Apr, 2002 : HotHomepages, Global Switch Announce Partnership

📅 April 19, 2002 - Web site self-publishing tools provider HotHomepages Inc. (hothomepages.com) announced on Friday that it has arranged a strategic partnership with carrier-neutral colocation company Global Switch (globalswitch.com) that will allow HotHomepages to expand its consumer-based self-publishing Web site building services into 12 countries over the next two years.

According to the agreement, HotHomepages will roll out new operations in a number of locations, supported by Global Switch's international facilities, during 2002 including, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Frankfurt and Paris. The company says that in 2003 it has scheduled rollouts for Madrid, South and Central America, Milan, Dublin and Singapore.
The companies, says HotHomepages, will also explore the establishment of regional offices to market affiliate, co-branded, private label and commercial portal product lines.
?The combination of Global Switch's vast international coverage, experience, and reliable integrated managed services affords our company more time to conduct our primary business and focus on growth. Perhaps equally important is that newly acquired clients in these countries are already familiar and maintain confidence in Global Switch's expert technical support services required to manage long-term customer needs. This is simply a sound strategy for building business internationally and we could not have partnered with anyone better," says William Mobley, president and CEO of HotHomepages.
Global Switch says it is pleased to be working with HotHomepages. The company believes HotHomepages? product lines will amount to an attractive offering for customers seeking Web site design, as well as a number of international ISPs, dot-coms and domain name registrars who will resell privately branded versions of the offering.
