Localhosting

What Localhosting does

Localhosting is a privately held Dutch web agency founded in 2003 and headquartered in Schin op Geul (Valkenburg aan de Geul), Netherlands. The company provides turnkey website design, webshop development, hosting, domain registration, email, print design, and digital flipbook publishing services, with a stated portfolio of 943+ websites, 100+ webshops, and 2,136 registered domain names accumulated over 22+ years of operation.

The technical stack is built on the Joomla content management system for website content, PrestaShop for e-commerce webshop functionality, and self-operated server infrastructure for hosting, email, SSL, and backups. The platform is extended with a suite of vertical-specific modules including Menukaart (restaurant menus), Fotoalbum (photo galleries), Eten Bestel (online food ordering), Tijdslot Reserveer (time-slot reservations), and Occassion (second-hand vehicle/equipment listings). Integrations include iDEAL payment processing for Dutch e-commerce, Google Maps and search engine submission, Microsoft Excel product import, and FlippingBook digital publishing.

The business model combines one-time design fees (€350-€1,000 depending on MKB vs. Corporate tier and website vs. webshop) with recurring annual hosting subscriptions (€35-€450/year across email, website, webshop, and corporate tiers with live monitoring) plus transactional revenue from print materials. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the company website, portfolio showcase, online quote forms, and phone inquiries. The customer base is concentrated in Dutch SMBs — starters, sole proprietorships, small foundations, restaurants, and local service businesses — with no disclosed enterprise anchors or external funding. The company employs 1-10 people and operates exclusively in the Netherlands.
