HostWorks Launches FerrariPortal.com
DENVER, CO - September 23, 2002- HostWorks, Inc. launched FerrariPortal.com today, providing a single point of comprehensively linked and indexed information about Italy's most revered sports cars.
The portal has ten major categories, 47 subcategories and over 450 unique links, with more added daily. Worldwide event listings, daily news bulletins, forums and featured sites are highlighted. Search functions for directory listings are also provided.
"Ferrari has been my obsession for longer than I can remember," commented Paul Gilpatrick, HostWorks' president and CEO. "It's been frustrating trying to find one consolidated site that offers broad based, searchable, current information about Ferrari history, racing, shows-- you name it. FerrariPortal.com fills that void."
The HostWorks team completed design/development/launch cycle in six weeks. HostWorks hosts and manages the portal, populating it with resources including the Authorized Dealer network, enthusiast clubs, racing equipment and events, concours and Formula 1 information, auctions, parts and service and memorabilia.
HostWorks' experience with software products for automotive-based web sites was key during the development of FerrariPortal.com. HostWorks provides web development and managed services to high profile automotive sites including Hemmings Motor News, the Ferrari Club of America, the Colorado Grand, Gates Rubber Company, Dave Friedman Photography, the Ferrari Market Letter and Cavallino magazine.
HostWorks has won multiple Business Marketing Association awards for web site development and provides custom web applications, hosting, managed services and turnkey web solutions for over 350 clients in 23 states and three countries. In February 2002 HostWorks shifted its hosting facilities to a 230,000 square foot, debt-free hosting facility in Denver providing unmatched security and connectivity to its clients.
Privately held since its 1996 inception, HostWorks was listed by the January 2002 Denver Business Journal as the Ninth Largest Internet Services Provider in Colorado and was named to their Fastest Growing Private Small Companies list in both 2001 and 2002.
