Hostway Unveils Preregistration for .Asia Domain Names The highly anticipated .asia TLD is almost here. The highly anticipated .asia TLD is almost here. CHICAGO, Illinois, September 13, 2007 — Recognizing the rapid growth of the Asia/Pacific region, Hostway Corporation, the global Web hosting leader, is offering preregistration for the highly anticipated .asia top-level domain (TLD). Registration for this new TLD officially opens for governments and trademark holders in October. While diverse in culture and language, the Asia/Pacific region is united by the word "Asia" and is home to more than 60% of the world's population, according to United Nations estimates. It is exploding economically, making it the perfect time to launch a TLD to help businesses enter this dynamic marketplace. Hostway is one of only a few registrars with the infrastructure and resources to offer preregistration for .asia domain names. Hostway's no-risk preregistration process is extremely straightforward:
“Hostway has extensive experienced in launching new TLD registrations, having gone through the process most recently with .eu and .mobi,” stated John Enright, vice president of marketing and business development for Hostway. “To be in on the ground floor with .asia was an opportunity we couldn’t miss.” The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved the .asia TLD, as proposed by DotAsia Organisation, Ltd., in October 2006, with the back-end registry to be operated by Afilias. ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers, including domain names and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. Afilias is the registry operator of the .info and .mobi TLDs. Hostway's New Content Delivery Network Drastically Reduces Web Page Load Times Edge Caching uses patent-pending technology to reduce Web site abandonment by cutting the time it takes for Web pages with large images or multimedia files to load. Edge Caching uses patent-pending technology to reduce Web site abandonment by cutting the time it takes for Web pages with large images or multimedia files to load. CHICAGO, Illinois, August 16, 2007 - Hostway Corporation, the global Web hosting leader, released Edge Caching, a content delivery network that makes image and media-heavy Web pages load in seconds. Study after study has shown that people simply click away from a Web site that takes more than a few seconds to load. Edge Caching improves the user experience by speeding content to the visitor's browser. It is especially good for online stores with hundreds of product images, multimedia-heavy Web sites and social media sites with many user-generated profiles. The Edge Caching content delivery network is a group of servers strategically deployed in data centers across four continents (North America, Europe, Asia and Australia). The servers work together to determine the fastest path to speed the data to the user’s screen. For example, without Edge Caching, a Web page displaying multiple product images might take 3 to 30 seconds to load, depending on the distance between the user and the server. That’s even if it's sent over a high-speed Internet connection. The same page using Edge Caching will load in less than .5 seconds, regardless of the distance from server to user. That time differential may be all it takes to lose a prospective customer to the dreaded back button. “User expectations for immediate access to greater content on the Web continue to increase,” said John Enright, Hostway’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Hostway’s Edge Caching offering is our answer to the market demand for the technology to meet these expectations.” Hostway adds Edge Caching to a full line of enterprise-level hosting products that includes dedicated servers, managed servers, colocation, data backup and much more. To find out more about Edge Caching and other enterprise services, visit Hostway's Web site, or call 1-888-874-1893.

The combination of Hostway and Affinity builds from an existing position of market share and strength with end user customers and channel partners alike. The company’s global reach and increased customer base will be an ideal platform for partners interested in expanding the reach of their offerings and customers looking for a complete scalable online business experience. "Both parties are confident that this acquisition will generate benefits for our customers and partners. Hostway brings research and development power to build and deploy compelling and differentiated services, while Affinity has been guiding small businesses to Web success with cutting edge services for over 10 years," said Jim Collins, CEO, Affinity Internet.

In all cases, our customers will be positively impacted by this acquisition - by gaining a new unparalleled power for their online presence." Overview of the Combined Company:
