Leading web hosting provider Globat has acquired the assets of Newista, a California-based web hosting company. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"Newista has been very successful in the hosting industry since 2003 and is known for intensely focusing on personalized customer service. Customer experience has also always been Globat's #1 priority," said Globat's CEO Ben R. Neumann. "It was a natural fit. The combined strengths of both companies will allow us to offer an even wider range of web hosting choices along with nearly unprecedented customer care."

The acquisition enables Globat.com to begin offering multiple Web hosting platforms, including the popular cPanel(TM) and Plesk(TM) to its customers. It also strengthens the company's stronghold in the industry, and its growing visibility among more experienced Web hosting consumers.

George Hubert, President of Newista.com, states, "We're extremely excited to become part of the Globat.com family. We're proud of our offerings and have long had a strong footing in the industry. Together with the reach and resources of Globat.com, we're going to get even stronger."
