HostPapa's expansion strategy continues with the recent announcement that it has acquired yet another web hosting company from its home country of Canada.
So far this year, the Canadian web hosting and cloud service provider has acquired eight different web hosts including Lunarpages, PacificHost, Santa Barbara Hosting and most recently, Portland-based Canvas Host.
Now HostPapa has announced that it has acquired the Canadian-based web hosting company Korax Inc. Korax is a privately owned company that has offered web hosting and email services to SMBs across Canada since 1997.

Founder and CEO of HostPapa Jamie OpalChuck explained why acquiring Korax was a natural fit for the company in a press release, saying:
"We'd like to welcome all the Korax customers to the HostPapa family.

Congratulations to Alex and Marcus for building and running an excellent company based in Canada. We are excited to extend Korax customers our HostPapa world-class support while being able to extend our stack of cloud-based solutions for these entrepreneurs and small-medium business owners."
