What Greenwebspace does

GreenWebspace generates revenue primarily through recurring subscriptions: web hosting tiers (Green:Hosting Standard from €4.31/month net, Green:Hosting PRO with LiteSpeed, Green:Mail Only), domain registration across 400+ TLDs (.at, .de, .com, .eu, .wien), Nextcloud-based cloud office subscriptions (from €5/month), Green:Comm video conferencing packages, and high-availability vServer rentals. Ancillary revenue comes from professional services ('Rent a Web-Admin' at €100/hour), fixed-fee support tasks (€10–25), and a reseller program enabling white-label distribution. The go-to-market combines a self-serve e-commerce storefront (clientarea.greenwebspace.com) with inside-sales consultation via the helpdesk for business bundles, supplemented by an affiliate/partner program and reseller channel. The team comprises 1-10 employees led by founder Roger Riedmatten, operating as a bootstrapped, founder-led SME with no disclosed external funding, targeting values-aligned customers seeking GDPR compliance, EU data residency, and verifiable sustainability credentials rather than competing on price with hyperscale providers.
