When entered in DHH the company was in a turnaround situation, with a descending trend (-7,6% in bookings during the second half of 2016, if compared with the second half of 2015).

Since its inclusion in the group, DHH made the management team of Tophost stronger, with new hires, and then focused on a series of actions that produced the change in trend:

• the quality of service has been improved with new updates (e.g. Wordpress 1-click install; ability to renew multiple subscriptions; new UX for webmail; free SSL and https support).

• new high margin products and services have been introduced in the offering (e.g. Topweb Plus and renewal after expiration service);

• the digital marketing strategy of the company has been completely redesigned (ref. focus on SEO, SEM, Facebook Adv and content marketing) with a focus on brand awareness.

All these actions resulted in an improvement of the renewal rate, with an increase in sales and margins.

The growth trend is confirmed also in the early days of 2018 (+26% in bookings in the first 23 days of January, if compared with the same period of 2017).
