With a very large portion of the major hosting companies owned and operated by EIG, it is important for you to know exactly what happens behind the scenes. In the web hosting industry, there is this misconception that “larger, well established companies will always offer the best in quality and service.” While this may be true for some industries, it definitely cannot always be attributed to the web hosting industry.

To date, EIG has control of over 60 web hosting brands – which include some of the major players in the hosting business, such as HostGator, BlueHost, HostMonster, iPage, FatCow, JustHost, Arvixe, A Small Orange, and HostNine. I have included some of my own opinion, however I feel that if you read through this whole post, follow the sources that I have referenced, and think about the whole EIG story things do add up.įor those who aren’t aware, Endurance International Group (EIG) is a Burlington, Massachusetts-based company known for its silent takeovers of some of the largest web hosting companies in the industry. I’ve been meaning to create this post for quite sometime because I knew it would be helpful to have a page dedicated to the subject of EIG hosting for visitors to reference: including their background, what hosting brands they own, noteworthy outages, and trends of reliability/support. Seeking an alternative to EIG/Newfold Digital hosting? This post here lists non EIG/Newfold Digital web hosts. Soon after Clearlake Capital Group completed it’s acquisition of EIG in early 2021 it announced the formation of Newfold Digital.

Important Update: Endurance International Group is now Newfold Digital.
