Hosting Industries

What Hosting Industries does

Hostingindustries B.V. is a privately held Dutch web hosting provider headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands, serving Dutch small and medium-sized businesses (MKB), self-employed professionals (ZZP), and individual customers. Founded in 2009 (originating from a 2006 reseller hosting business) and incorporated as a B.V. in 2019, the company operates approximately 25 own servers across two Dutch data centers — Iron Mountain in Haarlem (primary, AMS-IX connected) and Serverius in Dronten (offsite backup). It has registered over 5,000 domain names for customers and is an accredited SIDN registrar since 2011.

The company's product portfolio centers on shared web hosting (five tiers from Starter at €45/year to Excellent at €600/year), supported by domain registration (1,000+ TLDs, €15/year for .nl/.com/.be/.eu), SSL certificates (€65-€175/year), managed VPS and dedicated servers (from €52.50/month), automated Acronis-powered daily backups, SpamExperts email filtering, and a CyberSterk cybersecurity monitoring service distributed via Guardian360 since 2021. The technical stack is conventional shared-hosting infrastructure — Nginx/Apache hybrid, PHP 7.4/8.0/8.1, MariaDB 10+, DirectAdmin — augmented by redundant network architecture (dual HPe switches, Fortinet firewalls) and a geographically separated DNS cluster across Dutch and German data centers.

The business is entirely subscription-based, with revenue generated from annual and monthly recurring fees across hosting, domains, SSL, servers, and security services. Go-to-market is product-led growth through a self-serve website (hostingindustries.nl) with inside-sales support (phone, email, WhatsApp) for custom requirements. The company relies on a partner-driven acquisition model via reciprocal relationships with Dutch web design and online marketing agencies, complemented by Google reviews and ISPconnect/SIDN membership trust signals. Operation is restricted to the Netherlands with no disclosed international expansion, no external funding, and a founder/owner-operated ownership structure.
