Digital Pacific acquires fellow hoster, Crucial
Web hosting provider Digital Pacific has expanded its operations by acquiring Crucial, another of Australia’s most established hosting providers.
While the agreement will see the two companies merge, they’ll continue to trade separately under the Digital Pacific and Crucial brands.
Both businesses entered the Australian market at similar times, starting with a few servers in their bedrooms.
“Our stories are quite similar, both starting in small Bondi apartments over 12 years ago growing to the established brands we are today,” said Digital Pacific Founder and CEO Andrew Koloadin.
Combined, the two businesses will have 70 employees.
“Digital Pacific is one of the oldest and most respected hosting companies in Australia,” said Crucial CEO David Murray. “The standard its team sets for the community is exceptional, and the Crucial team has a similar culture and ethos.
“I am looking forward to our teams combining. It will present a great opportunity for our customers with additional resources, fantastic support and high-performance infrastructure,” he added.
Digital Pacific said there are no planned changes to operations and both businesses will continue to operate without disruption to customers.
