ATLANTA, Mar 24, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interland (INLD) , a leading provider of Web hosting and online services for small and medium-sized businesses, has been named the #1 Dedicated Servers Host Provider for March 2004 by Web Host Directory (www.webhostdir.com), a one-stop, neutral Web site designed to help visitors compare and purchase hosting products and services.

The Web Host Directory called Interland "one of the most respected Web hosts" and recognized Interland as "the best performing company" in the dedicated hosting category. The award's Review Board went on to say, "(Interland's) technically advanced designers and support staff allows for the complete Web experience for both amateurs and professionals and all Interland's dedicated products accept custom applications and components."

Web Host Directory Awards are given to the best Web hosts in a number of categories. Monthly evaluations by site visitors of hosting providers in the areas of performance, cost, features, support, reliability and speed are tabulated and double checked for accuracy - removing duplicate ratings from any one voter. Then Web Host Directory's Review Board evaluates the top rated hosts in each category, visiting each Web site before selecting award winners.

"Interland is very excited about this recognition by Web Host Directory because it is a clear show of support for our intense focus on and commitment to our customers," said Richard Pitrolo, Interland's vice president of customer service delivery. "Because of our size, Interland is clearly now in a better position than any other hosting company to deliver reliable, business-class hosting and online services. For example, this year we have made a multi-million dollar commitment earmarked exclusively for customer satisfaction initiatives. Aggressive efforts to continually 'raise the bar' in what customers should expect from hosting providers will enable us to outdistance the competition."
