Amsterdam: hosting, answered plainly
From SaaS and marketplaces and graphic design and creative studios to everybody else building something in Amsterdam: the local name, the speed and the support all run off one account.
The short answer
A Amsterdam business wants three things from hosting: pages that arrive quickly for its real audience, the ending locals trust (.nl), and uptime that holds day and night — and none of the three needs a server inside the city limits.
Our plans put the whole kit in front of Amsterdam businesses — speed, SSL, mail, copies and support — served through a delivery layer built to make distance beside the point.

AMS-IX made the city a junction of the European internet, and the business culture slips into English mid-sentence without noticing. Trading far beyond the country's size are design studios, SaaS teams and a logistics industry built on Schiphol and Rotterdam.
With the scene set, three hosting questions carry the weight: which ending converts at home, how quick the site feels to your real audience, and the reliability that rides out local conditions. Each has a section below.
Amsterdam's market, seen from the server room
The trades this market runs on — SaaS and marketplaces, graphic design and creative studios, logistics and freight and hotels and bars — each with its own habits online, yet all standing on the same foundations: speed on a phone, forms that reach a person, mail that lands, and a site awake whenever anybody looks.
What links them is the look-up moment — a customer, a client or a procurement panel opening your site right when it counts. This page exists so that moment passes without incident, every single time.
Which ending genuinely converts in Amsterdam
The ending that wins local orders is .nl. Very few country endings anywhere hold the domestic loyalty .nl does, since Dutch buyers reach for it first and read a bare .com as a foreign company. There is a reason it is one of Europe's highest-penetration namespaces.
The relevant endings are registered and renewed beside the hosting, on one account with one renewal date and DNS pointed properly from the outset. Where the TLD qualifies, an annual hosting plan covers the first year of registration.
Latency, answered honestly
Dutch networks sit on Europe's core backbone a few milliseconds from our London datacentre, and delivery behaves as though the server were one canal away.
Modern serving turns on the cache. A typical visit receives a page built earlier, and the delivery time is small beside how quickly the platform generated and stored it. What settles it is NVMe, LiteSpeed and a sensible number of accounts per server, rather than the map reference.
Dependability, copies and staying power
Every time the site is up when somebody looks, reputation gains a little — and one badly timed outage can spend the lot in an afternoon. Our 99.9% uptime target runs under constant monitoring, with a daily copy beneath it and people on support through every hour Amsterdam's businesses keep.
A copy is taken daily on every plan, and putting a file or a database back is one click in the panel rather than a support ticket.
Arranged for the way Amsterdam does business
What every market we serve asks for is the same, Amsterdam included: make the site quick, keep it up, keep it protected, and then leave the owner alone to run the business. That is the entire product.
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan — mail is included, not sold back to you at the checkout.
- .nl registered and renewed alongside the plan
- Cached pages that stay quick at distance
- SSL free, the move free, set-up free
- Engineers on shift whatever your timezone
Why Hosting & Domains
Standard on every plan
One USD price, wherever you invoice from
Billing runs in USD at a rate that renews as it stands, which means next year's hosting line is a number your accounts already hold.
Mail that carries your own name
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan, so a reply reaches the customer from the same name they typed into the address bar.
Uptime with a figure behind it
We hold a 99.9% uptime target and put a pro-rated credit back on the account if a month falls short — a figure you can quote in a tender, not a slogan.
The move billed at nothing
Hosted elsewhere today? The whole site comes across free of charge, carried by our engineers, serving visitors the entire time, and DNS only moves once you have signed it off.
Quick on the connection buyers actually have
With LiteSpeed caching over NVMe storage the page exists before the request arrives, whether that request comes from a phone in Amsterdam traffic, a desk, or a procurement laptop.
One account for the name and the hosting
Your .nl sits on the same account as the hosting, registered, pointed and renewed there, with DNS aimed correctly before anybody has to ask.

Frequently Asked
The questions that come up most
Run from Amsterdam — Dutch, English, or the pair?
Both, honestly. Dutch wins the domestic trust and English serves the international half of the city, and the bilingual structure is routine work. Nowhere in Europe is that split more ordinary than here.
Is the hosting good enough for a design studio?
The image pipeline carries the load, with WebP conversion, correct sizing, lazy loading and NVMe beneath. Demanding portfolios stay quick, and the work arrives at the resolution it left at.
Will the renewal cost more than the first term?
No. The rate you order at is the rate you renew at, year after year. There is no introductory teaser here, so no second-year jump is waiting — the hosting line stays a fixed figure your accounts can plan around.
What happens when I outgrow the plan?
You upgrade 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 full dedicated machines. Growth becomes a setting on the account rather than a search for a new host.
