Website hosting for Construction & Engineering

Custom European Hosting for Construction & Engineering companies — built to measure, not off the shelf.

European Hosting for Construction & Engineering: the sector and its challenges.

Construction & engineering — an industry that builds the Netherlands, often with a website from 2014. We build digital presence for construction and engineering companies that finally shows what they can do.

With huge housing shortages and infrastructure projects, Dutch construction is booming. But their digital presence has not kept pace with their growth. This is an opportunity for companies willing to invest in how they present themselves online.

The digital bottlenecks in the Construction & Engineering sector

  • Website not updated for years — and it shows
  • No project portfolio to showcase completed work to potential clients
  • Poor mobile experience — ironic for an industry working entirely on location
  • No SEO presence for local service searches
  • Quote process that is just an email address and too reliant on word of mouth
Why Construction & Engineering companies choose European Hosting

Construction and engineering companies do complex, impressive work — but their websites rarely reflect that. Your competitor has a better website. That doesn’t mean they do better work — it means they present it better. Custom means showing your work your way.

Hosting in Europe — by the team that built your site

Most hosting providers don’t know what runs on their servers. We do — because we built it. Every project we deliver runs on our own Hetzner Cloud infrastructure in Europe. Self-hosted, fully managed, with no black boxes.

That means: no dependence on American platforms. No GDPR risks with data outside Europe. No price hikes from a hosting provider you don’t even know. And no support tickets ending up with someone other than the people who know your site.

What’s included

Hetzner Cloud servers in Germany or Finland. Docker containerization per project — fully isolated. Cloudflare CDN & DDoS protection always active. SSL certificates managed and automatically renewed. Daily automated off-site backups. Performance monitoring with immediate alerts on issues. Media optimization via our own image pipeline.

All included with every project we build. No extra hosting contract, no external party, no handoff.

Who is this for?

For companies that understand hosting is more than just a server. That take GDPR seriously and want to keep data in Europe. That prefer to call the team who knows their product rather than submit a ticket to an anonymous helpdesk.

Frequently asked questions about European Hosting for Construction & Engineering

Waar staan mijn data en servers?
Wij draaien op Hetzner Cloud-servers in Duitsland en Finland. Jouw data verlaat de EU niet en voldoet aan de AVG en GDPR.
Waarom niet AWS of Vercel?
AWS-rekeningen zijn onvoorspelbaar en Vercel kan morgen de prijzen verhogen. Wij beheren onze eigen servers — vaste kosten, volledige controle, geen afhankelijkheid van derden.
Kan ik ook alleen hosting afnemen?
Hosting is inbegrepen bij elk project dat wij bouwen. We hosten geen externe sites — omdat we alleen kunnen garanderen wat we zelf kennen.
Wat zit er standaard inbegrepen?
Dagelijkse backups, Cloudflare CDN, SSL, uptime monitoring en Docker-containerisatie zitten standaard inbegrepen.
