About us
Service, performance, and expertise at the highest level – that's HOST-X.
Data Center & Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade hosting from Germany
If you're looking for a mass-market hosting provider with rock-bottom prices, we're afraid you've come to the wrong place! But if you want SERVICE AND EXPERTISE at the highest level, you've come to exactly the right place ;-)
Our data centers are fully climate-controlled and equipped with dual-redundant cooling. The average annual temperature is 22.0° Celsius. The entire backbone uses fiber-optic technology (10 Gbit) and is certified according to DIN EN50173.
The HOST-X data centers exclusively run UNIX/Linux servers. You can, of course, colocate your own server in one of our data centers (colocation).
We favor short communication paths, transparent processes, and personal support over anonymous mass processing. Experienced administrators oversee monitoring, updates, and security measures so that your projects remain stable, perform well, and always have clearly identified contacts.
