HostPress Reviews

HostPress GmbH is a German web hosting company specializing in high-performance managed WordPress hosting. Founded in 2015 and officially launched in October 2016 by Marcus Krämer, the company emerged from the founder's experience running a web agency and identifying a market gap for fast, reliable, German-based WordPress hosting.
