Berlin: hosting for the local market
From startups and SaaS and creative and music to everyone else building in Berlin — hosting with the local domain, the speed and the support handled.
The short answer
The short answer for Berlin: pick hosting on platform quality and support, register .de for local credibility, and let caching handle the geography — modern delivery makes the datacentre's postcode the least important variable.
Our plans give Berlin businesses the full stack — speed, SSL, email, backups, support — with the delivery architecture that makes distance irrelevant for the way websites are actually served.

Europe's startup magnet — an international founder scene working in English, a creative economy priced out of nowhere yet, and a city whose culture exports itself.
That's the market this page is written for — what its businesses need from hosting, which domain earns local trust, and an honest word about geography and speed.
What Berlin businesses need online
The local economy runs on startups and SaaS, creative and music, ecommerce brands and agencies — different trades, identical web fundamentals: pages that load instantly on phones, enquiries that arrive, and uptime that never embarrasses anyone.
Whatever the sector, the pattern repeats: customers check the website at the moment of decision, usually from a phone, and judge the business by how that moment goes. Hosting is the invisible half of that judgement.
Local trust starts with the extension
The local answer is .de. .de is one of the world's largest ccTLDs and German customers barely trust anything else — domestic commerce without it fights uphill.
Register it with the hosting and the plumbing arranges itself — DNS pre-pointed, SSL automatic on connection, email on the domain from day one. Transfers in are equally routine if the domain already exists elsewhere.
Speed and the geography question
Germany sits in our core European envelope — sub-20ms territory, invisible behind cached delivery.
Modern serving is cache-shaped — most visits receive pre-built pages whose delivery time is dwarfed by how fast the platform produced and stored them. NVMe, LiteSpeed and honest server density decide that; the postcode doesn't.
Reliability, backups and the long game
Reliability is the feature nobody notices until its absence — which is why we commit to 99.9% uptime, monitor continuously, back up daily and staff support with real people at every hour. For businesses in Berlin, that's infrastructure doing marketing's quiet work.
Business email on your own domain is included, not sold back as an add-on.
An ally for Berlin businesses
The pattern across every city we serve is the same: businesses want the site handled — fast, up, secure — while they run the actual business. That's the entire product.
Business email on your own domain is included, not sold back as an add-on.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
German customers expect an Impressum and privacy rigour — supported?
Fully — legal pages are ordinary content you control, SSL is automatic, and EU-based infrastructure with a UK-registered company keeps the data-handling conversation straightforward for your counsel.
English-first startup or German-first commerce — which domain leads?
Berlin's split personality in one question — international products lead .com with .de held; German-market commerce leads .de. Hold both from day one; they're cheap insurance either way.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — try the hosting properly and if it doesn't fit, the refund process is a request, not a retention gauntlet. Domain registrations are the one standard carve-out, since registries make those non-refundable the moment they're placed.
How long does it take to get started?
Minutes — hosting activates on payment, the domain (free for year one on annual plans) connects immediately, and one-click installers put WordPress or 400+ other apps live the same sitting. If you have an existing site, our team migrates it free, usually within 24 hours.
Which control panel do you provide?
cPanel — the industry standard, which means every tutorial on the internet matches your screen, your backups restore anywhere cPanel runs, and skills learned here transfer for life. Plesk and DirectAdmin options exist on specific plans for those who prefer them.
What does your 24/7 support actually cover?
Real people at every hour, and a scope that includes the practical questions — email setup, DNS, WordPress issues, restores — not just 'the server is up, ticket closed'. Pre-sales questions are welcome too; ask us something difficult and judge the reply.
Is SSL really included at no cost?
On every plan, with no exceptions — certificates are issued automatically when your domain points to us and renew themselves before expiry. The encryption is identical to paid DV certificates; paid tiers exist only for wildcard convenience or organisation-level validation.
