Profi Webspace

What Profi Webspace does

Profi Webspace UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is a privately held German web hosting provider founded in 2014 and headquartered in Muggensturm, Germany. The company operates a self-service, direct-to-consumer business focused on entry-level and mid-tier web hosting, domain registration across more than 300 TLDs, and SSL certificate resale (Comodo paid, Let's Encrypt free). Its product portfolio consists of five tiered hosting packages — Visitenkarte 2, Entry-Pack 2, Premium-Pack 2, Profi-Pack 2, and Power-Pack 2 — ranging from 5 GB to 100 GB of storage, with monthly prices from €1.25 to €12.99 plus a €4.90 one-time setup fee.

The underlying technology is a conventional open-source LAMP-class stack: Linux (Debian), Apache HTTP Server with Google's mod_pagespeed, PHP FastCGI, MariaDB 10.3+, Memcached, BIND for DNS, Postfix for SMTP, and Dovecot for IMAP/POP3. Infrastructure runs on SSD-equipped x86 servers hosted in two German data centers (Nuremberg and Falkenstein im Vogtland) with multi-redundant connectivity including 300 GBit/s DE-CIX and 100 GBit/s AMS-IX peering. Email hosting is bundled with packages and includes unlimited mailboxes, DKIM signing, Perfect Forward Secrecy, SpamAssassin filtering, greylisting, and Roundcube webmail.

Revenue mechanics are purely recurring subscription with monthly billing, supplemented by domain registration and SSL certificate fees. The go-to-market is exclusively website-driven self-service with no field sales, resellers, or channel partners; customer support runs through a ticket system and FAQ. The company targets a horizontal SMB/individual segment — small businesses, freelancers, and price-sensitive website owners — alongside a secondary technical user segment needing SSH access and multi-language development support. The company serves all 27 EU member states on paper, though infrastructure remains Germany-centric. No AI features are present in the product.
