The same people, year after year.
tagsolution e-systems GmbH is an established hosting and IT service provider. Since 2002 we have been running websites, applications and infrastructure for small and mid-sized companies. We are based in Ludwigshafen in south-west Germany, and we work with customers across the country and beyond. Most of it happens remotely, across time zones where that is what it takes.
Who we are
A small team that has worked together for a long time
We work with fixed responsibilities, so that everyone really knows the environments they look after. You notice it the moment you call: you reach someone who already knows your setup. Our field is websites, servers and mailboxes, and for that we are exactly the right size.
How we work
Built carefully, looked after personally
Technology that works
We work with established technology and open standards. That keeps your systems maintainable and lets them grow when your requirements change.
Whatever sits underneath, we explain it so that you can follow the argument and make the call. Including the awkward parts.
Digitalisation on open source
A website, a domain, a server, mailboxes and marketing on top: going digital is made of many separate pieces.
We bring them together and run them, on Linux and open source software we understand down to the ground.
Capabilities
Our toolbox
Behind what we build and run sits solid technical knowledge and a wide choice of proven technology. Which of it gets used is decided by the job, not by habit.
Web & development
TYPO3 · WordPress · PHP · Python · Hugo · Astro · 11ty · Jamstack · API integration
We build websites and web applications, and where systems should know about each other, we connect them through their interfaces.
Servers & infrastructure
Linux · Docker · nginx · Apache · HAProxy · Varnish · Caddy
From a classic web server configuration to applications in containers, with a proxy and caching in front where speed matters.
Cloud & operations
Nextcloud · Monitoring · Backup · VPN & networking
We set cloud and server systems up, keep the operating system current and check in day-to-day operation that everything runs. More under Servers & Networks.
Databases & backend
MariaDB · MySQL · Redis
Behind almost every website and web application sits a database. We stick to proven technology that will still be maintained in years to come.
Mail & communication
Postfix · Dovecot
Mailboxes, spam filtering and the deliverability of your domain: we run our own mail servers rather than reselling someone else’s.
DevOps & automation
Git · CI/CD · Ansible · Containers · Automation
Every change lives in version control, installations run from scripts rather than by hand. Any state can be traced and restored. What could be automated in your setup is worth a look.
Network, security & domains
DNS · VPN · SSL/TLS · Let’s Encrypt · Firewall · Network administration
The technology behind the website belongs to the job too: DNS records, certificates, firewall rules and the question of who may reach what from where.
Hosting & platforms
Domain reselling · Web hosting · Servers · Nextcloud
As a hosting and IT service provider we take on the technical side on request, from the domain through the server to day-to-day administration.
You stay free to leave
Anything we run on a monthly basis can be cancelled monthly: hosting, mailboxes, SEO work, managed servers. If you decide to move on, we release the domain and hand over your data. We would rather earn your staying than lock it in.
