BlueCentral Hosting was an Australian hosting company that was formed from the destra Hosting business in 2007. Effective 1 December 2016, the Australian Hannan family business, whose parent company is the Independent Print Media Group IPMG, sold Blue Central to Nexon Asia Pacific, effectively ending the brand. As a hosting company, BlueCentral provided and operated computing infrastructure for major Australian companies, corporations and events such as National Australia Bank and the CYC Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. History The history of the BlueCentral company is a fascinating reflection of the dot-com industry at the time and includes the following mergers, acquisitions and takeovers; Sprint Corporation was formed in the mid-1990s by Domenic and Anna Carosa, as the fore-runner to the OzHosting and destra businesses. Ozhosting.com was formed in 1995 to provide retail hosting only as part of Sprint Corporation (destra's former name). Sprint Corporation bought BlueFire (now with Dimension Data), GlobalHost and various other smaller hosting companies to operate under the OzHosting.com brand. Sprint Corporation was renamed Ehyou.com in 2000, and this business bought many smaller firms including mp3.com.au, OzHosting (with Brett Gorlin), Sprint Web and Sprint Design (Anna Carosa). Other companies purchased before 2001 included Domains and Servers, Monica and Webology. Ehyou was renamed as Destra Corporation. The small "d" was deliberate in the official name "destra" and the name meant "right" or "on the right" in Italian and was intended as a play-on-words to mean "having the right and being correct". In 2001 Cyberhost, Iasiaworks and Ocean Internet's hosting division were also purchased. The ISP component of Ocean Internet was picked up by Data Fast. This included the rights to run the www.realestate.au website. destra bought Webtrader in January 2001, which was Anthony Banek's own company and this was integrated under the OzHosting.com brand making OzHosting.com the second largest retail hosting company in Australia (behind Webcentral, which is now owned by Melbourne IT). Anthony Banek formed OzHosting.com Advanced the Enterprise division of OzHosting.com and destra, later to become BlueCentral Enterprise (BCE) Destra, including OzHosting.com Advanced, purchased Enet21 in 2002. ENet21 was the company that first commissioned hosting space at Fujitsu, North Ryde as one of their earliest customers. Destra also purchased 13 other smaller companies at this time. SuperHosting was also purchased in 2002 destra then purchased TPP Internet being a Domain Name Registrar. Destra owned 80% of TTP and the other 20% remained with former owner, Peter Schilling. It
