COLUMBUS, OH — Dec. 18, 2003 — CeraNet Inc. continues to deliver innovative, technology-laden solutions to its clients to help them solve complex business issues the easiest and most economical ways. CeraNet recently completed a pair of acquisitions that help to increase its customer base by more than 20%. Introduction of an enhanced web site error tracking and correction system for its customers, as well as 24 hour a day, 7 day a week live support have increased customer satisfaction to an all time high. These new clients and systems help to solidify CeraNet’s position as a leader for managed web hosting business.

CeraNet (www.cera.net) has acquired the hosting clients and assets of two hosting providers in the Midwest and Southeast United States. The clients will be migrated into an existing data center in their Columbus, Ohio, headquarters.

“Our recent acquisitions allow us to grow our customer base at an effective cost, without the expense and uncertainty of traditional advertising,” said Jason Harris, executive vice-president of CeraNet, Inc. “These clients will allow us to continue to grow our managed web hosting business unit and expand our potential base for future applications and services.”

CeraNet provides managed web hosting solutions for small to medium sized businesses that need personalized service and support. “Our hosting services are designed to allow our clients to have the benefits of a completely dedicated IT staff for their web services, email, and applications, at a fraction of the price,” Harris added. “There are many hosting companies out there that you can get unlimited bandwidth and storage for $1.99 a month, but they do not and cannot provide personalized service and support that most businesses desire.”

According to a recent report by technology analyst firm Gartner, Inc., the web hosting business is due to grow 5 to 6 fold in the next four years; with a significant increase in the percentage of businesses looking for fully managed web, email, and application hosting services from a primary technology partner.

Each CeraNet web hosting client can customize their services according to their exact business needs. They can choose from different service levels, support applications such as error tracking and correction for their web site, feature rich easy to use applications such as a newsletter, message board, or e-commerce, and more. Account pricing starts at $89.00 per year and can run into the tens of thousands per month depending on individual requirements.
