April 11, 2007-(TORONTO, ON)- Web hosting novices and enthusiasts throughout North America have made TopHosts Canada the industry authority since 2001 and the Top 10 list remains one of the most highly regarded gauges of success among Web hosting providers in the region. TopHosts Canada has voted PEER 1 as the Number One Web Host for April 2007.

In selecting the best Canadian Web hosting provider each month, TopHosts Canada scrutinizes and measures hosting providers on several criteria including exceptional customer care practices, breadth of service and product offerings, innovative marketing approaches and technology adoption.

“PEER 1 is honored to be recognized by TopHosts Canada and it’s audience for this award,” said Rajan Sodhi, VP of Marketing and Communications for PEER 1. “We’re aggressively building a company that delivers a one-stop, scalable Internet infrastructure solution that leverages our rock-solid network. Whether managed, self-managed, or co-location hosting, we’re here to service the client with no bias to one form of hosting. It’s about what the client needs and this award reassures us that we’re moving in the right direction.”

PEER 1 continues to enjoy robust growth across its Web hosting operation particularly showing strong demand in co-location and dedicated web hosting solutions. The company reported recently that its data center expansion in Vancouver is complete, increasing the company’s co-location capacity by over 140 cabinet equivalents.
