HostColor - Cloud Hosting, Edge Servers, Dedicated Servers & VPS
Hosting infrastructure in over 100 Edge data centers

Edge Cloud & Bare Metal Servers

Since 1999, HostColor.com (HC) has been a trusted and well-known web hosting and Managed Infrastructure Service Provider (MISP). It began as a small European business owned by two individuals. For the first two years, HC used hosting services from Alabanza and and RackShack's dedicated servers hosted in Houston, Texas. While these providers offered acceptable uptime, they lacked adequate technical support. To deliver a premium SLA to customers, the HostColor team needed complete control over the IT infrastructure. For this reason HC established its first server colocation center in South Bend, Indiana, and colocated core equipment in one of New York City's primary telecommunications buildings, 60 Hudson Street. As of 2025, HostColor is one of the world's most distinguished providers of high-quality bare metal and cloud servers, with over 100 infrastructure points of presence (POPs) worldwide.

Our Story

Since 1999, HostColor.com has been a well-known and trusted web hosting and Managed Infrastructure Service Provider (MISP) worldwide. It started as a small European company with two owners who were challenged to find a reliable IT infrastructure to host their clients' websites and applications. For the first two years, HostColor.com used hosting services from Alabanza and dedicated servers from RackShack. They provided acceptable uptime, but lacked good technical support. In order to deliver premium service level agreements to its customers, the HostColor team needed complete control over its IT infrastructure and soon established its first server data center in South Bend, Indiana.
 
In 2003, Host Color LLC was incorporated in Wilmington, Delaware, and began maintaining colocation infrastructure in New York, Houston, Indianapolis, and South Bend, Indiana. Since then, HC has continued to expand its infrastructure. Today, HostColor.com is a globally recognized brand and reputable global MISP providing semi-managed edge bare-metal and cloud infrastructure in over 100 data centers worldwide.
 
Our organization values cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity, gender equality, and equal opportunity for all based on skills and creativity. We believe in open markets and free trade. We are convinced that an individual's identity can only be developed through a process of knowledge acquisition and personal achievement. The Internet and the digital economy have created a whole new world of opportunity, where knowledge, talent and hard work make it possible for everyone to succeed! But to do well, everyone needs encouragement and support. This is what the HostColor team is truly great at - helping our clients grow and achieve their goals.
 
We have over 25 years of invaluable experience in designing, deploying, automating, and maintaining IT infrastructures. We are part of the web hosting and cloud infrastructure industry, which has undergone several technology cycles. We began by hosting virtual hosting accounts (Shared Hosting) on physical servers and have since transitioned through various stages of the IT Hosting industry's transformation. This includes using virtualization technologies on standalone servers, building high-availability cluster systems of physical nodes, and creating, managing, and supporting advanced enterprise-grade cloud infrastructures that feature business continuity.

We provide different kinds of Intel-powered Edge Servers, AMD Dedicated Server configurations, Bare Metal Servers, Cloud Servers and Colocation hosting services.
