C I Host Launches Wireless Website, Announces Holiday Colocation Offer

BEDFORD, TX (December 24, 2003) - C I Host, which led the industry when it
launched its first wireless Web site in 2001, continues to stay ahead of the
pack with version 2.0 - an upgraded Mobile Web Site that allows consumers to
purchase all its services from any wireless Internet device.

New features allow customers to check the status of an order, get their
email from any C I Host domain, monitor C I Host's real-time network status,
place orders for C I Host services and products, or read the latest news
from C I Host, from any cell phone or PDA.

"Customers can even log in and open a support trouble ticket to alert us to
a problem while they are en route and away from a computer," said
Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "That way, we can start working on
the problem right away and have it fixed by the time they get to the
office."

Wireless communication is rapidly expanding. The mobile workforce is
expected to grow to 55.4 million in 2004 from 39.2 million in 2000,
according to IDC, a research firm.

To meet the increasing demand, Wi-Fi hot spots are multiplying across the
country. This week, for example, T-Mobile USA announced a deal to allow
iPass corporate users to connect to its 4,000 hot spots and MCI announced it
would triple its footprint of Wi-Fi access points through a partnership with
Boingo Wireless to 2,600 by March and 3,000 by the end of the year.

"Clearly, mCommerce is here and growing and we want to make sure our
customers can conduct business with C I Host from wherever they are,"
Faulkner said.

Additionally, the company has launched C I Host's Annual "Crazy
Christmas" Promotion which will put money in your pocket and zip in your eBusiness
for the New Year.

For just Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, if you mention the promo code
HOLIDAY, you can get the following stocking stuffers -

1. Free shipping of all colocation equipment to any of C I Host's three data
centers -- Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago
2. Emergency, Platinum setup; open all day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
3. Three free months added to all of C I Host's services
4. Personal migration account representative if switching from a competing
host

"Just the three free months alone could be worth up to $50,000 on our
highest packages," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host, a global
leader in Web hosting and Internet solutions. "Christmas is one of the most
fun holidays of the year and we want to make it even more exciting for our
customers."

C I Host order representatives will be working Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day to help all new customers cash in on the 48-hour sale.

Over the past year, C I Host has expanded it data centers in Los Angeles and
Texas and added a third center in Chicago. The firm has increased its
bandwidth capabilities and upgraded its Service Level Agreements to
guarantee 100 percent uptime.

With more than 200,000 customers in 182 countries, C I Host leads the
industry in growth, customer satisfaction, security and reliability.

"Our customers' success is our success," Faulkner said. "Last year we had
hundreds of people signup and take advantage of this once-a-year offer - it'
s the perfect time to lock down next years web hosting and data center
services for your business or any online venture."
