(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Application hosting provider HostMySite (www.hostmysite.com) has acquired Louisville, Kentucky-based Hosting.com (www.hosting.com), marking the company’s first step in its plan to become the go-to national platform for the delivery of managed services, colocation, dedicated servers and virtualized application services.
According to HostMySite’s Tuesday announcement, the addition of Hosting.com’s infrastructure will bring HostMySite’s total, coast-to-coast data center space to 43,000 square feet across four data centers.
“We have listened closely to our customers and they have told us that they desire both managed colocation and managed dedicated solutions for their applications,” HostMySite chief executive officer Art Zeile. “With this acquisition we have made a firm commitment to delivering a full spectrum of managed hosting services across a national platform.”
HostMySite and Hosting.com have both expanded quickly over the past decade by sharing a singular focus on premium-level customer service, according to the Tuesday announcement. The acquisition of Hosting.com helps form a solid foundation for an expanded menu of high-availability and business continuity/disaster recovery solutions for mid-sized enterprise customers.
Also, the acquisition creates a nationwide customer support team backed by SAS-70 and PCI certifications.
Former Hosting.com chief executive officer Darren King noted, “We spent years hiring the best talent in the industry to engineer robust hosting solutions, drive our consultative sales approach, and provide unparalleled SLAs and technical support — WCP-32 Points and HostMySite provide an opportunity to expand upon and deliver these to a significantly larger number of clients.”
In the acquisition, HostMySite was advised by Alston and Bird LLP, Ernst and Young LLP, W. David Snead, Moreton and Company, and Atlas Engineering. Hosting.com was advised by SignalHill Capital Group and Stites & Harbison PLLC.
