What HPU internet services does

HPU Internet Services B.V. was a Dutch private limited company (B.V.) founded in 1996 and based in Doetinchem, Netherlands. The firm originally designed and developed websites, webshops, and other online applications, serving small and medium-sized Dutch businesses in the regional market. Its scale was modest, with a disclosed headcount band of 11-50 employees, and it operated as a for-profit private company with no public listing, no disclosed funding history, and no parent company structure prior to acquisition.

On January 1, 2026, HPU Internet Services B.V. was fully acquired by InternetToday (the trading name of TodayConcepts B.V.), a larger Dutch full managed services provider that has operated since 2001. The acquisition transferred all of HPU's customer accounts, services, and contractual obligations to InternetToday. Support operations followed on January 19, 2026. Post-transition, HPU's customer base accesses services through InternetToday's mijn.internettoday.nl self-service portal, gaining access to a broader portfolio spanning domain name registration across 1,200+ extensions, Linux/Windows and specialized WordPress/WooCommerce/Joomla/Magento web hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS) on Virtuozzo, managed and unmanaged dedicated servers, managed cloud services (AWS, Azure, Virtuozzo, CloudStack), SSL certificates, email hosting, software licenses, backup and disaster recovery testing, and SLA-backed infrastructure delivered from three ISO 27001 certified Dutch data centers. HPU's independent business model historically relied on project-based web design engagements combined with recurring hosting revenue from SME clients; under acquisition, that recurring book now monetizes within InternetToday's MSP pricing structure (entry-level hosting from €1.00 per month) rather than as a standalone HPU entity.
