Initially formed through mergers including PlusServer, the managed hosting division of Host Europe Group, and Telefonica Online Services in 2015, the company has evolved significantly, particularly after its acquisition by BC Partners from GoDaddy in 2017. plusserver specializes in IT modernization, offering customized managed hosting and complex cloud solutions built on a robust infrastructure primarily located within Germany. They operate multiple high-security, certified data centers (including ISO 27001, BSI C5, ISO 9001, PCI DSS) across Germany, ensuring data sovereignty and GDPR compliance. Their services encompass managed private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, utilizing technologies like VMware and OpenStack (including their Sovereign Cloud Stack-based 'pluscloud open'). Key offerings include Managed Kubernetes, cloud consulting, IT migration services, security solutions (like SOC as a Service, DDoS protection, backup), storage, and dedicated servers. A key differentiator is their focus on digital sovereignty, highlighted by their role as a founding member of Gaia-X and their commitment to open-source solutions.
