Why choose Klarned?
Many new customers find their way to us through our satisfied clients. Some of our customers encountered problems with their previous hosting provider and are glad they chose us. They now experience much faster websites and have a dedicated point of contact they can always turn to.
Our clients are happy with us, and we are happy with them. We’re there when you need us, even in the evenings and on weekends. What our clients value most about us are our direct communication, our in-depth technical knowledge, and our proactive support. And we’re proud of that.
Our clients tell their own stories best. That’s why we’re happy to share below the kind words they use to describe their experience with Klarned.
WordPress expertise that makes a difference
Casa da Lila
Casa da Lila, a welcoming vacation rental in Portugal, needed a partner who thinks along with them and quickly resolves technical issues. Thanks to our commitment and expertise, plugin issues and form errors were resolved in no time. Angela and Herman are especially happy that they can now always call someone with their WordPress questions.
Ambasco and Mediative
Ambasco, a provider of communication solutions, also noticed an immediate improvement: “The websites are faster, more stable, and we always receive expert advice. Klarned is our partner in taking the hassle out of things.”
Mediative, a web agency, found Klarned to be a reliable partner for hosting their client websites. “We feel heard. There have never been any server issues, and the support is top-notch,” says Jeroen.
Fast, stable, and scalable e-commerce hosting
Positivity Shop, Club van Sinterklaas and Reiscompany
At Positivity Shop, downtime with another provider led to immediate revenue losses. Ramon from Klarned jumped in right away, and within a few hours, the online store was back online. Kimberly: “I know I can rely on Klarned. My online store has been much faster and always available ever since.”
De Club van Sinterklaas used to suffer from crashing web shops every year during peak periods. Since switching to Klarned, those problems are a thing of the past: “Our website is now stable, even during extreme peak times. And we can always call someone, that’s worth its weight in gold.”
Reiscompany opted for a dedicated e-commerce server with Klarned. The switch turned out to be surprisingly simple. Dirk: “It felt like Plug & Play. My website is faster and more stable. I don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”
Custom solutions for agencies
Webmyday, Create-Convert and Commpro
Webmyday deliberately chose Klarned because of its personal approach. Wessel: “I even got a reply to my email within five minutes. And the customization is fantastic; the backend of the websites is noticeably faster.”
Create-Convert experienced slow websites and poor service with their previous provider. Since the switch, everything has changed: “Our clients’ websites are now fast, stable, and secure. We can focus on our clients without technical frustrations.”
Commpro describes our servers as “secure, lightning-fast, and perfectly optimized for WordPress.” They find the technical support to be expert and personal, something they lacked with previous providers.
Technical collaboration is our standard
Maatwerk Online and Erno Hannink
Maatwerk Online cites our technical expertise and the noticeable performance improvement after the first test as the main reason for switching. Nick: “Klarned is fast, technically strong, and reliable. Request a demo and experience the difference for yourself.”
Erno Hannink, who has been active in the WordPress ecosystem for years, deliberately chose Klarned because of its fast, personalized service. “At 9:15 p.m., Ramon called me to help me with a DNS setting I had configured incorrectly. That’s not customer service, that’s partnership.”
Migration without worries
I&O Research
Many companies find switching providers daunting. We understand that. That’s why we personally guide every migration. Whether it’s a single company website or dozens of client sites, we ensure a seamless transition, fast and secure.
I&O Research migrated multiple client projects simultaneously. Luke: “Everything was handled quickly, and the service is proactive. We received customized solutions where needed, without any hassle.”
