Is it time to consider an Exit from Hosting?

Many hosting business owners find themselves at a crossroads after years of dedicated service.

Perhaps you’re:

Approaching retirement after building your hosting business in the early 2000s
Finding the technical demands increasingly complex and time-consuming
Ready to focus on other aspects of your business or new opportunities
Concerned about the growing security and compliance requirements
Simply ready for a change after years of 24/7 availability

Whatever your reason, Jetumo offers a respectful, professional path forward that honours your work while ensuring your clients continue receiving excellent service.

The Jetumo Difference: Clients Only, Not Corporate Takeovers

Unlike traditional business acquisitions, we focus specifically on acquiring and serving your clients—not buying your entire business entity.

This approach means:

A cleaner, simpler transaction process
No complex business entity transfers or liabilities
Focus entirely on client care and transition quality
Flexible deal structures that align with your needs
Ongoing involvement options if desired

We’re not a faceless corporation looking to add numbers to a spreadsheet. We’re hosting professionals who understand the personal relationships you’ve built with your clients.

Our Client-First Transition Process

Your clients deserve a seamless experience during any ownership change. Our proven approach ensures minimal disruption while maintaining the quality service they expect:

Thoughtful Planning: We develop a customized migration plan tailored to your specific client needs
Clear Communication: Joint messaging ensures clients understand the transition and benefits
Technical Excellence: Our migration specialists ensure websites work flawlessly throughout the process
Continuous Support: Heightened support availability during transition addresses any concerns quickly
Performance Improvements: Clients often experience better speed and reliability after migration

Flexible Acquisition Approaches

We understand every hosting business is unique. That’s why we offer several transaction structures to match your specific situation:

Server-by-Server Transition

Ideal for larger portfolios with multiple infrastructure units
Gradual transition allowing for server decommissioning
Phased payments aligned with successful migrations
Reduced complexity and risk for both parties

Seller Financing Options

Minimal upfront payment requirements
Ongoing revenue share from retained clients
Aligns our success with your clients’ satisfaction
Creates win-win scenario for long-term value

Affiliate Relationship

Convert client base to ongoing commission revenue
Perfect for smaller portfolios seeking continuity
No technical management responsibilities
Maintain connection to clients and revenue stream

Fair Valuation Methods

We believe in transparent, fair valuations based on industry standards and the specific qualities of your client portfolio. Our approach typically considers:

Monthly recurring revenue multipliers
Client longevity and retention history
Technical compatibility and migration complexity
Average revenue per client
Growth potential within our service model

Every valuation is customized to your specific situation, with clear explanations of how we arrive at our offer.

Who We’re Looking For

We specialize in acquiring clients from hosting providers who match several of these characteristics:

Established hosts with 5-25+ years in business
Small to mid-sized client portfolios (10-100+ clients)
Focus on quality service rather than budget hosting
WordPress and CMS-focused hosting preferred
Strong client relationships and reputation
Clear, organized client and technical documentation
Interest in ensuring clients receive excellent ongoing service

The Confidential Conversation Starts Here

We understand discretion is essential when considering an exit. Your initial inquiry remains completely confidential, and we’re happy to sign an NDA before detailed discussions.

Frequently Asked Questions

A quick list of some very common questions we thought might help you.

How do my clients benefit from this transition?

Your clients gain access to Jetumo’s modern infrastructure, enhanced performance, and comprehensive support. Many clients experience faster loading times, improved uptime, and additional services not previously available.

How are clients notified about the change?

We work together on a joint communication plan, typically starting with an announcement from you introducing Jetumo, followed by a welcome message from our team. This approach maintains trust and provides reassurance throughout the transition.

Will pricing change for my clients?

We generally maintain existing pricing through the transition period. Any future adjustments are approached thoughtfully with appropriate notice and often include enhanced features or services.

How long does the transition process take?

The timeline varies based on portfolio size and complexity, but typical transitions range from 30-90 days. We prioritize quality and client satisfaction over speed.

What level of involvement is expected from me?

Your participation in planning and initial client communications is invaluable. Beyond that, involvement is flexible based on your preferences, ranging from ongoing consultation to a complete handover.

What happens to my business entity after the transition?

Since we’re acquiring clients rather than your business entity, you maintain complete control over your company. Many sellers choose to wind down operations after transition, while others pivot to new services.
