We started HostingDon in 2018 because we were tired of paying for hosting that was loud about features and quiet about performance. So we built the opposite — infrastructure that just works, support that actually helps, and a pricing page you don't need a magnifying glass to read.
The web has gotten complicated. Hosting shouldn't be the part that's complicated. We obsess over the basics — fast servers, honest uptime, easy migrations, fair pricing — so that the people we host can spend their time building things that matter, not debugging DNS at 2 AM.
Every millisecond matters. We benchmark TTFB and response times daily, publish them publicly, and treat regressions like outages — because to your users, they are.
Median first-response time in chat: 94 seconds. Every support engineer has shipped production code somewhere. No tier-1 scripts. No "have you tried turning it off and on again."
No fake countdown timers. No pre-checked upsells at checkout. No renewal prices buried six clicks deep. If we're embarrassed to show you something at signup, we don't put it there.
Status page is real-time, not curated. Post-mortems for any incident over 5 minutes are public within 72 hours. We publish what stack we run, why, and what we'd change.
Every datacenter we run is matched 100% with renewable energy purchase agreements. Our hardware refresh cycle prioritizes performance-per-watt over raw speed. We publish a yearly carbon report.
We don't ship weekly. We don't move fast and break things. Hosting is critical infrastructure — the most exciting thing we want to do is be utterly, predictably reliable.
Maria and David spent six months refusing to launch until our deploy-to-edge time hit under 90 seconds. It hit 81. We launched the next morning.
Word of mouth from a popular dev podcast got us our first traffic spike. We learned what "auto-scaling" actually means under load.
After running a beta with 500 WordPress sites for nine months, we shipped a WP-tuned platform with our own object cache layer. Hit 250k WP installs in year one.
Our cloud platform launched alongside a multi-region availability framework. Now serving fintech, healthcare, and enterprise customers with strict compliance needs.
Profitable since 2020. Bootstrapped, no VC funding. Every dollar of revenue is reinvested in infrastructure, support, and lower prices for customers.
We're 182 engineers, designers, and support specialists across 22 countries. Here's a slice of leadership.
Previously infra lead at a search company you've used today. Believes a good post-mortem is worth ten retrospectives.
Networking nerd. Built our edge layer from scratch because off-the-shelf options "felt slow when you actually measured them."
Joined as employee #14. Now runs the platform team. Her code review comments are legendary, occasionally feared.
Former SRE at three different companies. Refuses to let support be staffed by anyone who hasn't shipped production code.
WP core contributor since 2014. Has personally debugged white-screen-of-death on more sites than she'd like to count.
Spent a decade on the offensive side of security. Now plays defense, and is much harder to surprise as a result.
Believes the best dashboard is the one you never need to open. Designed our customer portal with that exact goal.
Joined to keep us honest about pricing. She's the reason renewals only go up by 25%, not 400%, like our competitors.
We're hiring across engineering, support, and design. Fully remote, async-first, with offices in Berlin, Singapore, and Austin for those who want them.
