Good at something?
Become a monster.
Hostingmonster is more than a provider: it's a marketplace and a family. Anyone with something to offer that takes tech off businesses' hands can become part of it – with their own company, their own skills and fair rules of play.
The marketplace ideaMany specialists.
Many specialists.
One place that brings them together.
Like at the DIY store: for every problem there's the right tool – and someone who knows how to use it. Nobody can do everything. Together we can do almost everything. That's why we bring specialists into the family instead of trying to do everything on our own.
01
The business tells its story
A business tells the monster in its own words what's bugging it. We sort out what's really needed.
02
The right monster helps
Sometimes it's us, sometimes a partner from the family – depending on who fits best. We tell the customer openly.
03
The promises apply to everyone
Plain English, price upfront, nobody just disappears. No matter which monster is helping right now.
What you can offer
People who want to help. And know how.
You don't have to be a monster. But you should enjoy taking tech off businesses' hands – clearly, reliably and with the price upfront.
Freelancer
You work on your own and you're really good at what you do? Then from now on you're not alone any more.
Agencies
Web, shop, marketing, design: you build, and the monsters take care of operation and maintenance if you like – or the other way round.
Consultants
Digitalisation, workflows, data protection, funding: you show the way, the monsters help make it happen.
Tech-savvy trades
Electrics, network cabling, phone systems, security technology: wherever tech needs a hands-on touch, you're the one they need.
Software and apps
You make software or build interfaces, tools and automations? Bring them to the marketplace.
Specialist expertise
Accessibility, data protection, accounting tech, copywriting, photography: anyone who's really good at a topic complements the monsters.
Networks and partnerships
Associations, start-up centres, providers with matching products: let's see where we complement each other.

How it works
From fact file to family
01
Fact file
Tell the MarktMonster in the chat who you are, what you can do and where you work. Takes about five minutes.
02
Getting to know each other
A real person will get in touch. In a conversation we'll work out whether we're a good fit – free and without obligation.
03
Trial project
A first joint project shows whether it feels right for both sides. Clearly agreed and fairly paid.
04
Part of the family
We put tasks, region and pay in writing. Then you get access to the Monster-Zentrale and are officially part of the team.
Our rules of playA few rules.
A few rules.
The same for everyone.
Customers should be able to rely on every monster. That's why these rules apply to the whole family – including us.
Quality over quantity
Better a few jobs done properly than many done halfway. If you can't do something, say so – then another monster takes over.
Honest with customers
Plain English, price upfront, no scaremongering. “No, that's not possible” doesn't exist here: we tell you how it can be done and what it costs.
Data protection and data processing agreement
Anyone working with customer data complies with the GDPR. Where necessary, we conclude data processing agreements – with you too.
Pay open to discussion
Who earns what is no secret. Commissions and fees are set down in writing – and customers are allowed to know about them.
Customers don't belong to anyone alone
Customers decide for themselves who they work with. Logins and data belong to the customer – not to you and not to us.
Nobody just disappears
Holidays, illness, full order books: we arrange cover and handover together. No customer is suddenly left on their own.
Sounds strict? It is – to protect customers and the whole family. In return, you always know where you stand with us.
What's in it for youGive and take.
Give and take.
Honestly calculated.
Enquiries that fitWhen someone needs help that suits you, the request can land with you – in your region or online.
Fair payYou earn from what you win and look after – as commission or a fee. We settle the details fairly and in writing. No capital investment, no stake in the company.
ToolsMonster-Zentrale, connect widgets, templates and workflows that already work.
BackingExpertise from the whole family, cover during holidays and a brand people remember.
Shape it with usYour ideas end up in our toolbox. That's exactly how new monsters and products come about.
Stay independentYou remain your own business. No franchise, no exclusivity obligation.
This page is an invitation to talk, not a binding offer. We don't promise a specific number of enquiries, jobs or earnings. Region, tasks and pay are agreed individually in a written partner agreement. For businesses and the self-employed only.

Quick question
What partners usually want to know
Does the partnership cost me anything?
There's no charge for applying and getting to know each other. Everything else is set out transparently in the partner agreement before you sign anything.
Do I have to work exclusively for Hostingmonster?
No. You remain your own business. We only expect you to keep our promises with customers from the system: plain language, price upfront, nobody simply vanishes.
Which regions are you looking for?
Germany, Austria and Switzerland first, then all of Europe. Just tell us where you're based.
How do I get paid?
It depends on what you bring in: clients, expertise or development – for example as commission on referred jobs or as a fee. We discuss it openly and put it in writing. No capital investment or stake in the company is involved.
Do I have to be a business?
Yes. Businesses and freelancers can join – Hostingmonster only works with business customers. If you'd rather work as an employee, take a look at the jobs.
Am I guaranteed to get jobs?
No, and we'd rather say so right away. How many requests suit you depends on your offer, your region and demand. We only make promises we can keep.
Who does the customer belong to?
Nobody alone. The customer decides who they work with, and logins and data always belong to them. If you bring your own customers, they stay yours.
Can I also offer software or a product?
Yes, if it takes tech off businesses' hands and fits our rules of play. If we earn something from a recommendation, we tell the customer openly.
What happens to the details from my application?
We only use it for your application and getting to know you. What we store and when we delete it is set out in the privacy policy.
