Our Story
Hostway Deutschland – in the market since 1997
As one of the early internet pioneers, we took a crucial part in the development of the internet in Germany.
Foundation
- It all began with Server-Service and the provision of a wide range of internet services in 1997 – a time when in Germany less than 10% of the population had access to the internet. Even businesses had not wasted many thoughts on the global network that was emerging. The company developed as fast as the internet made its entrance into the business world. We first provided and supported all services out of one of the first colocation data centers in Frankfurt.
- In 2002 we first moved into data center footprint in Hannover, after the infrastructure connectivity of the location on the German backbone ring was extended accordingly, to be able to handle the massive traffic volume. A 24/7 data center operation with technical staff on site and the support of the customer systems with fast response times was one of our quality features after we moved the company headquarter to the offices that were attached to the data center space.
- Server-Service joined the Hostway Corporation in 2005, one of the largest international Hosting companies and later rebranded into Hostway Deutschland. We thereby extended our technical expertise, our product and service portfolio, as well as our customer base, which increasingly included international and global enterprises. We extended our infrastructure by taking over three additional independently supplied data centers on the premises, which have enabled us to provide high availability and disaster recovery solutions, involving different locations.
- Since 2012 Hostway Deutschland has become an independent German company again. We continue to successfully implement and support joint international projects and customers in the context of a strategic partnership within the Hostway network.
- Through the autonomous operation of independent data centers that are linked together on the same network, paired with specialized technical staff on site on a 24/7 basis, we have been able to provide and support complex solutions with very high availability and customized service levels.
