Endurance Buys Web Host PowWeb
April 18, 2006 – (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Shared Web hosting provider PowWeb (powweb.com) announced on Monday that it had been acquired by The Endurance International Group (enduranceinternational.com), which owns several other Web hosting firms, including BizLand and FatCow.
Financial details of the sale were not disclosed, but the companies say Endurance will maintain the PowWeb brand, as well as its popular online forums.
“We’re very excited to work with an online community as dynamic and engaging as PowWeb’s,” says Steve Sydness, CEO of Endurance. “Listening and responding to customer feedback is a hallmark of Endurance. The PowWeb forums will provide a great vehicle for staying close to our customers.”
PowWeb CEO Andrew Te says the company is about to begin the process of migrating customer Web sites and email to a new hosting platform that employs the company’s proprietary load-balanced hosting technology. He says the new platform will support all its customer sites from a single massively shared hosting pool, which will provide greater redundancy.
“While its ownership has changed, PowWeb’s commitment to providing high-quality, rock-solid hosting solutions is stronger than ever,” says Te.
