Hosting.com Launches Wireless Initiative [October 8, 2004]

October 8, 2004- (Louisville, KY) Louisville-based Hosting.com, Inc. (www.hosting.com) announced today that it now offers a free WiFi hot spot outside Hosting.com’s worldwide headquarters on 4th Street in downtown Louisville. Hosting.com’s tests show its powerful WiFi signal should provide coverage outdoors and in most bars and restaurants located across the street from Hosting.com’s headquarters.

Hosting.com is launching this service as part of the Company’s entrance into the wireless connectivity business with its exclusive wireless partner iSkyWire, LLC. This is the first step in a series of initiatives the two companies have developed to bring affordable, reliable, and secure high speed Internet connectivity to businesses in the Greater Louisville market.

“Not only will laptops be able to tap into Hosting.com huge Internet pipes, but most PDA’s cell phones and hand-helds will also be WiFi-enabled on 4th Street,” comments Chuck Deaton, Partner of Operations at iSkyWire. “We are proud to be able to display our best-of-breed technology through our Hosting.com partnership in Louisville’s fastest growing entertainment district,” continues Deaton. “The entire process will be simple and easy for the end user.
