Domains and hosting services provider, Crazy Domains, is partnering with support and recovery vendor Dropsuite, to distribute and resell Dropsuite’s website backup product Dropmysite to its small and medium sized enterprise customers in Australia, the US, UK Indonesia and the Middle East.
The Singapore-based Dropsuite, currently completing a funding round to raise up to $8 million in capital ahead of its ASX listing scheduled for mid-December, sells its Dropmysite solution to SMBs in over 100 countries, allowing them to schedule automatic backups, monitor website availability and performance, and restore lost or corrupted data.
Ridley Ruth, Chief Operations Officer of Dropsuite, says the partnership with Crazy Domains will focus on the lucrative EMEA market (Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific), where cloud services for SMBs is experiencing rapid growth, similar to the rapid adoption rates happening in the United States.
Ruth cites a report based on IDC’s cloud adoption survey, that shows US SMB adoption of cloud services has grown rapidly in the past five years, rising from below 20% of SMBs to now 75% of small companies (those with fewer than 100 employees) and 95% of midmarket companies (those with 100 to 999 employees).

In fact, most website owners don’t always know that their sites have been compromised until it’s too late,” Ruth says.
“Hardest impacted by website data loss are small and mid-sized business — which is why we’re excited about partnering with Crazy Domains. Their extensive and growing customer base of SMBs means more businesses will have the opportunity of protecting their data.”
Gavin Gibson, Chief Operations Officer of Crazy Domains, says together, Crazy Domains and Dropsuite are well-prepared to deliver “disruptive, much-needed cloud services to small and medium-sized customers in the EMEA region — helping them to successfully manoeuvre through the innovations in today’s modern workplace”.
