PEER 1 has provided the company with a fully managed, hosted website solution that seamlessly integrates the website building and publishing environment, content management system, analytics and search engine optimization, all within a single platform.

The customer announcement follows last week's launch of PEER 1's Partner Network, an integrated referral and reseller program aimed at web developers, system integrators and IT consultants.

According to the press release, Sitemasher provides a "rich, technical framework that gives businesses the tools and services to create their own data-driven web applications without programming."

"As we look toward the future of the hosting industry, we see customizations, such as the solution we created for Sitemasher, becoming more prevalent," says Robert Miggins, senior vice president of business development for PEER 1. "The ability to channel our powerful network to support and enable virtualization, is key for the growth of forward-thinking tech companies like Sitemasher, and helps them carve out a niche in the Web 2.0 space."

Since it began beta-testing in April, the company has grown to more than 2,000 customers. Sitemasher credits PEER 1 as being integral to its successful launch.

Unlike its competitors, Sitemasher says it chooses not to focus on one aspect of the website process, such as design, content management, or maintenance.

Instead, the company addresses the entire process by delivering it as a service, enabling businesses to gain control of their web presence without compromising on enterprise-level needs.

PEER 1 offers three types of web hosting services under one roof, including dedicated, managed and colocation services.

These services are supported by the company's network of 15 data centers located in major cities across North America and POPs in Europe.
