📄 Editorial Review

snafu is a long-established German Internet and hosting company with roots dating to 1994 in Berlin. The business started with Interactive Networx GmbH and the snafu brand during the early commercial Internet period in Germany. Robert Rothe and Jörn Lubkoll were associated with the company in its early years. Interactive Networx was acquired by PSINet in 1998, and the snafu operation later became part of Inter.net Germany GmbH in 2000. Since 2020, the operating company has used the name snafu Gesellschaft für interaktive Netzwerke mbH. Christian Röhl joined the management team in 2014 and has served as sole managing director since December 2015.

The company remains based in Berlin and operates as a specialized hosting, infrastructure, networking and E-Commerce provider rather than a conventional mass-market shared-hosting company. Its portfolio covers web hosting, virtual servers, dedicated systems, E-Commerce platforms, ERP environments, managed hosting, colocation, cloud infrastructure, VPN services, monitoring, IT security and business email. snafu is independently financed and operates with a relatively compact team focused mainly on business customers.

Information security is an important part of the operation. The company works under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, continuing an ISO 27001 certification history that began in 2018. The current certification was renewed in July 2024.

The standard Web Hosting portfolio includes Web M, Web L, Web XL and Web XXL. Storage ranges from 250 MB to 5 GB, so these packages are clearly intended for smaller websites rather than storage-heavy projects. SSL, MySQL support, a dedicated IP address within the current ordering configuration, domain services and support for common PHP applications are available. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and WooCommerce can be used depending on the selected package. Domain extensions available with the hosting range include .de, .com, .net, .org, .biz and .eu.

Shared hosting includes daily backups, unlimited traffic and SSL certificates. The relatively small disk allocations make these packages more suitable for company websites, smaller CMS installations and lightweight business projects than for large multimedia applications.

The Linux VPS range uses Debian-based virtual machines with configurations starting at 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 75 GB SSD and increasing to 4 vCPU, 12 GB RAM and 150 GB SSD. Customers receive a dedicated IP address, full root and SSH access, RAID-backed storage and unlimited traffic.

The Windows VPS range starts with similar hardware resources and scales to 4 vCPU, 12 GB RAM and 150 GB SSD. Microsoft Windows Server and Remote Desktop access make these systems suitable for Windows-based company applications, administration software and business workloads requiring Microsoft technologies.

E-Commerce infrastructure is one of snafu's strongest areas. Shop Smart uses cloud virtual machines with configurations from 2 to 4 vCPU, 4 to 12 GB RAM and 75 to 150 GB SSD. Shop Pro and Shop Business move into much larger root-server environments with substantially more RAM, multi-core processors, redundant storage and optional or standard redundant power supplies.

These systems are suitable for platforms such as JTL-Shop, Shopware, Magento and WooCommerce. Migration, database administration, staging systems and performance optimization can be combined with the hosting service. SSL, backups, unlimited transfer and infrastructure monitoring are integrated into these environments.

The JTL-Wawi / ERP Hosting portfolio extends this concept to inventory management and business applications. Smart packages use Windows cloud virtual machines, while Pro and Business systems use larger dedicated or hardware-virtualized root servers. Microsoft SQL Server options, Remote Desktop access and dedicated backup capacity are available. JTL-WMS, JTL-POS and JTL Connector can also be integrated.

ERP and CRM hosting is not limited to JTL. The company also works with systems such as Odoo, Xentral and Amtangee, making snafu particularly relevant for online retailers that prefer to keep their webshop, inventory application, databases and infrastructure with one technical provider.

Agencies can use Agency Server Hosting, dedicated and virtual servers, migration assistance and separate staging or test environments. This gives developers and digital agencies considerably more flexibility than the basic shared-hosting range.

Managed Hosting can cover everything from an individual virtual machine to redundant high-availability environments. Operating-system maintenance, application maintenance, databases, performance optimization, monitoring and Microsoft SPLA licensing can all form part of the managed service.

A more unusual part of the portfolio is Mac Server Hosting using dedicated Apple hardware in Berlin. The current Mac Mini M2 configuration includes a 10-core M2 processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, a 1 Gbit/s network connection, dedicated IP address, unlimited traffic and full root access. Apple Remote Desktop is supported. This type of hosting is particularly useful for Xcode, Jenkins, macOS and iOS development, FileMaker and CI/CD workflows that require genuine Apple hardware.

The infrastructure portfolio also includes Colocation / IT Housing, backup and disaster recovery, high-availability clusters, redundant load balancing, managed hosting, private and virtual cloud infrastructure, cloud desktops, IT-security consulting, site-to-site and remote-access VPN services, Alarm-over-IP and automated monitoring.

Monitoring is integrated extensively into the business services. Systems can be monitored for failures, performance thresholds and maintenance conditions, while administrators can receive alerts through email or SMS. This is particularly useful for databases, E-Commerce systems, ERP environments and critical business services where simple server availability monitoring is insufficient.

Business email forms another significant part of the service range. Standard email infrastructure supports IMAP, POP3 and authenticated SMTP together with spam and antivirus protection. White-Label E-Mail allows resellers and service providers to offer email, domains, web hosting and online storage under their own branding. Billing, payment collection and first-level support can also be handled through snafu.

The website and ordering environment are primarily in German. No multi-language/localized version exists for the normal hosting storefront. Prices are offered in EUR, making the service especially suitable for German-speaking companies, agencies, developers and online retailers.
