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."

Translation:
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!

Congrats SweetT!

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!

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?

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!

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,

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.

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.

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...

I had a server stashed at mach 10.... honestly, I'm pretty happy it's going to Nat Net. Tony doesn't fuck around at all when it comes to service. I'll sleep alot better in the nights to come with it being in his hands. Congrats!

I never had a problem with mach10. Sean and Terry have always gone above and beyond the call of duty for me. I can honestly say i will miss doing biz with them.

I also am happy that National-Net is the company that bought them. I know Tony has always been about service.

This downtime is killing me though.
I have been told by just about all of my mainstream customers (I host my mainstream design clients) that I will be losing their business. I, of course, am trying to do anything and everything that I an right now to prevent that. They are VERY upset that I gave less than 24 hours notice of downtime.

One of my larger clients produces and sells sports suppliments. Today, the Bush admin banned Ephedra, which is contained in one of their best selling products. They have doubled the prices and are getting phone orders for 100-200 bottles at a time. They are VERY upset they are losing out on all internet and email sales. This is EASILY costing them THOUSAND's of dollars... and in turn - has caused me to lose their business.

Sharky and Hooper,

I hear you guys loud and clear and totally understand where you are coming from. Based on our past relationship I hope that even as mad as you are, you know that Terry and the NatNet engineers are doing everything they can to get things up and running as soon as possible. I think we can all agree a move of this size is not an easy task and no matter how much planning our engineering teams did, there are bound to be a few problems. Please be patient and rest assured that you will be taken care of as you always have in the past.

DrGuile,

I understand you frustration on a personal level but because of the structure of the deal between NatNet and Mach10, I was not at liberty to discuss the details prior to the move. I can assure you that you were on the "list" and Tony made several attempts to contact you guys.

It has always been Mach10's approach that if you are not happy you need to go where you will be. I know that is the same approach Tony and NatNet take. It would be a shame to let a miscommunication ruin 4 years of a great business and personal relationship.

Sean

still down... i know personally ive lost 500 bucks min since midnight lastnight.. and thats just with one sponsor.. that small money compared to these big site/program owners that are currently STILL down... i can say personally, i have over 10 servers that ive had to move personally, on the fly.. and it took me around 2hrs and that was including travel time.. so 12hrs and counting now for an entire crew of tech people with 200 servers is actually pretty bad.. I just hope you guys overcome the problem asap, and shell out some of that cash to the guys who were hit the hardest.. ie, drg, hoop, and everyone else who has been silent but down.

Ouch.
Sean, I understand not being able to disclose the details, but between the two of you (you and Tony); you surely could have given the clients more than 24hrs notice. What's the harm of waiting an extra 24hrs (48hrs total) if it's going to keep the customers happy and give them an opportunity to email *their* clients or quickly switch DNS to a backup server so things wouldn't appear to be down?

For you guys that are down right now, hope they get it fixed quickly.

DrGuile,

I understand you frustration on a personal level but because of the structure of the deal between NatNet and Mach10, I was not at liberty to discuss the details prior to the move. I can assure you that you were on the "list" and Tony made several attempts to contact you guys.

It has always been Mach10's approach that if you are not happy you need to go where you will be. I know that is the same approach Tony and NatNet take. It would be a shame to let a miscommunication ruin 4 years of a great business and personal relationship.

Sean
That's beyond BS

This is a deal YOU made. You knew very well what a move to Atlanta, to a new company with only 12 hours notice, with a minimum of 6-12 hours of downtime would do to a company like us.

But you accepted this deal. You took the money and screwed us over.



Its a hard one to swallow for me, coming from you, but fuck me, lesson learned.




...also, im still waiting on any kind of contact from you to talk this over but eh...

I can vouch for Dirty J's comment personally.

Big-S: "I understand you frustration on a personal level but because of the structure of the deal between NatNet and Mach10, I was not at liberty to discuss the details prior to the move."

Sorry bro, but that is bullshit! Who's going to compensate for lost revenue? Who's going to compensate my webmasters? Contrary to what we have been told, we NEVER received any notification on this. Others have reported the same. Beyond pissed.
