Core offering

Oxilion provides domain name registration and management, a tiered portfolio of web hosting (Basic, Business, WordPress, VPS and Cloud Server), business email hosting, and resold Microsoft 365 plans, all delivered from ISO-certified Dutch data centers with personal human support. Customers self-serve order, configure and manage services via the Mijn Oxilion portal, with optional managed-service tiers (ServicePlus), backup add-ons and SSL certificates (free Let's Encrypt or paid Sectigo/Comodo).

Product overview

Oxilion is a Dutch hosting provider offering a portfolio of related products rather than a single unified platform: domain registration and management, multiple tiers of web hosting, business e-mail, managed Microsoft 365, security/SSL and backup add-ons. The portfolio centers on the shared hosting line (Basic hosting, Business hosting and the managed WordPress hosting packages), which can be expanded into VPS hosting, Cloud Server and the ServicePlus managed-service tier. Around that hosting core Oxilion bundles complementary modules: SSL certificates (free Let's Encrypt and paid Comodo/Sectigo), Patchman vulnerability scanning, the Installatron one-click installer, the AccelerateWP and Redis performance stack on LiteSpeed Enterprise, server and endpoint back-up services, and a free .nl control and domain-redirect service. Business e-mail is offered either as sovereign e-mail hosting or as resold Microsoft 365 plans (Business Basic, Business Standard, Business) plus a Microsoft 365 back-up add-on. Everything is administered through the Mijn Oxilion self-service portal, which exposes DNS management, account creation, hosting upgrades and direct login into the Plesk or DirectAdmin control panels. Oxilion, founded in 2000 and part of the Interstellar IT network, markets itself on personal support and ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and ISO 14001 certified Dutch datacenters.
