In the Netherlands where im staying i have 2 company's

I got DiverseLab development, a design and webapplication company and Trafego a Hosting company. Both are groing hard.. sometimes to hard.. So hard i have to make choices..

in 2006 when i started DiverseLab some clients asked me.. do you provide hosting?
No we dont was the answer.. After hearing that question about 40/50 times.. I bought me a Supermicro server and provide small webhosting packages..

Oh well.. some small hosting business he The truth is.. (3 year later) the hosting department is grown to a full ISP provider with about 700 servers :/ His own network and expanding each quarter of the year. We can proudly say, we are one of the biggest Dutch and Belgium webhosting providers.. with about 15000+ websites online for clients.
From shared hosting to rackhosting or SSL certs, we got it.

My own passion design en building cms/webshops and other stuff clients ask is getting behind the time that i sit back behind my imac of laptop for some hours for photoshop is getting smaller and smaller.

Last month i have to make a big decision, splitting the 2 company's
For me it was letting go off my "baby" that is grown up.

Scene 1: I let it as is, and cant grow anymore
Scene 2: I split up, more employees, more growspace

i can tell you, it was some sleepless nights!
I will be in charge (owner) in the future but more ppl get something to say.


PS: sorry for the bad englisch
