World Host Group (WHG), a global leader in web hosting and cloud services, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Nimbus Hosting, a UK-based carbon-neutral hosting provider.
This acquisition is a key step in WHG’s strategic expansion, strengthening its position within the global agency hosting market while enhancing Nimbus’s eco-friendly managed services with new global resources.
Why Nimbus?
By working with World Host Group, Nimbus will continue to deliver its stellar, eco-friendly managed hosting services for digital agencies and freelance developers while benefiting from WHG’s global infrastructure, round-the-clock support, and larger pool of resources.
“This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for World Host Group as we continue to grow and evolve,” says Stefan Hiscock, WHG’s Head of Mergers and Acquisitions. “By combining the best practices of World Host Group with the innovations from Nimbus Hosting we are better equipped to deliver exceptional value to our global customers. As we move forward, we remain committed to our core mission of providing top-tier web hosting services, fortified by our expanded capabilities in account management, security, and global support.”
Why It’s a Perfect Match
Nimbus Hosting brings a wealth of expertise in the agency sector, offering intuitive, all-in-one platform solutions for managing multiple websites, while boasting an eco-friendly approach through their carbon-neutral data centres.
“Nimbus has a razor sharp focus on providing a suite of hosting services for agencies throughout the UK,” says Seb de Lemos, CEO of WHG. “We’re excited to expand that focus, working with agencies to be their trusted partner both in and outside the UK.”
And as Nimbus Hosting’s Founder and OD, Tim Dunton puts it, “We’re excited to be joining forces with WHG and their ambition for growth, focus on technology and customer service. Working with WHG provides our clients with access to new data centres, 24/7 global support, and more tools and services.”
What This Means for Customers
Existing Nimbus Hosting customers will continue to enjoy the same great service and eco-friendly hosting but will now have access to WHG’s broader range of offerings, including faster development pipelines, enhanced collaboration tools, and new global data centres. WHG’s history of successful acquisitions since its start in 2019 illustrates its capability to integrate new businesses while improving upon their existing services. Plus, Nimbus takes WHG into the agency hosting market where WHG doesn’t have a significant presence, providing cross-selling opportunities between both businesses.
“We know that agencies need trusted, technical support, and collaboration tools – many of our Nimbus clients also understand that hosting can be a real revenue driver for them,” says de Lemos.
Dunton added, “I’m really excited to see how we can expand the existing platform, offer more features and add-ons to our clients.” With this acquisition, World Host Group will integrate and amplify Nimbus’s strengths, ensuring that customers receive unparalleled support and tailored services that meet their specific needs.
