What VIP Internet does

VIP Internet, operating commercially as Yourhosting, is a Netherlands-based web hosting and domain registration provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Nijmegen. The company serves over 344,000 Dutch entrepreneurs and small businesses and manages more than 1.38 million domain names across 900+ extensions, positioning itself as a one-stop online presence platform for the Dutch SMB market. Its product portfolio spans shared web hosting (Start/Plus/Max tiers), VPS and Managed VPS, business email, Microsoft 365 reselling (including Exchange Online, Teams, and Copilot for Business), SSL certificates, Acronis backup, Premium DNS, and website-building tools including the SmartStart AI WordPress Builder, YourWebsite drag-and-drop editor, YourWebshop, and WooCommerce — supported by the ServicePlus premium support package (free migration, installation help, monthly webmaster hour, hack repair, and YourAdvice consulting).

The underlying platform runs on CO2-neutral Dutch data centers, uses the Plesk control panel as standard across hosting plans, integrates Imunify security as a baseline feature, and is ISO 27001 certified. Technology partners include Microsoft (core reseller), Plesk (core control panel), Imunify (core security), and Acronis and Spam Experts (minor integrations). The company markets through content (knowledge base, AI Business Hub, blog, whitepapers), organic SEO, social channels, email, and earned-media review platforms, reaching a 4.1/5 average across 12,553 customer reviews.

The business model is subscription-based recurring revenue across domains, hosting, email, and add-ons, with heavy promotional pricing (up to 75% off hosting, .nl domains at €0.10 first year, 100% off email hosting) used to drive top-of-funnel volume. Distribution is exclusively domestic Dutch via a self-serve e-commerce storefront and customer portal, supplemented by an inside-sales overlay for complex and larger deployments. Go-to-market is product-led growth aimed at non-technical Dutch SMB owners, with the AI website builder positioned as the primary differentiator against hyperscale cloud and adjacent Dutch hosting competitors.
