San Diego, California - (The Hosting News) - September 25, 2007 - Green powered Internet services firm, and web hosting design firm, Greenest Host, has appointed author and international environmental business entrepreneur, Paul Hannam, as Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Hannam is co-founder and Chairman at Bright Green Talent, a venture with the mission to recruit the brightest and the best talent in the world to work for organizations that are committed to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Previously, he founded a computer recruitment and executive search business in England that topped $50 million in annual revenue. Between 2001 and 2005 he was an Associate Fellow at the Oxford University Environmental Change Institute.

Mr. Hannam explained, ”There are lots of synergies between Bright Green Talent and Greenest Host. It is funny how life works. Over seven years ago, I came to the United States to find a growing Internet company in whom I could invest and it changed my life completely. I didn’t find that company, but, instead, I ended up joining the green movement. Now, seven years later, I returned to find a thriving green venture in which to invest and I ended up joining an Internet company. Greenest Host is definitely best positioned to provide full service web and marketing outsourcing for green businesses.”

The company plans to expand its existing network of green business partners as well as add marketing and technology support to round out their platform of green web services.

Mike Corrales, CEO of Greenest Host added, ”We will continue to make it easy for small to midsize businesses to turn their IT infrastructures into zero emissions showcases. However, adding Paul’s strategic vision and fantastic connections with the world’s green leaders to our record of executing cutting-edge Internet solutions for customers could not be a better fit.”

An August 2007 study by the U.S. EPA concluded that U.S. Data Centers consumed 61 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. That is more than all of the nation’s televisions and similar to the amount of electricity consumed by approximately 5.8 million average U.S. households. Greenest Host is helping a rapidly growing list of companies reduce their carbon footprint through a 100% solar powered data center operation and web consulting services. The company only offers solutions powered by 100% renewable energy so that there is no need for carbon offsetting.

Greenest Host made its 100% solar powered web hosting plans available in August, including the traditional web hosting solutions such as domain registration, email account hosting, and custom website building. Greenest Host’s services, operate through its green technology data center, which operates 100% of the time on clean solar energy. The company has combined cutting edge green power technology with custom, easy-to-use account management software, point-and-click website development tools, and world-class ecommerce software. For the first time, consumers and small businesses have the freedom to sign up for a green technology web hosting account, build a web presence, and know that with every web visitor’s click they are reducing carbon emissions. And for every new account created through the end of 2007, Greenest Host will donate $5 to the Environmental Defense Fund - up to $500,000.

Greenest Host also sponsored the Green Power Inside ”Million Green Powered Website” campaign, where the goal was to convert one million websites to clean power, resulting in pollution reductions equivalent to:

• 2,000 passenger cars not driven for one year
• 1,070,000 gallons of gasoline not burned
• 21,900 barrels of oil not burned
• 1,200 households not using electricity for a year
• 240,000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years
• 7,900 acres of pine or fir forests storing carbon for one year
• 77 acres of forest preserved from deforestation
• 48 railcars of coal not burned
• 3,200 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled

Greenest Host provides web hosting, strategic web development, and web marketing, to green and ethical businesses. The company’s mandate is to effect change, by offering zero emissions web services from web hosting to full outsourcing of corporate web strategies. The company powers its servers and data center cooling with 100% clean solar power 100% of the time. The service was first launched in August 2007. Greenest Host is a privately held company headquartered in San Diego, California.

Tarrytown, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - September 25, 2007 - Web hosting provider, Hostpoint AG, will collaborate with Open-Xchange, to offer hosted email services for over 250,000 users.

Later this year, Hostpoint will replace the webmailer for their 250,000 email accounts with a new webmail module from Open-Xchange, which uses an innovative AJAX web interface to deliver new features and improved usability. Hostpoint will also offer additional Open-Xchange modules enabling users to seamlessly upgrade to a full-featured collaboration solution.

Following the partnership with 1 and 1 Internet Inc., the world’s largest hosting provider, this partnership further validates Open-Xchange’s strategy to serve the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) market: Open-Xchange is committed to supply the SME market with world class email and collaboration solutions through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and web-hosting companies like Hostpoint. This partnership is therefore intended to push Hostpoint into the fast-growing ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) market.

Gerald Labie, CEO of Open-Xchange remarked, ”Webhosters, Internet Service Providers and Telecoms are perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand for new applications (SaaS) from millions of SMEs by leveraging their current customer relationships and infrastructures and by offering improved webmail and new groupware capabilities over the simple webmail in place today. By making Open-Xchange Smart Collaboration easily available with our partners, we are helping to transform the way people communicate that simplifies their everyday work, life, and social interaction.”

As part of the agreement, Hostpoint will deploy Open-Xchange’s advanced AJAX-based email webclient to their 250,000 email accounts as part of their standard offerings. This will provide users with a highly advanced and feature-rich product with unprecedented ease of use. Furthermore, users can easily upgrade to a full-featured personal information management (PIM) as well as a groupware solution. Hostpoint primarily addresses small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) that are currently using outdated groupware solutions or have none at all. Using Open-Xchange Hosting Edition, Hostpoint customers will benefit from a full service solution including storage, maintenance, backup, anti-virus and anti-spam.

Claudius Rollin, Chief Customer Officer of Hostpoint added, ”SaaS is a new and disruptive way for SMEs to benefit from innovative software. With hosted Open-Xchange, SMEs can make use of groupware technology without an initial investment or ongoing administration efforts at unrivalled price points — which is in fact less than the cost of the electric power to run an in-house email server.”

Designed for ISP’s and Webhosters The Open-Xchange Hosting Edition is the only groupware solution designed specifically to meet the needs of hosting providers. It has been architected to integrate into a hosting provider’s existing infrastructure such as authentication, provisioning, billing, and email storage rather than require that these systems be replaced. Open-Xchange Hosting Edition is built on enterprise proven open source technologies such as Apache, and MySQL, and is able to scale up to millions of users.

Open-Xchange Hosting Edition offers multi-tenant and multi-domain capabilities, enabling webhosters to serve hundreds of thousand clients in a virtual server environment. This ensures a maximum level of service and customer satisfaction, while making best use of existing hardware resources. Open-Xchange Hosting Edition offers the necessary services and interfaces to integrate into automated administration, deployment and monitoring tools, ensuring 24/7 uptime 365 days a year.

Productivity is enhanced through unique teamwork features, like team view, single-password document sharing, and shared calendars, contacts, tasks and documents.

In addition, the option of synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook is available as well.

Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - August 29, 2007 - Shared, dedicated and reseller web hosting firm, Host Gator’s new subsidiary, SEO Hosting, has added twelve free search engine optimization scripts to its portfolio of offerings, to maximize customer web site search engine placement.

Vancouver, Washington - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - August 16, 2007 - Wholly owned subsidiary of EarthLink Inc., New Edge Networks, has entered into a contract to build and manage a private communications network for Express Check Advance LLC, one of the largest payday cash advance services in the Southeast.

Under terms of a two-year agreement, New Edge Networks will build and manage Express Check Advance’s network. This includes network monitoring, reporting, and trouble ticketing. Express Check Advance will have online access to a network dashboard.New Edge expects to complete installation by the end of August.

Express Check Advance will use its high-speed wide area network to introduce new products and offer more convenient services through a new point of sale system that offers real-time access to branch transactions and information. The DSL-based private network links 140 branch locations in seven states with the company’s headquarters in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Scott H. Swiney, Director of IT for Express Check Advance remarked, ”When customers come to our branches empty-handed, we can make it convenient for them to complete a transaction with us rather than having them leave and return with necessary documents, or potentially not come back at all. Our new network will help us eliminate a lot of manual processes so we can be more efficient and focus on building loyal relationships with customers.”

By using payday advances responsibly, consumers can effectively deal with unexpected financial emergencies. Typically, a customer uses a payday advance to cover small, unexpected expenses between paydays to avoid expensive bounced-check fees, late bill payment penalties, and other less desirable short-term credit options. The network will enable branch locations to instantly verify online banking accounts or employment. It will also help usher in new products and services such as title loans, check cashing, gift and prepaid cards as well as debit cards.

Mr. Swiney continued, ”We went through a lengthy process for selecting a provider. We were impressed with New Edge’s pricing, coverage, pre-qualifications, and installation process. Our final network is going to closely resemble what was in the original proposal we received from New Edge; I do not expect any surprises.”

Greg Griffiths, Vice President of Marketing for New Edge Networks added, ”The private managed network that New Edge is building for Express Check Advance will provide flexibility for future growth and expansion. Planned network applications will help them grow revenue, cut expenses, and improve the overall experience for their customers.”

Formed in 1998, Express Check Advance is a deferred presentment company headquartered in Chattanooga, Tenn. Express Check Advance has locations in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Colorado, Nebraska, and Virginia. Express Check Advance is presently operating more than 140 branches with future plans for continued aggressive growth through new branch openings, acquisitions, and addition of new product offerings.

Vancouver, Washington - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - July 19, 2007 - EarthLink Inc.’a New Edge Networks, has been chosen to support a private network installation, by DavCo Restaurants Inc., a franchisee of Wendy’s International Inc., to improve its website operations.

The network is expected to be fully operational by the end of July. DavCo’s private wide area network links more than 160 Wendy’s restaurants in northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Until recently, DavCo restaurants were using a combination of dial-up telephone connections and individual high-speed connections that were not part of a managed network.

Stacy A. Duncan, Director of Information Technology for DavCo, based in Crofton, Md offered, ”The need for improved security and use of new technology in our stores prompted DavCo to switch to a private managed network. A private network allows DavCo to optimize operating efficiency for better serving our customers.”

Last year, DavCo installed a new point-of-sale system and upgraded its computers to accommodate data polling, credit card transactions and back office data management. Now with a high-speed network, the Wendy’s franchisee is poised to do remote sales polling every 15 minutes to an enterprise web site, allow store managers to submit food orders online versus using fax orders, and enable the store managers to use a new Wendy’s Web portal for food cost management. This completely automates the food cost management process saving managers hours of manual paperwork.

Ms. Duncan remarked, ”With our new network, restaurants are processing credit card transactions in three to five seconds versus 21 to 30 seconds on dial-up. When we moved (stores) to the network, the reaction from our managers was, ‘Wow. This is great.”’

With restaurants spread out over two states plus the District of Columbia, DavCo turned to New Edge Networks as a single-source provider for its managed network. New Edge Networks offered DavCo guaranteed flat-rate national pricing, regardless of the high-speed access type available at each location. By using a network, DavCo was able to eliminate one to three regular telephone lines at each restaurant. This helped DavCo hold down its average monthly total communications costs.

Greg Griffiths, Vice President of Marketing for New Edge Networks added, ”DavCo’s smart use of technology is helping increase sales by improving the overall guest experience. In the quick service restaurant industry, which operates on margins that are pennies on a dollar, every little improvement helps build substantial business improvements.”

DavCo Restaurants Inc. is one of the largest Wendy’s franchisees with an enviable reputation for progressive and professional management. Based in Crofton, Md., DavCo is poised to grow continually and effectively well into the 21st century. DavCo also is the eighth largest restaurant franchisee in the United States and one of the top 10 private employers in Mid-Atlantic Region.

New Edge Networks, based in Vancouver, Washington, is a wholly owned subsidiary of EarthLink Inc. (NASDQ: ELNK). New Edge Networks builds and manages private networks for businesses and communications providers. Through its nationwide backbone network with about 900 switches and Internet routers, New Edge Networks uses any blend of access technologies (xDSL, frame relay, ATM, cable, wireless, and satellite) for providing broadband connectivity at any business address in the United States. Network options include any combination of access, network management functions, and on-site installation services.
