German host XSServer GmbH has been in the hosting business for six years, in which time it has rented multiple halls in the Netherlands and rebuilt them as a data center that pays particular attention to redundancy and safety.
Today, this host offers shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation services, domain services, and an internet exchange (IX) point. XSServer’s website is in English.

XSServer offers six shared hosting plans, four colocation plans, eight VPS plans, and 19 dedicated servers. The shared hosting plans provide you with:

An online file manager allows secure sharing of documents, and a PHP switcher makes it easy to change the PHP version.
The VPS virtualization is based on Linux Containers, and both virtual and dedicated servers come with DDoS protection.
You get a 99.9% server uptime guarantee, which is around the average for the industry.
Pricing and Support
XSServer offers competitively priced shared hosting plans. You have the flexibility to make payments in euros through methods such as bank transfer, PayPal, credit card, or CoinGate. Billing cycles range from monthly to annual. It’s important to note that there is no visible money-back guarantee at the moment.
Aside from a server status page, there are no self-support resources as far as I know. However, you should be able to summon one-to-one support by telephone, ticket, email, or live chat. I got quick answers to my questions via the live chat channel:
