Web Log Analysis

How many visitors to your site experience an incorrect or invalid URL? Perhaps you have links on your website to a page that no longer exists. Reviewing the number of "page not found" listings in your web logs will help discern if you have any pages that are not accessible to your visitors.

In terms of marketing it is also important in the eyes of Google and other search engines. One of the many factors for knowing whether they should rank you in a country specific search engine such as Google.co.uk or Google.com is dependent on your IP’s location as well as your domain name ending. By using a host in the country your site is serving you are sending one more indication to Google of where you should be ranked.

Hi,

The End of a Year - December 2007 Hosting M&A

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:55:00 -0400

Some M&A info from the NCC files for December 2007 - Not all inclusive but interesting...

Madrid, Spain - Private equity firms The Carlyle Group and Mercapital acquired Spanish Web hosting and domain registrar Arsys (arsys.net) for about $230 million. 550,000 domains registered, 170,000 customers and 250 employees.

San Francisco, CA - Digital Realty Trust acquired two European data centers; Cressex 1 in London, England 51,000 sq/ft and Naritaweg 52 in Amsterdam, Netherlands - 63,000 sq/ft.

San Mateo, CA - Garnett & Helfrich Capital purchased MTI Europe in a court-supervised auction. MTI offers the managed services, data storage, protection and collocation services.

Montreal, Canada - HostingDiscussion.com acquired and merged with HostingRefuge.com and TalkWebHosts.com

Macomb, IL - McDonough Telephone Cooperative (MDTC) acquiring Infobahn Outfitters a web hosting and web design company.

Suwanee, GA — Quality Technology Services, a provider of data center and managed services, acquired the customer base of First National Technology Solutions in Kansas City. QualityTech will boost its annual revenues over $100 million with the deal.

Lancashire UK - Red Fox Hosting acquired AGUK Hosting, managed and exchange hosting services

Herndon, VA - SWsoft acquired WebHost Automation Ltd. (Bristol, U.K.) maker of the Helm control panel and billing software for Windows - 1.5 million worldwide end users.

London, UK - UK-2 Group, Ltd acquired Dan Ushman’s Chicago based midPhase Services Inc.’s shared and VPS businesses. Dan keeps his fingers in the pie as he works his way up the food chain - why? UK-2 will collocate the acquired assets at SingleHop, Inc, a company owned and operated by Zak Boca and Dan Ushman. (High 5 on that one!)

My favorite acquisition of the month:
Chatswood NSW Australia - Broadcast Australia entered into an agreement to acquire Hostworks Group Limited a full service dedicated/managed colo company in a $68.9 million transaction. Each firm’s competencies complement each other – actually/really – synergistic - Check out the links to see what I mean. This is a great marriage – also the deal is a 37% premium to the latest closing price of Hostworks shares.

The UK and its past and related domains were busy in December.
