Our customers have always been at the heart of Host Media, but our journey is also shaped by a deeper mission: to create positive change through technology.
Since launching Host Media in 2008, our mission has been clear: to deliver a truly outstanding hosting experience, built on performance, transparency, and care.
We combine enterprise grade infrastructure with robust features and affordable pricing, but what truly sets us apart is our purpose. At the heart of Host Media is a commitment to doing good, empowering small businesses to succeed, supporting meaningful causes, and operating with environmental responsibility.
Over the past 18 years, our services have evolved alongside our customers’ needs. Today, we host thousands of websites across three continents, and our global network continues to grow, guided by the values that inspired our journey in the first place.
Our journey began in 2002 with a passion for creating high-performance hosting solutions rooted in innovation. In those early days, we focused on media and video streaming, which at the time was an emerging space, all using advanced technologies like FFMpeg and Ming on high-powered Intel Xeon servers.
As the digital world expanded, so did we. With the launch of Host Media in 2008, we broadened our mission: to offer exceptional hosting while standing for something more. From the beginning, we've supported open-source projects, championed women in tech and motorsport, and backed small businesses with reliable, accessible solutions.
We’ve also embraced our responsibility to the environment by adopting green initiatives and investing in low PUE data centres, helping us operate sustainably as we grow.
Today, our expertise spans from media to a range of hosting options, and our dedicated team delivers trusted, 24/7 support to customers around the globe, all while staying true to the values that drive us forward.
We're a member of the RIPE NCC and run our own network (AS201323).
In simple terms, that means we're not just reselling someone else's infrastructure, we manage our own IP space and how traffic flows across our network.
It's one of the ways we keep things reliable, flexible, and under our control.
