C I Host, a web hosting and data center service provider, today announced it has won Dallas 100 Entrepreneur award, presented by the SMU Cox School of Business Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship.

The Dallas 100 each year recognizes the fastest growing, most dynamic privately held companies in North Texas. The criteria taken into account to judge the companies include, contributions to the area by generating thousands of new jobs, increasing the tax base, and fostering Dallas area's reputation as a premier economic development center.

"It is a tremendous honor to be praised by one of the top business schools in the country. We made the list last year, but I think it is even more appreciated and humbling this year because of all the uncertainty in our economy right now," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host.
