What Filoo does

Filoo GmbH was a German managed hosting provider offering Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Colocation services to business customers in Germany. Its core product portfolio included Managed Hosting, Managed vServer/VPS, Managed Dedicated Server, Managed Kubernetes, Virtual Data Center, S3 Storage Pro, and security services such as Managed DDoS-Protection and Nessus-based Vulnerability Scanning, distributed through a German-language self-service portal (now CloudPit) and direct enterprise sales. Following a legal merger (Verschmelzung) in July 2023, Filoo GmbH ceased to exist as an independent entity and was absorbed into dogado GmbH, which became the legal successor and continues all Filoo services unchanged under the dogado brand. The combined platform extends beyond Filoo's original infrastructure scope into WordPress hosting, Shopware e-commerce hosting, Microsoft 365/Exchange, domain and SSL services, NIS2 compliance consulting, and a KI & Automatisierung (AI & Automation) hosting line covering OpenClaw Server, Hermes Agent Server, and n8n hosting. dogado GmbH, with nearly 20 years of operating history, positions itself as one of the leading Cloud & Hosting companies in Europe and holds ISO 27001 certification, which it leverages to address GDPR-compliant, data-residency-sensitive German SMB and mid-market customers through a platform-plus-addon pricing model and a recommendation/partner program.
