Peppix

What Peppix does

Peppix Benelux is a Dutch managed IT services company headquartered in Zwolle, Netherlands, founded in 2013 and operating with a team of 1–10 employees. The company delivers web hosting, Google Workspace management, Office 365 implementation, VPS infrastructure, and ActiveCollab project management hosting and support to small and medium-sized businesses, healthcare organizations, and ANBI-registered nonprofits across the Benelux. Peppix is a certified Google Partner since 2014 and an ActiveCollab provider in the Netherlands since 2015.

The core technology stack is built on AWS and Azure infrastructure, wrapped with managed services including AWS CloudFront CDN, Cloudflare DNS and DDoS protection, Let's Encrypt SSL, performance optimization tooling (Opcache, REDIS, Varnish, Load Balancers), and 24/7 server monitoring. The proprietary layer is a service and workflow package — migrations, WhatsApp-based support, a Mijn Peppix self-service portal, 150+ YouTube tutorial videos, and a single-point-of-contact specialist model (Noëll Taravati) — rather than original technology. Products are organized as recurring subscriptions billed on 4-week cycles with daily-cancellable contracts.

Peppix generates revenue through a mix of recurring subscriptions (WordPress hosting, VPS tiers from €7.50 to €120 per 4 weeks, Google Workspace at €8–€31 per user per 4 weeks, ActiveCollab hosting at €179–€379 per 4 weeks) and professional services (€80/hour consulting, ActiveCollab installation at €1,600, nonprofit migration packages starting at €229). A €50-per-customer referral program and a discounted ANBI nonprofit program with donated licensing from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Hotjar round out the model. To date, the company states it has migrated 500+ organizations and maintains a 4.65/5 average satisfaction rating across 180 customer reviews.

Direct peers

• Antagonist: Dutch web hosting and domain registration provider headquartered in the Netherlands. Directly comparable to Peppix across WordPress hosting, VPS, and managed services for the Benelux SMB market, with similar customer-facing ethos and pricing tier structure.
• Cloud86: Dutch managed hosting provider focused on WordPress, WooCommerce, and VPS on its own infrastructure. A direct Dutch SMB competitor to Peppix with comparable managed-services positioning.
• Hostnet: Dutch hosting, domain, and email provider serving SMBs. Overlaps directly with Peppix on WordPress/web hosting, domain registration, and email packages in the Netherlands.
• Yourhosting: Large Dutch hosting provider offering web hosting, VPS, domains, and email. Comparable to Peppix across core hosting categories in the Benelux SMB market, but at significantly greater scale.
