Vortech Acquires RocketColo

`We are hoping that by purchasing the assets of RocketColo, we will be able to grow our network and increase our customer base,` said Vortech Inc. owner Brad Pugh. This remark was made after Vortech Inc., a web hosting provider currently hosting more than 120,000 domain names, acquired Florida-based RocketColo, a co-location server provider. All RocketColo assets were included in the acquisition, and because both companies are located within the same vicinity geographically, transition is expected to move forward without difficulty.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Pugh says payment was made up front for the company, and he plans to immediately make beneficial changes for the company`s customers. `All clients of RocketColo will enjoy additional connectivity at no additional charge, as we are including them in our network,` said Pugh. Connectivity to Progress Telcom, AT&T, Level(3), Sprint, and Cogent has been added.

In addition, customers of RocketColo will be offered an upgrade to 1000 GB of monthly bandwidth at no additional charge. No downtime is expected during the transition. Vortech currently operates a cluster of 9 mail servers, 40 Windows servers, 20 FreeBSD Systems, 5 MySql, 8 MSsql servers.
