Most hosting providers charge for software licenses and call it infrastructure. We put that budget into the actual server layer instead.
cPanel costs ~€45/month per server. Plesk is not free either. We run an open source stack — NGINX or OpenResty, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis — and that decision is reflected directly in what you pay.
We handle the move — files, database, email, DNS. The goal is zero surprises on the other side. If something breaks during migration, that is our problem to fix, not yours to troubleshoot.
Standard NGINX reads config. OpenResty runs logic — rate limiting, routing rules, inline WAF, response transformation — directly in the request lifecycle. On Managed Premium, this is part of the platform, not an add-on.
One account hitting limits should not affect the next. We use Linux-level process and resource isolation so your site behaves predictably regardless of what else is running on the same hardware.
We use Hetzner for cost-efficient compute and UpCloud with MaxIOPS where storage latency is the bottleneck. Germany by default. Other locations available when the project needs it.
Start on shared hosting, move to VPS, move to Managed Premium, move to a fully operated application platform. Same provider, same engineering logic, no forced rebuilds.
A shared site at €0.59 and a managed OpenResty platform for a B2B application run on the same underlying logic. The stack scales with the workload. You do not switch providers when the project gets serious.
Talk to usEach tier solves a different problem. Shared hosting for sites that need to run reliably. VPS for teams that need control. Managed for businesses that cannot afford to own the operations layer themselves.
cPanel costs around €45 per server per month. Plesk is not free either. Every platform that wraps the server in a proprietary UI passes that cost on — in the price, in slower response times, or in both. We made a different decision. Our stack is NGINX or OpenResty, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis. Open source, tuned directly, no license renewal required to keep it running.
That engineering decision shows up in what we can offer at €0.59 on the low end and in what OpenResty makes possible at the managed level — request-layer logic, dynamic routing, inline WAF — without paying for an enterprise appliance.
Infrastructure runs on Hetzner and UpCloud from Germany. When a project has specific latency or compliance requirements, other locations are available.

Not features added on top. Decisions made at the foundation.
OpenResty embeds LuaJIT into the request lifecycle. Rate limiting with business logic, dynamic upstream routing, response transformation — handled at the server layer before the application is involved.
Storage latency is where most CMS performance problems actually live. NVMe is not a premium add-on here — it is the baseline across all tiers because the alternative creates problems that are hard to explain to a client.
We run open source software throughout. No cPanel, no Plesk, no Softaculous. The money that would go to licenses goes into better hardware and operational depth instead.
We pick the infrastructure that fits the workload. Hetzner for compute and cost efficiency. UpCloud with MaxIOPS when storage throughput under load is not negotiable. Germany by default, other EU locations by request.
On managed tiers, we handle updates, backups, monitoring, and incident response. Not as a ticket queue — as an operational commitment. The platform runs. That is the job.
If the platform is not the right fit within the first 30 days, we will sort it out under our refund policy. No complicated process.
Shared hosting for sites that need to work without your attention. VPS for teams that need to own the environment. Managed for businesses where the infrastructure has to be someone's responsibility — and that someone should not be a developer on your team.
NGINX, NVMe, Redis — no license overhead. For business sites, blogs, and smaller shops that need to stay fast without a sysadmin.
Smart Web Hosting is the right starting point when you want a fast, stable website without paying for complexity you do not need. It is built for company websites, landing pages, blogs, local business sites, smaller ecommerce projects, and early stage brands that care about performance but still need a simple and predictable operational model.
The foundation is a lean stack built for consistent delivery. NGINX as the front layer, PHP-FPM for controlled execution, and NVMe storage to reduce the storage latency that quietly harms many CMS projects. Hosting plans often talk about CPU and RAM while ignoring the storage layer. Storage latency becomes visible early on dynamic websites because page generation, admin activity, and plugin-heavy workflows produce constant small reads and writes.
There is no cPanel here. No Plesk. No license cost built into what you pay. That is not a limitation — it is why the price is what it is while the underlying stack is what it is.
NVMe is not decoration on a plan table. It directly affects how quickly the server can read and write the small pieces of data that CMS platforms constantly use. Media libraries, plugin settings, post meta, cached fragments, admin actions — all touch the storage layer. When that layer is slow, response times become inconsistent. A website can feel fine during one visit and sluggish during the next at similar traffic levels.
Smart Web Hosting fits customers who want strong performance without becoming their own infrastructure team. Brochure sites, service business websites, product landing pages, content sites, and smaller online shops where response time affects revenue. It is also practical for agencies managing multiple smaller client sites — a clean NGINX and NVMe baseline reduces performance complaints that have nothing to do with the site build.
Find out moreRedis object caching configured for WordPress, not just available. WooCommerce-aware cache bypass so cart and checkout behave correctly under load.
WordPress under real traffic is not the same as WordPress in a staging environment. WooCommerce under real traffic is a different problem again — catalog queries, customer sessions, checkout flows, coupon logic, and background tasks running simultaneously. The shared hosting that worked fine at launch starts showing cracks exactly where the business depends on it.
The real bottlenecks are almost always database pressure and PHP worker saturation. When the database slows, PHP workers wait. When workers wait, concurrency collapses. The store starts producing 502s and 504s while the admin panel becomes unusable for whoever is processing orders. That is an infrastructure problem, and it needs an infrastructure answer.
NGINX at the front handles concurrency without wasting PHP capacity. PHP-FPM pools keep execution controlled. Redis Object Cache reduces repeated database reads — not just enabled, but configured for how WordPress actually behaves. Caching rules account for WooCommerce session logic. Anonymous browsing gets cached. Cart, checkout, and account paths stay dynamic where they must.
Root access on Hetzner or UpCloud. AMD EPYC, NVMe, dedicated resources. For developers and teams that need to control the full environment.
Cloud VPS is the right choice when the team needs to own the full environment. OS, runtime versions, deployment model, firewall policy, service configuration — everything is yours to define. The value is not just root access. It is the absence of platform constraints when the application has specific requirements.
VPS plans run on Hetzner and UpCloud infrastructure in Germany. AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, dedicated resources. UpCloud with MaxIOPS is available when storage throughput under database load is a real concern, not a theoretical one.
Germany is the default. Hetzner and UpCloud operate additional locations across Europe and beyond. If the project has latency requirements or data residency constraints that point elsewhere, that is a conversation worth having.
Security patching, backup strategy, monitoring, and incident response are yours to own. For technical teams, that control is the point. For teams without operational capacity, it becomes a hidden cost that shows up at the worst time. That is why managed tiers exist — not as an upsell, but as a genuine alternative when owning production operations is not the right use of the team's time.
Operated platforms for teams that want self-hosted software without owning the infrastructure layer. Odoo, Mautic, Moodle, Nextcloud, and others — configured and maintained, not just deployed.
Many organisations reach the point where they want to own their software — for data control, integration flexibility, or cost reasons — but do not want a team member owning production operations as a side responsibility. A self-hosted Odoo instance that nobody monitors is not an asset. It is a liability that has not failed yet.
Managed Solutions means the application is operated, not just deployed. Each platform fails in its own way. Odoo suffers when database latency rises and routine operations stall. Mautic breaks when queues drift and email deliverability degrades. Moodle struggles under peak session load. Nextcloud becomes a problem when permissions and sharing policies are poorly handled. Generic managed hosting treats all of these like websites. We do not.
