Price indexing 2026

Why your own cloud server?
At Hensel Hosting, everything revolves around convenience, speed, and reliability. Many customers start with shared hosting. But at some point, your website, webshop, or application outgrows its setup. Then it’s time for the next step: your own cloud server. What exactly does that mean, and why should you consider it? We explain it in this… Continue reading Why your own cloud server?
PHP updates
Last year, the control panel has received a large update so it works with the latest PHP version. If you’re using WordPress, and your theme and plugins are still supported, then the developers will have typically done the upgrades for you. We recommend keeping your own applications up-to-date with regards to the PHP version. That… Continue reading PHP updates

Payment via Apple Pay, Google Pay and other updates
Due to a major update to the control panel, it is now also possible to make payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and iDEAL. Follow the payment link included in each invoice email.
Email account updates by user
Especially for larger organizations, it saves the admins a lot of time, if users can individually manage their own mailbox settings, like update their password. This was possible via the old control panel, but has now also been implemented in the new control panel. Simply let users login with their email and password.
Access control per account
For many years our resellers can control their customers’ access to specific functionality of the control panel. But it was on or off. No granular control. Let’s say that DNS management is hard to understand for your customers, then you usually switch this off. Same goes for ordering. Perhaps some of your customers order a… Continue reading Access control per account
