Data393 founding CEO Lee Woodward will serve as chief executive for the new company, which will combine the support staffs and back-office systems to create a more financially sound service provider.
"Both Huge Hosting and Ventures Online were considering moving their hosting operations to Data393's facilities," said Huge Hosting president Alex Burney. "But then we saw a unique opportunity to create a comprehensive, technically superior services provider that gives customers the stability and personal focus of a locally owned company."
"All three companies have already established their ability to compete with and outperform the industry giants out there," Burney said. "As a single company we're giving Colorado a new telecommunications company it can be proud of."
"Data393's facilitates are as good as any Web hosting business and its customers could want or need," said John Burns, CEO of Ventures Online. "We get excellent fiber connections from eight Tier-1 Internet service providers, enabling us to deliver our customers' web content at maximum speed. This new company is in a tremendous position to host even the most complex, data-rich web sites with complete reliability, security and responsiveness."
Data393 launched last year, operating out of a former COLO.COM facility in the Inverness Business Park in Englewood, a suburb of Denver. Woodward bought the building housing Data393 in 1993 and later leased it to COLO.COM, which invested $8.5 million in finishing the site as a raised-floor data center. COLO.COM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May, 2001 and returned the space to Woodward's company.
Formed in September 1997, Ventures Online evolved from a web business to a full-service advanced hosting company.
Huge Hosting was launched in 2001 by three former executives of ICC, Alex Burney, Bill Heuston and Blake Skinner. Later that year the company acquired the shared hosting business of Verado, adding 7,000 customers.
Data393 is located at 393 Inverness Parkway in Englewood, Colorado.
