Hosting M&A & Domain Names

In WP Legends Episode 171, Freddy Schiwek shares his path from publishing a Commodore 64 magazine as a teenager to EuroDNS and Domain Invest, then building hosting.co.uk into a hosting business he sold to World Host Group, and now working on marketing and acquisitions at Namespace Group, including hosting.de.

They dig into why Luxembourg punches above its weight in internet infrastructure, how an exact-match domain became a hosting business, what sellers should prepare before an acquisition, why buying a client base can be faster than acquiring customers one by one, what sets hosting.de apart in Germany, why data sovereignty matters for hosting, and why he thinks AI is making it easier than ever to become an entrepreneur.
