How it started

Your.Online was founded by experienced entrepreneurs in domain services, web hosting, and security & trust services. The group is backed by Strikwerda Investments, a Dutch family office specializing in IT investments. For the companies in the group, this means continuous access to capital to accelerate growth, both organically and through acquisitions.

From day one, the perspective has been long term: online services companies are destined for something bigger. They are set to play a leading role in the fundamental transformation of business, life, and society. In a world of online possibilities and trust, Your.Online is here to make that vision a reality.

Vision

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Under a decentralized model, group companies keep full autonomy over their customers, teams, products and brands. At the same time, they share knowledge and expertise, which strengthens not just each other, but also their customers and employees.
At Your.Online, you get entrepreneurship, freedom, growth, knowledge sharing and value creation. Companies that join get a partner for the long term, backed by a proven buy-and-hold-forever strategy. Success comes from doing it together.

  • Growth & performance
  • Sharing best practices
  • Autonomy & together
What you can count on
Decentralized model

You stay independent and free.

Entrepreneurs stay in control of their operations, brand, team, office, culture and values: everything that makes them unique. This ensures they can operate with full autonomy while benefiting from being part of a larger group.

Buy & hold forever

Join a group built for the long term.

With buy & hold forever, you don’t just exit once: you keep benefiting from future success. The partnership model combines an initial exit with the opportunity to reinvest, so you share in the value created together.

Knowledge sharing

Capital, expertise and proven strategies.

60+ transactions across the market segments have produced data-driven playbooks that help drive revenue, optimize operations and accelerate innovation. The combined scale also lowers costs and increases efficiency.

Timeline

The brands on this timeline, and the partnerships behind them, brought Your.Online to where it stands today. The group keeps growing every day, adding unique knowledge, experience and expertise.

The Start
Your.Online was formed by a group of seasoned domain and web hosting entrepreneurs, brought together by Strikwerda Investments. Realhosting was the first to join, soon followed by platform company Yourhosting, a top 3 player in The Netherlands, and Versio, one of the country’s fastest-growing web hosting providers, laying a strong foundation.

Scaling
Rapid growth made Your.Online the market leader in The Netherlands. Expanding its services, the group welcomed Savvii, Europe’s first Managed WordPress hosting provider. Many more companies joined, including PCextreme, which became the technical backbone of the organization. This phase cemented Your.Online’s position as a powerhouse in web hosting and domains.

Exploring
Your.Online took its first step beyond Dutch borders with the acquisition of Axarnet. As a growing player in Spain, Axarnet had already made some acquisitions. Seeking a partner with buy-and-build expertise to support their growth, they joined Your.Online, accelerating expansion and strengthening the group’s position in the European web hosting and domain market.

Expanding
Your.Online broadened its reach by adding premium managed hosting services to its portfolio. The acquisition of Nexylan in France marked the first step, quickly followed by Shock Media in The Netherlands. This strategic move laid the foundation for a strong performance hosting segment, reinforcing the group’s position in high-end hosting solutions.

Diversification
Your.Online expanded beyond hosting, entering the digital trust market with Reconi, the Dutch market leader in eID services, and by founding the Trust segment to meet the growing need for trust in digital communications. Meanwhile, growth in France accelerated as o2switch, one of Europe’s fastest-growing web hosting companies, joined the group. This phase marked a major step in strengthening both security & digital trust services and international market presence.

A New Era
The merger with Gandi marked a defining moment, officially creating Your.Online. WiseFundaments joined, enhancing the performance segment with digital development and online marketing services. The security and trust division grew with Digitrust and Avensus. Growth continued as Realtime Register, an ICANN-accredited domain management specialist, became part of the group, expanding its global domain expertise.

Global Expansion
A new chapter began as part of Your.World, a leading global powerhouse of web hosting, online productivity, and managed IT services. With the ambition to further accelerate growth, key moves were made across major markets. The first step into Germany came with 1blu, while Heart Internet established a presence in the UK, and Pair marked the entry into the US. These acquisitions have strengthened the group’s position as a global industry leader, and this is just the beginning.

New Markets
The year 2025 marks the beginning of a new phase in Your.Online’s international growth journey. Building on a strong presence in Western Europe, the group has entered the Nordics with the acquisition of Inleed, a high-performing hosting provider in Sweden. The year also saw new partnerships with manitu, in Germany, okITup in Spain, and ecomDATA in Austria. Three strong and independent brands that align with Your.Online’s long-term, decentralized model.

Expanding depth and reach
The year 2026 marks another step forward in Your.Online’s international expansion. With the acquisition of UK2 Group, the group has significantly strengthened its footprint in both the UK and US markets; two regions with deep-rooted digital demand and strong growth potential. In parallel, the acquisition of Shellrent has expanded Your.Online’s presence segment in Southern Europe, with a specific focus on Italy. These moves reinforce the group’s commitment to scaling through local excellence: entrepreneurial brands with proven performance, regional expertise, and strong customer relationships.
