About Nephelo

Nephelo was born inside an agency.

I built it because, as a developer and agency owner, I needed hosting that was fast, dependable and designed around managing many client sites.

How it started
The story

How Nephelo started.

The starting pointSoftly · 2017

50+ client sites. Running them day to day made the case for hosting designed differently.

I'm a co-founder of Softly, a digital agency in Athens that has been building and running more than 50 client sites since 2017. That work taught me first-hand what agency hosting actually has to do.

The same problems kept coming back: sites slowing down under traffic, expensive plans that left the agency almost no margin, and support that stopped the moment the server looked like it was running.

I needed a service that treated every site separately, brought the management into one place, and offered real technical help when something went wrong.

“I built the hosting service I would choose myself for my clients' sites.”

That's how Nephelo came about. Its core decisions come from what an agency actually needs: isolated resources, straightforward management, transparent pricing and a direct line to a person.

Our principles

Three principles behind Nephelo.

Each one answers a real problem agencies run into.

01

An isolated server for every site

The problem

On shared hosting, traffic to one site can drag down the performance of all the others.

Our answer

Every site on Nephelo runs on its own isolated server, with its own RAM and NVMe storage.

02

You set the price your client pays

The problem

Ordinary hosting plans often leave the agency with almost no margin.

Our answer

Agencies get wholesale pricing. You set the final price and keep the difference.

03

European infrastructure, a person to talk to

The problem

Faceless support makes an urgent technical problem harder still.

Our answer

The infrastructure is in the EU, and you talk to a person who knows the product.

Support in practice

Our support doesn't stop at the server.

A site can be in trouble even when the server is running perfectly well. By arrangement, we can help with plugins, PHP errors and technical problems in the code.

A plugin problem

We track down the conflict and help you resolve it.

A PHP error

We look into fatal errors, incompatible versions and environment settings.

Something in the code

We examine the technical issue and suggest the right fix.

Tell us what's happening. We'll assess it and explain clearly what needs doing.
Support covers reasonable technical issues. Content updates and large custom projects are not included.
