In February 2008, Host Europe Group in Romania (formerly known as Webfusion) is founded in Iasi, giving rise of what is to become a constantly expanding and thriving centre. Starting with a 5-member team that covered areas such as web development (.NET), graphic design and web design, Host Europe Group in Romania has gradually but decisively branched out, adding a Quality Assurance and a SEO department in 2009 and a Customer Support section in May 2011.
