Lease WebLeaseweb operates as a
global Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider, not a small retail host. The company runs a large international platform with dozens of data centers and a high-capacity backbone network spread across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. The infrastructure is clearly aimed at customers who care about low latency, high availability, and strict compliance rather than just cheap shared hosting. Their platform ties together compute, storage, networking, security, and automation in a single environment that can scale from a single VPS up to complex multi-region architectures.
The core catalog covers
Dedicated Servers,
Virtual Private Servers (VPS),
Public Cloud,
VMware-based Private Cloud,
Colocation,
CDN / Multi-CDN,
Web Hosting (Linux and Windows),
Domain Names,
Backup,
Object Storage, and security add-ons such as
DDoS IP Protection. Everything sits on top of the same global network and can be managed through a unified customer portal and API, which makes it attractive when a project is expected to grow over time or span multiple regions.
Dedicated servers and bare metal
The
Dedicated Server line is the backbone of the portfolio. Leaseweb offers a broad range of bare-metal machines, from entry configurations suitable for small applications to high-end multi-core systems,
GPU servers, and storage-heavy nodes. Servers come with enterprise-grade hardware, redundant connectivity, remote management (iDRAC / iLO-style console access), optional hardware firewalls, and standard
DDoS IP Protection at network level, with advanced tiers available for traffic-sensitive workloads. Provisioning is largely automated, so new servers can be brought online quickly and then controlled from the portal or via API.
VPS and public cloud
For smaller or more flexible deployments, Leaseweb runs
Linux and Windows VPS plans and a
Public Cloud platform. VPS instances use KVM virtualization with multiple performance tiers and generous traffic pools (typically large amounts of outgoing traffic with free incoming traffic) riding on the same backbone as the dedicated fleet. The environment offers snapshots, custom ISO support, firewall rules, monitoring, and console access through the portal.
Above that, there is a
VMware Private Cloud layer (vSphere / vCloud / HCI). This targets organizations that need enterprise virtualization features, HA clustering, and deeper control over resource pools. The VMware stack is tied directly into Leaseweb’s global network and is associated with high availability targets and fully redundant internal and public networks.
Colocation and hybrid setups
Leaseweb also runs sizeable
colocation facilities with options ranging from single rack units to full racks and cages. Customers place their own hardware in these data centers and then tap into the same backbone and peering fabric as the cloud and dedicated platforms. Access management, remote hands, shipping addresses, and logistics are all handled within a structured framework, and there is tight integration with the customer portal so that access badges, support tickets, and network services are all handled in one place. For businesses that want hybrid setups, it is straightforward to combine colocated racks with dedicated servers, cloud instances, and Multi-CDN in the same ecosystem.
CDN, Multi-CDN and security
On the content-delivery side, Leaseweb provides its own
CDN and a
Multi-CDN service. Multi-CDN is built as an overlay that lets customers orchestrate several CDNs via a single portal and reporting interface, with billing and traffic reporting consolidated. This integrates with Leaseweb Object Storage as an origin and can be combined with the DDoS protection features offered on the core network. For customers pushing media, gaming, downloads, or global SaaS traffic, that ability to combine compute, storage, CDN, and network-level security within one framework is a strong point.
Web hosting and domains
Although the portfolio is dominated by infrastructure services, Leaseweb still maintains
managed web hosting for Linux and Windows along with
domain registration. Shared hosting is built around the
Plesk control panel and is monitored 24/7 by a dedicated shared hosting team. Customers can manage multiple domains, DNS, websites, and email from Plesk while benefiting from the same data centers and network as larger customers.
Overall, Leaseweb is an infrastructure partner that also happens to sell some shared hosting, rather than a pure low-cost shared hosting brand. The platform makes the most sense for customers planning to scale up to multi-server or multi-region deployments, or who already know they need enterprise-grade uptime and connectivity.

WorldstreamWorldstream is a Dutch cloud infrastructure and IaaS provider headquartered in
Naaldwijk, Netherlands, with roots going back to
2006. The company was founded by
Lennert Vollebregt and
Dirk Vromans and has developed into a strong European infrastructure provider with more than
15,000 active servers under management, a high-capacity
10Tbit/s+ network, and 24/7/365 technical support.
This is not a classic shared hosting company for small brochure websites. Worldstream is much stronger in
Dedicated Servers,
Bare Metal,
Cloud Compute,
Private Cloud,
Flexible Cloud,
Cloud Storage,
Object Storage,
Backup Storage,
Colocation,
DDoS Protection, and network infrastructure. Their best audience includes MSPs, SaaS platforms, media companies, e-commerce operations, security firms, developers, AI/ML workloads, storage-heavy businesses, and companies that want European infrastructure with predictable monthly pricing.
The
Dedicated Servers catalog is one of the company’s most important areas. They offer both
instant delivery servers and
custom-built dedicated servers. Instant delivery systems can be activated very quickly, while custom servers are better suited for buyers with specific CPU, RAM, storage, GPU, uplink, operating system, and traffic requirements. The catalog includes
Intel Xeon,
Intel Xeon Scalable,
AMD EPYC, and
AMD Ryzen servers, with available locations in the
Netherlands and
Germany. Uplink options include 1Gbit/s, 2Gbit/s, 5Gbit/s, and 10Gbit/s configurations, with traffic bundles such as 50TB, 100TB, 250TB, 500TB, and higher-capacity server deals.
Their AI and GPU infrastructure gives Worldstream a more modern profile than many traditional bare-metal providers. The AI server range fits
GPU tasks, machine learning, deep learning, inference, large data processing, and compute-heavy workloads, including NVIDIA RTX-class configurations and high-end Blackwell-generation options.
Cloud services are organized around
Cloud Compute and
Cloud Storage. On the compute side, Worldstream offers
Bare Metal Compute,
Flexible Cloud, and
Private Cloud. Flexible Cloud is based on VMware technology and fits companies that want scalable virtualization without building everything from scratch. Private Cloud is better for organizations that need dedicated resources, stronger isolation, predictable cost, and more control over compliance and data residency. Bare Metal Compute is the best fit for
large databases, AI/ML, HPC, big data, low-latency systems, or workloads with licensing and performance constraints.
The storage portfolio is also business-oriented.
Object Storage is S3- and Swift-compatible and works for unstructured data, archives, static files, backups, and application storage.
File Storage covers shared file access, while
Block Storage is more appropriate for virtualization platforms, database clusters, and high-performance workloads.
Backup Storage is designed for off-site protection, disaster recovery, retention, immutability, ransomware resilience, and scalable EU-based backup capacity.
Worldstream’s website is modern, wide-screen, and easy to navigate. It supports
English and
Dutch, with prices displayed in
EUR. The design is not outdated and does not look like an old, narrow-width hosting website; it is clearly aimed at business infrastructure buyers rather than bargain shared-hosting users.

YourHosting.nlYourhosting is one of the better-established Dutch hosting providers, with a history dating back to
2000. The company was founded by
Valentijn Borstlap and developed from a traditional domain and web hosting business into a considerably broader Internet services provider. Operations are centered in
Zwolle, Overijssel, Netherlands, under Your Hosting B.V., registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 34128261.
The business has reached substantial scale in the Netherlands, serving more than
344,000 customers, managing approximately
1.38 million domain names, and employing more than 250 people. This makes Yourhosting much larger than the typical independent shared-hosting provider and gives it a particularly strong presence among Dutch consumers, entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses.
Corporate consolidation has played an important role in this growth. In
February 2018, the former Yourholding group joined Strikwerda Investments in the creation of Total Webhosting Solutions. That organization later developed into
Your.Online (your.online), which subsequently became part of the wider Your.World group.
Yourhosting became one of the central Dutch brands within this structure. From
January 1, 2022, several hosting companies were consolidated into Yourhosting, including Argeweb, SoHosted, Vevida, Alphamega Hosting, VIP Internet, Realhosting and DeHeeg. Customers from KPN's former Eigen Site & Mail operation were also transferred during 2022. As a result, the company combines its original hosting operation with a large customer base accumulated through acquisitions and migrations from other established Dutch providers.
The current service portfolio covers
Domains, Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, VPS, Managed VPS, Reseller Hosting, Email Hosting, Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Website Builder, Web Design, Webshop Design, Premium DNS, SSL Certificates and Online Backup. This gives customers a practical path from a simple domain and mailbox to managed websites, Microsoft business applications and dedicated virtual server resources.
The main
Web Hosting range is divided between Basic, WordPress Start and WordPress Max. Basic is suitable for customers who want a conventional hosting environment and prefer to install or manage their own CMS, while WordPress Start and WordPress Max provide a more WordPress-oriented setup. CMS applications can be installed through
Plesk, making WordPress and other common website applications relatively easy to deploy.
WordPress hosting includes automatic updates, daily backups and additional security measures. The Smart WordPress AI environment can create an initial website within minutes after the customer chooses a style and provides information about the business. The system can generate
pages, text, images and logos, while the AI assistant can later help make changes to the website.
ServicePlus adds a more hands-on service layer for customers who do not want to handle every technical task themselves. It can include YourAdvice, installation assistance, callback support, migration assistance, monthly webmaster work and help recovering a hacked WordPress website. This makes the higher hosting packages especially useful for small businesses without their own webmaster or system administrator.
The migration service can transfer websites and several mailboxes from another provider, while installation assistance covers initial tasks such as connecting a domain, publishing the website and configuring email accounts on customer devices.
The separate
Email Hosting range is suitable for customers who need professional mailboxes without necessarily purchasing web hosting. Basic Mail includes
50 GB total email storage, 50 mailboxes and up to 1 GB per mailbox. Start Mail increases capacity to
150 GB, 250 mailboxes and up to 5 GB per mailbox, while Max Mail provides
300 GB total storage, unlimited mailboxes and individual mailboxes up to 15 GB. Unlimited aliases, antivirus protection and spam filtering are included.
Customers requiring significantly more control can move to an
Unmanaged VPS. These servers provide dedicated virtual resources, root access and Linux installations based on AlmaLinux or Ubuntu. Pro 4 includes
175 GB SSD storage, 4 GB RAM, two CPU cores and unlimited traffic, while the larger packages scale to as much as 600 GB SSD, 24 GB RAM and eight CPU cores.
Unmanaged VPS customers are responsible for operating-system administration, updates, application configuration and their own server-level management. Hardware and network infrastructure remain the responsibility of Yourhosting. A
DirectAdmin license can be added for customers who prefer graphical server administration instead of managing everything from the command line.
The
Managed VPS range is considerably more service-oriented. Yourhosting handles operating-system updates, monitoring, security and backups, making these servers better suited to companies that need isolated resources but do not want to employ their own Linux administrator. M Pro 3 includes
2 GB RAM, three CPU cores, 80 GB SSD storage and 2.5 TB traffic, while M Pro 4 includes
4 GB RAM, four CPU cores, 100 GB SSD storage and 5 TB traffic. Both include
24/7 SLA3 support, and larger custom configurations are available when required.
Reseller Hosting is available for agencies, designers, developers and other businesses managing hosting for their own customers. Discounts increase according to the number of customers managed through the reseller account, beginning at 3% from three customers and reaching 12.5% for 15 or more. Resellers remain responsible for first-line customer support while handling customer services, invoices, quotations and product changes through their own environment.
Reseller VPS provides greater isolation and more dedicated resources than ordinary reseller hosting. It combines virtual server resources with management functions such as Plesk and backups, making it suitable for resellers that need more control over their infrastructure.
Domains remain an important part of the company. Yourhosting manages well over one million domain names and supports hundreds of extensions, including
.nl, .com and .eu alongside many country-code and newer generic TLDs. Domain transfers use the normal authorization-code process, and customers can combine a transfer with website, email and DNS migration services.
A separate Domain Redirect service can forward an additional or older domain to another website. Yourhosting also has an AI business-name generator that creates company-name suggestions and immediately allows matching domain availability to be checked.
Customers who prefer not to use WordPress can build a website with
YourWebsite, the company's visual website builder. It includes more than
140 responsive templates, drag-and-drop editing, hosting, professional email, SEO functions, blogging features, social-media integration, SSL and analytics support.
For businesses that prefer to outsource the entire project, Yourhosting provides professional
Web Design services using WordPress. Entry packages cover smaller one-page websites, while Business and Pro configurations support larger five-page and ten-page projects. Customers retain ownership of the resulting website, which is an important advantage over fully closed website-builder ecosystems.
Professional webshop development is also available. Smaller WordPress webshops start at approximately
€2,000, while more advanced custom e-commerce projects can reach €10,000 or more depending on functionality and complexity. Ongoing WordPress maintenance is available separately.
The business-services range extends into
Microsoft 365, including Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium and Enterprise licensing. Depending on the selected package, customers receive Office applications, OneDrive, Outlook, Teams, business email and additional security and management functions.
Exchange Online is available separately for businesses that need Microsoft email without the complete Office bundle. Plan 1 provides a 50 GB mailbox, while Plan 2 increases mailbox capacity to 100 GB. Features include Outlook Web App, desktop Outlook support, calendar and contacts, spam and malware filtering, retention functionality, data-loss-prevention features and archiving.
Microsoft Copilot for Business can be added to compatible Microsoft 365 subscriptions, extending AI-assisted functionality into Microsoft applications, email, documents and meetings.
Security services include
Premium DNS, using Anycast technology, DNSSEC and additional DDoS resilience. The DNS infrastructure spans approximately
20 countries, 40 locations and around 100 DNS servers, improving resilience and allowing DNS requests to be answered from geographically distributed locations.
SSL options range from free Let's Encrypt certificates to managed DV, Wildcard and EV certificates. Commercial certificates use Sectigo products, while Yourhosting handles installation, maintenance and renewal for the managed options.
Acronis Backup provides an additional backup service for computers, mobile devices, business systems and cloud applications. Storage packages begin at 50 GB, while business configurations can protect workstations, servers, virtual machines, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Backup data is stored in certified European facilities.
The company is strongly focused on the Dutch market. The website, account environment and ordinary telephone assistance are primarily in
Dutch, while products are sold in
EUR. No complete multi-language/localized storefront exists, so the service is considerably more convenient for Dutch-speaking customers than for international users requiring an English-first hosting environment.

Hyper NodeHypernode is a managed e-commerce hosting specialist with a clear focus on performance-driven online stores rather than generic low-cost web hosting. Their strongest fit is for merchants, agencies and developers working with
Magento / Adobe Commerce,
Shopware,
WooCommerce, Akeneo, Pimcore, Drupal, Laravel, Hyvä and similar commerce-oriented stacks. The company has Dutch roots, previously operated under the Byte name, became part of
Combell Group in 2016, and later moved under the wider team.blue structure after the Combell Group / TransIP Group merger in 2019.
This is not a typical shared-hosting company built around cheap beginner packages, cPanel bundles and mass-market domain offers. Hypernode is much more specialized. Their product range is built around
Managed Cloud Hosting,
Managed Dedicated Hosting and
Cluster Hosting for online stores that need speed, stability, security and developer-friendly operations. The platform is particularly suitable for serious e-commerce projects where hosting performance directly affects conversion, checkout stability and customer experience.
Their managed cloud hosting plans are designed for flexible scaling and fast deployment. The Falcon and Eagle cloud families cover different infrastructure profiles, with Falcon connected to Combell OpenStack and Eagle connected to
AWS. Dedicated hosting is better suited for larger stores with predictable traffic and a need for stronger isolated resources. Cluster hosting is the highest-end option, using multiple connected servers for larger webshops, heavy databases and high-traffic projects where failover, horizontal scaling and redundancy are important.
Hypernode also has a strong developer profile. The environment includes
SSH access, Git-friendly workflows, Brancher nodes, Hypernode Deploy, Redis, Varnish, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, New Relic integration, staging/development workflows and backup management. This makes the platform practical for agencies and technical teams that need more than a simple hosting dashboard.
Security and maintenance are also major parts of the Hypernode value. Their platform includes
daily malware scanning, automated backups, brute-force protection, IP whitelisting, modern TLS, Let’s Encrypt SSL, storefront health checks, MageReport-related security tooling, weak password scanning, critical vulnerability handling, auto-healing and regular platform patching. This gives store owners a more managed environment while still keeping advanced technical access available.
The website is available in
English and
Dutch, and customer support is available in both languages. Pricing is shown mainly in
EUR and
GBP. The website is modern, clean and suitable for current desktop and mobile use.

SnelSnel.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.

TilaaTilaa is a Dutch cloud hosting provider focused on European cloud infrastructure, VPS hosting, and application deployment rather than classic low-cost shared hosting. The company has been active since
2008 and operates as an independent, vendor-neutral cloud provider from the Netherlands, with a strong focus on
EU data sovereignty, automation, redundancy, and transparent pricing.
Their main service line is
Cloud Servers / VPS, built for Linux, Windows, BSD, and FreeBSD workloads. Customers can configure CPU, RAM, storage, networking, operating systems, snapshots, and add-ons through the
Tilaa Cloud Dashboard, with API automation available for developers and technical teams. The platform supports custom VPS configurations from small development servers to larger production workloads, with resources scaling up to
24 CPU cores,
192 GB RAM, and
1280 GB storage.
Tilaa’s product range is broader than a traditional VPS provider. Alongside
Cloud VPS, they offer
Block Storage / Big Disk,
NFS Storage,
Managed Backups,
Snapshots,
Floating IPs,
Private Networks,
DDoS protection, and software licensing. Their newer
Nexaa application platform adds
serverless containers,
fixed containers,
scheduled jobs,
persistent storage,
managed database clusters, and
managed message queue clusters, making Tilaa more attractive for developers, SaaS teams, web agencies, and companies that want a European alternative to larger hyperscale cloud vendors.
The company holds
ISO 27001,
ISO 9001, and
PCI DSS 4.0 certifications, which strengthens its value for security-sensitive and compliance-aware customers. Their Dutch and EU hosting model is especially relevant for businesses that care about
GDPR, European data residency, predictable billing, and avoiding unnecessary dependency on non-European cloud platforms.
The website is modern, cloud-focused, and easy to navigate. English is supported, pricing is shown in
EUR, and the company’s positioning is clearly international while still centered on Dutch infrastructure and European legal protection.

Altus HostAltusHost is a European hosting provider headquartered in
Amsterdam, Netherlands, with activity dating back to
2008. The company has a mature infrastructure-oriented profile rather than the style of a very cheap mass-market host. Its strongest fit is for customers who want European hosting locations, a more controlled network environment, and a business hosting approach with real technical depth behind the service.
The product portfolio is broad and practical. AltusHost covers
Business Web Hosting,
Reseller Web Hosting,
Linux VPS,
Dedicated Servers,
Dedicated Servers in Stock,
Colocation,
Customized Private Cloud,
Fully Managed Hosting,
Domain Registration,
SSL Certificates,
Remote Backup,
Website Builder, and
Software Licenses such as
cPanel/WHM,
CloudLinux and
Imunify360. This makes the company useful for small business websites, agencies, resellers, developers, privacy-sensitive European projects, and companies that may later need to move from standard hosting to VPS, dedicated servers, colocation or private cloud.
Their
Business Web Hosting line is built around
cPanel, making it suitable for users who want a familiar interface for websites, email, domains, files and databases. The
Reseller Hosting service is more agency-oriented and includes
cPanel / WHM,
Softaculous,
MailChannels email delivery and
Imunify360. The
Linux VPS platform uses
KVM virtualization, full root access, predictable resources and European hosting locations including
The Netherlands,
Bulgaria,
Switzerland and
Sweden. Entry VPS configurations start with
2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB storage and 5 TB bandwidth.
For more demanding workloads, AltusHost offers
Dedicated Servers with enterprise-grade hardware, optional management and 24/7 expert support. Current dedicated server configurations include Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC options, while the in-stock server range is useful for customers who need faster deployment.
Colocation is available in multiple European countries, from single-server colocation to custom infrastructure arrangements.
Private Cloud is the higher-end option, with isolated infrastructure, proactive monitoring, snapshots, backups and more flexible architecture for business projects.
AltusHost has a modern and clearly organized English-language website. The client portal supports
EUR and
USD, which is useful for both European and international customers.

Trans IPTransIP is a long-standing
Dutch domain and hosting provider based in
Leiden, active since
2003 and founded by internet entrepreneur
Ali Niknam. Over two decades it has grown into one of the largest registrar–hosting brands in the Benelux and now operates as an anchor brand within the
team.blue group, which brings it into a wider European infrastructure ecosystem.
The core catalog for classic website projects revolves around
Linux web hosting on fast SSD storage. Plans are structured into three tiers –
Core,
Pro, and
Max – and all of them share the same basic idea: one shared platform with
unlimited data traffic, containerized Linux environments for each site, and a central firewall layer. Even the entry Core plan comes with 1 website, 20 GB SSD space, email inboxes, a MySQL database, free SSL, daily backups, SFTP/SSH access, and one-click WordPress installs. Moving up to Pro and Max increases the number of hosted sites (up to 5), storage (up to 250 GB), email accounts, database limits, and Varnish cache allocation, so it scales from simple blogs and small business sites up to busier multi-site setups.
Beyond web hosting, TransIP is very strong on
self-managed compute. The
VPS line is split into three platforms:
BladeVPS for general-purpose workloads,
PerformanceVPS for high-end dedicated-vCPU use cases, and
SandboxVPS as a low-cost IPv6-only playground for development and testing. BladeVPS offers 1–8 shared vCPUs, up to 64 GB RAM and 1.28 TB SSD; PerformanceVPS pushes that up to 32 dedicated vCPUs, 64 GB RAM and 1.6 TB NVMe network storage. Every VPS includes IPv4/IPv6, a firewall, monitoring and automatic backups, with more frequent backups and snapshots on the higher tiers. SandboxVPS strips away "production" extras like IPv4 and advanced backup options to create a cheap, flexible environment to experiment with.
For projects that need something closer to an elastic cloud, TransIP also offers
OpenStack-based Public Cloud. This is aimed at customers who want to build scalable, redundant infrastructures: autoscaling instances billed per hour, separate block storage tiers (HDD/SSD/NVMe), GPU instances, load balancing, secret management and orchestration tools. Data stays in the EU, spread across three physically separate data centers, with triple-replicated storage across racks and high-capacity inter-DC links. Combined with optional networking products like
HA-IP load balancers, Private Network and dedicated IP subnets, it covers many of the same use cases as hyperscaler clouds, but on a smaller, more focused European footprint.
On top of hosting and compute, there is a broad supporting layer:
domain registration for a wide range of TLDs, DNS hosting,
email-only plans for customers who just want professional mail on their own domain, storage add-ons under the "Big Storage" brand, and managed mail-sending services for VPS users. Everything is controlled through TransIP’s own web control panel and API, and the whole platform is available both in
Dutch and
English (via transip.eu ) through the .nl/.eu/.co.uk domains, making it accessible to local Dutch customers as well as international users comfortable with English.
A noticeable characteristic of TransIP is how much of the stack is self-built and automated. The company emphasizes that all core systems – from the control panel to VPS platform and OpenStack environment – are engineered in-house and designed to be heavily automated. That shows up in features like Git integration for web hosting (AutoGit deployments), quick OS reloads for VPS, infrastructure as code integrations for OpenStack, and a strong API story. This makes the platform particularly attractive to
developers, agencies, and technically fluent SMEs who want to script and integrate their infrastructure instead of treating hosting as a black box.

HipexHipex was a Dutch managed e-commerce hosting specialist with roots dating back to
2008. The platform was developed around the performance and scalability requirements of demanding online stores, particularly Magento installations that had outgrown conventional shared hosting.
Hipex B.V. developed into a recognizable hosting brand around
2016. Milan Bosman was one of its co-founders, Freek Gruntjes combined the co-founder and chief technology officer roles, and Johan van de Pol served as founder and managing director. The company operated from the Netherlands with a specialized technical team focused on e-commerce infrastructure rather than mass-market hosting.
The company was acquired by
team.blue on June 9, 2021. Hipex subsequently joined
Hypernode, another Dutch e-commerce hosting specialist formerly known as Byte. The Hipex platform, personnel and customers were integrated into Hypernode, and the Hipex brand was fully retired during
2022.
Hipex no longer operates as an independent hosting provider and does not maintain a current catalog of orderable hosting plans. Its technology and e-commerce expertise continue through Hypernode, which is now the relevant provider for new orders, account support and current service conditions.
Before the integration, Hipex concentrated on
managed Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Sylius, Pimcore, Akeneo, Drupal and PHP hosting. Its product range included shared hosting environments, fully managed dedicated servers and customized enterprise clusters.
Shared hosting used resource pools built on physical servers while assigning isolated capacity to individual webshops. Customers received SSD storage, managed security, automated monitoring, daily backups, SSL certificates and application-specific optimization without having to administer the underlying operating system.
The hosting stack included
Varnish, Redis, Elasticsearch and optimized PHP configurations. It was designed for online stores with significant catalog sizes, database activity and visitor traffic. CDN integration, progressive web applications, performance analysis and development tools were also supported.
Dedicated servers provided isolated physical resources for stores that required more processing power, memory and storage than a shared environment could supply. These systems remained fully managed, with operating-system maintenance, security updates, monitoring and web-server configuration handled by the hosting team.
Enterprise clusters separated application and database workloads across multiple servers. Larger environments could include several application nodes, separate database systems, load distribution and customized storage. Hybrid capacity allowed additional resources to be introduced during major campaigns or seasonal traffic peaks.
The development environment supported
SSH, SFTP, deployment workflows, SSH keys, multiple PHP versions, MySQL administration, Node.js, application logs, APIs and CI/CD processes. New Relic and Blackfire integrations provided deeper application profiling and performance analysis.
Security included network and server firewalls, brute-force protection, bot filtering, key-based administrative access and centralized log monitoring. Operating-system updates and urgent security fixes were handled as part of the managed service.
The website supported
Dutch and English, while commercial prices were displayed in
euros. Its interface was modern and responsive, but the remaining Hipex product information is historical and should not be used as a current Hypernode quotation.

ServerionServerion is a Dutch hosting and infrastructure provider founded in
2015, with earlier roots connected to
Xventus Networks / w3Media. The company is privately owned, headquartered in the Netherlands, and connected to
Blue Lemon B.V. as its holding company. Serverion fits better in the technical hosting and infrastructure category than in the simple budget shared-hosting segment, because its portfolio goes far beyond basic websites.
Their service range includes
Domains,
Shared Hosting,
WordPress Hosting,
Magento Hosting,
Laravel Hosting,
Reseller Hosting,
SEO Hosting,
VPS,
Dedicated Servers,
Big Data Servers,
GPU / AI Servers,
Colocation,
PBX / VOIP Hosting,
Blockchain Masternode Hosting,
Tor / Onion Hosting,
RDP Hosting,
Dedicated RDP Farms for AI Agents,
OpenStack Cloud,
Kubernetes,
PowerDNS Hosting,
Backup Services,
R1Soft Licenses,
Server Management, and
Web Development. This is a broad catalog and makes Serverion more suitable for developers, agencies, infrastructure users, privacy-oriented projects, and businesses needing both hosting and server-level services.
Shared hosting is based on SSD-backed web space,
DirectAdmin, free SSL, unlimited mailboxes, antispam, antivirus, MySQL databases, Installatron and 7-day backup restore. WordPress, Magento and Laravel hosting follow a similar structure, with application-specific optimization and Varnish caching on several developer and e-commerce packages. Reseller hosting is white-label oriented and allows customers to divide resources across their own client accounts.
The server portfolio is stronger than the standard shared-hosting side. VPS services use
KVM and
SolusVM, with IPv4/IPv6 allocation, snapshots and optional monitoring depending on plan type. Dedicated servers are available in multiple countries with monthly contracts. Colocation includes rack space, 1 Gbit connectivity, traffic and power statistics, remote reboot and monitoring. Their AI-focused services add GPU servers, Molt / Clawd bot infrastructure, VPS RDP hosting and dedicated RDP farms for AI agents.
The customer-facing pages are mainly in English and include language options such as
Vietnamese, French and German. The design is older and uneven in places, with some pages looking less polished than large enterprise hosting providers. The technical range is clearly stronger than the visual presentation, so customers should confirm exact plan resources, billing terms, location and management level before ordering specialized services.
