Infrastructure that works as hard as you do.
We build the servers, the software, and the support teams so that developers and businesses can focus entirely on what they create — not on how it runs.
Innovation First
We adopt NVMe Gen4 storage, AMD EPYC processors, and HTTP/3 before they become industry standard — not after. Leading with technology means our customers get a head start.
Uncompromising Reliability
Our 99.99% uptime SLA isn't a marketing claim — it's backed by redundant power, multi-homed network connections, automated failover, and 24/7 on-call engineering across every region we operate.
Customer at the Center
Every product decision starts with a customer problem. Our support team is engineers, not script readers. We measure success by whether your business grows — and we build tools to make that happen faster.

Why switch from cPanel?
Over a decade of building better hosting.
Early Beginnings
The company started as a hardware reseller and server parts distributor, supplying rack servers, networking equipment, and storage hardware to small businesses and data centers. This early exposure to infrastructure built the foundation for everything that followed.
Rebranded & Pivoted to Hosting
Leveraging deep hardware expertise, the company rebranded as Host Technologies and pivoted to managed web hosting — offering shared hosting powered by owned, colocated hardware rather than leased resources.
VPS & Expansion
Launched VPS hosting and expanded data center presence to three regions under the host.com brand.
New Executive Leadership
The Board of Directors appointed new executive leadership to accelerate the company's infrastructure investment strategy and international expansion.
Cloud Platform Launched
Introduced our cloud compute platform with on-demand provisioning, NVMe storage, and managed Kubernetes — bringing enterprise-grade infrastructure to SMBs for the first time.
200,000+ Customers
Passed 200,000 active customers across shared, VPS, dedicated, and cloud products — spanning 120+ countries worldwide.
Host Control Panel & Open-Source Initiative
Released Host Control Panel — a modern, open-source alternative to legacy server management software — and launched the broader Host Technologies open-source initiative, contributing infrastructure tooling to the community.
12 Regions Worldwide
Expanded to 12 global data center regions, delivering low-latency hosting to customers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. The story continues.
