*📜 Plan description

📄 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.
