Berlin: hosting sold plainly
From startups and SaaS and creative and music to everybody else building in Berlin — the local domain, the speed and the support all handled here.
Straight answer first
The short answer for Berlin: buy on platform quality and support, register .de for local credibility, and let caching deal with the geography — the way pages are served today makes the datacentre's postcode the least important thing on the list.
Our plans hand Berlin 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.

Europe's startup magnet. An international founder crowd doing business in English, a creative economy that has not quite been priced out yet, and a city whose culture ships itself abroad without being asked.
That is the market this page is written for — what its businesses need from hosting, which domain earns trust locally, and a straight word about geography and speed.
What Berlin businesses need from a website
The local economy turns on startups and SaaS, creative and music, ecommerce brands and agencies — different trades, identical web fundamentals — pages that open at once on a phone, enquiries that actually land, and uptime that never embarrasses anybody.
Whatever the sector, the pattern repeats: customers open the website at the moment of decision, usually on a phone, and judge the business by how that moment goes. Hosting is the invisible half of that judgement.
Local trust begins with the extension
The local answer here is .de. German buyers barely look at anything else, and .de remains one of the largest country extensions on the planet. Selling into the domestic market without it is an uphill trade.
Register it with the hosting and the plumbing arranges itself: DNS pre-pointed, SSL issued the moment it connects, mail on the domain from day one. Transfers in are just as routine when the name already exists elsewhere.
Speed, and the question of distance
Germany falls squarely within our core European envelope. Sub-20ms territory, and cached delivery hides even that.
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
Reliability is the feature nobody notices until it is missing, which is why we commit to 99.9% uptime, monitor without a break, back up daily and staff the counter with real people at all hours. For businesses in Berlin, that is infrastructure doing marketing's quiet work.
Mailboxes on your own domain are part of the plan, never an add-on sold back to you at checkout.
A hosting shop for Berlin businesses
The pattern in every city we serve is the same. Businesses want the site handled — quick, up and secured — while they get on with the trade itself. That is the whole product.
Mailboxes on your own domain are part of the plan, never an add-on sold back to you at checkout.
- .de domains stocked and supported
- Cached delivery, quick worldwide
- SSL free, and the move in free too
- Real people on the counter in every timezone
Why Hosting Seller
On every plan, as standard
Uptime as reputation
99.9% committed and monitored — the site is up every time the market looks, which is how trust builds.
Mail on your own domain
Professional addresses are included, so enquiries get answered from the domain the customer just visited.
The local domain, handled
.de registered, pointed and renewed alongside the hosting — one account and no loose ends.
Quick where your customers are
Cached NVMe delivery makes the site immediate at the moment of checking — phone, desk or procurement office.
Support in your hours
People answering at every hour means your timezone is never the wrong one — problems get picked up when they happen.
The move in costs nothing
Hosted elsewhere? We carry the site over free, with nothing going dark and your sign-off before the switch.

Get the domain secured
Register .de, or transfer one in — it is the extension that earns local trust, and the first year is free on qualifying annual plans.
- 2
Build fresh or bring it over
New site: an evening with the installer or the Website Builder. Existing site: one migration ticket and a day's patience while we do the rest.
- 3
Go live, and stay live
From launch onward the maintenance is ours: certificates, backups, monitoring and support. The content and the customers stay yours.

Across the Counter
The questions we get asked most
German customers expect an Impressum and real privacy discipline. Is that supported?
Completely. Legal pages are ordinary content under your control, SSL is issued automatically, and EU-based infrastructure run by a UK-registered company keeps the data-handling conversation short when your lawyer asks for it.
English-first startup or German-first shop — which domain should lead here?
That question is Berlin in miniature. International products put .com in front and hold .de in reserve; a German-market shop leads with .de. Buy both on day one. They cost little and settle the argument either way.
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.
How quickly can I be up and running?
Minutes, not days. The account opens the moment the order clears, the domain — free for year one on annual plans — attaches straight away, and the one-click installer puts WordPress or any of 400+ applications on the page before you leave your chair. Already have a site elsewhere? Hand it over and we move it free, usually inside a day.
Can I test changes somewhere safe first?
Yes — plans with staging let you clone the live site, work on the copy, then push it across when you are satisfied. It is the difference between hoping an update behaves and knowing that it does before any customer meets it.
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.
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.
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.
Give your website a proper home.
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.
