Hostinger reached a significant milestone in July – we officially surpassed two million active subscriptions. This achievement marks a significant step forward and sets the stage for even more ambitious goals. Join us as we celebrate this journey of growth, innovation, and global impact. Take a look at how we reached this milestone and what it means for our future. 

Pushing the Boundaries 

It took 17 years to reach our first million customers and less than three years to reach our second. As our CEO Arnas Stuopelis says, this is only possible by having clients who trust us with their online projects and through the continuous efforts of our talented team.

“This figure shows that our customers value our services to help them start and succeed online, whether that’s through eCommerce shops, blogs, or websites showcasing their talents or services. With a team dedicated to delivering top results, we have pushed boundaries and unlocked new opportunities,” Arnas confirms. 

To celebrate the two million milestone, we organized a special Hostinger lotto to thank our team and especially our customers. Employees worldwide were invited to participate for a chance to win prizes specially curated from our clients’ products. Supporting our customers is a privilege, as it is their trust and online projects that make this achievement possible. 

Meeting Customer Needs 

Customer Obsession is the key principle that underpins every decision and drives us to achieve such milestones. We have Client Interviews and Customer Connection initiatives to get to know our customers better, learn about their challenges, and strategize on how to better meet their needs. To ensure that these are met, we talk to our clients daily.

Our Chief Customer Officer, Darius Grigorjevas, assures that our Customer Success specialists not only solve problems but they establish and build an emphatic relationship with customers. This is an exceptional advantage of Hostinger, which also perfectly reflects our company mission – to make online projects faster and customers happier 24/7.

“We aim to respond quickly and help our customers as much as possible so they can be successful online. Our ultimate goal is to provide the best possible technical solutions in no time, which is why we are unlocking the potential of AI with our new AI Assistant. We are ready to keep going and create even more value for our customers,” says Darius. 

Worldwide Possibilities

We have crossed borders and connected with clients from every corner of the globe, as our customers reside in more than 150 countries. This widespread reach has allowed us to gain insights into diverse markets, cultures, and customer preferences. 

The largest number of customers is recorded in India, with over 366 thousand active users. Brazil, the USA, Indonesia, and France are also among our biggest markets in the first half of 2023. This is closely followed by the United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Spain – making up the top ten.

Our customers often choose hosting or domain registration and management services. However, the increment in demand for website development tools drives strong customer growth. This area continues to have significant growth potential, especially with IoT possibilities. 

Continuing the Journey

By prioritizing personalized experiences and delivering cutting-edge technologies, we have earned the trust and loyalty of our clients. Reaching the milestone of two million customers worldwide is a testament to Hostinger’s dedication, exceptional products, and commitment to clients. 

This achievement motivates us to keep pushing boundaries and further expand our global presence. The journey to two million customers worldwide was just the beginning, and we are excited about what lies ahead!

The annual Hostinger Summerfest has just taken place. More than 300 people gathered in Trakai, the city of lakes, for this year’s celebration. 

This year, we invited Hostinger team members to embark on a Journey of Growth, symbolizing our collective progress and achievements. Hostinger employees from all over the world came to celebrate: there were people from Brazil, Indonesia, India, Lithuania, and other European countries. 

Akmenos Villas & Bungalow, the venue for the event, was turned into a magical place with people dressed in white, covered in glitter and golden tattoos. Our clients were part of the celebration, with Virtuvės Būrelis taking care of the food and Urban bartenders mixing the cocktails. 

Unforgettable Challenges and Experiences

A spectacular celebration demands a grand opening. After Vilnius Gospel Choir’s outstanding performance of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now, “Hostinger co-CEO Daugirdas Jankus made a speech full of gratitude and inspirational words. 

Leadership and teamwork were tested with the Epic Raft Race challenge. Teams built boats and rafts and competed against one another. While a number of the makeshift floatables successfully reached the finish line, the others, unfortunately, found themselves sinking beneath the waves. In addition, there was an enormous inflatable unicorn and plenty of standup paddleboarding boards in the lake that day.

Later, everyone could find an activity to suit them: leap onto an inflatable trampoline, participate in leatherworking workshops, take DJ lessons, and even walk on glass and nails. Healthy lifestyle practitioner Alanas Dzeranovas was there, too, and he’d brought an ice bath with him. He was teaching breathing exercises and guiding Hostingerians who dared to enter the icy waters of the bath. 

And what’s a summer party without a live musical performance? One of the most famous Lithuanian singers, Vaidas Baumila, graced the stage. Energy-filled dancing and singing was the best way to end the day and mark the beginning of Q3. 

First-Hand Impressions

For most of our colleagues from abroad, it was their first time visiting Lithuania. They were happy to share their thoughts about Summerfest and experiencing a new culture.

Roberta Correa, an Influencer Partnerships Manager, came from Brazil to Summerfest and said she’d never forget it. In addition to enjoying the party, she also had time to explore the Trakai Castle. 

“It felt very good to meet other teams in Lithuania. I had a chance to talk and get to know people personally, and some even recognized me! This kind of networking will help us to work together in the future,” Roberta shares. 

Work Hard, Play Hard

Rebecca Pimenta-Blight, a CS Talent Acquisition Lead, came from France and highlighted that she loved how green and beautiful Lithuania is. She was amazed at how many potato-based dishes Lithuanians have and how delicious they are. 

“I communicated with plenty of foreign colleagues at the party. This cultural exchange is valuable to understanding how to respectfully and effectively engage with people. The visit strengthened my connection to Hostinger and deepened my sense of pride and commitment as a remote contractor,” she says.

Breaking Culture Barriers

Daniela Chan, SEO Outreach Lead, came to the party from Portugal. During her visit, she felt relaxed because of the quiet streets and smaller crowds. It was Daniela’s first time attending Hostinger Summerfest, and she says it was interesting to see how Lithuanians party.

“Nothing beats meeting people face to face. So the highlight was my bonding with the team and meeting new people. This kind of connection helps break down some cultural barriers, and you can more easily appreciate the differences that can’t be transmitted online,” she acknowledges. 

Expectations Exceeded

As always, this year’s Summerfest was the place to combine cultures, discuss various topics, and take part in a number of activities. Most Hostingerians echoed the sentiment that the event had exceeded their expectations. They loved having the unique chance to bond with and meet people they had only interacted with online before. 

They also say that the Summerfest served as a reminder of Hostinger’s appreciation for their hard work and dedication. It was a good reminder that it’s necessary to find the time to relax and enjoy ourselves.

KTU GIFTed students dove deep into the Hostinger Challenge and presented business solutions for employer branding, employee experience, and Hostinger Academy topics. From crafting personalized scholarship solutions to breaking a world record in a bold outdoor campaign, they tackled the challenges with a fresh Gen Z mindset.

Unlocking Student Potential Through Effective Partnerships

Collaborations between businesses and students are beneficial for all involved parties. They provide a unique opportunity to discover fresh perspectives and ideas from the talent of the future.

The Hostinger Challenge uncovered the students’ innate ability to identify and leverage emerging trends and forecast the expectations of Gen Z talent entering the job market. At the same time, KTU students gained valuable project management experience and had the chance to contribute to an international product.

KTU Associate Professor Dr. Meda AndrijauskienÄ— adds to the importance of students acquiring hands-on experience in their early years of university:

“Every spring semester, I have the chance to work with KTU GIFTed students. Naturally, I feel responsible for delivering the most valuable project management experience. I strongly believe that this would be impossible without our business partners that can show the students how it works in the real world,” she says. “This time, the students had to perform a detailed situation analysis and offer solution alternatives. They did everything, including formulating project goals and risks, determining the success criteria, and developing their own web page to present their project plans and outcomes.”

Distributing Knowledge Through Original TikTok Content

Five strong teams tackled the Hostinger Challenge – each could pick from five proposed problems. The winners presented content strategies for Hostinger Academy’s TikTok Channel. 

Their reasoning was simple: with over 1 billion active users worldwide, TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms. This large user base presents a significant opportunity for companies to reach and engage with a wide audience, including potential customers and employees.

Mantas Stankaitis, captain of the winning team, says that the challenge matched the team’s expectations. As they were both familiar with and interested in TikTok, the opportunity to create a strategy for Hostinger’s account seemed like the perfect chance to leave a mark. 

“We saw an opportunity to disseminate knowledge and understanding of internet technologies to an audience that we’re also a part of,” Mantas shares. “The biggest challenge was coming up with original content that would have the potential to be successful on the platform. We conducted a thorough analysis and generated ideas based on both the Hostinger brand and the most successful videos on TikTok.” 

Transformative Ideation

The other teams picked different problems proposed by Hostinger. Two of them tackled employer branding challenges to attract Gen Z talent – one group developed a scholarship program, while the other was prepared to set a Guinness World Record for the highest altitude web development live stream. 

The two final teams took on the mission to make hybrid work more pleasurable for Hostinger employees – by providing actionable engineering changes and developing an internal motivational reward system.

Kudos go out to each student who accepted the Hostinger Challenge. We’re going to analyze the proposed solutions further over the summer and return to them in September when the new academic year begins!
