Web Hosting Company, Host Color, Offers Free .EU Domains

South Bend, Indiana - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 8, 2006 -
Web hosting provider, Host Color, is offering a multi domain web hosting plan, allowing its customers to host 10 different websites in one web hosting account.
The plan comes with 10 GB space and 200 GB monthly transfer. Site owners can share data and services between ten different websites. Additional space and bandwidth are also available at low cost.
Alexander Avramov, Customer Care Manager at Host Color offered, ''We hope that opening .EU domain for public registration to EU citizens will globalize the European web hosting service market which now is still divided by national borders. Host Color LLC pays significant attention to the European market. We hope it becomes more competitive and more web hosts are encouraged to step over the national borders and to start providing web hosting services across Europe.''
Besides the .EU domain promotion, Host Color also offers one free month to everyone who joins with a 6 month subscription. The web hosting provider announced it will keep the bonus month when customers renew their service.
Host Color's executives claim their company has strong market positions in providing reliable budget and shared web hosting services. Mr. Avramov continued, ''Serving thousands of personal and small business customers and securing reliable support and personalized service is what we have been doing for 5 years ago. We took a certain risk by establishing .EU hosting service at time when most Europeans preferred to use web hosts based in their own countries.''
Business analysts are reported as saying that development of the European Enion dot-com economy will receive massive boost from .EU domain launch. Registered EU domains are now more than 1.5 million, a number which already surpassed the active .biz extensions.
Host Color says the company is focused in providing value added website and business tools to hosting customers instead of increasing space and bandwidth limits to ridiculous numbers.
Stoyan Marinov, System Engineer at Host Color commented, ''It is very clear that no one can host even 100 web sites per server if they allow every single customer to use for example 15 GB space and 500 GB monthly transfer. An industry leading server providers such as EV1 offered a dedicated server with 500 GB monthly transfer rate in 2003. Now many shared hosts claim they provide their shared hosting customers with the same amount of data transfer. They know know the only chance to provide the service offered is to hope that customers would never require it.''
Host Color LLC is a US web hosting company incorporated in Delaware. It has been operating on the hosting market since 2000. The company hosts thousands of personal and business web sites, offering web hosting services in US and European data centers. The hosting company provides shared hosting services in Europe through Host Color Europe.

Two of the largest Web hosting providers in the world have been acquired by investment firm GI Partners (gipartners.com), according to industry sources.

Let Rackspace make the difference with reliable managed hosting solutions backed by Fanatical Support.™ 100% Network Uptime Money-Back Guar., 1-hour hardware replacement, 24/7 LIVE, MS and LNX certified technical support.
GI Partners, based in Menlo Park, California, reportedly purchased a controlling interest in each of Everyone’s Internet (ev1.net) and The Planet (theplanet.com), both of which are based in Texas.

A report published Saturday morning by the Houston Chronicle quoted Everyone’s Internet CEO and president Robert Marsh as saying, "We're excited about GI Partners' outlook on the industry and think we'll make good partners."

Details of these deals are expected early next week. Both companies will maintain independent operations and, according to industry sources, customers should not notice any immediate service or operations changes.

"The entire management team currently in place at Everyones Internet will stay in place and will be for the foreseeable future," said Marsh. He also said that GI's investment will allow EV1 to continue to bring new products and services to the marketplace.

According to Netcraft's (netcraft.com) Hosting Provider Switching Analysis, The Planet and EV1Servers are the fourth and seventh largest hosting providers in the world, respectively, and the top two dedicated hosting companies. Both companies have experienced massive growth during the past three years. The Planet announced "record sales" for 2005, with revenue growth at 60%.

Over the last several months, Everyone’s Internet has reallocated its marketing dollars and has not been taking on too many new initiatives. The company has pulled sponsorship of Houston Astros foul poles at Minute Maid Park. The company also won't be renewing its three-year sponsorship, which ends this year, of the art car parade or a three-year agreement, which ended last year, giving the company naming rights to the Houston Bowl college football game.

"With a preponderance of our revenue derived from hosting, and much of that from international markets, we are shifting our marketing expenses to venues more likely to reach our target market," Marsh said.

GI Partners specializes in investments in midsized companies and its Web site notes it "typically pursues transactions of $100 million to $500 million in enterprise value where $50 million to $200 million of initial equity can be invested."

The firm has $1.4 billion of capital under management. It also has significant investments in hosting and data center businesses Digital Realty Trust (digitalrealtytrust.com) and SAVVIS (savvis.net).
