Aplus.Net Acquires WebImage


Leading Web Hosting Provider Acquires Innovative New York-based Web Design Firm

August 22, 2007; 07:27 AM
OVERLAND PARK, KS - August 21, 2007 - Aplus.Net (www.aplus.net
<http://www.aplus.net/> ), a leading web hosting company and Internet
solutions provider, today announced the acquisition of WebImage
(www.webimage.com <http://www.webimage.com/> ), a full-service Internet
marketing and website development company based in White Plains, New
York.

With a business model focused on premium Internet presence solutions for
small businesses, WebImage is best known for its highly streamlined
approach to volume web design. In addition, WebImage positions itself as
a business partner for small-to-medium-sized businesses seeking a single
business partner to provide an Internet presence solution complete with
design, hosting and marketing services.

"We firmly believe that the remaining 40 percent of small businesses
that have yet to establish an Internet presence are unlikely to rely on
do-it-yourself web design solutions," said Gabriel Murphy, Aplus.Net's
President and Chief Executive Officer. "Instead, they will demand a
complete Internet solution with web design, hosting and marketing
services fully integrated into one package. The acquisition of WebImage
offers a significant component to our focus on providing a fully
integrated Internet presence solution to small businesses. WebImage's
reputation for providing high-quality web design services based on a
streamlined, efficient process was very attractive to us. The company is
far ahead of other bulk web design firms in terms of their value
proposition, quality of design and process efficiency."

"The WebImage acquisition furthers our vision of providing a broad
portfolio of web presence and software services to small- and
medium-sized businesses," commented Tyler Newton, Chairman of Aplus.Net
and a partner with New York-based Catalyst Investors, the majority owner
of Aplus.Net. "By bringing together these two companies, Aplus.Net
advances its position as a leader in the fragmented web hosting
industry."

WebImage was formerly a business unit of White Plains, New York-based
TSV Group. "We've worked hard to make the WebImage brand synonymous with
excellence and value, and we have complete confidence that under
Aplus.Net, with its distinctive history of technological innovation,
that reputation will grow even stronger," commented Felix Rodriguez,
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TSV Group.

Aplus.Net is a privately held company and was represented by RBC Daniels
in the transaction. Financial terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.
