*📜 Plan description
Cloud hosting from KPN delivers flexible server capacity for organizations that need secure, always available infrastructure for business-critical applications and information. The service is built for workloads that need reliable hosting, operational management, continuity, security, and Dutch datacenter delivery. It is suitable for applications that cannot yet move fully to a public cloud model, while still requiring a modern managed platform with controlled updates, preventive checks, and supplier patches. KPN manages the operating system, keeps systems current, performs preventive controls, and installs the necessary updates and patches. Capacity is cost-efficient because it is paid for only when it is used.
The service offers three cloud hosting service levels. Standaard is the level for organizations that need guarantees around availability, failover capability, and security for business-critical applications and information. It fits managed cloud hosting use cases where important systems need to remain reachable, protected, controlled, and hosted in Dutch datacenters. Mission Critical adds stricter requirements for data security and a very fast failover time to another KPN datacenter. It is suitable for workloads where interruption has direct operational impact and where stronger continuity is required. Dedicated is the high-quality option for organizations that want the Mission Critical level of hosting on physically separated servers. It fits sensitive applications, regulated information, and workloads that need stronger isolation while still benefiting from KPN management, datacenter continuity, and secure operational care.
KPN cloud hosting also connects to specific datacenter solutions. KPN Werkplek supports secure access to the organization's own working environment from locations such as an internet cafe, a smartphone or tablet on the train, or a business laptop at the office. It works as a one-stop-shop around the digital workplace, giving employees safe access to their work environment from almost anywhere. SAP Hosting supports organizations running SAP applications that need better business performance, reliable information availability, and lower costs. It is suitable for SAP systems that support core processes and need a dependable managed environment with secure capacity and operational control.
The overall platform focuses on cost efficiency, continuity, and security. Cost efficiency comes from paying only for what is used. Continuity is supported through automatic failover to other KPN datacenters during calamities. Security is based on hosting from 100% Dutch datacenters, managed operating systems, up-to-date systems, preventive checks, and a structure suitable for business applications and information that need proven, secure operation. The solution is aimed at large organizations that need flexible server capacity, multiple service levels, Dutch datacenter hosting, managed operational tasks, and reliable continuity options under one cloud hosting approach.
📄 Editorial Review
KPN is one of the most established technology and telecommunications companies in the Netherlands, with roots going back to 1881 and the early development of the Dutch telephone network. Today, Koninklijke KPN N.V. operates as a major Dutch telecom and IT provider serving consumers, SMEs, enterprise clients, public-sector organizations, and wholesale telecom partners. The company is headquartered in Rotterdam, and its current CEO is Joost Farwerck.
For hosting customers, KPN is not a traditional budget shared-hosting provider. Their strongest position is in enterprise cloud hosting, managed webhosting, private cloud, Microsoft cloud workplace, secure connectivity, storage, SAP / Oracle hosting, colocation, and managed IT services built around Dutch infrastructure.
Their hosting-related portfolio includes Cloud Hosting, where businesses can use flexible managed server capacity on KPN infrastructure; Cloud Applications, including managed webhosting and identity/access management; Private Cloud / CloudNL, focused on sovereign cloud and Dutch data residency; Public Cloud, where KPN supports Microsoft Azure and AWS environments; Cloud Connect, for secure access between company infrastructure and cloud platforms; Storage on Demand, based on managed storage infrastructure; Oracle Exadata Private Cloud; SAP Managed Services; Colocation; Edge Computing; Microsoft 365; Exchange Online; domain services; PKI / SSL certificates; cybersecurity; IoT; monitoring; managed firewall; and business internet.
KPN is especially relevant for Dutch organizations that want cloud services connected to national telecom infrastructure, compliance, security, and local enterprise support. Their offer is more suitable for companies needing managed cloud and business continuity than for users looking for simple low-cost cPanel hosting.
