Key Takeaways
Global web host Hosting.com officially entered the Bangladesh market through a strategic partnership with a local Dhaka-based provider, EyHost.
Hosting.com held an invite-only launch event at Sheraton Dhaka on Jan. 14 at 5 p.m. local time, which included keynote speakers and a road map for the partnership. Details have yet to be released, though they’ll likely come post-event.
So while the exact nature of the Hosting.com-EyHost collaboration hasn’t yet been disclosed, it very well may resemble a hybrid model where EyHost retains customer-facing operations backed by Hosting.com’s infrastructure and brand trustworthiness.
What we can also gather is that this is just the latest in Hosting.com’s move into becoming a more global brand. Rebranded from A2 Hosting in early 2025 as part of a global consolidation under World Host Group, the company’s been working round-the-clock to build a larger global customer base with services currently spanning North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Hosting.com’s Moves to Expand Globally
While Bangladesh is part of the broader APAC zone, this raises the question: Why target Bangladesh, a smaller market, rather than larger digital economies like India or China?
The launch actually follows Hosting.com’s recent acquisitions across APAC, including:
- Webcentral (Australia): Acquired in 2023 to expand its presence in the Australian domain and hosting market
- HostingRaja (India): Also acquired in 2023, gave Hosting.com access to major infrastructure and customer reach in South Asia
Bangladesh’s digital economy has grown significantly over the past few years, with large thanks to government efforts and the younger market joining the internet in masses. At the end of last year, Bangladesh had 83 million people online, and many of them were around the median age of 26, which includes a large freelancing presence.
But those local freelancers and startups struggle with service quality, security, and consistent support. Much of Bangladesh is very rural, with more than half of the population still offline. A local partner like EyHost can help Hosting.com navigate the intricacies of working with Bangladesh’s economy and population.
Based on Hosting.com’s presence in India alone actually tells a lot about what the company plans to do in Bangladesh. In its own words, Hosting.com has more than 120 employees now based in Bangalore and works with customers in a “truly Indian way — phone calls, WhatsApp, and sometimes bartering.”
For example, Bengali customers may expect Bangla-language support, mobile-first interfaces, and local payment integrations like bKash. There will also likely be local hiring and regional pricing flexibility. And like India, Bangladesh’s hosting market is largely shaped by freelancers, micro-agencies, and SMEs, so fast and inexpensive service is an expected demand.
And having EyHost as its partner gives Hosting.com the bridge it needs for the trust, infrastructure, and expertise that a foreign company alone may otherwise struggle to replicate.
