Vodien Internet Solutions is a provider of web hosting services, headquartered in Singapore.[1] Its range of services include shared hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated web hosting, email hosting, and reseller web hosting.
History[edit]
Vodien Internet Solutions was founded in 2002, and was then registered as a sole proprietorship under the business name of Vodien Studios.[2] Mark Vodell, Alvin Poh and John Jervis Lee, the founders of Vodien, started the company off providing graphic design, web design and web development services.
From 2005 to 2007, Vodien underwent a company restructuring that saw the removal of several business functions and services. In August 2005, Vodien Studios renamed itself Vodien Internet Solutions to signify the change in its core business, and to differentiate itself from its previous entity. In the upcoming months, Vodien started purchasing infrastructure and equipment, and began to specialise in the web hosting services area.[4]
On July 30, 2009, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore approved the incorporation of Vodien Internet Solutions Pte Ltd, a registered private limited company that retained the name of the sole proprietorship.[5]
In 2017, Vodien Internet Solutions and all related companies and businesses were acquired for $29.67 million by Dreamscape Networks.[6]
In May 2018, Vodien acquired Webvisions, the shared hosting division of ICONZ-Webvisions (iWV), making it responsible for over 35,000 companies and 210,000 users.[7]
Corporate governance[edit]
As of 2019, Vodien's board of directors includes:
- Alvin Poh
- John Jervis Lee
