Inception Hosting customers were notified today that the firm will cease operations in about two months.
We’re writing to inform you that Inception Hosting services will cease on 15th January 2025. We want to thank you sincerely for being a valued Customer. After many years, this decision was not taken lightly.
As you may recall, Inception was acquired by Clouvider back in early 2021. We last featured them earlier this year.
Inception dates back to 2011, so it’s sad to see this marque disappear from the marketplace. As they explain in the announcement, there’s considerable overlap between the Inception and Clouvider brands. Inception’s environment is built on older gear and is facing an upgrade in 2025, so it makes sense now to consolidate.
Good news is that they’re doing it right:
- Two months notice, which is excellent and gives their customers plenty of time to find a new home and move at their convenience.
- Special discount on the mother company’s services for refugees
Here’s the full text of the announcement. What do you think? Are you an Inception customer? Are you affected? Let us know your plans in the comments below!
We’re writing to inform you that Inception Hosting services will cease on 15th January 2025. We want to thank you sincerely for being a valued Customer. After many years, this decision was not taken lightly.
Since Clouvider Limited acquired Inception Hosting Limited in 2021, the two brands have offered similar services; however, the Inception Hosting platform has both aged software and hardware, which would have been facing upgrades or replacement in 2025. With this in mind, we have made the decision that consolidating our offerings under Clouvider to provide you with an enhanced service is the best way forward.
What This Means for You:
Service Termination Date: All Inception Hosting services will end on 15th January 2025.
Refunds: Pro-rata refunds will be issued for any pre-paid services beyond the termination date.
Migration to Clouvider: Customers will need to self-migrate. To ease the transition, Clouvider is offering a 50% recurring discount on any VPS plan. Details are available here: https://www.clouvider.com/vps/.
Please note: We are unable to assist with migration efforts, and Customers are responsible for independently transferring their data and configurations.

I’m an Inception user. I think they have done the right thing by customers in that they have given suitable notice and have arranged good discounts with Clouvider. I haven’t decided where I’ll go as yet as I’ve not had time to fully look at the options.
Yep, I’m an Inception user too. It has been a great service!
Looking for new options, but haven’t found similar VPS yet :(
