| myhosting.com™
top hoster of Microsoft® Windows® 2003 web sites
[16th July 2003]
Toronto,
Ontario --- July 16, 2003. Myhosting.com™, a leading
global provider of affordable and superior web and application
hosting services and a brand of SoftCom Technology Consulting
Inc., has been selected by Net Craft as the top hoster
of Windows 2003 web sites. NetCraft, a leading authority
of research data and analysis for the Internet, conducted
indepth research on the hosting industry noting that
approximately 5 per cent of all new Windows Servers
2003 customers are migrations from the Linux platforms.
“This new operating platform appeals
to a much broader spectrum of hosting customers, from
the serious Microsoft developer who demands the latest
technology, to the less technical SOHO user who requires
a simpler but robust solution,” said Tony Yustein,
CEO of SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc. “This
release of the operating system makes it possible for
us to satisfy all of the increasingly complex needs
of new and existing customers, while providing us with
the benefit of lowering our overall cost structure.”
For hosting companies one of the key
benefits of Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003
operating system is the Microsoft Web Server technology,
IIS 6.0 (Internet Information Server). IIS 6.0 has been
significantly improved to include many new features
for the Web application server role of Windows Server
2003.
“By delivering the most advanced
technology available, myhosting.com is offering its
customers a reliable solution that allows them to realize
an edge over the competition,” said David Willis,
Director, Small and Mid-Market Solutions & Partners,
Microsoft Canada Co. “This recognition from NetCraft
is a testament to myhosting.com’s leadership in
the market and we look forward to continuing to work
with them in delivering a quality web hosting experience.”
Since
myhosting.com began offering the Microsoft® WindowsServer™
2003 to all new customers in April, the response has
been extremely positive. By the end of August 2003,
all 40,000 existing myhosting.com customers will be
migrated from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server
2003.
As recently as April, 2003, Netcraft
also reported myhosting.com to be the world’s
largest Microsoft exclusive web and application hosting
provider.
