10 Years of 25Space
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
"In the beginning, there was just the idea to provide cloud based software for our customers."
We found our company official on 29th September 2015
FUN FACT: before we started in 2015 as company, we developed in a group of 5 people software already since 2009!

THE SOFTWARE HISTORY
ONLINE WORK STATION
2010
In 2010, under the name “MD-Soft,” we began developing ONWS (Online Work Station), a browser-based operating system. The idea was to enable users to perform all tasks from any location at any time.
Getting better... ONWS X 2012
2012Over the years, the software has undergone significant development. More pleasant working environment, media section, and initial optimization for mobile devices.
IT News? ORANGE M!
2010-2015With “ORANGE M” and “Orange Entertainment,” we operated our own business division until 2015: an IT news portal, information page for events and concerts, and our own media TV channel, “mdctTV.” In 2015, we decided to focus entirely on IT and software and discontinue this division.
Management with Lion Server
2012With the release of the “Lion” software, we have entered the field of server and client management. This includes general administration of Windows Server as well as rollout and software management of Windows client systems. Start on console, later also with UI. We have developed new versions accordingly every year.
ROBSAFE BACKUP SOFTWARE
2012With RobSafe 2012, we developed backup software for Windows Server at the same time as Lion that backs up directories incrementally—simply and clearly on Windows CMD.
BUILDING CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
2014With initial online management of IT resources (both local and cloud-based) and a connection to our Lion Server Platform, we released the first Cloud Manager for online management of IT resources. This later became today's Cloud Management Suite.
THE COMPANY 🎉
2015
In order to continue growing and launch our own cloud, we founded our GbR in Scheyern, Bavaria (Germany). We have been an official company since September 29, 2015.
Cloud Office - Invoice & ERP
2015An experiment: with the release of our own invoicing software and customer management system “Cloud Office,” we also briefly ventured into the office and ERP sector. The software was also the first complete SaaS solution, but it was not further developed and was discontinued.
Lion 2015 - The last one
2015Lion Server 2015 was a complete solution for managing Windows Server environments, UI interface, own management console/terminal, as well as integration of RobSafe backup systems. However, with our continued focus on our cloud, we have discontinued further development. That said, Lion Server still runs on Windows Server 2025 today.
Cloud Management Suite
2018With the Cloud Management Suite, we have created a central management system for our software, products, services, and customers' own data. The software is now in its fourth generation and is constantly being updated. The Cloud Management Suite remains the central management hub for all our services to this day.
Virtual Server Hosting
2018What we previously achieved through partners, we now offer by ourselves: the first generations of managed virtual Linux servers, starting with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, are now available. Other operating systems such as Debian, CentOS, and Fedora will follow later.
The Brand "25Space"
2019Focus on the cloud and simplicity: our new name, “25Space,” expresses 25 hours of availability for space/cloud. We are initially starting with 25Space as a sub-brand for the cloud & hosting sector. Later, we will rebrand our entire market and completely discontinue the old “mdct Group.”
Business Mail
2020Digital communication is becoming increasingly important, especially in 2020. That's why we're launching our new “Business Mail” email service with a completely new web interface for all devices.
Windows Server Hosting
2021With the help of new partners, we are also launching an offering for Windows Server. This gives our customers significantly more options—but also appeals to many who want to be able to take their workplace with them quickly and easily wherever they go.
Get ready with AI
2023In 2023, we will launch AI services, including the first chatbots for customers, as well as customer information videos, which we will create entirely with the help of AI.
The Super-App "ONE"
2024Initially launched as “Welcome,” we developed our ONE service into a super app and all-in-one website. This also integrates other services such as the file transfer service “25Share,” “URLShortner,” “QR Code Generator,” and more. The platform is continuously expanded and further developed on an almost weekly basis.
Managed Databases
2025
In 2025, we will release a product that has been powering many customer systems for years: Managed MySQL databases. This will make everyday life easier and more flexible for many customers.
At the sime time we released our certificate check service.
