The acquisition comes only a few months after cyber_Folks made headlines for investing over 540 million PLN in Shoper, a Polish e-commerce platform. On paper, this latest move secures a foothold in the Romanian market. But behind the numbers, it raises questions about whether the company\u2019s rapid acquisition strategy is sustainable in a still-developing regional market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"615\" data-end=\"1050\">Hosterion is not a giant by European standards. It manages roughly 13,000 clients, 12,000 hosting accounts, and 19,000 domains, with annual revenue of \u20ac2.1 million. What it does offer, though, is local infrastructure and a stable customer base in a country that\u2019s becoming more digitally mature. That makes it a useful acquisition for cyber_Folks, which aims to build a regional ecosystem connecting hosting, e-commerce, and marketing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1442\">At the center of it all is scale. The company has made clear that its growth plan relies on acquiring regional players and integrating them into a larger framework. With over 365,000 clients and a steady stream of subscription revenue, cyber_Folks has the financial room to act. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, revenue jumped by 32 percent year-over-year, and profits rose alongside it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1853\">Still, some observers are beginning to ask whether cyber_Folks is moving faster than the markets it\u2019s entering can support. Integration takes time. So does maintaining service quality and client trust. Romania now joins a growing list of countries under the cyber_Folks banner. How the company handles that expansion may determine whether it becomes a regional anchor or just another overextended tech player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cyber_Folks has just added Hosterion, a Romanian hosting company, to its growing portfolio in a \u20ac6.7 million deal.
