October 30, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – HostDime (http://www.hostdime.com) announced today it has launched HostDime United Kingdom (http://www.hostdime.co.uk), a new wholly owned subsidiary offering shard hosting, reseller hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), and dedicated servers. Today’s launch is the company’s fifth international division.
The new United Kingdom division allows HostDime to better serve clients in the United Kingdom and Western Europe through country-specialized customer relations procedures and servers in geographically strategic locations. Namely, by locating servers and network equipment in the Untied Kingdom, HostDime reduces average network latency, as compared to the United States, by more than 100ms – a huge improvement in speed for high-demand Web applications. The servers for HostDime UK will be colocated in the Blue Square Data Centre in Berkshire, England.
As with all previous international expansions, HostDime will offer customer relations services specialized for the local country. Payments will be accepted in British Pounds and customer service will be offered in English. Telephone support will also be available within the +44 county code.
“As we explored the market in the United Kingdom, we realized that prices are substantially higher than in similar markets in other parts of the world. The inflated prices are a result of substantially greater labor, electric, and operating costs for businesses within the Untied Kingdom,” explained Emmanuel Vivar, HostDime CEO. “As a United States-based company, we are able to leverage a favorable business climate and our existing infrastructure of more than 100 employees to robustly compete in the United Kingdom hosting marketplace. Our existing operations effectively scale to serve this new subsidiary.”
HostDime UK marks the company’s latest international expansion, with existing international offices in Guadalajara, Mexico (HostDime Mexico), Haifa, Isreal (HostDime Israel), Joao Pessoa, Brazil (HostDime Brazil), and Ibague, Colombia (HostDime Colombia). Its headquarters are in Orlando, Florida, United States.
HostDime is a privately owned, leading website hosting provider offering managed hosting services that range of reliable, secure, entry-level to enterprise-level web hosting operations. Presently ranked among the top 50 hosts in the world with more than 3,000 servers, and hosting over 500,000 domains, HostDime maintains its private data facility in Orlando, Florida, United States.
