With our branches in Austria and Switzerland, as well as data center locations in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, we are the leading hosting provider in the Alps. ## peaknetworks stands for ecological cloud and hosting services As a hosting and cloud provider, peaknetworks stands for ecological service and transparency. No additional costs for hosting or domains in the following years, no subscriptions that don't work, no artificially cheap products with limited functionality. With us there is only quality hosting and 1A service. Our internal software department "peaknetworks Development Lab" develops all interfaces and backend systems itself, our system administration engineers the server clusters and storage systems itself. The peaknetworks shared hosting stack runs on FreeBSD systems. We achieve a higher density with more hostings on less hardware than competing systems. This saves power and resources. We are known for our [ecological approach in hosting and cloud](https://www.peaknetworks.com/about-us/hosting-switzerland). Our systems are located in [Austria](https://www.peaknetworks.com/about-us/hosting-austria), [Switzerland](https://www.peaknetworks.com/about-us/hosting-switzerland) and [Germany](https://www.peaknetworks.com/about-us/hosting-germany). We do not outsource any services or data externally or to a cloud outside our own infrastructure. This is the only way we can guarantee you a top service. We don't buy user interfaces for our customers, but have developed our own, which is one of the easiest hosting interfaces to use. As a result, our customers benefit from a very simple operation. Creating an email address or an FTP user is only a few clicks. peaknetworks is self-financed and privately owned. We implement a long-term strategy and grow every year in the high double-digit percentage range. This way we ensure that our customers can count on us in the long run. ![Quality and transparency at fair prices](https://www.peaknetworks.com/user/pages/10.about-us/01.company/_03vorteile/new-icons-authorization.svg)### Quality and transparency at fair prices No extra costs for hosting or domains in subsequent years, no subscriptions that don't work, no artificially cheap products with limited functionality.

We wanted to improve the experience we had as customers with this new hoster. Faced with poor service, slow systems, complicated operation and prices that are constantly changing, we thought - we can do better. #### 2013 Foundation peaknetworks was founded in 2013. The first servers were installed and put into operation in a data center of Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG. Work on the peaknetworks control panel began. #### 2014 First location Innsbruck The first generation web, mail and DNS servers were put into operation. The business developed, customers from the German-speaking region host with peaknetworks. #### 2015 Second location in Zurich The extraordinarily positive business development with Swiss customers leads to the commissioning of our first systems in the Zurich data center in Hardturmstrasse. #### 2016 Resellers and agencies The control panel is expanded to include reseller functions, and the first agencies become peaknetworks customers. #### 2018 New HPE servers and new control panel The generation 2 of our control panel and server is put into operation. HTTP/2, free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, reseller features and the modern control panel lead to a great success on the market. We replace all servers with HP Enterprise 360 and HP Enterprise 380 systems. ![Datacenter in Gais AR (Switzerland)](https://www.peaknetworks.com/user/pages/10.about-us/01.company/_05geschichte2/RZO_aussen_01-1024x683.jpg)Datacenter in Gais AR (Switzerland) ## Technology in harmony with ecology #### 2020 Cloud services and business email Due to the events surrounding Corona and COVID-19, the demand for local cloud services is increasing in the EU and Switzerland. With Nextcloud based solutions including Onlyoffice and Talk we contribute to a smooth home office. In the "peaknetworks Development Lab" in Innsbruck the development of version 3 of the hosting control panel starts. #### 2021 GmbH and "All Flash" for shared hostings As of 1.1.2021 peaknetworks is a GmbH, the name is now "peaknetworks Hosting GmbH". The main focus in 2021 is in the reseller area for IT companies and agencies. Version 3 of the control panel is introduced and the last data center is converted to NVME and SSD in the area of shared hosting. #### 2022 ecological data center and cloud services Our primary data center in Switzerland will be TIER 4 [Rechenzentrum Ostschweiz](https://www.rechenzentrum-ostschweiz.ch/)SAK's DC Gais in Foren. It is the greenest data center in Switzerland and we will migrate all Swiss customers there in early 2022. We will become a full cloud provider and offer Amazon S3 as well as Kybernetes and VPS services on our systems in all data centers. #### 2023 New Multilingual Online Presence 2023 was marked by a relaunch of the peaknetwork website. In addition to country-specific sites for Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, there is now also an English-language website. #### 2024 peaknetworks Switzerland and Private Cloud Services for the DACH Region - Austria, Switzerland, and Germany The new peaknetworks Schweiz GmbH serves our customers centrally from Rotkreuz in the canton of Zug with VPS, hosting, and cloud services from the ecological data center in Gais. The storage infrastructure will double from 2023 to 2024. ![DC Augsburg](https://www.peaknetworks.com/user/pages/10.about-us/01.company/_06geschichte3/DC-Augsburg2.jpg)DC Augsburg ## International Market **2025 International Success with Containers** After launching our [container hosting platform](https://www.peaknetworks.com/server-cloud/container) with specific container products on the English version of our website, we are seeing an increasing number of international customers from the USA and other countries outside the DACH region. **2026: New Data Center in Augsburg and Managed Kubernetes with Kubrix** After many years at the environmentally focused Data Center Eastern Switzerland, we are expanding our infrastructure with a new primary location in Germany. With the [LEW Green Data Center in Augsburg](https://www.lew.de/fuer-unternehmen/it-dienstleistungen/rechenzentrum/colocation#lew-green-data-center), we have found a data center that combines our requirements for security, performance, and sustainable operations. Renewable energy from photovoltaic systems and regional hydropower, highly efficient cooling technology, the reuse of waste heat, and a modern, redundant infrastructure make this location a compelling foundation for our continued growth. Step by step, Augsburg will become the center of our hosting infrastructure in Germany.
