Plans to sell the site to an organization who can continue to operate it as a service to the hosting industry.
Geek Certified, a web hosting company, today announced that it is for sale.
The site's current owner, Minneapolis-based DWC Network, said that
the site has not charged user fee for the past several years and
therefore the company cannot afford to continue to operate it without
improvements. It hopes to sell the site to an organization who can
continue to operate it as a service to the hosting industry. An
official for-sale thread regarding the site has been posted at
WebHostingTalk.com and DNForum.com. Interested parties should contact
the company's public relations contact, Press Advance, by phone at
612-501-1586 or via the contact form on their web site.
"Geek Certified has offered the hosting industry an important
service for the past several years. By remaining objective and
unbiased, we were able to not only resolve disputes between hosts and
customers, but also provide prospective hosting buyers with an
important glimpse into the company they were considering doing business
with," said Dan Luria, Lead Developer of the Project. "We're hoping to
find a buyer who can continue to promote our three core values—honesty,
integrity, and trust."
