The use of these cookies is necessary so that your browser can be recognized between your clicks during a visit. Common browsers offer the option to disable cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Handling of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses and provides your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you have agreed to the data collection.

Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and which can be traced back to you - for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

Handling of contact data

If you contact the website operator through the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and answer your request. Without your consent, these data will not be passed on to third parties.

Handling of AI Related Data

To operate the AI service of our website, it is necessary to connect to public AI engines from Google and/or Open-AI in the USA. All data you input to AI are just used for processing answers and analyzes for you. We don't save them longer than necessary and they are never saved outside of our system.

User Account

In order to use this service, each customer must set up a password-protected customer account. This includes an overview of completed payments and the related invoices.

The operator does not assume any liability for password abuse if this was not caused by the operator himself.

Registration and Order Process

All data entered by customers during the registration and order process are stored. This includes:

  • Name, first name, title, salutation
  • Address
  • Payment data
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number, fax, mobile phone
  • UID (VAT identification number) for companies

The data that is absolutely necessary for payment and operation is passed on to third-party service providers. As soon as the storage of your data is not longer necessary or is not longer legally required, it will be deleted.

Data Processing Consent for AI Chatbot

Please read these terms carefully before using our chatbot. By using the chatbot, you agree to these terms.

1. Chatbot Service

Our chatbot service is provided to assist you in two ways:

  • Learning Support: To answer questions related to the content of your booked products and to support your learning process.
  • Shopping Assistant: To help you with your inquiries and provide information about our products and services.

The chatbot uses Google Gemini as additional technology.

2. Data Processing and Transfer to the USA

  • Data Controller: The website operator, defined in the legal notice of this website, is the data controller for the personal data processed through this chatbot.
  • Data Processor: Google LLC, located in the United States, acts as a data processor on our behalf.
  • Data Transfer: By using this chatbot, you acknowledge and agree that your personal data, including the content of your chat conversations, will be transmitted to and processed by Google in the United States. A transfer only takes place when you sent a query to the chatbot. Simply loading the chatbot doesn’t transfer any data.
  • Data Storage: The chat conversations are stored only on our servers, located in Germany, which is part of the European Union. Google, as our data processor, only processes the data to provide the chatbot functionality; Google does not store the chat conversations on its servers for its own purposes beyond the immediate processing required to operate the chatbot.
  • Legal Basis for Transfer: The data transfer to the USA is based on DPF: Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This certification covers the specific data processing activities of this chatbot.
  • Data Processing Purposes: Your data will be processed for the following purposes:
    • To provide you with the chatbot service and respond to your inquiries (both learning-related and shopping-related).
    • To improve the quality and functionality of the chatbot.
    • To understand user needs and improve our products, services and courses.
  • Data Minimization: We will only collect and process the data that is strictly necessary for the above purposes.
  • Data Security: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, please be aware that data transmission over the internet is not completely secure.

3. Risks of Data Transfer

We love the United States of America, but the European Union believes that they may not provide the same level of data protection as the European Union. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that there are potential risks associated with the transfer of your data to the USA, including the possibility of access by US government authorities.

4. Your Consent

By clicking "I Agree" below, you explicitly consent to the processing of your personal data as described in these terms, including the transfer to Google in the United States. You confirm you have read and understood these terms.

5. Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at anytime. Withdrawing your consent will prevent further processing of your data in the chatbot. To withdraw your consent, just click on the “AI Privacy” link in our chatbot.

Hochverfügbarkeit

High Availability

For us, this is a must for every company size. And that's why we haven't offered dedicated servers or V-Servers (VPS) on simple servers since 2010, but exclusively rely on powerful high-availability clusters.

Skalierbarkeit

Scalability

So that you remain accessible even during peak loads and your systems can be expanded at any time without downtime. We ensure that your infrastructure grows with you!

ISO 27001 zertifiziert

Certification and Protection

PCI-DSS v4.0 and ISO 27001 (IT-Grundschutz) certified data centers as well as integrated basic DDoS protection. We are also Innovation Award winners in the field of IT security!

DSGVO-konform

100% GDPR-compliant Hosting

Hosting with providers from other EU countries can become unpleasantly expensive due to the requirements of the GDPR. We therefore only work with data centers within the EU that meet the requirements of the GDPR 100%.

Support

No Long Support Wait Times!

Thanks to our dedicated technicians on site in the data center, we receive immediate intervention in the event of a problem. Even in the event of more serious routing or DNS problems on the route between your access provider and our data center, we always strive to compensate for the problem for you as quickly as possible. Even if we are not the cause!

100% Support from Technicians

You won't find any unqualified first-level support staff with us, who you first have to explain how a server works. Our redundant monitoring makes it unlikely that you will discover a problem before us. But whenever you have questions or a problem, you'll speak directly to a qualified technician!

Zufriedene Kunden

Our Target Group

From the baker around the corner to the multinational corporation. Thanks to our flexible structure, we have the right hosting solution for every company size. From simple web hosting to your own dedicated virtual data center for outsourcing your complete IT infrastructure!

Richtig Dimensioniert

Correctly Dimensioned?

This is the be-all and end-all of a successful project. Under-dimensioning leads to unnecessary failures and associated financial losses. Over-dimensioning, on the other hand, leads to unnecessary costs. Let us work together to find the right dimensioning and thus a powerful and economical solution for you!

Request now

high available ultra high speed scalable

Gold Standard

Best possible Performance:

everything as Silver, plus:

  • High Availability: Complete Redundancy (Backbone, Network, HA-Cluster, Application Layer)
  • vertical + horizontal scalability (CPU/RAM/Storage + Machines) during operation
  • no component sharing (thus full throughput!)
  • Mitigation of extreme performance peaks (e.g., during a TV broadcast)
  • dedicated Loadbalancers & V-Clustering on demand
  • Cross-datacenter solutions on demand

Recommended Use:

  • V-Cluster Machines for very large projects (Website, Online Shop, Online Platform, Machines for Shared Hosting, etc.)
  • Partial or complete outsourcing of your infrastructure
  • Reselling: Become a hosting provider yourself
  • Your own virtual data center
high speed

Silver Standard

Very high performance:

everything like Bronze, plus:

  • vertical scalability (CPU/RAM/Storage)
  • negligible to no component sharing
  • Storage with different speed classes!
  • Backup to backup cluster and/or object storage

Recommended Use:

  • individual machines for medium-sized projects (website, online shop, online platform, machines for shared hosting, etc.)

Bronze Standard

All services well above average:

  • High Availability: Layer 3/4 redundancy (backbone, network, HA cluster)
  • Highspeed: sufficient buffer in backbone, network, system resources
  • True full virtualization (arbitrary operating system choice)
  • only slight component sharing
  • integrated storage
  • Backup on isolated backup server
  • DDoS basic protection
  • GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified data center
  • Prioritized support directly by technicians

Recommended use:

  • individual machines for smaller single projects (website, online shop, etc.)

Tin Sheet

Only one of the following criteria needs to be met:

  • Dedicated server (every server will fail sooner or later)
  • VPS or V-server (on single servers)
  • Container virtualization with non-caching kernels (resulting in only a small portion of allocated RAM being used!)
  • Shared hosting (on single servers)
  • High component sharing (causing latencies)
  • Global Clouds (overly large clouds with associated latencies and outages)
  • Backup only as a snapshot on the same storage medium (no true data backup)
  • Insufficiently segmented network (vulnerable to flooding attacks)
  • No effective DDoS protection (vulnerable to network outages)
  • Providers outside the EU although you are operating inside EU (not GDPR compliant)
  • First-level support by non-technicians

We ask for your understanding!

Since this standard, in our opinion, does not meet the requirements for any company size, we have not offered any products with a tin sheet standard in our range since 2010. A functional IT infrastructure (email, website, online shop, learning platform, ERP, cloud, etc.) is simply too important for business success!

Hosting Expert with 30+ Years of Experience

The best hosting provider in Europe. That is VDCgold's very special goal. Instead of simply offering fixed hosting packages, hoping that they will be suitable for many customers, individual hosting solutions are offered that 100% meet the requirements of the customers. This makes VDCgold the perfect partner for business customers of all sizes; from sole proprietorships to large corporations. VDCgold offers a wide range of products, from Shared Hosting or Premium VMs in Web Hosting to E-Commerce Hosting, E-learning Hosting, Online Platform Hosting, AI Hosting, and even the outsourcing of the entire IT infrastructure into its own virtual data center.

VDCgold offers different quality classes: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Even the machines of the lowest standard "Bronze" are already far above average in terms of speed and high availability. The higher classes go one better and are particularly convincing in their vertical to horizontal scalability (V-Cluster), which allows the infrastructure to grow with business success - without having to move to a new server. This also makes VDCgold the ideal partner for organizations that expect a very high number of accesses in a short period of time, such as through publicity in television programs or television advertising.

And the best thing is that the price is also extremely attractive!

With more than 30 years of experience in hosting and as an innovation award winner in the field of IT security, hosting at VDCgold is extremely secure. Even customers who are constantly being hacked are welcome.

All hosting offers are based on a high-availability cluster. With VDCgold, you are always on the right track.
