Civo

Who we are

Our vision is simple. To create a flexible cloud platform created by developers, for developers. We think you should spend less of your time managing environments and hosting platforms, and more time coding – after all, that’s what we always wanted.

Our story

Civo was born from a team who already had decades worth of experience in the hosting and data centre sector. Mark Boost our CEO was the founder of LCN.com which grew to become the 5th largest hosting company in the UK, before being sold in 2019.

Back in 2018 we were building a cloud platform for LCN.com, when we saw the need for a community-led cloud platform, focussing purely on Kubernetes. Born from necessity - this was the start of Civo.

In 2019 we launched the world's first K3s-powered, managed Kubernetes service into beta.

The beta was a huge success and over the next 18 months we continued to improve and refine the Civo platform.

Our product

We make it easy to setup a production-ready Kubernetes cluster, in seconds. Civo Kubernetes significantly reduces complexity, making it easy to build and manage your applications
