📅 July 28, 2010 - To further expand its internal support of Drupal by offering comprehensive Drupal development and support.

Hosting Metro, Inc., a hosting provider, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Drupal Value Hosting, a Drupal web host company. The company explains that with the agreement in place, it will migrate existing services and marketing to its own operations. In doing so, it will be able to offer expanded customer support through a dedicated 24/7 support line, as well as additional hosting features previously unavailable to Drupal Value Hosting customers including VPS, Dedicated Servers and shared web hosting.

It states that existing Drupal Value Hosting customers will receive one month of free hosting as a courtesy while the transition takes place.

The company adds that Amit Ghupta, former CEO of Drupal Value Hosting has agreed to stay on with the new company and will continue to provide development and consultation services dedicated to the Drupal community.

Tony Chu, CEO of Hosting Metro stated, "By acquiring Drupal Value Hosting, we've looked to increase our support of Drupal and its development community by integrating the knowledge-base of Drupal Value Hosting's existing development team into our already reliable infrastructure and application network. As a hosting company who specializes in application support, this is something that our customers have been asking for and with only 1% of the web running on Drupal there is a still a lot of room for growth."

"Hosting Metro is a great company, and I am very confident that they will exceed the needs of their customers by delivering outstanding support. I have been especially impressed with their solid infrastructure and their ability to deliver the most reliable uptime in the industry," said Amit Ghupta.
