The acquisition enables Globat to begin offering multiple Web hosting platforms, including cPanel and Plesk to its customers. It also strengthens the company's stronghold in the industry and its growing visibility among more experienced Web hosting consumers, says Globat.

"Newista has been very successful in the hosting industry since 2003 and is known for intensely focusing on personalized customer service. Customer experience has also always been Globat's number one priority," says Globat's CEO Ben R. Neumann. "It was a natural fit. The combined strengths of both companies will allow us to offer an even wider range of Web hosting choices along with nearly unprecedented customer care."

Newista says it has always been proud of its offerings and has had a strong footing in the industry but it is very happy to become part of the Globat family and become an even stronger player in the industry through this acquisition.

Globat most recently offered a Web hosting promotion to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
