Pro Net Hosting (www.pronethosting.com ), a Web hosting service provider has completed its purchase of Homepage Universe (www.homepageuniverse.com ), which it initiated last spring.

    Pro Net has now migrated its customer services and marketing to the user-friendly Homepage Universe portal, which it will use going forward for all its customers.

    Gary Aslanyan, President at Pro Net says: "We purchased Homepage Universe for two reasons". "First, we really liked the user experience they provided - it's clean and simple, with no pitfalls or hidden conditions. It has the kind of appeal a site like GoDaddy has, but is even easier to use. Customers know exactly what they are getting and what they have to do to get it. But our main reason for the purchase was to grow our business without the usual costs and risks of trying to grow through aggressive marketing. Buying Homepage Universe has doubled our size - we now provide shared and dedicated hosting for over 100,000 domains."

    Mr. Aslanyan says the key to making the purchase work is maintaining the excellent customer experience of Homepage, while adding the extensive technical knowhow and support that Pro Net is known for.

    Pro Net/Homepage now offers a wide range of hosting options suitable for individuals, businesses of all sizes, and resellers. Hosting is provided with a choice of Windows or Linux servers, something few other hosting companies offer. They also provide users with a Plesk control panel to manage their domains, free use of SiteBuilder with over 500 free web templates, plus unlimited up and down bandwidth.

    Mr. Aslanyan says: "This acquisition gives us a leading-edge presence that lets us compete with the big boys in hosting."
