C I Host Named among the Tech Titan Fast 50

"We are pleased and proud to receive this award," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "We have received it before, and it is always a thrill. We thank our customers and employees for making this continued growth possible."

Now in its tenth year, C I Host has more than 250,000 clients in 190 countries around the globe. Its primary focus has been providing the small and medium business market with the kinds of Internet solutions and web hosting packages that usually only large companies can afford.

"We want to take the hassle out of eCommerce for smaller companies who want the best technology can give them without setting up an IT department in their back room," Faulkner said.

While continuing to serve its core market of small and medium sized businesses, C I Host has also expanded its reach and now counts among its customers several large companies, who in turn have their own clients all over the world, and hosts more than 5,000 dedicated servers. That kind of global reach has been made possible in part by C I Host's decision to invest in an exceptionally large, robust, redundant and reliable network - now one of the largest privately owned fiber-optic cable networks in the world.

That vast network, in connection with four state-of-the-art, wholly owned data centers, allows C I Host to provide its customers with geographic load balancing, which means that data on a company's Web site can be served from the C I Host servers that are closest to the customer accessing the company's information.

C I Host has incurred no long-term debt and has been able to anticipate economic changes accurately enough to successfully ride out the collapse of the dot.com bubble and even show growth.

In large part that growth has occurred because C I Host has consistently put its customers at the center of its operation - using quality-controlled customer service programs, a live chat room with the CEO, customer satisfaction surveys and a "Customers Rule" program to keep the focus on the needs of its clients.

"We have been blessed with tremendous success, and none of it would have been possible without the support of our customers," Faulkner said. "They are truly the collective CEO of my company."

On its website, the Metroplex Technology Business Council describes the Tech Titans awards program, which began in 2001.

"Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex technologists have a great deal to be proud of. The region has become a hotbed of ideas and innovations in technology. Behind this growth are individuals, companies, and institutions that are leading the way. They are Tech Titans."

Deloitte and Touche audit the revenue statements submitted by companies that enter the competition and rank them according to their five year growth.
