Interland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interland was founded by Ken Gravonivich. It was later acquired by MicronPC. Micron then sold off the PC business and changed its name to Interland. The company was run by Joel Kocher until August 2005 when Jeff Stibel took over as CEO. In February of 2003, Web.com (then Interland) and its former Chief Executive Officer Joel Kocher were sued by Gabriel Murphy and Bryan Heitman, co-founders of CommuniTech.Net for $26.7 million (source). Murphy and Heitman sold their business to Interland on February 8, 2002 (source). According to the complaint, the company failed to disclose material events that occured the same date and the company failed to timely register Murphy and Heitman's Interland stock as promised. The case is pending and jury trial in Heitman v. Interland, et. al. is set for June 25, 2007 in Jackson County, Missouri. In February 2006, the company changed its name to Web.com.
The company has built over four million websites for small businesses. Interland also acquired numerous hosting companies throughout the past 10 years, including HostPro, Innerhost, Interland, Burlee, Trellix, Communitech, WazooWeb and most recently Web.com.
