SAN DIEGO, CA, January 10th,
2007 — Aplus.Net, a leading web hosting
company and Internet solutions provider, has officially announced its
new lineup of senior and executive management, following up on last
month’s announcement that its headquarters will move from San
Diego to Kansas in February.
The changes are designed to bring a more dynamic
leadership team to Aplus.Net as it enters a new growth stage, while
improving its ability to exceed the needs and expectations of its more
than 200,000 customers. Aplus.Net’s focus will remain on
small businesses, helping them to build an online customer base using a
comprehensive range of services that include web hosting, web
design, dedicated servers,
online marketing,
e-commerce,
domain name registration,
and much more.
Gabriel C. Murphy has taken over Chief Executive
Officer duties, with Ryan Elledge taking on the role of Chief
Operations Officer. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Elledge bring to Aplus.Net
extensive web hosting experience from CommuniTech.Net, a Kansas-based
web hosting firm that was co-founded by Mr. Murphy. At the time of its
acquisition by Interland in 2002, CommuniTech.Net was regarded as one
of the nation’s most profitable hosting firms, with 16
consecutive quarters of revenue growth and profitability.
Russell Gilman, previously general manager of
Aplus.Net’s support department, has been named the Senior
Vice President of Customer Care. Clarke Caines will remain in his role
as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, and Matthew
O’Neill will continue to serve as Vice President of Business
Affairs. In addition, Aplus.Net has brought Nicholas Gaugler, also with
CommuniTech.Net experience, on board to serve as Vice President of
Development. Rounding out the senior management team are Aplus.Net
veterans Sneharthi Roy as Vice President of the Dedicated Server
Business Unit and Michael Howard as Vice President of Accounting and
Finance.
“We’ve taken important and
well-considered steps to ensure that the best possible management is in
place to take us into Aplus.Net’s next phase,” said
Mr. Murphy. “Much of the talent on board we’ve
retained from Aplus.Net’s previous formation, with a few
notable additions and promotions. All changes have been made in the
interest in making Aplus.Net the most viable and long-lasting company
it can be. And, as before, Aplus.Net’s priority is to meet
and exceed the expectations of our valued customers in every way
possible.”
