The financial details of the cash and stock transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 1998 and based in Austin, Texas, Website Source and its subsidiary SpeedFox, which was founded in 2002, offer Linux-based shared hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated servers, e-commerce and domain registration services. Website Source operates a Cisco-powered data center facility in Austin and manages over 200 servers, says the press release.
Alentus says that the acquisition immediately adds $2.6 million in annual revenue to its current long-term profitable operations record and will add an additional 14,000 clients to its client portfolio. The current Website Source infrastructure is being integrated into the Alentus global, redundant Cisco-powered network and all Texas staff has been retained, says Alentus.
"This acquisition provides a stable and solid addition of Linux powered Web hosting to the Alentus client base," says William King, CEO of Alentus. "And at the same time, it offers Windows hosting options to Website Source and SpeedFox clients. We are pleased with how the companies complement one another and look forward to growing our client base by offering a more complete menu of website hosting services to the Internet community."
As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner that focuses on premium Windows based hosting services, Alentus provides dedicated services to thousands of customers including Fortune 500 firms and offers a range of hosting services to enterprise services such as managed converged voice, unified messaging, WAN connectivity, colocation and dedicated Internet connectivity solutions.
