Ownership

Private equity buys hosting companies for predictable revenue, and the playbook is well documented: consolidate brands, raise renewal prices, reduce support cost, sell in a few years. The brand, the control panel and the support signature usually stay exactly as they were, which is why the field is worth recording — nothing visible changes, and the terms do. Several long-established names in this register are here.

4 providers are private-equity owned, listed alphabetically. Across 9 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 96 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
