Hosting Metro Acquires Bizwala Hosting

The move expands the company's customer support through a dedicated 24-hour support line.

Hosting Metro, a hosting provider, today announced that it has acquired Bizwala Hosting, a hosting provider. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed by the company.

It mentions that this is the company's second acquisition in two months. The company bought Win Web Hosting in August. With the acquisition of Bizwala, the company will move its existing services and marketing to its own operations.

The company states that the move expands its customer support through a dedicated 24-hour support line, as well as additional hosting features previously unavailable to Bizwala Hosting customers including expanded VPS options, dedicated servers and shared hosting. As part of the transition, the company is also expanding its colocation capabilities by expanding its Western US operations and giving its customers the ability to colocate in Dallas or Las Vegas. Jon Remund, former CEO of Bizwala Hosting, will stay on with the new company and will continue to provide development and design services dedicated to the Hosting Metro community.

"By acquiring Bizwala Hosting, we looked to increase our hosting options on the west coast and improve our dedicated server management capabilities by integrating the knowledge of Bizwala's support team and technology into our already reliable infrastructure," said Tony Chu, CEO of Hosting Metro. "As a hosting company who specializes in business-class web hosting and support, these added capabilities are something that our customers have been asking for. We want to give our customers every edge to compete in today's market and with Bizwala onboard we believe that we have done just that."
