Australian web developers, hosting resellers and website owners can now take advantage of rock-solid web hosting services from one of the world's leading hosting specialists, Rochen.

Rochen Limited, founded in early 2000, currently provides premium web hosting and reseller hosting solutions to clients in over forty-two countries worldwide. The company has now launched a dedicated website with a range of services specifically targeted at Australian webmasters following months of research into the hosting needs of the local market.

Head of Rochen Australia, Brad Baker, who is based in Byron Bay, said the launch is driven by a void currently present in the Australian hosting market which Rochen believes it can fill with its quality of service and value for money offerings. "Rochen already has a substantial customer base in Australia, so the launch of Rochen Australia seemed a logical step for us," he said.

Rochen's range of Reseller Hosting plans will be featured in the May edition of Australian Personal Computer (APC), the largest computing magazine in Australia, which goes on sale on 14 April, 2006.

Christopher Adams, Rochen's Chief Executive Officer, believes Australian users will quickly adopt Rochen due to "its flexible, powerful and extensible" offer of premium web hosting services.

"Rochen has a long standing relationship with Australian users and now we will be offering fully-mature services with Australian representatives on the ground," Adams said. "As a hosting provider with over half a decade of experience and who is respected by our peers throughout the industry for our premium levels of customer support we feel our team will bring a lot of new and exciting services to Australian webmasters."

"From the very beginning, Rochen's philosophy has been service focused," he said. "We have built on this with our highly-dedicated support team. If a customer experiences a problem, we know a quick response is paramount to them."
