13+ Years Building Hosting Solutions for Businesses

Hostking was founded in 2013 to build a reliable shared hosting platform with genuinely good customer experience. We moved to our own servers in 2015, expanded to EU data centers in 2018, and have grown into a distributed team of 12+ people as of 2024 — still working toward that same original promise.
