Who we are and What we do
PressLabs was incorporated in 2011 by three guys who combined their knowledge and passion for WordPress to create a vision for a new world of hosting. After years of doing web development, they shifted their focus for four years, to intensive WordPress-specific web development. This experience opened their eyes to the increasing need within independent publishers who were gaining popularity, to maintain scalable websites with their current hosting providers.
The first customer back in late 2009, who the founders were doing web development for, was a comics blog, pidjin.net, developed by two talented guys from Bucharest, Romania. As the website become more popular on the defunct since then Digg and page views increased and spiked, Pid'jin were not able to keep up with the influx of views and their website began to slow down. The guys took on this challenge, developing in the process, a more scalable and reliable hosting service; and so PressLabs was born.
After attending Geek Meet in Timisoara, Romania, three months in Berlin participating in SeedCamp (a new venture contest), joining Venture Connect and WordCamp in Bucharest, and finally, attending the 2011 WordCamp in San Francisco, PressLabs began to establish as a reliable and knowledgeable alternative to managed WordPress hosting. Customer-based referrals and positive service feedback has afforded PressLabs a diverse customer base of top independent publishers in four continents, even before public launch.
