Chicago, Illinois, February 13, 2006—TopHosts named Hostway Corporation, a leading provider of Web hosting and managed services, the top Web hosting provider on its Top 25 list based on the company’s exceptional dedication to service and technology and its continued commitment to its customers.
“Hostway has constantly excelled in providing what Web hosting clients truly demand, namely, top-notch customer service coupled with industry-leading hosting solutions that reflect the changing needs of today’s businesses,” said Rob Laidlaw, CEO of TopHosts.com. “The new data center at Hostway to be completed June 2006 is yet another example of how it consistently strives to keep current with technology trends to better support its customer base, as the data center will undoubtedly set the standard in the industry.”
Each month, review panels rigorously test products from thousands of hosting companies that apply for the award. The panels consider many factors including: competitive advantages, technological offerings, pricing, value-added services, usability, uptime guarantee, customer and technical support and average response time.
Results are combined with user feedback from the hundreds of thousands of Webmasters that visit TopHosts.com. With current estimates putting the total number of Web hosts at 10,000 worldwide, the Top 25 list is an excellent starting point for companies searching for a hosting provider.
"Hostway has been presented with numerous industry awards in the past, however this recognition from TopHosts is significant because the awards are based on feedback from the Web hosting community," said John Lee, vice president of global marketing and general manager for Hostway. "Hostway’s customers are our highest priority and acknowledgments like these reaffirm our success in providing superior service and consistently meeting our customers’ needs."
