Effective November 1, 2009 Light Speed Technologies will be merging two of our popular brands Hostdeal and dotAmerica. Moving forward, customers of both brands will be managed under the Hostdeal.com moniker.

Why Hostdeal? We have chosen to maintain the Hostdeal brand as Light Speed’s primary US and International brand for many reasons, including our appreciation of the short and accurate domain name. As the merger included transitioning clients, we considered the problem of client/account disruption – and migrating dotAmerica customers to the Hostdeal architecture is that solution.

This merger is consistent with Light Speed’s goal to consolidate brands. Through acquisitions, Light Speed’s hosting division had grown to encompass as many as 15 brands. We have reduced our brands to 5 active hosting brands and our end-goal of 3 active hosting brands is approaching.

Let me close by saying “We appreciate your business. We understand that you have hundreds of choices in web hosting and we’re thankful that you have partnered with us.”

Regards,

Mike Fillator, General Manager, Light Speed Technologies
