What is web hosting and what do you need it for?
Web hosting is server space where a website and emails are located. We explain what web hosting includes, how it differs from a domain and what kind of package is enough.
We are a small team from Turku who believe that even the smallest business deserves world-class web services - without the big-corporation price tag or attitude.
Nordweb was born out of frustration. We saw how the hosting industry operates: prices rise at every renewal without warning, customer support answers with a chatbot or only after the third support ticket, and obvious features like backups and SSL certificates are locked behind more expensive plans. The Finnish entrepreneur ends up as just an order number in the systems of large foreign services.
We wanted to do things differently. We operate from Turku as a three-person team. Our servers run in a Finnish data centre, and we maintain them ourselves. When you call or email us, a real person who knows what they're talking about always answers. We won't sell you a service or plan you don't need.
Our pricing is transparent, and the price doesn't change during the contract period. Daily backups and SSL certificates are always included in the price, even in the free plan. Paid plans include free website migration, so the switch to Nordweb is effortless. You only pay for what truly benefits your website.
We are not a faceless corporation. When you contact us, one of the three of us always responds.
Mikko is responsible for our server environment and infrastructure.
Onni develops the systems our services run on and leads our marketing.
Daniel takes care of customer relationships and helps you find the right solution.
These are not empty slogans but principles we work by every single day.
When you call us, a real person answers - not a chatbot, not a ticket system, not "please hold". We know our customers and their needs.
Prices are clear and the same for everyone. We don't sell unnecessary add-ons or lock you into long contracts. You always know what you're paying for.
We use the latest tools and technologies so every website is custom-built, fast and secure - no ready-made themes or outdated templates.
Our services scale with your business. Start small and grow without having to switch providers.
