📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Snel.com is an independent Dutch hosting company headquartered in Rotterdam. The Snel.com business was founded in 2010 by Mustafa "Musti" Aslan and Yavuz Aydin, initially operating under the SnelServer name. Their earlier work in internet hosting dates back to around 2000–2001, which explains the longer "since 2000" history used across parts of the company website. LinkedIn places the company in the 2–10 employee range, although Snel manages more than 1,000 servers and combines a relatively compact team with a highly automated platform.

There is no known acquisition or larger corporate owner behind Snel.com. They remain an independent hosting provider, which is becoming less common in the consolidated Dutch hosting market. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and operates as a certified green hosting provider.

The main product range consists of VPS Hosting, Pure Performance VPS, Managed VPS, Windows VPS, Dedicated Servers, Managed Dedicated Servers, Managed GPU Servers, White-Label Reseller Hosting, Domain Registration, email filtering, backups, server security products, software licenses and configurable server upgrades.

Standard VPS plans are scalable virtual machines hosted in the Netherlands. The entry VPS includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD storage, unlimited traffic, one snapshot, static IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity and a 1 Gbps uplink. Larger predefined configurations and the customizable Prime option can scale to 64 vCPU, 256 GB RAM and 5 TB SSD storage. Both Linux and Windows operating systems are available.

These regular VPS plans prioritize redundancy, scalability and general-purpose reliability. Customers who need more consistent processing performance can choose Pure Performance VPS, which uses AMD EPYC processors, dedicated CPU resources and NVMe storage. The smallest Pure Performance configuration includes two dedicated vCPU cores, 4 GB dedicated RAM and 100 GB NVMe storage. This range is better suited to databases, development platforms, remote-desktop environments, SaaS applications and other workloads that benefit from dedicated processing capacity.

Windows VPS packages include the Windows Server license and remote desktop access. They start with 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 75 GB SSD storage, while configurable plans can scale considerably higher. Windows and Linux VPS products can be ordered as either self-managed or fully managed services.

With a self-managed server, the customer remains responsible for operating-system updates, application installation, security, monitoring and backups. Managed plans transfer most server administration to Snel’s technical team and include proactive monitoring, operating-system maintenance, security management, performance work and daily off-site backups. Managed servers normally do not include unrestricted root or administrator access because Snel retains operational responsibility, although special arrangements may be possible.

The managed service is divided into Sailor, Skipper and Captain levels. Sailor is included with managed servers, while Skipper and Captain add longer support windows, faster incident response, more included engineering time and quicker emergency patching. Captain is the highest level and includes round-the-clock support coverage.

Dedicated hosting uses enterprise hardware with Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC processors and SSD, NVMe or SATA storage. Entry configurations include dedicated CPU resources, ECC memory, hardware RAID, 40 TB of monthly transfer and a 1 Gbps connection. Higher configurations can reach 10 Gbps and support substantially more memory and storage. Stock servers can be delivered rapidly, while specialized configurations may require several working days.

Managed dedicated servers add monitoring, daily encrypted off-site backups, software updates, security administration, web and database server management and assistance with platforms such as Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, IIS, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. Managed GPU servers are also available for AI, machine learning, rendering and compute-intensive applications, with hardware and pricing prepared according to project requirements.

White-Label Reseller Hosting allows agencies, developers and hosting resellers to sell hosting under their own identity. The plans use NVMe storage and include Plesk reseller access, daily backups, LiteSpeed Enterprise, Let’s Encrypt SSL and wildcard certificates, email hosting, WordPress Toolkit and customizable customer branding. The entry package supports ten websites, 2 CPU cores, 6 GB memory, 50 GB NVMe storage and unlimited traffic. Higher plans support 25 or 50 websites with additional resources. Free migration is available from the Pro package upward when the customer prepays and commits for at least one year.

The public catalog no longer contains a conventional standalone budget shared-hosting package. Reseller Hosting is currently the closest match for customers who need managed website and email hosting without administering a complete VPS. There is also no publicly priced colocation package in the current product range.

Domain registration covers more than 2,000 extensions. Domains include DNSSEC and can be combined with white-label services for resellers. Email protection is available through SpamExperts, which filters spam, phishing, malware, viruses and ransomware while keeping incoming messages in fallback storage whenever the destination mail server is unavailable. VPS customers can also use a free Smarthost SMTP relay for up to 20,000 outgoing messages because direct outbound port 25 traffic is blocked to reduce abuse and blacklisting.

Customers can add CPU cores, RAM, storage, IP addresses, snapshots, backup capacity, traffic allocations, operating systems, security tools and software licenses. This makes the service suitable for projects that need to begin with a smaller configuration and expand without moving to a completely different platform.

The website has a modern, responsive layout and is fully available in English and Dutch. Services are priced in EUR.
