ATLANTA, December 29, 2003 - NationalNet, Inc., a leading provider of Web Hosting services to the Adult Internet, today announced the acquisition of Mach10 Hosting of Austin, Texas. The terms of the sale were not disclosed.

"Mach10 Hosting is a well known company among the Adult webmasters and has always been a customer-focused, high-end web host…one that we felt would compliment the NationalNet culture", said Bill VanVorst, Executive Vice President for NationalNet. “Sean Hicks has spent the past five years providing clients top-notch hosting and NationalNet just wants to continue what he has started”.

"NationalNet is the logical choice for my customers because they can provide the superior level of customer service that people have come to expect from my staff", said Sean Hicks, President of Mach10 Hosting, Inc. "While enhancing customer support, this merger also provides to my customers redundant network connectivity, and a portfolio of diverse support services unparalleled in the web hosting industry.”

This acquisition is the final of several in 2003 as NationalNet continues to expand its presence in the market. The company is actively seeking all sizes and types of web hosting companies to partner with in the coming year. "In my opinion, the 2004 year will see more consolidation in our industry than in any year past", said Tony Morgan, President of NationalNet, "and we want to be poised to aggressively take advantage of these opportunities as they arise."

I compared their generous offer with the thought of supporting these idiot users for the *next* five years, and signed the papers before they could change their minds! :)

LOL! GMTA! Great banner, Tony! :rokk:

Toolz - If my hangover is gone by then I just might.

Congrats T - You could not have bought a better company and group of customers. They will be missed. I can't say the same for those 3am pages!

Sean

Congrads on the purchase.. I really like the banner..

T, congrats!

New motto: "NationalNet wants to be your next hosting company - and we will buy your old hosting company if that is what it takes!"

;-)

Alex

congrats sweet t & sean... cant say it doesnt make me a little bit sad as a long time mach10 customer.. but i'm sure tony will take care of me and my 500terrabytes a month ;-))

For some reason Tony seems like George Jefferson to me.. not sure why : )

:wnw:

BigS had to sell because he stopped advertising on Oprano...
SweetT bought him out because he sponsored NatNet pickem....

make notice, boys and gals
;_)))

MikeFold, GrimShawn, MikeAI, Toolz, Bishop, RawAlex, Hooper, Billy, Serge, GregTX.....

Thanks for the well wishes, my friends. It really makes us proud that you think we are doing something right. You guys are not easily impressed so it makes it even more fullfilling.

Here is to a wonderful 2004 for each and every one of you!


--T

Tony, yes, you DO impress me,
this is the third time!

first was when you were sitting on the back of my couch in the brand new house in Florida and it din't break,
second time was wehn you said "No, thanks, Serge, but I don't want a partner" 3 minutes after you tried to break my couch
and today was the third time,
you PacMan you!
;-))))

{wiping tear}

Aw, Serge....I am touched. Thanks, :)

Congrats to Natnet and Sweet T,

A good buy there!

Nice score T....Natnet continues to impress.

So are all those servers taking a plane ride from Austin to Atlanta or will NatNet be spreading out a bit?

Nice move T, Congrats!!

Tony, I love the banner. We of course have been with nat net for a very long time. Personally I am in favor of profit sharing for the older customers. Let me know if you like the idea and I will shoot you over a proposal;-)

Dam, this thread even brought Zimm out of hiding!

Awesome news Tony! Congrats to the NatNet team! :)

Yea they sure did and all Mach10 customers only received notice the day before servers were going down. I think they should have at least gave us options or some type of notice instead of writing an email 24 hours prior to flying our servers to Atlanta.

I guess now we’ll see how good NatNet really is and how long my sites will be down or how many set-up problems I’ll end up having.

Happy New Year.

Dianna

Dianna,

I talked to Sean a couple hours before the notice was sent out.
He never mentioned it to me either and I was with Mach10 for
5+yrs .... I was their 2nd customer !

Sean would never hide anything from his customers, there is such
a thing as agreements and disclosure. I don't feel upset Sean didn't
tell me and neither should you ...... business is business.

(IMHO) Mach10 was the best of the best and so is Natnet.

I'm sure Tony, Vooman and crew will do an excellent job making
a smooth and painless move for all of us.

While I'm sure Voodooman would be willing to pitch in and help, it's Vooman who works for NatNet. :awinky:

I agree that business is business and Mach10's team was truly wonderful. I look forward to 24/7 support. My main bitch is that they could have told us and gave us some more notice.

Like I said, let's see how fast and effective the company is. That's what will keep my business.

hahahahaha

sorry Peaches my bad

..... old age and all :blink:

NatNet and Mach10 can both blow me.

What an unprofessional way to deal with an important move.

We are currently down and have been for many hours!

Congratulation to Mach10 on screwing us, and to NatNet for loosing a moderatly big customer

You can both go fuck yourselves, what a bunch of fucking clown!

I cant believe such disrespect from you Sean.
I hope you'll have the decency to call me back...
