Howdy Zoomers,
First an introduction and background check. My name is Greg Landis, Im the CEO of Landis holdings, Inc. A Houston, TX based company. Most of you already know Kiet Duong, CEO of HostingZoom, but you might not know that me and Kiet have been neighbors for some time. Our companies grew under similar circumstances, offering similar products, and from the same city here in Houston. We even share the same colocation facilities and product vendors. In many ways, too many to list, our companies were always siblings and we often spoke of ways the two might benefit one another.

Those talks grew and grew over the months until we realized we are already aligned so we made it official. All of our companies are already very profitable, and very reputable. In this agreement Kiet will remain on in his same executive level and power, with a new title. Thats as far as the changes go, we have zero plans to move, alter, or upset clients in any fashion.

We do have some awesome benefits for all the companies under our corp umbrella though. Lets go over how some of these are already being deployed and which ones are coming and how far out they are. Me, Kiet, Dylan, Les, Masood, Vlad, and other key members of HostingZoom/ResellerZoom/ModVPS have been laying out plans and discussing client needs and the main wish list. The even better news is we don’t plan to pick one, instead we have the unique opportunity to do them all. Thanks to these companies being profitable we have no need or desire to upset any flow thats working well.

Personnel
There are some great and talented people behind the entire staff here and we plan to keep them all. In fact since August this year Landis Holdings has been hiring new staff at an incredible rate. The technical staff alone has grown almost 40% and we aren’t done adding to that yet. We have some big plans to offer incredible support features and options. We have also increased our development staff to help bring in some of the much anticipated requests of the clients from the forums and emails.

Operations
We do not plan to make any change in the flow of operations on any level that could negatively impact clients. Let me make it clear, there doesn’t need to be server migrations and data transfers, nothing will be shut off or stopped. All companies already operate smoothly and profitable, we do not wish to upset any of them in any way by imposing the policies of one over the other. Each has in place its own chain of command, staff, servers, and colo. There are some things we see people wanting though that we can now instantly provide over the next week, month, and I’m confident all before years end.

Bullet Breakdown

And to prove this all isn’t just talk, everything I just mentioned has already begun. Kiet and other independent parties and staff will concur, we are in here to put some polish on the place. Point by point:
- We already have hired several new workers and are agressively working to complete development improvements to scripts and features clients have been requesting
- We have already placed a massive order for the largest shipment of servers in all HostingZoom history. Brought in to load balance, offer new services, complete all backup promises within the next 30 days, offer additional vps and reseller options, and more.
- All new servers are equipped with 4gb to 16gb ram, RAID-10, and many extras to be stored in our onsite offices.
- R1soft licenses are ready and awaiting the arrival of our equipment to engage all backups right now
- Me and several others have been actively engaged with the forum community already.
- Kiet, myself, other members of management and all the HZ staff are now and will continue to always actively be engaged with the clients and operations.

Im posting my email for anyone that needs to reach me, Greg@hostingzoom.com . Most of you already know Kiets, Kiet@hostingzoom.com and we both welcome any comments you have to offer.

Thanks, Im looking forward to meeting you all in the forums.
