📅 September 1, 2004 - WebHostingWholesale.com (webhostingwholesale.com -> hostinger.com) confirmed late last week that legal representatives for the Costo Wholesale Group has been pushing the company to give up its ownership of the domain name costcohosting.com.

Acording to WebHostingWholesale, Costco has continued to push its case since the March email. WebHostingWholesale claims its ownership of the domain costcohosting.com is not the same as "Costco." The company says it has legitimate and legal rights to ownership of the domain and further adds that Costco was not even involved in the Web hosting and Internet services industries when it began making its claims.
At the moment, WebHostingWholesale does not have any plans to sell the domain.
Costco recently began offering Web hosting services to its executive members, at prices of $14.95 and $17.95 per month.
