Interesting news. Does this mean that they will incorporate into one big company?

Or will they continue to operate under the respective names?

i think they will still operate under the respective names at least for now

Or it was a fortnight ago when it happened
It'll all be "webfusion" eventually, although I doubt they'll abandon the name/website

Well as a 123- reg client this has just been announced to their clients today

I never heard of this company but it's common to see such acquisition because it's happening every day in the world. The most famous one would be EIG

I've found them to be money-grabbing idiots (Heart that is). They wanted £50 to change a glue record lol.

Man, these guys are trying to corner the UK hosting market. I feel sorry for customers who think they are getting choice and don't realise half the big UK hosting companies come under the Host Europe umbrella :-(
