October 29, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Interliant, Inc. said today it has sold its shared and unmanaged retail Web hosting business to Interland, Inc. for an undisclosed sum as part of the company’s “ongoing restructuring.”
Interliant (Interliant.com), a worldwide Application Service Provider based in Purchase, NY, provides a suite of services that include managed hosting, security, and professional services. Interland (Interland.com), is one of the Internet’s leading Web hosts, hosting over 300,000 sites through a merger with Micron Electronics earlier this year.
The sale is part of a restructuring that began in April 2001, when Interliant began to focus on a set of four core services including managed messaging, managed hosting, security, and its INIT Branded solutions, along with a number of associated professional services. Since then, the company has made several moves to sell off extraneous services, including the July sale of its ERP/CRM hosting business.
“The sale of our retail hosting business – one of our non-core business areas – is another step in the execution of our restructuring strategy. Interliant will continue to be a major player in the Web hosting sector through our Branded Solutions offerings,” said Bruce Graham, Interliant president and CEO, in a release. “To support our OEM, private label and referral partners, we have made a significant investment in the development of a flexible, scalable, secure platform.”
