The economy is more global than ever: East and West are inextricably interwoven, borders are almost irrelevant. But borderless digital communication is a myth – at least with China. Even if your employees are up to date in intercultural communication and your website is professionally translated, your customers and business partners in the second largest national economy in the world are still sitting in front of their screens and waiting. They are waiting for your company's web content, which is delivered by your current server or hosting.
Why are websites and servers from the West hardly accessible in China, if at all?
- Because of censorship in China, data packages from the West have to surmount the "Great Firewall of China". Even if content is not rejected, this seriously slows down its delivery.
- Often 20 to 40 percent of the data packets are lost on their way to China. This factor is far more crucial than the actual latency to China.
- China's external connection to the western internet and hence also the data transfer rate to China are fundamentally poor.
- Once the package is inside China, its delivery is further delayed by poor networking between the Chinese providers.
How to surmount the Digital Wall
Stop waiting. Jump over.
The constant technical development of the “Great Firewall of China” presents Western companies with growing challenges in delivering their own websites and applications to users in China. Anyone who wants to reliably overcome China's digital firewall today needs a partner with strong and modern cloud solutions. With weber.cloud China, you can bring your web content through the firewall to your Chinese customers securely and without delays.
weber.cloud China connects - fast and reliable.
Servers in China and Germany
Your web application is delivered via the weber.cloud servers in China – directly from Mainland China. For companies with no office in China, we offer hosting in Germany with a weber.cloud direct connection, which enables fast data transport through the Great Firewall. Always included: premium peering to the 3 major Chinese providers.
German contractual partner
Our cloud solutions come from an owner-managed mid-sized German company and have been specifically designed for mid-sized companies as well as international corporations from Europe.* We conclude our contracts according to German law – taking into account the applicable Chinese requirements.
Support in three languages
Our colleagues speak German and English as well as Chinese. As experts in intercultural communication, we understand the individual needs of your employees and online marketing specialists in Germany, Europe and China alike. We ensure that in the end everyone involved in the project is enthusiastic about the weber.cloud China solution.
Conducting the ICP application
The operation of a website in China requires a state permit, the so-called ICP license. If you opt for a solution with a server or hosting in China, you will receive full support from us when applying for this license. Our help ranges from compiling all the necessary documents to submitting them to the responsible authorities in China.
Possible ways over the wall
For companies with and without their own branch in China

The hosting of your web application (website, online shop, web app, etc.) is operated on a server in our weber.cloud data center in Germany. Two special dedicated lines to China are available for high-performance data transfer between the Chinese visitor and the weber.cloud server in Germany.
You can also use the hosting in Germany for the central operation of your entire web application and to deliver it quickly and reliably to China, Europe and the rest of the world. By moving your entire web application, you can also save costs from your existing hosting provider.

Proxy cache server in Germany with a direct connection to China
You continue to operate your web application (website, online shop, web app, etc.) at your existing provider. We operate the proxy cache server for you in our weber.cloud data center in Germany. It is connected to your website and uses the direct connection to China to reliably improve the performance of your website.
When users in China access your website, they send the request via the direct connection to the proxy cache server in Germany, which in turn retrieves the required data from your website hosting. Performance will be further improved by caching static content on the server in Germany.
