Hostpoint, the largest Swiss web hosting provider, continued its strong growth trajectory in 2018. Last year the company achieved turnover of CHF 20 million - a 12% increase over the previous year. To keep pace with this sustained growth, Hostpoint moved into a new office in 2018.
Hostpoint is synonymous with customer focus, competence and reliability. In combination with its powerful, intuitive products and services, these attributes continued to inspire our customers in 2018 and helped the web hosting provider crack the CHF 20 million revenue mark (CHF 18 million in 2017). Hostpoint has consolidated its market standing as a leading web hosting provider and further expanded its position as a domain administrator. In 2018, Hostpoint managed 560,000 domains (+12% in comparison with 2017).
Last year, Hostpoint moved into a new, much larger office in the heart of Rapperswil. This new location puts the company in a perfect position to continue moving forward and to write the next chapter in its success story. The site features ultra-modern workspaces as well as meeting and project rooms, and an on-site cafeteria. As an attractive employer in a highly central location in Rapperswil, Hostpoint offers its 60 current employees top working conditions and is still on the lookout for motivated new hires.
A leading position, but development continues
"Our long-term development and prospects make me very confident about the future. As an owner-operated Swiss company, our Swissness will continue to score points on the market," says Hostpoint CEO Markus Gebert. "Our continued market success is also owing to the passion and persistence with which we develop our services and bring new products to market."
In this respect, Hostpoint once again made customer security its number one priority in 2018. It was the first Swiss provider to respond to the new security features of the Google Chrome browser and began offering its attractive Business EV SSL certificates for companies. Applicants must undergo exhaustive checks before they receive these certificates, signaling an extra level of trustworthiness and security to website visitors. In addition, over 150,000 websites managed by Hostpoint use the popular free solution from Let's Encrypt.
Last year, Hostpoint introduced a new integrated solution for comprehensive domain protection - Domain Shield, which combines the Domain Privacy and Domain Guard products. What's more, Hostpoint offers customers a free data processing agreement (DPA) offering guaranteed GDPR compliance. Last but not least, Hostpoint expanded its customer support offerings. Hostpoint plans to launch more new products in 2019 to further consolidate its role as a top innovator and market leader.
