myhosting.com® top hoster of Microsoft® Windows® 2003 web sites

Toronto, Ontario --- July 16, 2003

myhosting.com, a leading global provider of affordable and superior web and application hosting services and a brand of SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc., has been selected by Net Craft as the top hoster of Windows 2003 web sites. NetCraft, a leading authority of research data and analysis for the Internet, conducted indepth research on the hosting industry noting that approximately 5 per cent of all new Windows Servers 2003 customers are migrations from the Linux platforms.

“This new operating platform appeals to a much broader spectrum of hosting customers, from the serious Microsoft developer who demands the latest technology, to the less technical SOHO user who requires a simpler but robust solution,” said Tony Yustein, CEO of SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc. “This release of the operating system makes it possible for us to satisfy all of the increasingly complex needs of new and existing customers, while providing us with the benefit of lowering our overall cost structure.”

For hosting companies one of the key benefits of Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 operating system is the Microsoft Web Server technology, IIS 6.0 (Internet Information Server). IIS 6.0 has been significantly improved to include many new features for the Web application server role of Windows Server 2003.

“By delivering the most advanced technology available, myhosting.com is offering its customers a reliable solution that allows them to realize an edge over the competition,” said David Willis, Director, Small and Mid-Market Solutions & Partners, Microsoft Canada Co. “This recognition from NetCraft is a testament to myhosting.com’s leadership in the market and we look forward to continuing to work with them in delivering a quality web hosting experience.”

Since myhosting.com began offering the Microsoft WindowsServer 2003 to all new customers in April, the response has been extremely positive. By the end of August 2003, all 40,000 existing myhosting.com customers will be migrated from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003.

As recently as April, 2003, Netcraft also reported myhosting.com to be the world’s largest Microsoft exclusive web and application hosting provider.
