History
Vodien Internet Solutions was founded in 2002, and was then registered as a sole proprietorship under the business name of "Vodien Studios". Alvin Poh and John Jervis Lee, the founders of Vodien, started the company off providing graphic design, web design and web development services.
From 2005 to 2007, Vodien underwent a company restructuring that saw the removal of several business functions and services. In August 2005, Vodien Studios renamed itself Vodien Internet Solutions to signify the change in its core business, and to differentiate itself from its previous entity. In the upcoming months, Vodien started purchasing infrastructure and equipment, and began to specialise in the web hosting services area.
Incorporation
On July 30, 2009, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore approved the incorporation of Vodien Internet Solutions Pte Ltd, a registered private limited company that retained the name of the sole proprietorship.
Corporate Headquarters Move
On August 1, 2009, Vodien announced that it will move its corporate headquarters from 71 Ubi Crescent Excalibur Centre to 40C Hong Kong Street in Singapore. The company said that it moved to offer a more central location for its customers and operations, and to its key technology partners, suppliers, and to house the human resources needed for its growth, both domestically and internationally.
A growing team prompted another move into a larger office in 61 Ubi Ave 1 on March 9, 2014, allowing Vodien to have a staff strength of more than 70.
Vodien has grown tremendously over the years and in 2018, all hosting and domain brands under the Vodien Group are coming together into one office to provide customers of all brands a better hosting experience. As of March 8 2018, Vodien shifted into a bigger office at 3 Irving Road, Tai Seng Centre.

Accreditation
Vodien is an Internet Service Provider that owns IP space allocated by APNIC, one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) charged with ensuring the fair distribution and responsible management of IP addresses and related resources. These resources are required for the stable and reliable operation of the global Internet. As of 2009, Vodien is an accredited member of APNIC.
In 2014, Vodien became an ICANN accredited registrar. There are only two other such accredited registrars in Singapore, and eleven other accredited registrars in South-East Asia. Being an accredited registrar allows Vodien to partner and work directly with various global domain name registries to provide near-instantaneous domain name registrations of domain names such as .aero, .asia, .biz, .cat, .com, .coop, .info, .jobs, .mobi, .museum, .name, .net, .org, .pro, .tel, .travel, .xxx.
Following the ICANN accreditation, Vodien became an SGNIC accredited Registrar in 2015; now as the only web hosting company with ICANN and SGNIC accreditations. Vodien is now one of the top companies in the APAC region supporting multiple US and EU-based companies looking for an APAC point-of-presence.
Partnerships
One of the technology partners that Vodien has gone into a partnership with to strengthen its infrastructure and core service is Parallels, Inc.. Parallels, Inc.'s server product Virtuozzo is used in Vodien's hosting environment to achieve a high virtualisation density.
Vodien offers Continuous Data Protection (CDP) services that use technology from R1Soft. CDP, also called continuous backup or real-time backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. It allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time.
Vodien also has a partnership with Dell, in which Vodien exclusively uses server hardware from Dell. This partnership covers the Dell Poweredge Servers, Dell PowerConnect Switches, and Dell PowerVault Highly Available Modular Disk Storage Arrays.
