The Web host specializes in providing hosting solutions for eZ Publish, an open source enterprise content management developed by eZ Systems (ez.no). The new San Francisco office launch coincides with the opening of a new eZ Systems North American office opening in Chicago, Illinois.

WebDeal is also opening a state-of-the-art data center in San Jose, California, enabling the company to cater to a new market. The company says it will be focusing mainly on eZ Publish solutions and hosting plans ranging from shared premium hosting to fully managed dedicated servers and clusters.

"We are very excited that WebDeal is bringing its considerable expertise with eZ Publish hosting to the North American market," says Graham Tillotson, managing director of eZ Systems North America. "Most of our customers choose to host their eZ Publish solutions, and WebDeal has the unique combination of proven hosting experience and deep knowledge of the eZ Publish content management system."

This expansion into the US follows WebDeal's recent openings of offices in Oslo, Norway and London, UK. The new US division will enable WebDeal to get closer to partners and customers within North America, as well as extend its global reach.
