Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to our Bangalore office alongside Seb de Lemos as part of our We are hosting.com campaign which is an initiative that celebrates our people, our values, and our shared vision across the globe.
A celebration of unity and purpose
The We are hosting.com campaign is more than just a slogan. To me, it’s a reminder that we’re all part of something bigger. We are a global team connected by our purpose and our values. Even though hosting.com brings together many brands, this campaign shows that we’re united in one direction, with one vision, and one shared goal: to deliver world-class hosting experiences for every customer.
The vibrant energy of our Bangalore team
Walking into the Bangalore office, the first thing I noticed was the energy. It’s vibrant! A perfect mix of kindness, enthusiasm, and pride in the work being done. From the moment we arrived, I was smiling ear to ear. The team’s warmth and passion were contagious, and it reminded me why culture is such a powerful force behind everything we do.
We were joined by over 100 of our colleagues for a day filled with connection, collaboration, and celebration. The day included inspiring talks and discussions featuring:
- Ben Gabler and David Spellenberg on the future of Managed WordPress powered by Rocket
- Panos Kesisis on world-class customer care and automation
- Cory Miller on our open-source impact and WordPress contributions
- Ania Lesniak celebrating our Be Accountable Values Award winners
Proud moments and personal connections
For me, the most meaningful part of the trip was meeting the people I work with every day – Mani, Kingston, Abilash, Vahid, and so many others who play such an important role in making our websites, products, and customer experiences what they are today. Putting faces to names and celebrating our shared achievements together was a real highlight.
One vision, one team
Our journey from a few brands in 2023 to a single global powerhouse has been an exciting one and seeing that unity in person was something special. Whether in Australia, Bulgaria, the UK, or India, our teams are all moving in the same direction, driven by the same values.
As I said during the event:
“It’s not just hosting. It’s Hosting.com.”
That sense of pride, collaboration, and shared purpose is what makes this company so special.
A little fun to end the day
And of course, no great town hall ends without a little fun. We celebrated with delicious meals, matching t-shirts and plenty of laughs.
It was a day filled with connection, gratitude, and energy – a perfect reflection of who we are and where we’re going next.
