RiKuWe vs. Webhosting
Web hosting puts your website online. We operate your application – securely, transparently, and long-term.
What classic web hosting delivers
Web hosting is often the first step into the digital world. Typical features include:
- Web space & domain management
- Email accounts & databases
- 1-click installations (e.g. WordPress)
- Support for availability and technical issues
For simple websites, blogs, or CMS systems, that’s often enough – quick, cost-effective, and easy to use.
Where RiKuWe begins
Once you’re dealing with custom applications, APIs, or production-grade systems, classic hosting hits its limits:
- No access to infrastructure or configuration
- Limited access to logs, backups, or network controls
- No SLA for uptime or recovery
- No partner responsible for actual operations
RiKuWe starts where hosting ends:
We operate systems – not just servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we host simple websites with RiKuWe?
Technically yes – but our focus is on applications, APIs, and production-grade environments. For basic CMS websites, classic hosting is often cheaper and simpler.
How does RiKuWe differ from root-access web hosting?
Even with root access, what’s usually missing is a structured operations concept. RiKuWe handles updates, backups, monitoring, access control – and ensures the system is traceable and reproducible.
Does RiKuWe also provide domains or email hosting?
Not at the moment. Our focus is on technical operations for custom applications. We integrate existing domain providers and email services – securely, with documentation and GDPR compliance. If demand arises in the future, we’re open to evaluating suitable extensions.
How does the transition from web hosting to RiKuWe work?
We assess the existing setup, plan the migration together, and handle the new environment’s deployment – including documentation, testing, and a clear handover process.
