Yannis Farazoumis, Co-Founder of DNHOST

HostSearch interviewed Yannis Farazoumis, Co-Founder of DNHOST - a leading high performance web hosting provider.

  • HOSTSEARCH: Hello there and thank you for being with us today. Can you please introduce yourself and your company DNHOST?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: My name is Yannis Farazoumis, and I am a co-founder of DNHOST. Together with my partner, Antoine Ubavicius, we started the company in 2000 with a clear goal: to provide hosting services in Greece that combined speed, reliability, ease of use and truly responsive customer support clients could always depend on.


    Over the past 25 years, DNHOST has grown into a trusted provider of premium web hosting, domain registration and SSL solutions for more than 50K clients. Our philosophy has remained unchanged; deliver high-performance, auto-provisioned hosting backed by expert support, so that every client has a partner who understands their needs and supports their online success.
  • HOSTSEARCH: Could you give us an overview of DNHOST’s products?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: Our reliable web services are designed to cover the full range of online needs, in easy to understand offerings through our website:

    Domain registration: More than 480 extensions with a simple management platform and automated renewal reminders.

    Web hosting: High-performance, customized solutions vary from personal websites, resellers and agencies, to enterprise-grade dedicated servers, with packages tailored to each client’s operational and budget requirements.

    SSL certificates: A broad portfolio with quick issuance, seamless installation, and full lifecycle management.

    Beyond offering these services, our team actively guides clients in selecting the right domain extension, hosting type and configuration and SSL solution for their specific needs and goals. Our mission is to simplify digital infrastructure and offer fully customized & managed hosting setups, so clients can focus on running and growing their business
  • HOSTSEARCH: DNHOST emphasizes premium services like Managed WordPress Hosting, Semi-Dedicated Hosting, Cloud VPS Hosting, Dedicated Servers, and Reseller Hosting. How would you position DNHOST among the best hosting companies in Greece using these offerings?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: What sets DNHOST apart is the way we combine advanced infrastructure with personal service. Every solution, whether it is Managed WordPress Hosting or a Dedicated Server, is delivered through our privately-owned infrastructure in Greece and carefully selected EU datacenters, continuously upgraded to meet international standards.

    Our clients do not just receive access to technology, but they also gain a hosting partner who invests in their long-term success, with a support team that understands their needs and responds with clarity, speed, and accountability. This is why DNHOST is consistently recognized as one of the most reliable hosting providers in Greece.
  • HOSTSEARCH: What makes DNHOST’s hosting performance stand out, especially with technologies like LiteSpeed Web Server and QUIC ?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: We focus on using proven technologies that deliver measurable benefits and offer real 99,999% uptime.

    LiteSpeed Web Server ensures fast website loading, unmatched stability and security, and efficient handling of traffic spikes. Many clients see speed improvements of 20% to 70% immediately after migrating their sites.

    QUIC protocol reduces latency and accelerates content delivery, particularly on mobile networks or under heavy traffic conditions.

    By pairing these technologies with free website migration, we allow our clients to experience a clear and immediate performance boost.
  • HOSTSEARCH: How would you explain the advantage of choosing a Greek data center (Lamda Hellix) for SEO and site speed to a local client?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: The closer the server is to the user, the faster the data travels. Hosting in Greece means consistently lower latency, fewer network hops and faster page loads compared to servers abroad.

    From an SEO point of view, page speed is decisive. Search engines evaluate Google’s Core Web Vitals and other performance metrics when ranking websites. Hosting locally ensures the fastest possible experience for Greek audiences, which directly supports higher visibility in search results.

    Our partnership with Lamda Helix (now Digital Realty) provides not only this performance edge but also enterprise-grade security standards and 24/7 on-site support.
  • HOSTSEARCH: How do DNHOST’s security features—like CloudLinux with CageFS/LVE, and anti-spam systems—enhance user trust and platform reliability?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: Our clients operations, security and stability are at the center of every DNHOST service. They are ensured by a combination of highly sophisticated security protocols and our technicians’ expertise in implementing them to their fullest.

    CloudLinux isolates resources for each account, guaranteeing resources availability, stability and preventing disruptions from neighboring users.

    CageFS provides file system isolation, shielding accounts from malware and vulnerabilities.

    Premium Spam Filtering by Spam Experts protects every mailbox from phishing and spam at no additional cost.

    These safeguards, combined with the expertise of our technical team, give clients the confidence that their websites, data and communications are always protected. It also saves them a huge amount of time they would otherwise spend on cleaning manually their inbox or their malware-infected websites.
  • HOSTSEARCH: For a customer running an online store, what features of DNHOST’s Managed WordPress Hosting would you emphasize to ensure performance and security?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: For e-commerce, speed and stability directly impact sales. Our commitment to solving the most important and common troubles of e-shop owners, has driven us to create our Managed WordPress Hosting, which is designed with this in mind:

    Privately-owned Greek infrastructure with the latest Dell servers ensures fast load times and uninterrupted performance.

    Anti-DDoS network protection, cuts off all types of denial of service attacks before they reach our servers.

    LS Cache Plugin provides advanced caching, image optimization, and compression, often improving page speed by up to 50%.

    Smart Updates prevents site crashes during updates by automatically checking for errors and preserving design integrity.

    Free Optimization Report with tailored recommendations from our experts, to boost speed and functionality, and operate at peak performance.

    This exclusive combination of premium features, guarantees the fast loading times every e-shop owner needs in order to turn its visitors into customers.
  • HOSTSEARCH: If a client is migrating from another hosting provider, what benefits would you present to convince them to move to DNHOST?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: Migration often seems complicated or even overwhelming, which is why DNHOST handles the entire process free of charge and in a very personalized way. We eliminate stress by making clients feel confident that they are in good hands.

    ● First, a technician evaluates the client’s site, email quotas, special needs and the customer’s goals in order to recommend the most suitable hosting plan.

    ● The transfer is then scheduled at the client’s convenience, with zero downtime.

    ● A personal support agent is always available for questions before, during, and after the migration.

    Moving to DNHOST is much more than a technical transfer, it is the beginning of a partnership with a provider who ensures every detail is managed professionally and is available to support him in every step.
  • HOSTSEARCH: A digital agency is exploring dedicated hosting solutions. How would you pitch DNHOST’s  dedicated servers with managed support?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: Having worked with agencies since the beginning, we deeply understand their needs; they require dependable infrastructure and ongoing support to deliver excellent results for their clients.

    That is why our Dedicated Server offering includes:

    ● Free initial setup and configuration that meet the agency’s requirements.

    ● Continuous updates for deployed applications, plus automated backups and task scheduling.

    ● Multi-layered security protocols with 24/7 monitoring across our entire network.

    ● Personal and high level expertise support agents available for their daily or emergency requests.

    In short, DNHOST takes care of the infrastructure, firewall, network and hardware replacement worries and accommodate the agencies support needs, so they can remain focused on creativity, strategy, and client growth.
  • HOSTSEARCH: Is there anything you would like to share with our visitors who are looking for a hosting company in Europe?
    YANNIS FARAZOUMIS: Choosing a hosting provider can be confusing, we suggest evaluating your choice using the following criteria in order to guide their decision:

    1. Support: Contact their team by phone, chat or email, before you sign up. Measure how fast and how clearly they respond.

    2. Transparency: Review their pricing carefully. Make sure essential services are included without hidden fees.

    3. Reputation: Look at independent reviews on Google etc. and pay attention to how the provider responds to negative feedback.

    Chances are the info and the experience you will get by this search will reflect the quality of service you can expect once you become their client. You will also see their true ability to respond quickly and professionally when issues occur, so you don’t end up regretting the money you spent.

    At DNHOST, we believe hosting is not only based on servers, but also on trust, transparency, and long-term relationships that help clients succeed online.
