📄 Editorial Review

twosteps is a German web hosting, managed infrastructure and IT services provider operating since 2001. The business is registered as twosteps GmbH and is managed by Ralf Kayser. Its main office is in Filderstadt, near Stuttgart Airport, while an additional French office serves customers from Aix-en-Provence.

The company combines conventional hosting with a much broader range of managed business technology. Its portfolio includes domain registration, Linux shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting, e-commerce hosting, managed virtual servers, managed dedicated servers, cloud storage, website building, SSL certificates, email services, backup, compliant email archiving, Microsoft 365, security services, server monitoring, managed IT and custom software development.

Shared hosting is available through the Home, Starter, Basic, Profi, Company and Premium packages. Storage allocations range from 2,024 MB to 40,960 MB on NVMe-based systems, while allocated memory extends from 32 MB to 512 MB. Depending on the package, customers receive between one and eight included domains and support for as many as 8,000 email accounts.

Every shared hosting package includes unmetered traffic, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, Debian Linux, Apache and NGINX, free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, dynamic DNS, automated application installation and an xCloud allocation. Automated backups are retained for 14 days, providing a useful recovery layer for websites, databases and email data.

The hosting environment supports MySQL or MariaDB databases, phpMyAdmin, selectable PHP versions, DKIM, SPF, spam filtering and virus filtering. Data-processing agreements are also available for customers that need GDPR documentation.

Server administration remains under the company’s control, so customers do not need to maintain Linux, web server software, mail services or security updates themselves. The inexpensive Home package is primarily supported through email, while the higher packages add telephone assistance and remote support.

Managed WordPress hosting uses the same NVMe-based infrastructure and includes automatic installation, SSL protection and professional migration assistance. Existing WordPress websites can be transferred with their files, databases and email accounts, reducing the technical work normally associated with changing providers.

The e-commerce packages are suitable for stores based on platforms such as PrestaShop 8 and Shopware 6 Community Edition. They include free initial installation, SSL protection, assistance with payment integration and server configurations intended to support PCI-DSS-related requirements. Storage ranges from approximately 10 GB to 40 GB, with room for additional websites alongside the main online store.

A browser-based website builder is available for customers who prefer not to use WordPress or work directly with source code. The editor uses drag-and-drop controls and responsive templates that adapt to desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.

More than 450 domain extensions can be registered. Hosted domains receive free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, while commercial domain-validated, organization-validated, extended-validation and wildcard certificates are available for projects with more demanding verification requirements.

The managed VPS range provides a practical upgrade path from shared hosting. Four configurations offer between 2 GB and 16 GB RAM, with mirrored NVMe storage ranging from 2 × 20 GB to 2 × 240 GB. The servers include Debian, IPv4 and IPv6, databases, SSL certificates, Apache or NGINX, application installation, migration assistance and optional load balancing.

Customers needing exclusive physical resources can choose managed dedicated servers. Entry configurations begin with 64 GB RAM and 2 × 512 GB NVMe storage, while larger systems reach 128 GB RAM and 2 × 1,920 GB NVMe. Twosteps handles operating-system maintenance, security configuration, monitoring and technical administration, allowing businesses to use dedicated infrastructure without maintaining an internal Linux administration team.

The infrastructure portfolio is centered on managed services rather than unmanaged servers. This approach is particularly suitable for businesses that want direct technical involvement from their provider instead of a self-service platform where the customer assumes responsibility for administration and security.

xCloud is a managed cloud-storage and collaboration service based on Nextcloud. It supports file synchronization, password-protected sharing links, WebDAV, calendars, address books, webmail, task management, chat, video calls and browser-based document editing through OnlyOffice.

Customers can keep xCloud data in Germany, Finland or France. The selected European location remains the primary storage region, making the service suitable for organizations that prefer their business files to remain within European data-protection jurisdictions.

Dedicated xCloud packages provide between 15 GB and 230 GB SSD storage, 2 GB to 32 GB RAM and 18 TB of traffic. Unlimited user accounts are included, storage can be expanded in 10 GB increments and the service is available with a 30-day free trial. Smaller xCloud allocations are also bundled with ordinary web hosting packages.

The managed backup service protects files, workstations and servers. Data is encrypted during transmission, stored in Germany and monitored centrally. Customers can choose cloud-only protection or hybrid backup arrangements that combine local NAS storage with an external copy.

Recovery options cover individual files, complete systems, Microsoft SQL databases, Microsoft Exchange, Hyper-V and VMware environments. This makes the service useful for both ordinary office data and more complex business continuity requirements.

Email archiving provides immutable and searchable storage for incoming and outgoing business correspondence. Existing mail can be imported, while archived messages remain accessible through Outlook, IMAP, web browsers and mobile devices. The service supports compliance-oriented retention and includes a 30-day free trial.

Additional services include Hosted Exchange, Microsoft 365 administration, email migration, newsletters, spam and malware filtering, endpoint antivirus protection, server monitoring, website monitoring, remote assistance and ongoing managed IT.

Custom software development is available for Windows, Linux and Apple environments. The company has experience with projects for automotive, aviation, hospitality, healthcare and social-service organizations, extending its role beyond hosting into long-term application and infrastructure support.

The website is available in German, English and French, and products are priced in euros. The layout is responsive and functional, although its content-heavy presentation is more traditional than the simplified dashboards and compact comparison tables used by many modern cloud providers. A few technical version references and translated interface elements are not completely consistent, so customers with strict software requirements should confirm the exact platform version before migration.
