Go Web Services by Mediablend offers many services such as, web hosting, website templates, PTA web site management, online event registration, ecommerce solutions and much more.

To start with - 2 of the reseller hosting accounts that I had with

EartHoster.com and with SoftDreams.net disappeared in thin air.

Just like it happened with Hostecs.com - it happened with these

two. With them many, many, many of my sites were off line as

you can imagine.

Why the Rackspace IPO is Good for Hosting

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:28:00 -0500
As reported here at The WHIR and around the Internet, Rackspace has filed the preliminary paperwork with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to issue an Initial Public Offer of stock (IPO). The complete S-1 documents can be found here and make pretty interesting reading for anyone who has a business involving web servers or large scale hosting.

Assuming that the IPO is issued, and that Rackspace becomes a New York Stock Exchange traded stock - this is great news for the web hosting industry. Here are the main reasons why:

An IPO at this time indicates that this sector is growing like crazy despite the specter of a U.S. recession - While there has been a pull back in a number of high visibility stock market sectors (think: housing markets, mortgages, banking, consumer durables) there is actually an acceleration in web hosting going on. This is driven by the growing acceptance of the web as the place for any and all data and applications. We are witnessing the transference of data from the desktop to the 'cloud'. Rackspace is riding the crest of this wave and pointing the way for the entire hosting industry.

Rackspace is an almost pure play web hosting company - Anyone, either within the web hosting industry or outside, can now have much greater visibility into the specific metrics that make web hosting a great business. Many investors are reluctant to invest in a sector or industry which is complex or laden with technical jargon. Rackspace will educate the market on many of the terms and realities that accompany web hosting operations. This will benefit other web hosting companies seeking investment in the future.

A successful IPO will create demand among investors for similar companies - Once Rackspace reveals the money to be made in web hosting, the larger investment community will seek out web hosting investments. This will mean more money available for web hosting companies in every niche of hosting. In essence, the business model will be vetted and the mechanisms for profit better understood.

The publicity surrounding the IPO will generate buzz for 'web hosting' - Just by submitting the S-1 documents, Rackspace has already created a substantial buzz around the investment and Internet communities related to web hosting. As of this morning, there are over 111 references to Rackspace on Google news. Over 35 of those posted in the past few hours, and all related to the IPO. Web hosting buzz and publicity enriches all those in this industry.

I wish everyone over a Rackspace the very best of luck with this exciting new venture, and on behalf of the entire web hosting industry I offer a heart-felt, ''Thank You''.

The End of a Year - December 2007 Hosting M&A

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:55:00 -0400

Some M&A info from the NCC files for December 2007 - Not all inclusive but interesting...

Madrid, Spain - Private equity firms The Carlyle Group and Mercapital acquired Spanish Web hosting and domain registrar Arsys (arsys.net) for about $230 million. 550,000 domains registered, 170,000 customers and 250 employees.

San Francisco, CA - Digital Realty Trust acquired two European data centers; Cressex 1 in London, England 51,000 sq/ft and Naritaweg 52 in Amsterdam, Netherlands - 63,000 sq/ft.

San Mateo, CA - Garnett & Helfrich Capital purchased MTI Europe in a court-supervised auction. MTI offers the managed services, data storage, protection and collocation services.

Montreal, Canada - HostingDiscussion.com acquired and merged with HostingRefuge.com and TalkWebHosts.com

Macomb, IL - McDonough Telephone Cooperative (MDTC) acquiring Infobahn Outfitters a web hosting and web design company.

Suwanee, GA — Quality Technology Services, a provider of data center and managed services, acquired the customer base of First National Technology Solutions in Kansas City. QualityTech will boost its annual revenues over $100 million with the deal.

Lancashire UK - Red Fox Hosting acquired AGUK Hosting, managed and exchange hosting services

Herndon, VA - SWsoft acquired WebHost Automation Ltd. (Bristol, U.K.) maker of the Helm control panel and billing software for Windows - 1.5 million worldwide end users.

London, UK - UK-2 Group, Ltd acquired Dan Ushman’s Chicago based midPhase Services Inc.’s shared and VPS businesses. Dan keeps his fingers in the pie as he works his way up the food chain - why? UK-2 will collocate the acquired assets at SingleHop, Inc, a company owned and operated by Zak Boca and Dan Ushman. (High 5 on that one!)

My favorite acquisition of the month:
Chatswood NSW Australia - Broadcast Australia entered into an agreement to acquire Hostworks Group Limited a full service dedicated/managed colo company in a $68.9 million transaction. Each firm’s competencies complement each other – actually/really – synergistic - Check out the links to see what I mean. This is a great marriage – also the deal is a 37% premium to the latest closing price of Hostworks shares.

The UK and its past and related domains were busy in December.
