Why more and more SMEs choose private hosting
Reliable and secure access to your business data is more important than ever. Especially for SMEs, who increasingly outsource part or all of their IT infrastructure. In a recent interview with Sterck Magazine, Kurt Liekens of Office-IT explained how private hosting plays a crucial role for modern businesses.

What is private hosting?
Private hosting means that your company gets access to its own cloud space – hosted on dedicated or shared servers in a professional data center. No uncontrollable public cloud, but a secure and high-performance IT environment that we design and manage together with you.
For this, we work with Datacenter United, one of the largest and most advanced data centers in Belgium. Your servers are not located somewhere far away, but in a safe, local environment where everything remains under control.
The benefits for your SME
Private hosting offers several strong advantages:
- Better security
Your data is stored in a professional data center, protected with the highest standards of physical and digital security. - More control and flexibility
Dedicated resources that scale with your company. Is your team growing? Then your IT infrastructure simply grows with it. - Complete peace of mind
From design to management: we take care of everything. Including monitoring, maintenance, backups, and updates. - Optimal connectivity
A fast, stable, and redundant internet connection, tailored to the needs of your business. - Transparent cost model
You pay a monthly price per U (server space), and software licenses are billed separately based on actual usage. No surprises.
Dedicated or shared? You decide.
We offer two plans:
- Shared hosting: your data is hosted on a shared server with strict separation and security.
- Dedicated hosting: a fully private server, exclusively for your company.
Both options are fully managed by our specialists and can be adapted to your situation at any time.
