FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb 15, 2005 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- C I Host, a global leader in Web hosting and data center operations, today announced its partnership with Sean Healy Presents and WeBookBands.com to promote C I Host's West Coast operations, including data centers in Los Angeles and San Jose.

"If there is a concert ticket in the pocket of a young, hip, early adopter on the West Coast, Sean Healy Presents is probably the promoter, and now C I Host will have its name printed on there too," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host.
