HostPapa acquires SecureLive

Burlington, ON – May 7, 2020

HostPapa, Inc., a leading Canadian cloud services provider specialized in providing web hosting solutions and services for small and medium businesses (SMBs), is continuing its growth strategy by acquiring the security brand SecureLive, previously owned by Add2Net, Inc., alongside other supporting brands.

Founded in 2008, SecureLive proactively protects websites through real-time continuous scanning to identify and block attacks, detecting and ejecting hackers before they can compromise websites or potentially intrude on sensitive information.

The acquisition of SecureLive further strengthens HostPapa's position in the United States marketplace, and further builds upon its capabilities to provide security solutions for businesses of all sizes. Other assets in the acquisition include HostLabs, a premium infrastructure and cloud provider.

"We'd like to welcome each SecureLive customer to the HostPapa family. We look forward to helping these small business owners enhance their protection from hackers and other threats to their business," said HostPapa CEO, Jamie Opalchuk. Commenting on the acquisition, he added: "Through this acquisition we strengthen our commitment to providing both SMBs and larger organizations across the world, and specifically in the market in the United States, with market-leading security solutions, supported by robust technology and world-class technical support."

For SecureLive customers, the acquisition means access to better infrastructure and a wide portfolio of fully-featured cloud products, backed by expert customer service — multilingual, available 24/7 by phone, email or chat — and powered by renewable green energy. In order to ensure a seamless and hassle-free transition, HostPapa will prioritize upgrading all the newly acquired customers' infrastructure, along with enhancing their current support coverage and potential portfolio of services.
