UK hosting provider Paragon Internet Group Limited is delighted to announce its acquisition of the well-respected hosting provider, Hostroute. Founded in 1998, Hostroute has been a name synonymous with quality for over a decade and provides thousands of clients with excellent shared hosting and domain registration services through its website, Hostroute.com.

Following the acquisition by Paragon, Hostroute customers can now take advantage of 365-day telephone and e-mail support. Plans are already in place for a seamless migration to brand new enterprise-grade server hardware to further improve both performance and reliability for all customers. Prices will remain unchanged for existing customers and all accounts will receive the popular R1soft Continuous Data Protection tool and Softaculous script installer, amongst many other enhancements, at no extra cost.

"Hostroute is already an excellent brand but there is always more we can do. We look forward to bringing our customer service ethos and high-end technology to the Hostroute customer base" said Adam Smith, Director of Paragon Internet Group. He further added, "Over the coming weeks, I will make myself available personally by telephone or e-mail to any Hostroute clients who have any concerns about the transition.”.

Headquartered in Maidenhead, Paragon Internet Group has over 40 years combined hosting experience at board level and operates some of the UK's most reputable hosting brands, providing over 20,000 clients with affordable, reliable solutions with a strong focus on quality of service.

A blog has been set up at http://blog.hostroute.com to keep customers updated regarding the acquisition, and clients are welcome to contact Hostroute on 020 3137 7651 or [email protected] with any queries.
 
Same with me. Yes, its somewhat emotional seeing it being sold on as it was a huge investment of personal energy and time. Good luck with it, and I hope it does well in its new incarnation. The stories I could tell of late nights dealing with outages, running support from a 9k mobile phone connection in a tent in France etc. The early days were tough, but eventually it became properly established with staff and an office.

Just so you know about the company name. It meant nothing really. I was struggling to find something with "host" in it and went to whois.net who were an early lister of dropped names and I saw hostroute.com on the list, realised it was a networking term and registered it. Was also available in .co.uk which was a bonus.
