AffordableHOST, Inc., a leading web host company with over 16,000 clients worldwide, announced today that it is extending a warm welcome to its newly added hosting clients.

The company has recently purchased seven premier hosting firms, adding over 5,000 clients.

“It can be a scary thing for customers to hear that the company they depend on for their hosting, and maybe even their livelihood, has been purchased,” said Tina Peters, President of Affordable Host, Inc. (www.affordablehost.com).The company has taken steps to ensure all new clients are satisfied with their new host. “We want to give them an incentive to stick around long enough to find out what our long-term customers already know about us,” said Peters. “Several of our new customers have upgraded to their own private servers with us. That definitely says quite a bit about their confidence in our service.”

AffordableHOST offers award winning hosting and support. In March 2003, the company received the prestigious Editors Choice Award from the Webhost Magazine and Buyers Guide. In addition to shared hosting, AffordableHOST offers its client a wide array of hosting related services, including domain name registration, reseller hosting, dedicated servers, and web design. The Michigan based company, founded in 1997, has always valued the importance of outstanding customer support. The company has a toll free number for clients to get in touch via phone, an IRC chatroom staffed around the clock, an interactive helpdesk system, and more. AffordableHOST also staffs a live chat center on their website roughly 18 hours a day.

The company’s latest acquisitions include LavaHost.com, GoldenWebHost.com, Seraphex.com, AxisHost.com, HometownHosting.com, WebPlus-Online, and AbleInternet.com.

“We are currently looking to expand our customer base by continuing to acquire smaller hosts. We excel in our business because our support caters to all our hosting customers,” said Peters. “We know how to make sure the acquired customers feel safe, secure and happy with us.”
