DENVER, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- HostMySite, a leading application hosting
provider, announced today that it has acquired Louisville, KY-based
Hosting.com.  This move marks HostMySite's first step in its plan to become
the preeminent national platform for the delivery of managed services,
colocation, dedicated servers and virtualized application services.

HostMySite and Hosting.com have both expanded quickly over the past decade by
sharing a singular focus on premium-level customer service. The combination
provides customers with 43,000 square feet of datacenter space from
coast-to-coast across four data centers.  It creates a solid foundation for an
expanded menu of high-availability and business continuity/disaster recovery
(BCDR) solutions that mid-sized enterprise customers have been searching for. 
Furthermore, this acquisition creates a nationwide customer support team
backed by SAS-70 and PCI certifications. 

"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," commented Art Zeile, CEO at HostMySite. "With this acquisition,
we have made a firm commitment to delivering a full spectrum of managed
hosting services across a national platform." 

Joel Daly, COO further commented, "Customers will continue to experience the
same extraordinary level of customer support that has made us a trusted
partner to thousands of customers over the last 11 years.  We pride ourselves
in having the best team in the industry and look forward to delivering the
same high-quality service through our expanded roster."

Former Hosting.com CEO 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 -- HostMySite provides an opportunity to expand upon and deliver these
to a significantly larger number of clients."

Wachovia Capital Partners provided an additional equity investment to support
the acquisition and Golub Capital provided a $22 million senior credit
facility.    

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 Signal Hill Capital Group and Stites & Harbison
PLLC.
