PHOENIX & BURLINGTON, Mass.----IPOWER and Endurance International today announced the completion
of their merger. The deal, which closed on May 4, brings together more
than 600,000 Web sites to create the third-largest shared hosting
company in the United States.
Both companies will continue to operate as unique entities, while
collaborating to capitalize on their strengths to deliver outstanding
hosting, Web site services and support.
“While IPOWER and Endurance have each been
successful on their own, it has been clear to both companies that
continued success requires more scale and resources than either company
could have alone,” explains Thomas Gorny,
chief executive officer of IPOWER. “The
ability of the merged companies to grow simultaneously through organic
customer adds and acquisitions, along with new product offerings to our
combined customer base, will make for an incredible force in the
industry.”
The combination of IPOWER’s marketing prowess,
Endurance’s operational expertise and the
powerful backend capabilities of the combined organization positions the
new organization to support its tremendous customer base with
exceptional hosting and inventive new products and services.
“IPOWER and Endurance are both known for
innovation,” said Steve Sydness, chief
executive officer of Endurance International. “Together,
we can lead the industry with best-in-class products and technologies
that enable us to respond quickly to our dynamic industry—and
address our customers’ growing expectations.”
