Web hosting for businesses in Amsterdam
From tech and SaaS and creative and design to everybody else building in Amsterdam — the local domain, the speed and the support all handled here.
Straight answer first
Businesses in Amsterdam need hosting that opens quickly for the audience they actually have, carries the right domain (.nl earns local trust), and stays up around the clock — none of which needs a server standing in the city itself.
Our plans hand Amsterdam businesses the full kit — speed, SSL, mail, backups and support — with the delivery setup that makes distance beside the point for the way websites are really served.

Backups on every plan
Europe's digital trading post. The AMS-IX exchange, a business culture that switches to English without blinking, and a startup and creative economy far larger than the size of the city suggests.
Against that backdrop, three hosting questions actually matter: the domain that converts locally, the speed your real audience feels, and the reliability that outlasts local conditions. Each gets a section below.
The Amsterdam market, seen from the hosting side
The trades that define this market — tech and SaaS, creative and design, trade and logistics and hospitality — each with its own website habits, and all of them standing on the same foundations: mobile speed, forms that deliver, mail that arrives and a site that is up when somebody checks.
The common thread is the checking moment — a customer, a client or a procurement team opening your site at the instant it counts. Everything on this page exists to make that moment boring, in the best sense of the word.
Domains: what actually converts in Amsterdam
The extension that earns local orders is .nl. Domestic trust in .nl ranks among the highest of any country extension anywhere. Dutch trade converts on it and very little else.
We register and look after the relevant extensions alongside the hosting — one account, one renewal date, and DNS already pointed the right way. The first year of registration is free on annual hosting plans wherever the TLD qualifies.
A straight word about latency
Dutch networks form part of the core European backbone. Our delivery into Amsterdam behaves as though the server were in the next street.
Serving is cache-shaped now. Most visits are handed a page built earlier, and the delivery time is dwarfed by how quickly the platform made and stored it. NVMe, LiteSpeed and honest numbers of accounts per server decide that; the postcode does not.
Reliability, backups and the long run
A site that is up every time somebody checks quietly compounds into reputation — and one that is down at the wrong moment spends that reputation in a single afternoon. Our 99.9% uptime commitment is monitored around the clock, with a daily backup as the safety net and real people on the counter at every hour Amsterdam's businesses keep.
Backups run every day on every plan, and putting a file or a database back takes one click from the panel.
Local trust, worldwide machinery
We host businesses in dozens of countries from infrastructure built for exactly that: cached delivery that is quick everywhere, billing that stays predictable anywhere, and support that never checks the clock before replying.
Real people answer the counter at any hour, including the awkward questions other hosts wave off as out of scope.
- .nl domains stocked and supported
- Cached delivery, quick worldwide
- SSL free, and the move in free too
- Real people on the counter in every timezone

Across the Counter
The questions we get asked most
Dutch or English for a business trading out of Amsterdam?
Both, if we are being honest. Dutch buys you domestic trust, English serves the international half of the city. The bilingual structure is routine, and Amsterdam may be the easiest place in Europe to run it.
We are a design studio. Will the hosting hold up to our portfolio standards?
Image pipelines carry the weight — WebP conversion, lazy loading, NVMe behind the delivery. Exacting portfolios stay quick. Your work arrives at the quality you shot it at, and the loading time never undercuts the craft.
Does the price climb when the term is up?
No. What you pay to order is what you pay to renew, year after year. We do not run teaser rates, so there is no year-two ambush waiting in the calendar, and your bookkeeping can treat the hosting line as a fixed number.
What if the site outgrows the plan I bought?
You move up in place. Plan changes are made from the client area with no migration and no downtime, and the range runs from small shared accounts through VPS to whole dedicated servers. Growing becomes a line change on your account rather than a hunt for a new host.
Can I bring a domain I already own?
Yes, and transfers in are routine. Unlock the name at your present registrar, collect the auth code, then start the transfer from your client area. Whatever registration time is left comes across with it, and DNS keeps answering the whole way through.
Where do the servers actually sit?
Our hosting runs from European datacentres with London at the centre, behind server-level caching that keeps cached pages quick for visitors anywhere. For most sites the build of the platform — NVMe disks, LiteSpeed, sensible numbers of accounts per machine — decides the speed far more than the postcode does.
Does hosting come with mailboxes?
It does — mailboxes on your own domain ship with every hosting plan, with webmail, IMAP, POP and SMTP access and spam filtering fitted as standard. There is also standalone email hosting for domains whose website lives somewhere else entirely.
Packing up and moving host? Take our checklist.
A plain running order for a move nobody notices: what to copy first, how to carry email across without dropping a single message, when to point DNS, and the two slips behind nearly every hour of downtime we get called about.
Whenever you're ready to order.
Quick NVMe hosting, SSL and the move in included, and real people on the counter at any hour — on a price that doesn't shift.
