Data center operator Online Tech (www.onlinetech.com) announced on Tuesday it has sold its shared web hosting business to IGD Solutions (www.igdsolutions.com), a full service website design, development, and hosting provider for small and mid-sized businesses.
The announcement follows the recent launch of Online Tech's OTVault, a new online data storage solution designed for secure, high volume online backup and archiving for businesses.
Online Tech says it decided to sell its 15 year old hosting business to focus on its colocation and managed server business, which the company is currently expanding.
The past five years has seen a significant shift in Online Tech's business, moving from its previous focus on shared hosting and email hosting to managing multi-server environments for IT departments, web hosts, and software as a service companies.
The company says this rapid growth has led the company to become "Michigan's largest managed data center operator."
Despite this growth, the company says its shared hosting business represented only a small portion of its total revenue.
"We've come to the point where we feel that our website and email hosting clients can be best served by a partner that focuses specifically on those services," says Mike Klein, president of Online Tech. "We don't want to be competing with our rapidly growing customer base of web hosting companies."
IGD Solutions discovered that its technology infrastructure provider, Online Tech, shared the same customer-centric values in its business approach.
As a result, IGD Solutions found the high availability managed server partner it was seeking while Online Tech found a partner to service its shared hosting customers and take over the website business.
Online Tech's former web hosting customers will gain access to additional services from IGD Solutions, including website application design, development and search engine optimization.
Meanwhile, IGD Solutions' customers will gain the reliability and uptime associated with having IGD Solutions' managed servers at Online Tech's SAS 70 Tier 3 data center.
