HostPapa announced on April 17 that it has completed the acquisition of Tailor Made Servers, a Dallas, Texas-based dedicated server provider that has been operating since February 2003. Financial terms were not disclosed. TMS will strengthen HostPapa’s dedicated server offering under its ColoCrossing brand, which already lists Dallas among its ten data center locations across the United States, Europe, and Canada.
What TMS Is
Tailor Made Servers has operated for 23 years as a niche provider of unmanaged dedicated servers out of a colocation facility at 1515 Round Table Drive in Dallas, a carrier-neutral site currently operated by Evocative Data Centers. Its product line is exclusively unmanaged hardware, targeting technically sophisticated buyers and resellers who handle their own administration. Pricing runs from $84 per month for entry-level Xeon configurations to $274 per month for AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D builds, with all servers including DDoS protection, 24/7 hardware monitoring, and a minimum of 10TB monthly bandwidth. No managed or supported tiers exist. The company built its customer base through consistent pricing and 23 years of operational continuity rather than marketing volume.
What This Adds to ColoCrossing
ColoCrossing became a HostPapa brand through the 2023 acquisition of Deluxe Corporation’s web hosting and logo design operations. It now operates ten data centers in Buffalo, New York City, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Jose, Dublin, and Toronto, offering dedicated servers, colocation, GPU and AI dedicated hardware, and managed services. Since ColoCrossing already maintains a Dallas presence, the TMS acquisition is primarily a customer base and hardware transaction rather than an infrastructure expansion. The TMS customer base of long-standing dedicated server tenants, some of whom have been with the company for a decade or more, is the primary asset being integrated.
Jamie Opalchuk, HostPapa Founder and CEO, described the rationale: “TMS has built a loyal customer base over more than 20 years by delivering reliable, customizable dedicated server solutions at competitive prices. This acquisition is a natural fit for our infrastructure hosting strategy and reinforces our commitment to providing businesses with the full spectrum of hosting solutions.”
HostPapa’s Acquisition Cadence
The TMS deal is the latest in an extended acquisition run that has reshaped HostPapa from a Canadian shared hosting provider into a multi-brand infrastructure group. Since 2020, the company has completed 17 acquisitions including Lunarpages, Canvas Host, Silicon Valley Web Hosting, WooCart, Brandpa, CloudBlue (acquired from Ingram Micro in August 2025), and the Deluxe Corporation deal that brought ColoCrossing and the Hostopia white-label platform into the portfolio. In June 2025, HostPapa closed a USD $130 million senior secured credit facility to fund continued growth.
The acquisitions span the full hosting stack: shared and VPS hosting brands, colocation and dedicated server infrastructure through ColoCrossing, white-label hosting for telcos through Hostopia, a cloud commerce and distribution platform through CloudBlue, and now a second dedicated server customer base in Dallas. The pattern is systematic consolidation rather than opportunistic deal-making, with each acquisition filling or deepening a specific product or geographic slot in the group’s portfolio.
