Bethel, CT and Herndon, VA — February 8, 2005 - Today, SWsoft, the established leader in hosting automation and server virtualization software, announced that Web.com, an ICANN-accredited registrar and Web hosting company, has purchased and begun migration to SWsoft's PEM data center automation platform. Web.com will maximize the capabilities of PEM to offer a full range of integrated services including: shared hosting for Linux/Unix and Windows, VPS hosting, game server hosting, Microsoft Exchange hosting, and more.

"We made the move to SWsoft's PEM to align our infrastructure with our plans of integrating and centralizing our entire domain registration, Web and application hosting offerings," said Will Pemble, CEO, Web.com.  "We have evaluated several solutions and adopted some, but those solutions came up short when it came to meeting our diverse needs.  From domain registration to Web hosting to email hosting, DNS management, website promotion and more, SWsoft has created the most comprehensive integrated package of services available."

"Web.com is a leading company that has exceptional growth opportunities for a number of hosting and application options PEM can provide," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO and president, SWsoft.  "PEM is a complete platform constantly evolving and flexible enough to meet the needs of each customer implementation.  PEM can be geared to fit the needs of virtually any provider and any hosted service deployed."
