The company's stock has been trading in the over-the-counter market under the symbol XOCM.OB since it emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of 2003.
"By beginning the process to list XO's shares on the NASDAQ, we move closer to achieving another milestone set out for the company," Carl Grivner, chief executive officer of XO Communications. "The listing of XO's common stock on the NASDAQ will enhance the company's liquidity, providing benefits to both XO and its shareholders. It will also enhance our ability to meet our stated goals of expanding our company by acquisitions through the use of both cash and stock."
XO said that as part of the Nasdaq approval process, it will be required to meet certain eligibility criteria including audit committee membership standards as well as other qualitative and quantitative requirements.
XO recently raised nearly $200 million through a rights offering. The proceeds were used to reduce the company's total debt load from $536.5 million to $338.9 million.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
