Servage Hosting Reviews

Servage Hosting, operating under Servage GmbH, is a German web hosting provider founded in 2004 by Steffan Sondermark Fallesen. Headquartered in Flensburg, Germany, it started as an English-only service but later expanded to offer services in German, Polish, Danish, and Swedish. In 2007, the company was acquired by the Swedish telecommunication firm Tele5 Voice Services AB (later renamed Servage AB in 2008). Servage positions itself as a modern service provider, reflected in its name derived from "Serve" and "Age". The company provides a range of web services, initially focusing on standard hosting solutions. In 2007, they transitioned their network infrastructure to the open-source routing platform GNU Zebra, moving away from Cisco routers. In 2008, Servage introduced ServageOS, a customized Linux distribution designed for their server clusters, featuring enhanced security measures like process separation between customers. While aiming to provide comprehensive hosting solutions, Servage has faced criticism regarding overselling and security vulnerabilities, including instances of mass hacking reported in 2010. Despite these challenges, Servage established itself among the larger German web hosts, offering various international language options to cater to a broader European audience.
