Texas.Net Adds 30 Customers to Data Center

January 14, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Texas.net (texas.net), a provider of Internet service, colocation and disaster recovery services, announced yesterday that it has added 30 new customers to its South Internet data center in the past six months.

"Every aspect of our core business is growing - from Internet connectivity and disaster recovery offerings to data center and colocation services," said Jonah Yokubaitis, CEO and co-founder of Texas.Net. "On average, we've been adding one new colocation or disaster recovery customer a week in our South Internet Data Center in Austin. This growth is due largely to the state-of-the-art capabilities of our new data center, our long-standing reputation for running the fastest, most reliable network in the state, and our central Texas location. In fact, new clients from Mexico and Louisiana to as far away as Florida and California have all chosen the Texas.Net South Internet Data Center as home base for implementing colocation and disaster recovery plans."

Texas.net also said that it has appointed five new account executives and promoted Matthew Riley to director of sales for disaster recovery services. Riley previously served as an account manager for Nortel Networks.

The company said it grew by 39 percent in 2003.

In August 2003, Texas.net opened a tier-1 data center in Austin, Texas, the company's fourth such facility.
