We love to solve problems and strive to offer our customers the best possible user experience every day by making complex cloud technology easily and quickly available through our cutting-edge IaaS and PaaS cloud platform.
With more than 15 years of experience in international managed hosting and the cooperation with many DAX and Fortune 500 companies we know that the requirements for IT projects and the infrastructure behind are constantly increasing. Companies need to be able to adapt quickly. From the very beginning, data security, 100% availability, high performance, flexible resources and transparent billing have been our top priorities in everything we do and love. We are your infrastructure and platform services provider who understands what you want to achieve and works with you on eye level.
Our corporate culture creates space for creative ideas and extraordinary people. We give our employees the freedom they need to develop and most importantly: We listen to every idea! We do not have strict structures and hierarchies and are open to one another. Every employee is part of gridscale and every employee shapes the history and future of gridscale.

The concept and business plan is made
Coming up with idea and drafting first concept
During the last 15 years we have been able to gather lots of experience in the hosting and cloud market. We did create many products and services, most of which are still successful today. In 2014 it became apparent to us how complex and complicated most cloud products are from a user perspective, let alone the pricing models. They are far away from being transparent and are hard to understand. Our partners, customers and employees enjoyed using these products less every single day, driven by their non-intuitive interfaces and the excessive need for training . We realized that the positive development of the IaaS and PaaS market is a great chance to make our vision of an easy-to-use, intuitive, highly available and flexible cloud service become reality. We knew that we could build cutting-edge technology. It is important for us to have users who love using gridscale and we are very pleased about the great feedback we get from our users every single day.
