Toronto, Canada - As preparations are being made for HostingCon 2007, the premiere Web hosting conference of the year, two of the most recognized names in the industry, TopHosts.Com and FastServers.Net, have partnered to help catapult the event even further.

TopHosts.Com, the ultimate Web hosting industry resource and directory, and FastServers.Net, a managed dedicated hosting specialist, are delighted to announce a Business Networking Cruise on Tuesday July 24th commencing at 6 PM, after the daily HostingCon conference activities.

While aboard the well-furbished and beautifully crafted Mystic Blue vessel, which sports three enclosed decks and one open-air deck, cruise participants will have three hours for business discussions, "shop talk" or just enjoying the spectacular view of the Chicago Skyline. The panoramic, world-famous view from Lake Michigan, voted among the best in America, offers unmatched scenes of the Sears Tower, the John Hancock, the Field Museum and the Aon Center. Barbecue fare, light food menu items and an open bar are included.

TopHosts and FastServers will be inviting special guests to the limited seating VIP section on the open-deck.
