Press Release Summary:
IT services company celebrates momentous goal by donating 400.00 to local charity


Press Release Body: Fareham, Hampshire, 21st April 2008: Cobweb, a Fareham based IT
services company, has reached a momentous milestone by signing up Rowan's Hospice as
its 40,000th email mailbox user. To mark the special occasion, Cobweb has donated
400.00 to the charity to help install a Wi-Fi network in the hospice. In
celebration, Cobweb has also released five helium-filled balloons representing
40,000 into the skies over Rowan's Hospice and a mystery prize awaits the lucky
people who find them!

Cobweb provides hosted email and IT services to small to medium sized businesses to
enable them to concentrate on their core business without getting bogged down with
the technology. Established in 1996, the company has witnessed phenomenal success
and is now one of the industry leaders. Rowan's Hospice has outsourced its website
hosting to Cobweb and has also purchased 60 email mailbox licences from the IT
services company.

"As a charity we are always keen to keep costs to a minimum, so when it came to
managing our IT, it quickly became apparent that outsourcing our email and website
hosting to Cobweb would be a simple, cost-effective and secure alternative to doing
it ourselves," explained Anne Yendell, Director of Finance and Operations, Rowan's
Charity. "It was an added bonus that we were the 40,000th customer! The donation
will enable us to install a Wi-Fi hotspot that, for the first time, will give
patients and visitors wireless access to the internet enabling them to look up
information, contact friends and family and share photos and videos."

Mark Adams, CEO of Cobweb commented; "Email communication and an online presence are
key to the success of businesses of all sizes. But many small to medium sized
enterprises waste valuable time and resource on ensuring that their IT system is
secure, up to date and fully functional. Organisations such as Rowan's Hospice are
seeing the advantages of outsourcing key elements of their technology, which enables
them to concentrate on providing outstanding care and support to those living with
life-limiting illness."
