Story

It's all handled.

Core puts builders and developers at the centre. By continuously adding improvements, we make life a little smoother for web professionals every day.

In 2021 we asked ourselves: if we used today's knowledge and technical capabilities to design the ideal hosting platform for web professionals - what would we build? The answer is Core.

Think of Core as a fully equipped workshop: the foundation is in order - the workbenches are there, the power comes out of the walls, the ventilation works - and everything else you need to do your work well and efficiently has been thought of.

Cyberfusion is exactly what I've been looking for for years: finally a hoster focused on web professionals. Beyond top servers, they're a real sparring partner.

Security, baked in.

Malware scans. Every 24 hours. Reported immediately.

Scrapers, credential stuffers, AI crawlers. Held at the gate.

Strict firewall. Full control.

Database encryption. One click.

security.txt. All your domains at once. One policy.

Why this matters A security.txt policy is a file at /.well-known/security.txt on a domain - a well-known location security researchers check when they want to report a vulnerability. With Core, you add security.txt to all your projects with one click. This makes your sites and applications more secure and shows stakeholders that you take security seriously.

Internet standards scanned on every site. We're the first and only hoster doing this.

Why this matters With modern internet standards (such as IPv6, DNSSEC, and HSTS), your projects stay available and secure. As the only hoster, we scan all your projects for modern internet standards by default. This gives you insight into areas for improvement. Many of them you can fix directly in Core.

Who did what, when. In plain sight.

ISO 27001 certified. Audited annually. Proof on paper.

Fast, by default.

Start a new WordPress project in 60 seconds. Perfect config for WordPress.

AutoRedis(TM). WordPress faster, with no plugin or config.

HPOS-ready. Webshops with large order volumes, without the strain.

OPcache. Pre-tuned. No tweaking needed.

Create a database. Automatic optimisation. One toggle.

Why this matters Every write leaves little fragments behind in your database. Over time those fragments slow queries down. We clean them up automatically (defragmentation) for MariaDB and PostgreSQL, so you never have to run OPTIMIZE TABLE yourself. And we're one of the only hosters doing this.

InnoDB insights. See exactly what's happening under the hood.

Why this matters The InnoDB buffer pool is one of the most important knobs for database performance. It keeps frequently-used data and indexes in memory, so queries don't have to hit disk every time. Set too small, you feel it in your response times. We size it for your workload and keep watching.

Everything to build & deploy with.

Scheduler & queue. Set up automatically.

Crons with fine-grained control. Schedule, retries, resources - all configurable.

WP-CLI. Available by default. Per project, over SSH.

Staging. Unlimited. For every project.

Every project, its own environment. No fuss.

Architecture

Core under the hood.

Layer 1

Data centre

Power, network, physical security

Your servers run in heavily-secured data centres on Dutch and German soil. All hardware is our own. This is where certainty starts: redundant power supply, emergency power, fire detection systems, a geographically distributed network, and 24/7 physical access control.

Ede Schiphol-Rijk Meerbusch Tier-3 redundancy ISO 27001
Layer 2

Physical server

Lightning-fast hardware for lightning-fast projects

Our physical hardware is specially put together for outstanding web-hosting performance: AMD CPUs, ECC memory, and NVMe storage.

AMD EPYC ECC RAM NVMe storage
Layer 3

Virtual server (node)

Your own isolated environment

Every server your projects run on is a virtual server on physical hardware. During maintenance we can move your virtual servers between physical hardware, keeping uptime as high as possible.

Linux KVM Per-customer isolation Live migration
Layer 4

Interface

Manage all your projects

Through the Core interface you manage all your projects on your own server(s). Within Core you start new projects in under 60 seconds, choose the configuration so it fits your team, set up SSH access, and much more.

Want to automate processes further? The API is there for you.

Core control panel REST API SDK CLI Webhooks
Layer 5

Efficiency tooling

What saves your team hours every week

Core's real power lies in all the conveniences for web professionals: manage all your projects in one place, keep performance and security in view at a glance, get AI-assisted hypotheses when something goes wrong, get important notifications in your Slack, and we could keep going for a while.

Day in, day out, we develop new features and capabilities to make your daily work a little smoother.

Advantages

What Core gets you.

Builders and developers get back to what they're good at, and you attract clients with a higher profile.

01

Let developers do what clients pay for

Server tuning, security patches, configuring firewall rules, fixing an outage at 3 in the morning - it has to happen, but you have better things to do. We take all of that off your plate, so your developers can get back to what they're paid for: building good sites and applications for clients - on a foundation you know for certain is solid.
02

Win bigger clients with strict security requirements

Big prospects ask for a laundry list of security measures and assurances: ISO 27001, modern internet standards, a clearly defined SLA, uptime guarantees, a monitored supply chain - and the list goes on. We help you win that kind of client: first and foremost with all the technical and organisational measures. Need our help on tenders and procurement? We're glad to chip in.
03

24/7 direct help from qualified engineers

Let's be honest: inherent to technology and building sites and applications is that sometimes something needs fixing. In that case, you can count on our qualified engineers not putting their laptop away until the problem is fixed. By the time you read that something was going on, nine times out of ten the fix and the post-mortem are already there. That brings a lot of (mental) peace to your organisation. You could almost call it priceless - but Core is simply perfectly affordable!
04

One platform for every client and tool

You host all your projects with us: clients big and small, and all PHP applications - all in one place, in one control panel, with one invoice and one support team. The spreadsheet of which client runs at which hoster should really go in the bin, but more importantly: when things need to be switched quickly and effectively, you have only one party to deal with - that saves time when it counts. You also bring related services here, like domains, though that's not a requirement.
05

Partner for the next 10+ years

Like the rest of the industry these days: we regularly get suitors at the door with acquisition offers. We turn them down - including one from one of the largest hosters in Europe. Because money is nice, but you can't buy what matters (figuratively): we'd rather build a platform web professionals actually benefit from than drink endless cocktails. Let's be honest: nobody can promise they'll never be acquired - we at least don't have a crystal ball - but we've put customers before profit for ten years and plan to keep it that way.

Switch to HPOS on Core

Heard of HPOS? Not an obscure illness, but High Performance Order Storage: an alternative, more efficient data format for WooCommerce sites. Larger shops in particular benefit from it, thanks to a welcome performance boost. On Core, switching to HPOS is straightforward.
