UK2 Acquires Stargate Domain, Shared Hosting and Reseller Clients

LONDON, 12th October 2007 - Leading web hosting organization UK-2 Group (www.uk2group.com), announced today that it has completed the acquisition of the Domain, Shared Hosting and Reseller customers of US hosting provider Stargate Holdings Corp. The acquisition follows the recent decision by Stargate to focus exclusively on Data Center, Colocation and Dedicated Hosting services, and heralds the expansion of UK-2 Group into the American marketplace.

“The acquisition of the domain, shared hosting and reseller customers from Stargate is a big step for us” commented UK-2 Group CEO Ditlev Bredahl. “Not only does it significantly grow our business and market share, but expansion into the US hosting market allows us to become a truly global organization, and will play a key role in UK-2 Group’s ongoing growth strategy.”

UK-2 Group has been a significant player in the British and European hosting markets for many years, and recently underwent a large restructure, making important organizational changes in readiness for customer growth plans and challenging the bigger hosting brands.

UK-2 Group will now integrate the Stargate customers into two new brands – US2.net and Resell.biz. US2.net will be an expert and innovative hosting option for both individuals and small businesses, and the shared and dedicated hosting packages will offer outstanding value in the highly competitive marketplace. Resell.biz will support and grow the reseller customer base by offering a range of attractive products and services, tailored for customization and selling on to end users. As part of the UK-2 Group, US2.net and Resell.biz customers will benefit from long standing hosting industry experience and knowledge. The talented and dedicated members of staff supporting the brands will ensure that all clients are provided with the best customer service and technical support in the industry.
