Hosting.com Acquired by HostMySite

Dear Valued Customer:

I am pleased to announce that HostMySite has acquired Hosting.com.

I would like to take some time to tell you about the benefits of this acquisition, and to address any concerns you may have. We recognize that you selected Hosting.com to be your service partner for a variety of reasons. In addition, we understand that HostMySite must earn your trust during this transition. We are committed to doing so.

HostMySite has been in operation for 12 years. Since June of 2008, HostMySite has had the financial backing of Wachovia Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm in the U.S., investing from a $1.8 billion fund. Despite these challenging economic times, HostMySite is financially sound and has grown revenues by over 34 percent in the 1st quarter of 2009. In addition, HostMySite is cash flow, EBITDA and net income positive.

In addition to our dedication to financial responsibility, HostMySite has a strong commitment to our core value proposition, which lies in extraordinary customer service. You will continue to be served by the same Hosting.com support team with the added benefit of “Entourage” methodology. Entourage is a personalized dedicated support framework devoted to meeting your specific business needs quickly and efficiently for your distinct application configuration, ticket history and operating procedures.

Our vision is to become the preeminent national platform for the delivery of managed services, colocation, dedicated servers and virtualized application services. We believe in hiring the most talented people in the industry and giving them tools, processes and platforms to deliver best in class service.

We will continue to expand our datacenter footprint. Combining the two companies, we will now offer over 43,000 square feet of datacenter space from coast-to-coast. We plan to embark on an expansion of the San Francisco datacenter immediately.

Throughout this integration process we will remain focused on you – our customer. If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your Account Executive, the Support Center at (800) 446-7627, or me directly.

Sincerely,

Art Zeile
CEO, HostMySite

Domain Registration at Triple.com

Triple.com is a domain name registration site that offers other services as well, such as web hosting & SSL certificates since 2003. They offer 24/7 customer support with the option of calling and speaking to a person or using their online instant messaging service. Their hosting services come with a 99.9% uptime rate, 30-day money back guarantee, data protection, and 24/7 onsite physical security among other things. They have competitive pricing on their domain name registrations and do run specials for even lower prices at times. They offer Thawte SSL Certificates to help you secure your website, which we all know is crucial to putting the minds of customers at ease.

Triple.com is very popular for their highly competitive affiliate program. This is a great way for bloggers like us to make a little extra money. You initially get 25% of what every person buys from your referral. That gets bumped up to 30% after accreditation occurs. Another intriguing part of the affiliate program is if you were to invite another webmaster to use the affiliate program, you initially get 10% of their sales. That also gets raised to 15% after accreditation. Registering for the program is absolutely free. The money is transferred through PayPal automatically after you reach the $20 minimum earnings. Initially the payments are made every month and then bumped up to every week after accreditation. Who wouldn’t love getting paid to sell products and services that people want and were intending to buy already, instead of having to sell products you have to shove down their throats? ME!

A plan by ICANN to open op the domain name system to new suffixes creates opportunities for companies to build and strengthen their brand identities. While the cost to create a domain would be as much as half a million, it’s a drop in the marketing bucket, writes branding expert Naseem Javed.

The latest ICANN plan to allow the global populace to assemble an entire domain name like www.yourname.yourname as their free choice is a revolutionary and timely decision. This now opens doors to cyber-brands like “my.ibm,” “hotel.chicago,” “it.jobs,” “play.poker,” “fly.usa” or “go.dell.” Applicants will submit a non-refundable fee of US$100,000 to $500,000 for each name idea, and businesses are already jumping to get started.
