That’s because to us, it’s not just a question of numbers - taking over an active client base is about finding the right fit. We want to provide an excellent service for your clients, not just acquire as many clients as possible. Quality trumps quantity.
Our technical ability and ethos give you the peace of mind and confidence that what you've worked so hard to create is going to a good home.
To date, we have been involved in 10 acquisitions. Each and every time we work closely with the seller to ensure a smooth client transition, minimising hassle for everyone involved.
Being fairly remunerated for your hard work.
Outstanding customer support — our clients love us!
A team of hosting heroes committed to doing things the right way (and the stats to back it up!)
We’ll consider purchasing the client base of any UK based shared hosting company. However, we don’t purchase physical assets as we’ll migrate all clients to our eco-friendly London data centre powered entirely by green energy, and place them on our own equipment. We are experts at migrating sites, and we guarantee a smooth, painless migration with minimal disruption of service.
You can increase the valuation of your company if it matches any of the following:
We're able to acquire companies up to £2,000,000.
We’ll offer 6-12 months of revenue generated from shared, business and reseller hosting accounts. We don't count domain revenue as we charge just above cost. We're also open to providing a bonus for hitting performance and retention targets on the anniversary. We've found this is a great way to ensure a smooth transition, which is a win for seller, buyer and the clients.
The important thing here is that we're not just interested in the amount of money that your clients make you, or could make us - we want to make sure we’re a good fit for your clients. We’re looking to take on board happy clients who respect quality and keep them happy, whilst protecting your legacy. If we're the right fit, we can build lasting relationships. Clients from previous acquisitions stay with us for years. Some have been with us a decade!

We'll work with you to notify your clients about the upcoming change of ownership and provide a timeline. This information will include where our support resources are located as well as our contact email and phone number.
In a vast majority of cases, we will be able to migrate clients over without downtime, out of peak hours.
If you'd like to get a better idea of how we handle migrations, have a look at our welcome page example that clients will gain access to when we acquire a company. Feedback from every acquisition we've ever done has been very positive because of the work we do beforehand.
I hope that you'll decide to talk to us.
Kind regards,
Simon Blackler - CEO
