A Look at Our Sponsorships

We are happy to support nonprofit projects and initiatives with hosting, servers, and domains, and we promote innovation, the exchange of knowledge, and an open, sustainable infrastructure.

Apache CouchDB

Apache CouchDB is a database management system that takes data security very seriously. To ensure that CouchDB runs correctly and quickly everywhere, it features a large number of different test environments. This would not be possible without Netcup's support, and we are very grateful for it.

Thanks to netcup's generous support for our IT infrastructure, we can focus entirely on working on our open-source project.
