Web Hosting Giant - C I Host - To Debut TV Ads for New Year on Times Square
Jumbo TVs

BEDFORD, TX (December 22, 2003) - C I Host, a global leader in Web hosting,
Internet infrastructure and software development, will launch an aggressive
television blitz on Dec. 23 in Times Square, the pulse of the United States
holiday season.

"C I Host is known for crazy deals on the Web and zany promotions," said
Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "We're using the Jumbotron screens in
Times Square to announce that C I Host and the American economy are going to
have a huge 2004! It's a simple plan: Be in Times Square! Be seen by
millions!"

Beginning Dec. 23, C I Host television ads - a total of 220 60:second
spots -- will "air" live in full-motion video on the huge ABC and NBC
screens overlooking Times Square. Traffic in the area is estimated to be 2
million per day - a marketing coup for any holiday campaign.

"If there is a great, economical media opportunity, we will find it,"
Faulkner said. "And, the fact that our ads are playing to the people of the
greatest, most influential city on earth makes this an extra special holiday
treat."

The ads state that C I Host can help with "Whatever you want to do on the
Web," just as it has helped its 200,000 customers around the world.

C I Host turned heads earlier this month, as its Human Billboard received
newspaper coverage across the country - complete with color photos of the
gentleman who now has a 5X5 color tattoo of C I Host's logo on the back of
his head.

C I Host astounded the marketing world in 1999, when it blazed new marketing
territory by placing its logo on the boxing trunks of Heavyweight Evander
Holyfield. That "gamble" rewarded C I Host with hundreds of television
shots, over and over before a pay-per-view audience of 800 million viewers
worldwide.
