For over 20 years, Greenhost has focused on what we believe truly matters: sustainability, digital civil rights, and security. These ideals are at the core of what we do, and we’ve pursued these ideals with great passion and conviction— and we remain as committed to them today as we were when we started.
To continue pushing our ideals and amplifying our impact, we have recently become part of The Sharing Group (TSG).
Greenhost’s small scale and independent position are a key reason for some of our customers to host with us. That’s why we’d like to explain the new partnership, why we made this decision, and what it means for the future.
Why this decision?
In recent years, the hosting industry has evolved significantly. Hosting has become increasingly complex, with ever-growing technical challenges, more advanced security threats, stricter legal requirements, and rising customer expectations. Our small scale made it harder for us to navigate these changes while staying true to our ideals.
At the same time, we believe that companies like Greenhost, -driven by principles, not just profits- are needed more than ever.
Over the past few years, we’ve explored various ways to secure our future by building a more robust business model, all while safeguarding our ideals. We explored the possibility of partnering with socially conscious investors and implementing a steward-ownership model. Ultimately, we found that joining forces with TSG enables us to stay true to our values while benefiting from the stability and resources of a larger organization.
The Sharing Group
TSG is a family of companies with values that we strongly identify with. TSG focuses on strengthening the sharing economy and aims to accelerate the energy transition — goals that align closely with our own green objectives. Since 2023, TSG has also been moving toward a steward-ownership model, prioritizing societal impact over financial profit.
Within TSG, Greenhost will remain largely autonomous. Our name, our team, and our products will stay the same and we will continue to prioritize sustainability, digital civil rights, security, and open-source software.
At the same time, this partnership opens up new opportunities. Greenhost will take a leading role in developing cloud services for the group, providing a meaningful alternative to Big Tech.
We are confident that this collaboration will strengthen our mission and help us make an even bigger impact. As always, if you have questions, we are happy to answer them.
