About us
More than 22,000 customers already trust us. When can we get to know you?
We've basically been on the market since 2009 and hosting was more of a side business for customers whose websites and projects we implemented back then. Over the years, we have worked with countless data centers and hosting companies and increasingly felt the need to do everything that bothered us about them ourselves — to live web hosting for our customers exactly as we would have wished for ourselves.
Your trust in dataforest
Why should I trust Dataforest of all things when it comes to taking responsibility for my business-critical data? Well, we can't make that decision for you. But we can show you who we are, how we work and who we can count among our satisfied customers. We are specialists in what we do for our customers and keep our hands off everything we can't do.
15 years of passion for hosting
We don't hide our story and career path, but view them as part of our DNA, which has shaped dataforest into what it is today and what we are passionate about every day.
Let's discuss your project today and see what we can do for your success with 15 years of hosting expertise.
2009
- Start php-friends.de as a developer blog and first steps with your own hosting projects
- Hosting and web design for small businesses in the area
2010
- Start of our free hosting, which over the years has developed into one of the largest services in Germany
2012
- Takeover of the system administration of the largest German “image hoster” abload.de
- First major DDoS attacks on our services — and that at a time when DDoS protection is invaluable for medium-sized companies. Our passion for DDoS protection grew out of initial necessity.
2013
- Founding of Strauch & Schneider IT GbR
- Start of a free nine-month beta test with the aim of offering vServers based on KVM
2014
- Release of our vServer products - as all beginnings are difficult, we rely on tower servers at the beginning
We have not only experienced the last 15 years of hosting, but have actively helped shape the industry beyond national borders
With our expertise, we support you in setting up your own infrastructure and provide vendor-independent advice — regardless of whether you are planning to set up or modernize a web hosting infrastructure yourself or have other needs for colocation services, network devices and their administration.
