordPress & Joomla / CMS

Preconfigured profiles and one-click installers reduce setup friction, while the platform’s API and profiles help developers align PHP/web-server configs to the CMS. Daily backups and GDPR-aligned operations in Germany address compliance and rollback needs.
Servers: VPS & Managed Server / Private Cloud

For demanding projects, they provide KVM-based virtual servers with 60-second provisioning, NVMe storage, daily snapshot backups, full root access, and developer tools. A private cloud option lets customers design kernels, licenses, and VPNs, while hosting.de provides VLAN/DMZ isolation and fixed hardware resources for performance stability. Managed Server and eCommerce Server variants add hands-on operation where needed.
Managed Nextcloud

They run ISO 27001-certified, GDPR-compliant Nextcloud hosting exclusively in German data centers, with update policies tested before deployment and dedicated resources (AMD EPYC/Intel Xeon). Instances can align to brand, scale to ~200 users, and include regular backups—aimed at teams that want German hosting with strong data-sovereignty posture.
Platform, Security & Sustainability

They combine Apache with an nginx proxy where that performs better, and store SSL keys on a central key server reachable only via internal LAN to reduce attack surface. The platform’s test-driven development and staged bug-fixing (compiler checks, code reviews, unit tests) back their quality narrative. They highlight 100% renewable energy for at least the Aachen site and stress Germany-only infrastructure for data protection.
