01
Why clients choose us
Web hosting is the foundation of your website. A fast site attracts more customers and is found more easily in Google. And a site that is always available never misses a visitor. We monitor the servers, secure them and fine-tune them — so you do not have to worry about server details.
Speed that pays off
Speed affects how many visitors become customers and how well you are found. That is why everything runs on NVMe storage (very fast SSDs) and our fast 10GE network connections.
Always monitored
We monitor the servers, so we keep an eye on the speed and availability of your site.
Locked down tight
We “harden” every server: everything that is not needed is closed off, and whatever is open we keep up to date.
Manage it yourself in Plesk
In the Plesk control panel you manage things such as email addresses, backups and certificates. How to log in to Plesk.
Simply in the Netherlands
Your website and data are stored in Amsterdam, under Dutch law. That provides clarity about privacy.
02
Security first
A well-secured server is the foundation of a secure website. We keep the risks small with several layers of protection that complement each other:
- FirewallsKeep unwanted traffic out.
- fail2banAutomatically blocks anyone who keeps trying to log in.
- Application protectionAn extra shield around the software your website runs on.
- Strict patch policyWe apply security updates consistently and on time.
SSL with Let's Encrypt is part of the standard package. Do higher requirements apply to you? Then we are happy to advise you on OV certificates and the right configuration.
03
Web hosting packages
Four packages, one clear overview. Three Linux and Plesk packages with everything a standard CMS website needs. In addition, a separate HTML package for static files only. All packages run on the same infrastructure and, where applicable, use our fast 10GE connections.
Does your site run on WordPress or Joomla? Then choose Basic, Pro or Inter: they include PHP, MySQL (the database), webmail and Installatron.
An HTML site without a CMS? Then the HTML package is enough: lighter, without PHP, without a database and without email. You then arrange your email via Google or Microsoft 365, for example.

Domain names
A well-chosen domain name makes your business easier to find and looks more professional. We arrange the registration or transfer, usually within 24 hours. If you pay with iDEAL, it can even be immediate.
We always register your domain name in your own (company) name. That way you remain the full owner and stay in control.
- .nl domain name€ 16,50 per year
- .com domain name€ 25,- per year
- .eu domain name€ 25,- per year
- .net domain name€ 25,- per year
- .org domain name€ 30,- per year
You can read how domain name and hosting work together in domain name and DNS explained.
05
SSL certificates
An SSL certificate encrypts everything exchanged between your website and your visitors. The padlock in the address bar builds trust, and search engines reward secure sites with a higher position. If your site processes personal data, SSL is often even mandatory under the GDPR.
Free with every package
Let's Encrypt
The standard certificate: your site runs encrypted via https.
For more assurance
Organisation Validation (OV)
Builds extra trust, because your company details are verified.
You will find more explanation in SSL certificate and https.
