CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TeamSnap, the leading provider of sports management software and the online community for everything youth sports, today announced that it has acquired MOJO Sports (“MOJO”), an innovative youth sports media platform that provides coaching instruction resources, sports team management tools, live video streaming, and multimedia content sharing to coaches, athletes, and families. 

With the acquisition of MOJO, TeamSnap is redefining the relationship between youth sports and technology. In addition to sports management solutions used by 2M+ daily active users (DAUs) and more than 19,000 sports organizations, TeamSnap will now offer MOJO’s award-winning library of games, drills, and session-by-session support for youth coaches, as well as robust interactive multimedia tools, including live streaming, for families and fans to engage on and off the field.

“The MOJO team has built the leading consumer-focused digital experience in youth sports. Their professional league and club partnerships, video streaming platform and coach development tools will add compelling new value to our TeamSnap community,” said Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap. “This is a defining moment for TeamSnap and for youth sports. This acquisition, combined with the significant investment we have put into the TeamSnap platform over the last 2+ years, and the distribution power of our millions of active users, solidifies our position as a leader in this next evolutionary phase of sports technology.” 

Today, the youth sports market touches more than half of US households on an annual basis — with an estimated 60 million youth athletes playing multiple sports across roughly 2 million school, community, and club teams in more than 150,000 leagues. To capitalize on this $37.5 billion market, youth sports tech has amassed investment of more than $1 billion of disclosed capital in the last five years, and even more in undisclosed investments. 

“TeamSnap and MOJO are a perfect fit. Not only do we share a common vision of transforming youth sports with the best of content and technology, together we can create truly unforgettable experiences for players, families, fans, and sports organizations,” said Ben. Sherwood, founder & CEO of MOJO. “TeamSnap is poised to win the youth sports market in the US and around the world, creating unforgettable seasons for more than 500 million families with kids who play sports worldwide.

After leaving The Walt Disney Company as co-chairman of media networks and president of the Disney ABC Television group, Mr. Sherwood and co-founder Reed Shaffner launched their award-winning app in February 2021. MOJO’s key features for youth sports players, families, fans, coaches, and clubs include: 

Live streaming, scoring and easily shared highlights.Access to a deep video library of training content, developed with best-in-class partners such as MLS and MLB.Personalized in-app experiences for players, including customizable player cards and timelines that include multimedia highlights from an entire season. Interactive practice plans and activities with video walkthroughs, equipment lists, drill instructions and coaches’ notes.Expert advice, how-tos, Q&As interviews, and personal stories from coaches and athletes.

“I’m excited for the impact this partnership will have on youth sports and families everywhere,” said Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, a MOJO founding athlete, investor, and advisor, as well as chairman of NFL FLAG. “As a parent, volunteer, and coach, I’m deeply connected to our mission at MOJO, which is to enhance the youth sports experience by making coaching and parenting easier and more fun for everyone involved. With the size, scale, and resources of TeamSnap, the combined new platform will be unstoppable in helping us reach that goal.”

The combination of the two industry-leading consumer tech platforms also creates the most comprehensive suite of B2B tools available for sports organizations. MOJO’s B2B offerings include powerful content distribution capabilities for governing bodies, associations, and clubs, which enables partners like Jr. NBA, and NFL FLAG to curate and distribute content and curriculum to coaches and participants at scale, accelerating adoption of their programs. When combined with TeamSnap for Business’s suite of registration, payment processing, and organizational management tools, TeamSnap for Business will now fully encapsulate the needs of today’s modern sports organization. 

“Over the past decade, millions of coaches, team managers and administrators have trusted TeamSnap as the gold standard in team management to stay organized through their seasons,” said Andrew Rueff, TeamSnap Executive Chairman and Operating Partner at Waud Capital. “The addition of MOJO’s team and experience to TeamSnap is a significant accelerant in our pace of innovation and growth, catapulting us forward in delivering the leading ecosystem for all things youth sports.”

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. MOJO, a TeamSnap company, launched today and the MOJO app and its content will continue to be available to its 5 million users worldwide. The MOJO team, based mainly in Los Angeles, will join TeamSnap’s distributed workforce of more than 200, and Mr. Sherwood will take on a new role as a board member at TeamSnap. 

The sellers of MOJO were advised by Gunderson Dettmer for legal counsel and Whisper Advisors for investment banking services.  Kirkland & Ellis provided legal counsel, and GP Bullhound and ThoughtSource provided advisory services for TeamSnap.

Best VPS Hosting (2026): Virterion Recognized for Performance, Reliability, and Scalability by Expert Consumers

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expert Consumers has recognized Virterion in an assessment of the best VPS hosting solutions for 2026. The recognition highlights the provider’s performance-focused virtual servers, infrastructure reliability, and ability to scale from entry-level VPS plans to dedicated hardware.

Best VPS Hosting

Virterion – a provider of VPS hosting, Windows VPS, website hosting, and dedicated servers offering KVM virtualization, configurable resources, European server locations, backup options, and scalable infrastructure, supported by 24/7 technical assistance and remote server management tools.

Demand for virtual private servers continues to grow as websites, applications, and databases require more control than conventional shared hosting can provide. VPS hosting allocates processing power, memory, and storage to an independent virtual environment. This structure gives developers and organizations greater control over software, security settings, and server configuration.

Virterion addresses these requirements through several workload-specific services. The portfolio includes standard VPS hosting, high-CPU configurations, Windows VPS, storage-focused virtual servers, website hosting tools, and dedicated servers. The range allows customers to select infrastructure based on processing, storage, operating system, and location requirements.

Virtual Servers Designed Around Different Workloads

Virterion uses KVM virtualization across the VPS range. KVM technology separates virtual machines within a physical server and provides each environment with allocated resources. Customers receive administrative access and can install supported operating systems or use compatible ISO images.

Standard VPS plans are available in Naaldwijk, the Netherlands, and Sofia, Bulgaria. Entry configurations include 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of SSD or NVMe storage. Plans also provide a static IPv4 address, with IPv6 available on applicable configurations.

The Netherlands and Bulgaria VPS ranges support resource customization. CPU cores, memory, storage, bandwidth, IP addresses, and backup capacity can be adjusted through the ordering system. Existing configurations can also be upgraded when traffic or application requirements increase.

Several operational features are available across applicable VPS plans:

Remote server access: A VNC console allows server access when standard network connections are unavailable.Backup controls: Supported plans allow manual backups and scheduled backup creation.Network testing: Looking Glass tools provide information about routes, latency, upload speeds, and download speeds.Flexible operating systems: Customers can select supported Linux distributions or compatible custom images.Technical assistance: Support is available around the clock through email, tickets, and online chat.

These tools give technical teams direct control over routine server management. However, customers remain responsible for application configuration, data protection, and software security.

Performance and Reliability Across European Locations

Location can influence website speed because distance affects the time required to transfer information. Virterion positions the Netherlands location for audiences across Central and Northern Europe. The Sofia location can support projects targeting Southeastern Europe and nearby markets.

Standard plans at both locations provide 300 Mbit/s network options and unlimited traffic. The Netherlands range uses enterprise NVMe storage, while the Bulgaria range uses enterprise SSD storage. Both formats are designed to provide faster data access than traditional mechanical drives.

Projects requiring greater processing capacity can use the High CPU VPS range. These servers use dedicated CPU cores, modern server processors, DDR5 memory, and enterprise NVMe storage. Virterion reports approximately 80 to 90 percent greater CPU performance than the standard Netherlands VPS line. The comparison is based on provider testing and should be evaluated alongside the requirements of each workload.

Reliability also depends on the surrounding data-center and network infrastructure. Virterion cites service availability of up to 99.995 percent for overseas data-center operations. Prospective customers can use the available network-testing tools to evaluate latency and routing before selecting a location.

Backup policies require careful review. Manual and scheduled backups are available on several VPS products, but customers remain responsible for protecting important files and databases. The storage-focused VPS line does not include backup functionality.

Storage VPS configurations begin with 500 GB of SSD capacity. Standard options extend to 1.5 TB, while configurable upgrades can reach 3 TB. This category may suit media libraries, archives, or data-heavy applications when an independent backup process is already established.

Windows VPS and Website Hosting

Virterion provides Windows VPS options in both the Netherlands and Bulgaria. Entry plans include 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD storage, a 300 Mbit/s network connection, one IP address, and unlimited traffic.

Windows VPS plans include a graphical desktop through Remote Desktop Protocol. VNC console access provides another method of connecting to the virtual machine. Manual and scheduled backup tools are also available.

The Windows service is unmanaged. Technical support can help address issues involving the virtual machine, but software and applications running inside the server remain the customer’s responsibility.

Windows licensing is another important consideration. Virterion provides an evaluation version with a 180-day trial key. A permanent operating system license is not included. Organizations planning long-term deployment should account for licensing and administration requirements before selecting a plan.

Website hosting can be managed through optional control-panel software. Available editions support individual developers, teams handling multiple projects, and agencies maintaining larger website portfolios. Depending on the selected edition, domain allowances include 10, 30, 50, or unlimited domains.

Relevant control-panel options include visual website management, database administration, WordPress tools, subscription controls, and account management. These features can reduce the amount of command-line work required for common hosting tasks.

A VPS still requires more technical involvement than conventional shared website hosting. The tradeoff is greater control over allocated resources, operating system settings, application installation, and security configuration.

Scaling From VPS Hosting to Dedicated Servers

Virtual servers can support many websites, development environments, databases, and business applications. Dedicated servers become more appropriate when a workload requires physical hardware without virtualization, larger memory capacity, multiple storage devices, hardware RAID, or consistently high network throughput.

Virterion offers dedicated servers from the Netherlands location. The catalog includes configurations for smaller production workloads and higher-capacity business systems. Available specifications include ECC memory, enterprise SSD and NVMe storage, hardware RAID options, and multiple-drive configurations.

Selected systems provide network links ranging from 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s. Traffic allowances vary by configuration, with unmetered service available as an upgrade on applicable servers. Some systems support hundreds of gigabytes of memory, while higher-capacity models support multiple enterprise storage devices.

The dedicated-server range provides a migration path for projects that outgrow VPS resources. Customers can begin with virtual infrastructure and move to physical hardware when performance, storage, or network requirements justify the change.

Dedicated hardware involves more planning than a standard VPS. Processor requirements, memory capacity, drive layout, RAID configuration, bandwidth, remote management, and operating system selection should be evaluated before ordering. Virterion provides sales assistance for customers who need help selecting a suitable configuration.

Practical Considerations for Prospective Customers

Virterion is suited to developers, agencies, online businesses, and technical teams seeking configurable VPS hosting in Europe. The service may also fit organizations requiring Windows-based environments, large-capacity storage, or access to dedicated infrastructure through the same provider.

The platform requires a degree of technical knowledge. Windows VPS plans are unmanaged, permanent Windows licensing is separate, and some storage plans do not include backup tools. Application security and data protection remain customer responsibilities.

Expert Consumers’ recognition focuses on the combination of workload-specific VPS options, configurable resources, European server locations, practical management tools, and a direct route to dedicated hardware. For organizations evaluating VPS hosting in 2026, these factors provide a structured way to match infrastructure with current requirements while preserving room for future growth.

The full review is available at the Expert Consumers website.
