I have created this website to help web users find web hosting services in the U.K. If you are looking for web hosting services in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), make sure you enquire about the price, bandwidth allowance, website references and support issues. Once you have signed up, you are required to pay a monthly fee whether you are using their services or not. You may want to switch to another UK web hosting company if you are not satisfied with the host you that you have chosen, but switching to another host can be time-consuming and costly. Be extra careful when signing up with any host. Host Links: Xilo.net, Hostway.co.uk, CIHost.com, Superbhosting & Fast2Host.com |

Web Hosting NewsTucows To Acquire Netidentity2006-06-15 Large portfolio of surname-based domains expected to personalize web services offered to over 6,000 Internet service providers TORONTO, CANADA (June 15, 2006) - Tucows Inc. (AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Mailbank.com Inc. (doing business as NetIdentity), a privately held, profitable business owning and managing a domain name portfolio that Tucows believes is one of the Internet's largest collections of surname addresses. Consideration for the transaction will be approximately US$18 million payable in cash, promissory notes and the issue of approximately 3,603,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of NetIdentity. Tucows expects this acquisition to add between US$3 and $4 million in cash flow in 2007. Tucows now expects cash flow from operations in the range of US$7-8 million for 2006 and US$10-12 million for 2007. A podcast and an FAQ concerning this announcement can be found here: http://resellers.tucows.com/about/investor/netidentity This acquisition will allow Tucows to offer personalized Internet services through its channel of over 6,000 Internet access and hosting providers. The portfolio includes thousands of the most common surnames (such as smith.net) and will be used to enhance Tucows' email, web publishing and domain services. For example, Tucows' channel partners will be able to offer their customers personalized email addresses such as allie@schiffler.com or blog and web addresses like www.dirk.landstrom.com. "Our philosophy is to acquire companies that can benefit from our operational expertise and efficiencies and there is a very natural fit between NetIdentity and Tucows' retail business," said Elliot Noss, President and CEO, Tucows Inc. "However, this gives our wholesale offerings, especially our hosted email service, something unique in the marketplace. It took over ten years for NetIdentity to build this incredible portfolio of surnames. With this acquisition, we will provide our channel with the ability to personalize the services they offer in ways they will not find anywhere else." Based on Tucows' preliminary allocation of the purchase price, Tucows expects the acquisition to have a negative impact on GAAP earnings per share until 2008 but to be accretive to earnings before depreciation and amortization in 2006 and 2007. More detailed financial comments can be found in the podcast. The acquisition is expected to close on, or about June 16, 2006 subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the American Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Following closing, Tucows will immediately transition all of NetIdentity's operations from Boulder, Colorado to its headquarters in Toronto, Canada. About Tucows Tucows Inc.
