Seattle, Washington - (via THE HOSTING NEWS) - August 11, 2005 - Adhost Internet, a privately held provider of server colocation and shared server hosting, today opened the doors to a greatly expanded data center - 50% more rack space than the original one. In addition to the extra rack space, the data center, which is located in the Fisher Plaza in downtown Seattle, features a more efficient air conditioning system and an improved security system.

Will Riffle, President and CEO of Adhost explained the reasons for the new data center, ''Just one year after moving into our data center at the Fisher Plaza, we had added so many servers for our colocation clients that we had to start planning a data center expansion.''

Kurt Widmann, Adhost Sales Manager commented, ''It's a relief to have the extra space available for our new and existing clients. We've had a wait-list since the spring. Our lockable one-quarter and half cabinets have been very popular.''

Adhost's data center features:

* Seismically braced cabinets with lockable front and back doors for added security

* Two emergency wells to supply water to cooling towers if city water is unavailable
* Perimeter and interior card key access system with 24/7 security monitoring
* Proprietary, redundant and cross-configured multi-homed router network
