dogado operates a multi-brand hosting group (dogado, alfahosting, checkdomain, BUSYMOUSE) serving over 200,000 SMB customers across Germany and Europe. The stack spans virtualization (VMware, Proxmox, OpenStack), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Ceph, NetApp), with active cloud platforms on AWS and GCP. Current project work and pain-point data reveal a company in active consolidation mode: post-merger integration, product integration, and operations scaling dominate the roadmap, with hiring tilted toward operations and sales roles rather than engineering—typical of a portfolio company managing multiple acquisitions.
dogado is a cloud hosting provider founded in 2001 and based in Dortmund, Germany, with additional offices in Hanover, Halle (Saale), and Lübeck. The group operates through multiple brands and serves SMB customers globally with hosted Exchange, SharePoint, CDN, colocation, and IaaS/PaaS offerings (including Jelastic cloud servers and elastic compute). dogado has grown through acquisition (11+ companies absorbed) and is now part of the European Directories portfolio, owned by Triton Fund III since 2015. The core business spans managed infrastructure, reseller partnerships, and SaaS products, with double-digit revenue growth over recent years.
dogado runs on AWS and GCP for public cloud, with on-premise virtualization via VMware, Proxmox, and OpenStack. Storage is handled by NetApp and Ceph distributed file systems.
dogado has 1 active engineering role listed (among 10 total open positions), with hiring velocity decelerating. Operations and sales roles are more active, reflecting post-acquisition integration priorities.
