What NetShop Internet Services Ltd does

NetShop Internet Services Ltd (operating as NetShop ISP) is a Cyprus-headquartered, privately held hosting infrastructure provider founded in 2006, with its principal office in Limassol. The company operates a global footprint of 15 data centers across 5 continents and 13 countries (including facilities in Cyprus, Malta, the UK, the Netherlands, the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Brazil), connected by an in-house designed global backbone. Its core offering spans bare-metal dedicated servers on enterprise-grade Dell hardware (Intel and AMD processors), KVM-based virtual private servers (including fixed, FLEXI, Forex, PoP, and OpenClaw variants), cPanel-powered web hosting, and PCI-DSS / ISO 27001 certified colocation in select European facilities. Add-on services include DDoS protection, premium DNS, Zimbra email, cloud backup, SSL certificates, cloud PBX, and managed SLAs, with a REST API available for developer integration.

The business sells primarily through a direct, sales-led motion targeted at enterprise and mid-market customers in regulated and latency-sensitive verticals — most prominently iGaming (Esagaming, Spadegaming, Betmaster, Winnersbet, Belleofx) and Forex/financial trading (DNSO, Syntellicore, OW Markets, Finthentic, Bullwaves), with additional positioning in Blockchain, Gaming, E-Commerce, Media Streaming, SaaS, and AI workloads. Pricing is subscription-based across monthly billing cycles, tiered by hardware specification, data center location, and contract scope, with instant-deploy SKUs and a custom-quote path for larger configurations. NetShop monetizes through recurring hosting fees, specialized vertical solutions (notably Forex VPS, XConnect ultra-low latency, and purpose-built iGaming hosting), and complementary managed services.

The company is led by founder and CEO Stefano Sordini and operates with a reported headcount of 1–10 employees against its infrastructure footprint, suggesting a lean corporate team supplemented by technical staff across data center locations. NetShop has been in continuous operation for approximately 20 years, celebrated its 20th anniversary milestone in 2026, and is actively investing in product expansion (OpenClaw VPS for AI, PoP VPS, Education Cloud, SaaS Solutions) and event-driven demand generation (iFX EXPO International 2026) without disclosed outside funding or ownership changes.
