The partnership does not affect Blacknight’s leadership, workforce or day-to-day functions, the company said.

Carlow-based web hosting company Blacknight has been acquired by European digital services group Your.Online.

Blacknight has secured long-term investment from the Amsterdam-based company to position itself for the next phase of its growth, it said in a statement.

The company did not disclose details of the transaction, but CEO Michele Neylon told SiliconRepublic.com that Blacknight has “reinvested substantially” into the new entity.
