Every European web hosting tool reviewed
Espelkamp, Germany
Founded 2003
Webhosting S EUR 13, M EUR 19 and L EUR 36 per month, excluding VAT, with a one-month contract term and no setup fee
Free test offered on the hosting pages; the length is not stated on the pages read
Best for: Agencies and freelancers who want German hosting in the provider's own data centre on monthly terms
mittwald is a German web host from Espelkamp that sells managed web hosting, virtual servers and dedicated servers, and its own site addresses agencies and freelancers first. mittwald was founded in 2003 by Robert Meyer, who leads the company together with Florian Jürgens, and the company page gives a headcount of 200 for 2025. mittwald web hosting comes in three sizes measured in computing resources: Webhosting S with 1 vCPU, 1 GiB RAM and 20 GiB storage, Webhosting M with 1 vCPU, 2 GiB RAM and 40 GiB, and Webhosting L with 2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM and 60 GiB. mittwald states a 99.99% uptime figure for all three plans.
The operating company is Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, registered at the Amtsgericht Bad Oeynhausen under HRA 6640, with Robert Meyer Verwaltungs GmbH as general partner. mittwald states that all hosting runs in its own data centre in Germany, that the company built that data centre in Espelkamp in 2011, and that it runs entirely on electricity from renewable sources; waste heat from the servers heats one of the mittwald offices. mittwald states ISO 27001 certification.
mittwald charges EUR 13 per month for Webhosting S, EUR 19 for M and EUR 36 for L, all excluding VAT, with a one-month contract term and a setup fee of EUR 0.00. mittwald advertises free testing, though the pages read do not give its length. mittwald is the right pick for professional projects that need a short commitment and a single German operator. Someone with one private website will pay noticeably more at mittwald than at ALL-INKL.COM or netcup.
What mittwald does well
- mittwald hosts in its own data centre in Germany, built at the Espelkamp site in 2011
- mittwald states ISO 27001 certification
- mittwald web hosting has a one-month contract term and no setup fee
- mittwald names its founder and both leaders and describes no outside parent group
- mittwald states that its data centre runs 100% on electricity from renewable sources
Where mittwald falls short
- mittwald is the most expensive entry plan among the euro-priced hosts here at EUR 13 per month before VAT
- mittwald quotes prices excluding VAT, so consumer prices are higher than shown
- The length of the mittwald free test is not stated on the pages read
- mittwald Webhosting S includes 20 GiB of storage, less than the entry plans of ALL-INKL.COM and netcup
Standout feature. mittwald combines an owner-led German company, its own data centre in Espelkamp, ISO 27001 and a one-month term, which is the clearest ownership and hosting picture of the eleven hosts.

Uberspace is a small hosting platform from Mainz that has operated since 2010 and describes itself as an owner-managed European company of about a dozen people.
Uberspace is built for people who work in a terminal: every account has SSH and SFTP access, an Apache web server with Let's Encrypt certificates, PHP, Python, Ruby, .NET Core and NodeJS, MySQL databases, a basic mail setup and daily and weekly backups.

Uberspace is formally a sole proprietorship: the imprint names Jonas Pasche, Kaiserstr. 15, 55116 Mainz, with VAT ID DE220282611.
Uberspace states that it owns and maintains all of its server hardware, buys servers from Thomas-Krenn in Germany, runs its data centres on renewable energy and does not outsource customer data to American cloud companies. The pages read do not name the data centre location, and a sole proprietorship means one named person is liable rather than a company with share capital.
Uberspace has no fixed price. The customer chooses a monthly contribution and the page suggests EUR 6 as a budget amount, EUR 9 as standard and EUR 12 as solidary, adjustable each month.
The first month is free, there is no contract period, and an account that is not topped up is deactivated. Uberspace fits developers and personal projects; it is a weaker fit for buyers who need a company contract with a legal entity, a certification or a service level agreement.

It also runs a separate network from a data centre in Fremont, California.
Web hosting prices are listed excluding VAT, from GBP 2.50 per month for Web 25 to GBP 10 for Web 100 and GBP 40 for Web 400.
Daily backups are taken, and Mythic Beasts guarantees a restore to a state no more than 36 hours before a server failure. The pages read state no trial or refund period, and the hosting terms read do not give the governing law. Mythic Beasts suits developers and technical owners; buyers who want a bundled, graphical shared-hosting offer will find less.
What Mythic Beasts does well
- Mythic Beasts states that it is privately owned, with more than 90% of shares held by its founders
- Mythic Beasts is a registered company at Companies House, incorporated in 2000
- Mythic Beasts places all hosting servers in UK data centres
- Mythic Beasts includes unlimited domains and mailboxes in every web plan
- Mythic Beasts says its data centres buy as much renewable energy as they use
Where Mythic Beasts falls short
- Mythic Beasts is outside the EU, which an EU-only contract clause will not accept
- Mythic Beasts quotes prices excluding VAT and in pounds sterling only
- No trial or refund period is stated on the pages read
- Mythic Beasts also operates a separate network from a US data centre in Fremont
Standout feature. Mythic Beasts is a founder-owned Cambridge company that keeps shell access, unlimited domains and UK-hosted servers on every web hosting plan.
Munich, Germany
Founded 1993
SpaceNet publishes no prices for its hosting, cloud or colocation services on the pages read. Offers are made after a non-binding consultation. The general terms state a default contract period of one year with automatic one-year renewal and one month's notice, unless the product description says otherwise.
Best for: Business sites needing managed, high-availability hosting in Munich
SpaceNet is not a shared web host in the sense of the other tools on this page. It is a Munich managed service provider that began in 1993 and now describes itself as a full-service IT partner with more than 100 specialists and around 1,200 business customers. Its relevant offer here is managed hosting for webshops, news platforms and ad-financed sites that must not go down, built as redundant environments with emergency servers.
The hosting runs in SpaceNet's own data centres in Munich, which the company states are certified to EN 50600 and ISO 27001, the latter since 2013. The imprint names a German stock corporation registered in Munich, so the contracting entity is clearly German. SpaceNet announced on 13 October 2026 that the AG is converting to a GmbH with unchanged contracts.
There is no price list, plan table or sign-up page on the pages read. Offers follow a consultation, and the general terms set a default one-year contract with automatic renewal. Compared with mittwald, ALL-INKL.COM or Hostpoint, SpaceNet suits a company that wants an operator to run a critical site, not someone who wants cheap space for a small website.
What SpaceNet does well
- Own data centres in Munich certified to EN 50600 and ISO 27001
- Operates in Germany under a German entity with a long track record since 1993
- 24/7 support and a managed service model that takes over operations
- Redundant environments and emergency servers for high-load or ad-financed sites
- Unlimited liability for gross negligence stated in the general terms
Where SpaceNet falls short
- No public prices, plans or self-service ordering on the pages read
- Not a classic shared hosting product with control panel and mailboxes
- Default contract period is one year with automatic renewal, against one month at mittwald or ALL-INKL.COM
- No free trial found, and the legal form is changing from AG to GmbH with a holding restructuring planned for 2027
Standout feature. A Munich managed provider with EN 50600 data centres that runs business-critical sites for you, quoted on request.
