The company delivers a portfolio of managed hosting and cloud services to Dutch small and medium businesses (MKB) and enterprise (grootzakelijk) customers, with the entire infrastructure hosted in the Netherlands under documented GDPR/AVG compliance. Its product set comprises dedicated Linux/Windows servers, cloud backup (100GB-10TB) supporting WebDAV/SMB/IPSec, cloud collaboration services built on Nextcloud SAAS, managed WordPress hosting with automatic updates, a Proxmox-based mail gateway for spam and virus protection, and advanced mail solutions; the most recent additions are a hosted Mastodon server (November 2022) and a WordPress hosting package (January 2022). The technology stack is based on conventional open-source virtualization and SaaS platforms (Nextcloud, Proxmox) layered with the company's own managed-service wrapper, rather than proprietary infrastructure.
