FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 08, 2001 – Dialtone Internet Inc., a leading provider of dedicated and co-location Web-hosting services, today announced that Alvaro Albarracin, the company’s founder and CEO, has been named “Entrepreneur of the Year” for 2001 by Web Hosting Magazine.

According to Isabel Wang, the editor and publisher of Web Hosting Magazine, the recognition was based on Albarracin’s vision to focus a small telecommunications business that he founded in 1996 on dedicated and managed hosting services and offer a Linux-based platform.

“Alvaro first learned about Web hosting in 1996, and only five years later he’s at the helm of one of the industry’s rising stars that boasts the rare combination of triple-digit growth and sustained profitability,” Wang said. “Alvaro recognized the potential for managed and dedicated hosting in 1998, and he created one of the first hosting companies to offer Linux-based platforms and IBM dedicated servers. His focus on customer service and profitability that he honed from his previous business experience, which began when he was just 13 with a hot-dog cart in Cartagena, Colombia, has helped make Dialtone one of the largest and fastest-growing independent hosting companies in the country. He is very deserving of being named our ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ for 2001.”

Albarracin credits much of the company’s success to its employees, some of whom are now part owners of the company.

“I am very honored and thankful for this recognition from the Web hosting industry’s leading publication,” Albarracin said. “The success of Dialtone Internet is due in large part to the qualifications and dedication of our managers and staff, and I thank each and every one of them for their efforts that have contributed greatly to this.”

Dialtone Internet’s growth was also recently recognized by The Business Journal Serving South Florida, which ranked the company No. 3 on its annual “Fast Track 40” list of the area’s fastest-growing companies.
