			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font class="option" color="#363636"><strong><a href="http://thehostingnews.com/hostingnews.html"></a></strong></font><font class="content">Ft. Lauderdale, Florida        &#8211; [<a href="http://www.hostingheadlines.com/" target="_blank">Hosting Headlines</a>] &#8211; Web hosting company specializing in small and medium business support, Hostopia, has reported a 42% increase in its operating income with record third quarter revenue, for the third quarter ending December 31, 2007.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Colin Campbell, CEO of Hostopia remarked, &#8221;We are pleased with our continued sequential revenue growth and the demonstrated earnings leverage our increased revenues bring. The Company showed strong revenue growth driven by the record 28,000 end user accounts we migrated onto our platform in the previous quarter and the net addition of a further 8,000 end users this quarter. The large end user increase year to date, combined with our backlog of website and email migrations, should result in a further improvement in our operating results over the remainder of the year.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Highlights include: &#8211; Q3 revenue increased 29.8% year over year; 7.1% sequentially from Q2 &#8211; 31st consecutive quarter of increasing revenue &#8211; 17th consecutive quarter of positive operating income &#8211; Announced the launch of new Nexthaus mobile data synchronization applications &#8211; Closed 9 new customer contracts for web services, templates and mobile sync services &#8211; Added 8,000 end users.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Financial Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2008 Revenues increased 29.8% to $7.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to the same period last year. This was the 31st consecutive quarter of higher revenues. Sequential revenue growth of 7.1% in the third quarter was primarily due to the migration of 28,000 end users onto the Hostopia platform in the previous quarter as well as the net addition of 8,000 end users this quarter. Two website template license contracts also contributed to the sequential revenue growth. Gross profit of $6.3 million increased by $1.4 million compared to last year. Income before interest and income taxes was $643,000 up $189,000, compared to the third quarter of last year.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">This 42% increase in income before interest and income taxes was tempered by the $1.2 million increase in operating expenses resulting primarily from: (1) personnel costs associated with two new start-up units within Hostopia: Website Experts (website creation services) and the Nexthaus mobile syncing service, (2) higher amortization expenses related to the acquisition of licensed technology and Nexthaus&#8217; intellectual property, (3) increased operating costs and sales commissions related to the large end user migrations in the second quarter, and (4) the effect of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar on our Canadian dollar denominated expenses. Income before income taxes of $950,000 was $320,000 higher than the same period last year because of improved operating profitability as well as $131,000 higher net interest income.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">As revenues continue to grow over the remainder of the year, both from our existing and expanding customer base as well as our expanded product offerings, we expect our income before interest and taxes will continue to improve. Net income of $615,000 was $242,000 higher than the same quarter last year. Basic and diluted net income per common share were both $0.05 this quarter compared to $0.05 for basic and $0.04 for diluted net income per common share in the third quarter of last year. Net income per share was little changed as higher net income was offset by the increase in weighted average shares outstanding related to the Company&#8217;s public offering of 4.83 million shares in the third quarter of last year and the exercise of 516,000 stock options this year.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Mr. Campbell added, &#8221;Telecoms today are looking to expand into the high-growth web services industry. Hostopia is uniquely positioned to assist telecoms in this market with its comprehensive suite of value-add services that support small businesses who want to earn additional revenue using the Internet. New and planned additions to our suite of services include Website Experts, Mobile Sync and digital fax to e-mail. All of these services will support future revenue growth. In addition we are looking to accelerate our growth through acquisitions that fully meet our strict investment criteria. We are committed to creating value for our shareholders in the coming quarters through both internal and external investment.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Hostopia is a provider of web services that are designed to enable small and medium-sized businesses to establish and maintain an Internet presence. The company&#8217;s customers are communication services providers, including telecommunication carriers, cable companies, internet service providers, domain registrars, and web hosting service providers. Hostopia&#8217;s customers purchase its web services on a wholesale basis and resell these services under their own brands to small and medium-sized businesses. The company provides customers with the technology, infrastructure, and support services to enable them to offer web services, while saving research and development as well as capital and operating costs typically associated with the design, development, and delivery of web services.</font></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Quebec, Canada       &#8211; [Hosting Headlines] &#8211; Web hosting services company, iWeb, has released its financial results for the three-month period ending December 31, 2007. The Q1-2008 Summary indicates a revenue of $3.2 million, with a 62% increase in revenues compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font class="option" color="#363636"><strong><a href="http://thehostingnews.com/hostingnews.html"></a></strong></font><font class="content">Quebec, Canada       &#8211; [<a href="http://www.hostingheadlines.com/" target="_blank">Hosting Headlines</a>] &#8211; Web hosting services company, iWeb, has released its financial results for the three-month period ending December 31, 2007. The Q1-2008 Summary indicates a revenue of $3.2 million, with a 62% increase in revenues compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.</p>
<p>Marc Guindon, Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of iWeb noted, &#8221;Our steady growth in revenues and adjusted EBITDA continued in this quarter. We are currently working to keep that growth level, with the completion of phase three of our second data center of dedicated servers. In addition, with the addition of the coming installation of Nuns&#8217; Island, we will increase our revenue source in the co-location services. Proceeds received from the November public offering will help in financing a portion of the current work. We are currently in discussions in order to obtain additional financing to complete the necessary investments required to keep our growth level.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other highlights include: &#8211; Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $0.8 million, a 65% increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2007 &#8211; Closing of a 3.3 million of shares public offering with gross proceeds of $4.1 million &#8211; Beginning of installation work of the Nuns&#8217; Island premises for a new co-location data center.</p>
<p>The First Quarter of 2008 Financial Review indicates: For the first quarter of 2008, consolidated revenues increased $1.2 million or 62% to $3.2 million compared to the same quarter of last year. This revenue growth can be attributed primarily to a steady rise in dedicated server demand. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was in line with last year margin at 54%. The benefits of tight operating cost control were offset by the decrease in value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, having a negative effect on Company&#8217;s revenues in the last quarter. More than 70% of iWeb revenues are generated in U.S. currency. Total operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, were 53% of revenue, compared to 47% for the same three-month period of fiscal 2007.</p>
<p>This increase in expenses is attributable to a higher level of activities resulting from the Company&#8217;s organic growth, specifically resulting in higher overhead expenses. In addition, increase in stock-based compensation expense, resulting from a higher stock price in the last year, impacted the administration expenses in the last quarter. Financial expenses were also higher, in line with the additional financing facilities obtained in order to pay for the additions in iWeb infrastructures. Adjusted EBITDA increased 65% to $0.8 million, or 25% of revenues, in the last quarter, compared to $0.5 million, or 24% of revenues, for the three-month period ended in December of 2006. This is an increase of 65%. Net earnings were $18,026 or $0,0007 per share compared to $92,995 or $0.0040 per share one year-ago.</p>
<p>As discussed, net earnings for the last quarter were impacted by a stronger Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, by higher overhead costs in order to support the Company&#8217;s growing operations, and by a higher non-deductible share-based compensation expenses which have also a negative impact on the Company&#8217;s effective tax rate, increasing it to 42%, from 32% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.</p>
<p>Founded in 1996, iWeb offers a full line of advanced IP hosting services either through shared hosting, dedicated servers or co-location in three data centers, featuring over 52,000 square feet of floor space and the latest technological equipment. iWeb provides services in English, French and Spanish to clients in more than 130 countries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font class="option" color="#363636"><strong><a href="http://thehostingnews.com/hostingnews.html"></a></strong></font><font class="content">Newark, Delaware &#8211; [<a href="http://www.hostingheadlines.com/" target="_blank">Hosting Headlines</a>] &#8211; HostMySite.com web hosting provider for small and medium-sized businesses, has successfully completed an SAS 70 Type II audit, through the assistance of the Clifton Gunderson, LLP independent auditing firm.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70, commonly referred to as SAS 70, is an auditing statement developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SAS 70 is designed to allow auditors to review the controls established by service organizations. Independent auditors review the control objectives and activities to ensure the controls are valid and enforced.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">HostMySite.com completed the SAS 70 audit of its internal control environment. Clifton Gunderson audited the company&#8217;s processes and policies to ensure compliance and consistency with the documented controls. The audit consisted of onsite audit reviews and testing, plus detailed meetings with the HostMySite.com management team.</font></p>

As anyone who has gone through this auditing process knows, it takes the dedication and commitment of the entire organization to come through this process with the auditor&#8217;s statement of &#8221;No Exceptions Found.&#8221; This ensures our customers that the security policies, practices and high levels of quality in the services we offer are consistent and reliable. HostMySite.com has achieved this in the past year by increasing the internal auditing of our processes to ensure our consistency and reliability. As always our focus is on providing HostMySite.com customers with the finest level of products and services they can find in a web hosting provider.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font class="content">A control is a method used to ensure a policy or procedure established by a service organization is followed. Controls are in place at HostMySite.com to ensure that user organizations are protected. SAS 70 compliant controls are in place at HostMySite.com including: building access and security, datacenter access and security, data storage, customer information security and change procedures of hardware and software.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">There are two types of SAS 70 auditor reports, Type I and Type II:<br />
</font></p>
<ul> <font class="content"></p>
<li>Type I SAS 70 audits focus on the validity of the controls in operation at the service organization to ensure they complete the specified control objectives</li>
<li>Type II SAS 70 audits focus on the Type I controls that are in place as well as how they are executed over a specific period of time.</li>
<p></font></ul>
<p><font class="content">Recently, HostMySite expanded into its new Worldwide Corporate Headquarters in Newark, Delaware, adjacent to the company&#8217;s previous workspace, housing both employee offices and one of the company&#8217;s data centers. A further portion of the former headquarters building will be converted into data center space, occupying over eight thousand square feet.</font></p>

<p><font class="content">Pete Harris, Conference Chair and President, A-Team Group noted, &#8221;SaaS is a slam dunk for Wall Street, so long as it can deliver the five nines reliability, scalability and security that is required.
