If you’ve come across our name, you may have wondered: *Is it Synaps Media or Synapse Media?*

You’re not alone, many people mix them up. Let’s clear the air.

## **The Story Behind “Synaps”**

When the idea for **Synaps Media** was born over a decade ago, the name “Synapse” was already widely used and most domains were taken. Instead of giving up, we chose **Synaps**—a shorter, cleaner version that felt fresh and unique.

Later, we learned something that made the choice even more meaningful:

> In Dutch, the word *synapse* is spelled **synaps**.

Since our company is based in the Netherlands, this version felt like the perfect fit. It ties our brand not only to the digital connections we enable, but also to our European roots.

## **Why People Confuse It**

The word *synapse* is more familiar in English, so many people naturally type “Synapse Media” in Google. That makes sense, but it’s not us. In fact, there’s another company with that name working in digital marketing.

We are **Synaps Media** — focused entirely on **fully managed Ghost CMS hosting**. If you’re looking for a fast, secure, and effortless way to publish your content online, you’re in the right place.

## **How to Remember It**

Think of it this way:

- **Synaps** \= the Dutch spelling of *synapse*
- **Media** \= our mission to power creators, publishers, and businesses

Together: **Synaps Media** — the link between your ideas and your audience.
