C I HOST NAMESERVER RESTORATION SNAG TEMPORARY, NOT Y2K RELATED
Internet Company Nameservers to Return to Full Function

30 December 1999 (BEDFORD, TX) —C I Host (www.cihost.com), a growing Internet services and Web hosting solutions provider, today confirmed that company nameservers in the process of restoration should be fully functional for Y2K.

As C I Host entered the final stages of its $2 million Network Operations Center buildout, the company's main nameserver experienced data corruption that propagated through the network late December 29th, disabling domain name resolution. Internet Protocol addresses served by the company remain intact and running, but at this hour are inaccessible through common domain names. Once the primary nameserver is restored, the secondary nameserver will mirror that success and propagate proper functions through the network.

No client data files were damaged. The data corruption that occurred December 29th is isolated to the nameservers only and the restoration remains unrelated to any Y2K issues whatsoever.

C I Host CEO Christopher Faulkner further explained the restoration: "As of 2:00 PM CST on December 29th, C I Host made the decision to restore the nameservers which allow users on the Internet to browse the domains hosted by C I Host. At this time, this restoration is moving forward as rapidly as is possible. All of our clients may rest assured that no data loss has occurred and that nameservers are expected to return to full function." Faulkner also added that the restoration issue has no Year 2000 significance.
