European EIG?

European EIG?

The only similarity between IT-Ernity and EIG is they're both holding companies that acquire hosting/Internet related providers.  Service quality tends to stay the same or improve after IT-Ernity acquires a company and the staff of acquired companies usually keep their jobs. If you want the European EIG equivalent you need to look at Host Europe Group who operate similarly to EIG

Interesting to see, back in the beginning this business changed owner a couple of times. After their rebrand in CloudVPS they have bee growing steady.
