Infomaniak Goes Public Without Losing Control
by Natalia Nowak · 30 Jul 2026
The Swiss host is listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange by reversing into Perrot Duval, a company listed since 1905, to fund sovereign-cloud data centres. The twist: its foundation keeps majority voting rights, so Infomaniak reaches the market while writing permanent independence into its structure.

by Michiel Grotenhuis · 30 Jul 2026

Leaseweb’s VPS Increase Falls Hardest on the Cheapest Plans
by Natalia Nowak · 28 Jul 2026
Leaseweb raises VPS prices on August 1, but not evenly: the cheapest US plan nearly doubles while premium tiers rise far less and some mid-range plans hold.
