Moderators of Wikipedia decided that Endurance International Group (EIG)’s page should NOT contain the list of the brands (including hosting) that EIG owns. So they edited the wiki page and removed the list of EIG hosting companies and other EIG brands. Although the wiki page did not contain the full list of hosting providers owned by Endurance International Group, I’ve fixed it my way – I’ve put together all EIG companies, brands and trade marks in one place in this post. I did it because otherwise it would be harder to find out the truth about hosting.

By the way, I check for new EIG acquisitions and update this list regularly.

This article was last updated on September 3, 2020





I want people to know which companies EIG controls, because I sincerely want to help people avoid EIG (you can find the reasons why in my hosting research and in this article in particular).

The last version of wiki page about EIG can be found in the Internet Archive here.

In addition, you’ll not find a full list of hosts that EIG owns on its official website. It confirms EIG’s strategy to make acquisitions silently, leave less footprints and so to hide the truth from people that many hosts do not operate independently, but belong to EIG. It makes users who are fed up with bad hosting performance switch from one host to another being unaware that they don’t really change hosting company.

EIG even removed a page from its website that said the following:

Acquisitions are a key component of our growth strategy. Using a proprietary methodology, we have completed acquisitions with more than 30 hosting companies and migrated hundreds of thousands of customers onto our platform since 2001.

(Source: a copy saved on June 28, 2012)

Why you should avoid Endurance International Group (EIG).

In very short, the main reason is that EIG has a very bad reputation of ruining the hosts it acquires. HostGator, Arvixe, A Small Orange, Site5 and so on – we all have heard a huge mass of horrible stories from former clients of these hosts which sharply deteriorated their services after being bought by EIG. EIG “optimizes” cost structure of the hosts it buys out, fires great (expensive) support staff and migrate clients to a worse hardware infrastructure.

Another reason is a strategic one – EIG’s core strategy is to expand as much as possible and profit for the needs of its shareholders. So, this is not about making hosting better for clients, or find a compromise between high quality and profit. This is a pure target of pleasing shareholders.

Being on a client side, I definitely oppose this approach of doing business in hosting. When a big company like EIG seizes a bigger share on the market by aggressive marketing and offering bad services, it ruins the web hosting ecosystem. As a result, great hosts become less noticeable by ordinary people who have less and less chances to get a good hosting services after next EIG acquisition.

That’s why EIG’s tendency to become a bigger corporation makes me not happy at all and I share this information with others.

Full List of EIG Hosting Companies (beware and avoid them!). The list is kept updated.

(The list is compiled mostly based on news in the mass media. See the sources below the list).

Also, use search on the page (Ctrl-F) to check if a company is included in the lists below and belongs to EIG.

[65] Sitelio.com, as well as Sitey.com and sitebuilder.com share the same web site builder as websitebuilder.com (owned by EIG). They don’t make it transparent, but it’s very likely so. Even their Terms and Services which are very similar, if not to say identical.

Conclusion

There is a clear tendency in the world in monopolization (not only in hosting industry by the way). Putting aside conspiracy and social and technological development, and talking only about shared hosting now, it’s obvious that more and more companies will be swallowed by EIG in the future. For you, as a hosting client, it means less quality for more money.

That’s why I recommend choosing non-EIG hosting.

And my choice is presented here.

Please feel free to let me know in the comments below or via a private message if you think there should be any updates in this post.

P.S.: I’ll be updating this post when new EIG acquisitions take place. Bookmark this page to refer to it one day you decide to buy hosting to make sure it does not belong to EIG.
