Orland Park, Il – HostReview.com (http://www.hostreview.com/), a leading web hosting resource and a part of the DevStart network, published an exclusive interview with Champ Mitchell, Chairman and CEO of Network Solutions, the pioneering domain name registrar and a leading web services provider.

The interview is an expression of HostRevew’s continued commitment to provide visitors with the latest information and valuable insight about the web hosting and domain name industries. The site also offers news and article sections, as well as listings of the best web hosting providers.

“We value the opportunity to discuss the past, present, and future of Network Solutions with Mr. Mitchell,” said Darren Tabor, CEO of DevStart, Inc. “Network Solutions has grown dramatically since he took the helm in 2001 and this interview provides a fascinating glimpse into this process.”

Network Solutions (http://www.networksolutions.com/) is a leading provider of online products and services for small businesses. The recent purchase of the company by the global private equity firm General Atlantic raised many questions about its future development, goals and the changes it will inevitably undergo under the new ownership.

“General Atlantic wants to see us continue to grow our business by enhancing and expanding our product set, continuing to provide our customers with an outstanding customer experience and acquiring new customers through new channels of distribution,” said Mr. Mitchell. “They also have a willingness to fund acquisitions to help grow our company and expand our products and services.“

Network Solutions was established in 1979 as a technology consulting company. In 1993 it was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop the technology for the Internet's domain name registration service and became the first and only domain name registrar until 1999 when the industry was opened for competition. When Mr. Mitchell joined Network Solutions in 2001, the company was losing market share. Now it has turned from a domain name company to the leading provider of web services to small businesses.

„Today, our focus remains on small to medium sized businesses and our current top-line growth rate is 30 percent. It is the combination of product excellence and breadth of our offering along with superior customer service that is totally free and available 24/7 that now makes us the best one-stop-shop for a small business“, added Mr. Mitchell.
