This week, Hostopia Australia, a subsidiary of US-based services provider Deluxe Corporation announced the acquisition of Melbourne-based web hosting provider Panthur. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Panthur was established in 2009 and offers domain names, web hosting and security services for websites. After the acquisition, Remone Tawadros will be appointed as the new General Manager of Panthur with Adam Seliman stepping down from the position.
Tawadros said:
We’ll certainly be keeping all sites hosted locally in Australia, and at this point don’t have any plans to move member sites onto new hardware, although we do hope to add upgraded hardware in the future and expand on our product offering and performance.
He also added that Hostopia is in the process of adding additional server administrators and support staff to maintain Panthur’s customer service.
Panthur said to its customers:
You will continue receiving the same fast, reliable and secure hosting services based in Australia and the pricing will not increase.
