For whom
For whom is an acquisition of interest?
There may be several reasons to transfer a hosting or WordPress portfolio.
Freelancers and self-employed web designers
Have you built up a portfolio of WordPress websites and hosting clients over the years, but want to stop or focus your attention on other work?
We can take over the hosting account and ensure that your customers continue to receive support.
Marketing and Web Design Agencies
For many agencies, hosting began as a supplementary service. As the number of clients grows, so do the demands for technical management, support, billing, updates, and troubleshooting.
Would you like to focus entirely on design, marketing, or development again? If so, Minty Hosting can take over your hosting operations and the associated management.
Web Hosting Companies
Are you looking to sell your hosting company, divest part of your customer base, or discontinue certain hosting services? We’d be happy to explore the possibilities for a full or partial acquisition.
It doesn't have to be exclusively about WordPress. Portfolios with domain names, standard web hosting, email, and other hosting services can also be of interest.
Any size
From 5 websites to a full-service hosting company
A portfolio doesn't have to include hundreds of clients to be of interest to us. Do you have five, twenty, or a hundred websites? Or perhaps a full-fledged hosting company with a large client base?

Experienced partner
Experienced WordPress and hosting partner
A takeover isn't just about moving websites to a different server. You're transferring customers who have sometimes been with you for years.
That is why we believe it is important for them to work with a provider that understands both hosting and the technology behind it.
Minty Hosting has extensive experience with WordPress, WooCommerce, and managed hosting. We manage the underlying infrastructure and can also provide support for technical issues within WordPress.
Depending on the existing services, we provide, among other things,
Fast, reliable hosting
WordPress and WooCommerce Management
Updates and Maintenance
Monitoring
Backups and Recovery
Performance Optimization
LiteSpeed and Caching
Redis
Database Optimization
Domain and DNS Management
SSL certificates
Technical Support
This way, existing customers can continue to use their services as much as possible without having to look for a new hosting provider themselves.
Also for WooCommerce and more complex websites
Not every website in a portfolio is the same. In addition to standard WordPress websites, we can also host larger WooCommerce online stores and custom WordPress environments.
When a website requires more than standard web hosting, we look for a suitable infrastructure that includes, for example:
LiteSpeed
Redis
Dedicated resources
CDN
Separate server and database environment
This also makes it possible to accommodate technically more complex clients within a single portfolio at Minty Hosting.
Minty Hosting Ă— Minty Media
Hosting and development under one roof
A key advantage of Minty Hosting is our close collaboration with Minty Media. As a result, our technical expertise doesn't stop at the hosting server.
If a customer needs help with WordPress, WooCommerce, custom development, an integration, or other technical tasks, we can provide support for those as well.
Your customers aren't just provided with hosting; a team will also remain available for future technical work.
Migration
A Careful Migration
Migrating a hosting portfolio requires preparation. Websites must remain accessible, emails must not be lost, and DNS, domain names, SSL certificates, and other technical components must be transferred correctly.
That is why we conduct a preliminary assessment of the existing environment and draw up a migration plan.
Whenever possible, we implement the transition in phases to minimize risks and ensure that customers experience as little disruption as possible.

Why Minty Hosting
Why Sell Your Portfolio to Minty Hosting?
A hosting portfolio is more than just a collection of websites and contracts. Behind every website is a customer who expects their website, online store, domain, or email to continue functioning. That’s why we want to handle acquisitions personally and with care. At Minty Hosting, we combine:
Hosting Infrastructure
WordPress knowledge
Technical Management
Personalized Dutch Support
Whether you want to shut down your business, streamline your services, or sell your entire hosting company, we’d be happy to work with you to find a suitable solution.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Portfolios that include domain names, standard web hosting, email, and other hosting services can also be of interest, as can larger WooCommerce online stores and custom WordPress environments.

We conduct a preliminary assessment of the existing environment and develop a migration plan. Where possible, we implement the transition in phases to minimize risks and ensure that customers experience as little disruption as possible.
Is the first consultation non-binding and confidential?
Yes. The initial meetings are non-binding. We’ll discuss, in confidence, how your portfolio is structured, what matters to you in an acquisition, and what options are available.
How is an acquisition structured?
That depends on the size and composition of the portfolio. We consider factors such as clients, revenue, contracts, and services, and can discuss various acquisition structures.
