NarrowCast Group Selects Hosting.com as Co-Located Server Provider

Both Companies are Among the High-Impact, Fast-Growth Technology Leaders Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky

October 4, 2005 - (Louisville, KY) - NarrowCast Group, LLC, recently selected Hosting.com to manage a portion of its IT operations by co-locating its servers at the hosting company's Louisville, Ky., data center. NarrowCast Group's IT Business Edge web assets will be stored at Hosting.com's fully redundant facility offering reliable connectivity and advanced hosting support for co-location and managed hosting clients.

"We are very pleased to begin a relationship with one of the most innovative and respected sources for business technology intelligence," stated Darren King, President & CEO of Hosting.com. "NarrowCast Group, with its rapidly growing IT Business Edge product, is exactly the type of client that our co-location solutions work best for. It makes it even sweeter when the company is headquartered right in our own back yard."

NarrowCast Group and Hosting.com are both leaders in Louisville's fast-growth, entrepreneurial technology sector. NarrowCast Group was founded by the same management team that launched TechRepublic, the online community for IT professionals now owned by CNET Networks. NarrowCast Group's flagship product, IT Business Edge, helps technology and business decision-makers stay current on the IT issues that have the greatest impact on their companies. More than 200,000 IT Business Edge subscribers receive weekly e-mail reports featuring news, research and analysis aggregated from more than 1,300 sources, all filtered and summarized by IT Business Edge editors in an easy-to-scan format.

"With our subscriber base growing so quickly, we recognized the need to maintain our servers in a reliable and secure environment," said Phil Branon, President of NarrowCast Group. "Hosting.com offers the stable hosting environment we need, redundant connections that provide constant access for our customers, and great customer service for our IT staff."

Hosting.com has also been rapidly expanding since its founding in 1998 under the name Express Technologies, Inc. In June, 2004 the company completed the acquisition of Hosting.com and successfully completed the integration of the new name, customer base and financials into its Louisville operations. Since then, the company has added 20 new employees and has tripled its growth.

Hosting.com is headquartered in Louisville and operates data centers in both Louisville and Boston. Hosting.com offers the most comprehensive managed hosting options on the market today, including dedicated server, co-location and Virtual Private Server options. Currently, the company hosts more than 40,000 web based applications and individual web sites in its two locations.
