DALLAS, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- C I Host, a leading Web host and Internet solutions provider, has received the ISO 9001:2000 Certification for its data centers in Fort Worth, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Companies undergo rigorous testing by the International Organization of Standardization to achieve certification that they meet standards of quality that are recognized and respected throughout the world.

"In mid 2003, we set ISO Certification as a strategic goal that we wanted to achieve by 2004, and we did it," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "Undergoing the stringent and involved process necessary to receive this certification demonstrates our ongoing focus on quality and efficient operating techniques."

The audit to evaluate compliance with the ISO standard examines the extent to which a company's quality management system and processes contain customer- focused elements.

The certification covers all aspects of C I Host's core Web hosting and data center operation, including operations, finance, sales, marketing and facility management, thus ensuring the highest standards of service through quality management systems.

"Customers in the SMB market choose a hosting company not just based on price, but on financial stability, technical expertise and attention to quality," Faulkner said.
