The Deluxe Australia web hosting business serves as a trusted hosting provider to more than 50,000 small business customers and hosts 250,000 websites. The acquisition expands Newfold Digital’s presence in the Australian market and will enable the acquired customers to benefit from Newfold Digital’s industry-leading brands, products, and customer support.

“Newfold Digital’s mission is centered on helping businesses of all sizes build and grow an online presence, so we are confident our Australia web hosting customers will be in good hands,” said Garry Capers, President of Cloud Solutions for Deluxe. “Throughout our ongoing transformation, Deluxe has concentrated our efforts on cross selling our many platforms, solutions and services to our four million small business customers and more than 4,000 enterprise and financial customers. To better manage our portfolio of businesses, and to emphasize our cross-sell abilities, it makes sense at this time to sell our Australia hosting operations to further refine our offerings in the North American market.”

“As a global company, we are always looking to grow our footprint and bring our industry-leading brands and customer support to small businesses around the world,” said Ed Jay, President of Newfold Digital. “A trusted web hosting service provider is essential for today’s online businesses, and Deluxe’s Australia web hosting business is an established platform. We are excited to welcome their customers and employees as we build upon our previous acquisitions of CrazyDomains and FreeParking to further enhance our position in the region.”
