RiKuWe Managed Hosting & Infrastructure for Custom Software

Your Applications. Our Operations.
Reliable. Secure. Personal.

Your servers are running. Who's responsible for your applications?

  • GDPR-compliant hosting in the EEA
  • A personal point of contact
  • Operations, monitoring & support from a single source
  • Linux server infrastructure

We operate software. For agencies and companies.

The server runs, the firewall is in place — but no one's responsible for keeping the software itself running, monitored, and backed up. That's exactly the gap we close.

Custom applications, open-source tools instead of a cloud subscription, AI on your own hardware. Plus DevOps consulting for teams that want to build it themselves. Personal, GDPR-compliant, without vendor lock-in.

Are we the right fit for you?

Four questions. Fifteen seconds.

Somewhere, software is running that nobody is reliably accountable for.
Custom software, open-source tools, or AI models on Linux, Kubernetes, or in the cloud.
You need monitoring, backups, updates, and a dedicated contact when it counts.
Data sovereignty and independence from your provider matter to you.
That's a match.
Discuss with no obligation

Exception: if all you need is Windows clients, PCs, printers, or classic office support, we're not the right fit for you.

Operations aren't our customers' core business. They're ours. We look after systems proactively, not only when there's a fire. And when something does go wrong, everyone knows who is responsible.

Our Offerings

Our customers want their software to run. They don't want to have to know who to call at night. We make sure that call never has to happen.

You talk to the founders.

Behind RiKuWe are three founders: as CTOs, DevOps engineers, and startup founders, we've built and operated platforms, SaaS products, and highly available infrastructure ourselves. Systems we built are in daily use today.

We build infrastructure the way we'd need it for our own companies.

At RiKuWe, that means not just delivering technology, but taking responsibility. Long-term, stable, and honest.

How We Start

01

Initial Consultation

We get to know your requirements and discuss how we can help. Free and with no obligation.

02

Analysis & Concept

We analyze your IT landscape and create a concept with clear documentation. On request, implementation starts within two weeks.

03

Together with your team, we put the setup in place. Every step is documented, understandable, and transferable.

04

Operation & Ongoing Support

We monitor your infrastructure, take over updates and SLAs, and support you long-term. You always know who is responsible.

Operations on Your Infrastructure.

We don't operate on RiKuWe's own infrastructure. We take over operations and responsibility where your systems already run: on-premises, in the data center of your choice, or in your cloud account.

What to expect

  • Monitoring, alerting, and security updates
  • Backups with documented restore
  • 100% green electricity and energy-efficient server hardware
  • Complete documentation, versioned and transferable

Where We Operate

  • On-premises on your hardware or in your data center
  • In your cloud account (Hetzner, Azure, AWS, and others)
  • Hybrid: a combination of both

Your data stays where it is. No vendor lock-in.

About Us

The three founders of RiKuWe

Impersonal service, a lack of technical depth, no real sense of responsibility. We experienced it ourselves. That's why we founded RiKuWe — to do it better.


Today we run infrastructures the way we'd want to find them ourselves: stable, secure, documented, and with a direct contact person.
