NetShop Internet Services Ltd, operating as NetShop ISP, is a Cyprus-based global provider of data center and cloud hosting solutions. Founded in 2004, the company began as a reseller of a UK web hosting firm and has since grown into a privately owned infrastructure operator with a presence spanning 15 data centers across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East. NetShop ISP specializes in high-performance bare-metal servers, cloud VPS, private cloud, colocation, managed hosting, and value-added services such as backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity (including its proprietary "Digital Shield" DDoS protection), and network connectivity solutions (XConnect). The company serves over 2,000 clients across demanding industries including forex, iGaming, fintech, martech, streaming, and ICT. Its infrastructure is built on enterprise-grade Dell hardware with Intel and AMD processors, and it operates its own high-capacity global backbone. NetShop ISP is ISO 9001 certified and has earned multiple industry accolades, including "Best Hosting Provider" at the Global Forex Awards – B2B 2026. The company is led by founder and CEO Stefano Sordini, with long-serving executives Elena Efthymiou (Operations Manager) and Yiota Pingou (CTO) recently appointed as partners.
Detailed Review
History
NetShop Internet Services Ltd (NetShop ISP) has evolved from a small reseller into a comprehensive hosting and data center operator with a fully owned global network infrastructure. Since its incorporation in 2004, the company has strategically expanded into 13 countries across five continents, placing Points of Presence (PoPs) in major financial and technological hubs such as London (Equinix LD4/LD7), Amsterdam (AM2), Singapore (SG5), Cyprus, Malta, Hong Kong, Tokyo, São Paulo, Dubai, Sydney, and Mexico City. This global footprint allows NetShop ISP to offer ultra-low-latency connectivity for mission-critical applications in forex trading, online gaming, and streaming.
Products and Services
The company’s product portfolio is broad and tiered. Dedicated Servers feature enterprise-grade Dell hardware with full root access and out-of-band iDRAC management, available in six global locations. Cloud VPS and Private Cloud solutions run on a self-service portal (myNetShop) that integrates real-time usage statistics, REST API, and support for crypto and online payments. Colocation services provide private racks and cross-connects, especially popular with forex brokers and liquidity providers. Managed Hosting and Web Hosting cater to smaller businesses and enterprises alike. Additional services include Backup & Disaster Recovery, Cybersecurity (notably the Digital Shield framework for automated DDoS mitigation), and Network Connectivity (XConnect for direct peering). In 2025, NetShop ISP launched PoP VPS, extending its virtual server offerings to new edge locations.
Key Differentiators
A key differentiator is the company’s customer-centric approach, offering free migration, a price-match guarantee, and 24/7 live support (without bots). This has driven a 125% revenue increase between 2022 and 2024 and a 180% rise in retail cloud and web hosting customers. NetShop ISP is ISO 9001 certified and regularly sponsors industry events such as the Cyprus Fintech Summit and iFX EXPO. The appointment of Elena Efthymiou and Yiota Pingou as partners in 2025 reflects the company’s emphasis on internal talent retention and operational continuity.
Technology and Expansion
NetShop ISP’s technology partners include Dell, Intel, AMD, and major connectivity carriers. The company continues to invest in expanding its data center footprint, particularly in Asia and South America, to meet the demands of its global client base. Its long-standing presence in the forex and iGaming verticals, combined with bespoke solutions and enterprise-grade reliability, positions it as a mid-tier but highly specialized hosting provider with strong growth momentum.
