June 29, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed dedicated hosting provider Sanfire (sanfire.com), a subsidiary of EIRCA (eirca.net), announced on Wednesday it has formed a strategic partnership with Web design and developer Equentity (equentity.com).

Sanfire says because the two companies have complimentary strengths, the partnership will enable both to collectively satisfy a wider customer base and experience more rapid growth in their respective areas of expertise.

"This alliance allows Sanfire to focus its energy on our core services, specifically H-Sphere hosting solutions and flexible managed dedicated servers," says Simon O'Rourke, CEO of Sanfire. "We receive favorable Web design terms from Equentity, one of the forerunners in online development. In return, we will help sustain Equentity's hosting support structure, as well as provide them with hosting resources that otherwise would not be available to them. Equentity will assume point for cPanel hosting operations for the foreseeable future, giving them the opportunity for aggressive growth in this field."

The companies say the alliance is based on the exchange of corporate services and mutual support of business channels and that neither company has received any degree of financial control over the other.

Last month, Equentity publicly launched its hosting subsidiary Equentity Host, offering cPanel-based shared, reseller and dedicated hosting solutions.
