Tomaž Koštial, CEO of DHH.si, comments: “Domovanje, one of the brands of DHH.si, is an alternative word for home in Slovenian. In this spirit, we like to say that we welcome all clients of acquired companies to their new home. Si-Shell (brand of iServer d.o.o.) is the 5th largest hosting provider in Slovenia and it is well-known for its technical competency. We’re positive that we will justify the trust of our new clients and keep improving the level of service. Thanks to a larger client base, we expect to continue our double-digit growth in the next years. By acquiring Si-Shell, we also entered a new market of dedicated hosting. We expect to improve our competency in this area and introduce new related products in the near future.”
