Why not Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Pay for email, not an entire productivity suite
For many businesses, the question is not whether Google and Microsoft are good products. The question is whether you actually need to buy the whole stack.
| What matters | 1ahosting | Google / Microsoft |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting location | European hosting | Global infrastructure |
| Support | Direct technical support | Tiered support |
| Scope | Email-focused | Large productivity suite |
| Redundancy | Optional redundant infrastructure | Vendor-managed |
| Pricing model | From less than €1 per mailbox | Typically several times higher per user |
Some customers run hundreds of mailboxes on our infrastructure while maintaining direct support and predictable costs.

Hosting management
Manage sites, services and server-level settings without a generic reseller layer.
Application tools
Practical tooling for WordPress, deployments and the daily work of running a business site.

Full control. Zero babysitting.
Root access. Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. KVM virtualisation — true hardware isolation. RunCloud pre-configured and ready to go, or skip it and do it your way. SSH in and own your machine.
