Hi Yosem,
News travels fast ;-) We've just send out that message, minutes ago.
Please note, we will continue as a separate company, within the group,
and with the same people products and services. I am happy to answer any
questions, over this list, or mail me directly.
Cheers,
Mart

Greenhost
For over 20 years, Greenhost <https://greenhost.net> has focused on
what we believe truly matters: sustainability, digital civil rights,
and security. These ideals are at the core of what we do, and we’ve
pursued these ideals with great passion and conviction— and we remain
as committed to them today as we were when we started.
To continue pushing our ideals and amplifying our impact, we have
recently become part of The Sharing Group
<https://thesharinggroup.com> (TSG).
Greenhost’s small scale and independent position are a key reason for
some of our customers to host with us, and we understand that you may
have questions or concerns about this change. That’s why we’d like to
explain the new partnership, why we made this decision, and what it
means for the future.
*Why this decision?*
In recent years, the hosting industry has evolved significantly.
Hosting has become increasingly complex, with ever-growing technical
challenges, more advanced security threats, stricter legal
requirements, and rising customer expectations. Our small scale made
it harder for us to navigate these changes while staying true to our
ideals.
At the same time, we believe that companies like Greenhost, -driven by
principles, not just profits- are needed more than ever.
Over the past few years, we’ve explored various ways to secure our
future by building a more robust business model, all while
safeguarding our ideals. We explored the possibility of partnering
with socially conscious investors and implementing a steward-ownership
model <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steward-ownership>. Ultimately,
we found that joining forces with TSG enables us to stay true to our
values while benefiting from the stability and resources of a larger
organization.
*The Sharing Group*
TSG is a family of companies with values that we strongly identify
with. TSG focuses on strengthening the sharing economy and aims to
accelerate the energy transition — goals that align closely with our
own green objectives. Since 2023, TSG has also been moving toward a
steward-ownership model <https://thesharinggroup.com/about/>,
prioritizing societal impact over financial profit.
Within TSG, Greenhost will remain largely autonomous. Our name, our
team, and our products will stay the same and we will continue to
prioritize sustainability, digital civil rights, security, and
open-source software.
At the same time, this partnership opens up new opportunities.
Greenhost will take a leading role in developing cloud services for
the group, providing a meaningful alternative to Big Tech.
We are confident that this collaboration will strengthen our mission
and help us make an even bigger impact. As always, if you have
questions, we are happy to answer them.
On behalf of the Greenhost Team,
Mart van Santen
Director
