A control panel can have all the features in the world, but if it doesn’t integrate cleanly into an existing setup, it risks becoming just another layer of complexity rather than a solution. Ever since PanelAlpha entered the market, we’ve been evaluating not only how well it serves newcomers to WordPress hosting but also how smoothly it integrates with well-established companies.
To get an insider’s perspective, we turned to Marcus Krämer, the CEO of HostPress, to see if PanelAlpha actually translates into a smoother workflow. His feedback provides a real-world perspective on what works, what stands out, and how it’s being received by their customers.
Launched in 2016, HostPress has been in the WordPress hosting industry long enough to know that solid infrastructure is everything. They ensure uptime and reliability with strategically placed servers across Germany.
Marcus Krämer: HostPress is a Germany-based managed WordPress hosting company with its own high-availability server clusters in three German data centers. Our clients are primarily located in the DACH region. We offer WordPress hosting for single and multi-instances, as well as managed WordPress cloud servers.
But in hosting, real growth isn’t measured just by server count – it requires keeping pace with how customer needs are evolving. And while specialization continues to be the key area of focus for HostPress, they also recognize that professional hosting should be approachable for all skill levels.
Marcus Krämer: We aim to further expand our role as a highly specialized managed WordPress hosting provider. At the same time, thanks to PanelAlpha, we also want to be the right partner for WordPress beginners who value professional hosting.
Our platform fit right in and made the whole experience feel more intuitive. Because let’s be real – WordPress hosting can be intimidating if you’re not familiar with the backend. Marcus seems to share our perspective because when asked what made them decide to start using PanelAlpha, the CEO responded:
Marcus Krämer: We wanted to improve the onboarding experience for our customers by using your solution.
Importantly, HostPress didn’t have to swap anything out for PanelAlpha – it has become an addition to what they already run. Plesk is still their hosting base, but our platform offers a different angle, giving customers a clean and straightforward way to manage their WordPress instances without getting lost in technical details.
Ultimately, it’s about giving users the right tool for their level of expertise. But what’s the customer verdict?
Marcus Krämer: Customers love this new interface and call it a “game changer” in the WordPress hosting world.
Measuring the long-term impact of PanelAlpha on user engagement and satisfaction will take time, but HostPress’ CEO isn’t waiting to recommend it to industry peers. And something tells us their trust in our platform will only grow in the long run.
A sincere thank you to Marcus Krämer for sharing his time and insights with us. It’s always valuable to hear directly from industry professionals about how our platform fits into their business regime. We appreciate the thoughtful perspective and look forward to seeing HostPress continue to thrive. Thanks again!
Bringing a new control panel into an existing hosting machinery is never just a quick or casual decision – especially for experienced WordPress hosting providers who have spent years fine-tuning their environments for peak performance and reliability. HostPress’ experience highlights the importance of seamless onboarding and user-friendly management, confirming that PanelAlpha is moving in the right direction. After all, when your clients start calling something a “game changer”, you know you’re onto something.
