<p>Hi Yosem,</p>
<p>News travels fast ;-) We've just send out that message, minutes
ago.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p><br>
Mart<br>

For over 20 years, <a href="https://greenhost.net"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Greenhost</a>
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.<br>
<br>
To continue pushing our ideals and amplifying our
impact, we have recently become part of <a
href="https://thesharinggroup.com" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">The Sharing Group</a> (TSG).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b>Why this decision?</b><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
At the same time, we believe that companies like
Greenhost, -driven by principles, not just profits-
are needed more than ever.<br>
<br>
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
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steward-ownership" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">a steward-ownership model</a>.
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.<br>
<br>
<b>The Sharing Group</b><br>
<br>
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. <a
href="https://thesharinggroup.com/about/"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Since 2023,
TSG has also been moving toward a steward-ownership
model</a>, prioritizing societal impact over
financial profit.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
On behalf of the Greenhost Team,<br>
<br>
Mart van Santen<br>
Director<br>
