With its impressive year-on-year growth for the past three years and excellent reputation for shared hosting and domain registry services, RedCoruna is a perfect brand fit for Host Europe Group as it looks to expand its European and global reach, and with particular emphasis on Spain as a key market for growth.
RedCoruna customers will now have access to a larger selection of products and services, previously unavailable to them, including VPS, reseller hosting, Cloud hosting, dedicated servers, new domain extensions, and advanced email services.

Sharing the same cultural values as the Host Europe Group, RedCoruna’s dynamic and customer-focused approach to web hosting ensured it was a very appealing proposition. No redundancies will be made as part of the acquisition and Luis Veiga, Founder of RedCoruna will take on the role as country manager for the Spanish market.

Commenting Thomas Vollrath, CEO of the Host Europe Group, said:
“We have been impressed with the steady growth of the RedCoruna brand. With low churn and high levels of customer satisfaction, it has a customer-centric approach to business retention and development. This energy, coupled with a strong track record in web hosting in Spain, makes RedCoruna an extremely welcome addition to the Host Europe Group.”

Luis Veiga Founder of RedCoruna, added:
“This is an exciting chapter in RedCoruna’s history as we join one of Europe’s leading hosting groups. Together, we will certainly make waves in the Spanish hosting industry and our customers will continue to enjoy a first class offering, but now with a larger selection of products and services at the most competitive prices in Europe.”

A Virtual Private Server acts in the same way as a regular server but offers more freedom and control than a shared hosting package, with the power and adaptability of a dedicated server, yet without the additional expense. The new range from 123-reg has the added advantage of flexibility: customers can customise their VPS specifications at any time, adding more resources when they need it, and can amend specifications easily according to their own usage. The VPS service from 123-reg offers unrivalled choice and simplicity. Customers can choose between Plesk or cPanel control panel as standard. Each VPS comes with unmetered bandwidth, IP address and no minimum contract period.

In addition, customer relations is a primary focus for 123-reg, with 24/7 hardware monitoring by specialist technicians based within its UK data centre. Principally, this product is leading the industry by offering exceptional value for money, with Windows VPS available from just £9.99 a month and as such, significantly cheaper than a Linux VPS. Its flexible payment structure allows customers to set up an annual or monthly account, so any up-grading of specifications can be easily implemented.

Thomas Vollrath, CEO of 123-reg comments: “We are committed to listening to the needs of our customers, and that is why we are offering this brand new VPS service at such an unbeatable price. This service puts the control back in the hands of our customers, giving them the ability to amend the product to meet their own personal specifications, and aligned with the compelling launch offer of Windows being more competitively priced than Linux, we are therefore ensuring our VPS package offers the best value in the market.”
