What EVOLIATIS does

Evoliatis is a French IT services company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Saint-Étienne, operating as a SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) with a registered capital of €10,000. The company delivers managed web hosting, server administration (infogérance), data backup solutions, and customized professional training to web agencies, digital-native businesses (pure players), and small-to-large enterprises across France. Its service portfolio spans three hosting tiers — shared (mutualisé), virtual private server (VPS), and dedicated — each bundled or standalone with 24/7 monitoring, intrusion detection, daily automated backups with up to 30-day retention, and human technical support reachable by phone during business hours. A core product differentiator is the absence of packaged plans: every hosting architecture is custom-designed to client requirements, including mixed-technology environments (e.g., ASP plus PHP on the same machine).

The technology stack is built primarily on open-source software running on Scaleway (formerly Online.net) infrastructure, with which Evoliatis has maintained a 17+ year partnership. Core infrastructure components include Scaleway bare-metal servers, Kapsule managed Kubernetes clusters deployed across two Parisian datacenters (FR-PAR1 and FR-PAR2), VPC private networking, Load Balancer integration, Cockpit/Grafana monitoring, and managed databases. Containerization is implemented via Docker, infrastructure is provisioned declaratively using Terraform with the Scaleway provider, and monitoring uses Nagios and related open-source tools. The company supports PHP 5.6 through 8.1 and uses a web-based VSCode environment (code-server in Docker) for client training and internal development, with deployment scripts published openly on GitHub. Evoliatis manages approximately 40 physical servers and more than double that number of virtual machines and containers.

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue from hosting and managed services with project-based revenue from professional training. Hosting pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; training courses are priced at fixed rates (e.g., €2,250 for a 3-day Kubernetes beginner course, €3,750 for a 5-day Linux administrator course) and the company holds Qualiopi certification enabling VAT-exempt invoicing for training. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: a free 10-minute discovery call with founder-director Samuel Collado serves as the primary conversion mechanism, supported by a technical blog, client testimonials, and a LinkedIn presence. Distribution is direct only, with no resellers or marketplace listings. The company holds Qualiopi, ICPF, and Scaleway Foundation certifications, and is pursuing Label Numérique Responsable Level 1 as part of Digital League's third promotion.

Direct peers

• PlanetHoster: French-origin (now Canadian-headquartered) hosting provider offering shared, VPS, dedicated, and managed hosting for SMBs and resellers. Comparable tier structure, language, and SMB/agency target market to Evoliatis.
• Alwaysdata: French independent managed hosting provider offering shared, VPS, dedicated, and managed services with a strong emphasis on technical support and open-source stacks. Directly comparable to Evoliatis in scale, target customer (French SMBs, agencies), and customization-led positioning.
• Infomaniak: Swiss independent cloud and hosting provider offering shared, VPS, dedicated, managed services, and training with a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability, and data sovereignty. Comparable to Evoliatis in philosophy (boutique, quality-led, custom architecture) though operating in Switzerland rather than France.
• Gandi: Paris-based hosting and domain registrar with managed hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and cloud services targeted at developers and SMBs. Similar independent French positioning, comparable product tiers, and a strong focus on customer support quality.
• Ikoula: French hosting and managed cloud provider with shared, dedicated, VPS, and infogérance offerings for SMBs and agencies. Operates in the same custom-managed-services niche as Evoliatis, with a similar French footprint and SMB/agency customer focus.
• Clever Cloud: French PaaS provider offering managed hosting of applications, databases, and containers with a strong open-source and European-sovereignty positioning. Comparable in French origin, open-source expertise, and developer-focused customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Scaleway: Major French cloud provider and Evoliatis's strategic infrastructure partner, offering bare-metal, Kapsule Kubernetes, databases, and managed services at scale. Relevant both as a partner/dependency and as a broad incumbent that could compete directly by offering its own managed-service tiers.
• OVHcloud: Largest European cloud and hosting provider with shared, VPS, dedicated, and managed services at massive scale. Directly competes with Evoliatis in product categories and French market, but operates as a hyperscale incumbent with self-service rather than boutique customization.
• Hetzner: German hosting provider known for cost-effective dedicated servers, VPS, and managed cloud services with strong developer adoption. Comparable in its open-source/Linux focus and SMB/developer target market, but operates at much larger scale across Europe.
• IONOS: Large European hosting and cloud provider (formerly 1&1) with shared, VPS, dedicated, and managed offerings across many European markets. Competes in the same SMB hosting categories as Evoliatis but at much greater scale and with standardized packaging.
