Website hosting for Healthcare & Welfare

Self-hosted European infrastructure on Hetzner — fast, secure, and fully under our control. Specially tailored for the Healthcare & Welfare sector.

European Hosting for Healthcare & Welfare: the sector and its challenges.

Healthcare and welfare — where trust is not nice-to-have, but everything. — your digital presence must be professional enough to earn trust before the first appointment.

The Dutch healthcare sector is increasingly digital — patients expect online bookings and information. Europe-hosted, GDPR-compliant infrastructure is not a nice-to-have — it is essential. Our self-hosted European infrastructure is built exactly for that.

Recognizable challenges in Healthcare & Welfare companies

  • Website not meeting accessibility standards (WCAG)
  • Concerns about patient data and GDPR compliance gaps in forms or hosting
  • Outdated site undermining professional credibility
  • No online booking system — still reliant on phone calls during office hours
  • Content either too clinical or too vague to inspire trust
Why Healthcare & Welfare companies choose European Hosting

Healthcare institutions need data security and GDPR compliance from their digital presence. A template website with a stock photo of a stethoscope does not inspire trust — it undermines it. Custom means secure, accessible, and specifically designed for your practice.

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.

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.
