Hostway Opens New Office in the Netherlands
Chicago— January 16, 2003—Hostway Corporation, a global leader of Web hosting services and online business tools for small- to medium-sized enterprises, today announced its launch of a new Web hosting Center in the Netherlands. With Hostway’s current offices located in the US, UK, and Korea, this new office uniquely positions the company as the only Web hosting company with comprehensive global service strategy.
Hostway’s Dutch office is part of a global growth strategy for the company, strategically opening offices in countries that have robust and thriving Internet economies, the Netherlands being one of them.
The Netherlands’ Web hosting market is the third largest in Europe, right behind Great Britain and Germany. Hostway NL will offer the full set of products and services ranging from shared hosting and dedicated servers.
"Hostway is built on providing innovative technology, best-of-breed customer support, and delivering the best value to our customers. Customers are at the center of our universe. We are excited about opening our fourth Web hosting Center in the Netherlands because it allows us to be closer to our customers. Once again, this shows our commitment of bringing the global hosting standard to local customers everywhere," says Lucas Roh, CEO and founder of Hostway Corporation.
The Netherlands Web hosting Center is manned by local staff and provides a full set of Web hosting products and services, which include domain name registration, shared hosting, and dedicated servers. Hostway will be the first in the country to provide 100% managed dedicated servers, freeing enterprises from the burden of server and network administration.
The first Hostway Web hosting Center outside of the US opened in 2000 in Korea. The United Kingdom Hosting Center opened in 2001. The Korean operation was further expanded with the acquisition of CNIHost, a leading dedicated server-hosting provider in Korea. By opening a Dutch office, Hostway strategically places itself at the forefront of the European Web hosting market and distinguishes itself as the only hosting company aggressively pursuing a global expansion strategy.
