The operating company is Simply.com A/S, Højvangen 4, 8660 Skanderborg, CVR DK29412006. Simply.com states that it is part of team.blue, and team.blue gives its address as Skaldenstraat 121, 9042 Ghent, Belgium, so the owner is a European group. The team.blue about page read for this review does not name the group's investors. Simply.com states that all data is processed and stored in the EU, primarily in Danish data centres with additional facilities across Europe.
Simply.com prices are first-year offers followed by a higher renewal, all excluding VAT: Starter EUR 0.49 then EUR 4.49 per month, Basic EUR 0.49 then EUR 6.99, Standard EUR 0.53 then EUR 13.95, Pro EUR 3.00 then EUR 21.00, Enterprise EUR 4.00 then EUR 32.00. Simply.com gives a 14-day money-back guarantee. Simply.com fits a small site that wants to start almost free; anyone planning beyond year one should compare the renewal price with ALL-INKL.COM and netcup.
