- Namesco abstract "Namesco Ltd is an Internet domain name and hosting service founded in 1996 as a small Internet Startup named "Names.co Internet Services Limited" originally based in North East England.At around the same time, in 1997, another Internet Startup was founded by Kevin Savage, Jason Smith and John Sewell named Phase8.com "Webcall.com Limited" based in Worcester. In March 2000, following the dot com boom, Names.co Internet Services Limited became a Public Limited Company and floated on the London Unlisted Securities Market with a new name of Namesco Internet Plc. In December 2001, Namesco Internet Plc acquired Phase8.com "Webcall.com Limited" for the sum of £2,450,000. Despite acquiring smaller web hosting companies and resellers along the way such as SmartChoice on 1 April 2003 the "publicly quoted" Namesco struggled to be viable citing the increasingly competitive nature of the domain name and web hosting business, and the additional costs of maintaining listed status as the reasons for a lack of profitability.Accordingly in January 2004 Namesco Internet PLC was the subject of a reverse takeover and its internet operations subject to a management buyout. The PLC "acquired" Larchland Limited for valuable mineral exploration rights and the business renamed as "Triple Plate Junction PLC." Triple Plates accounts for 2004 reveal losses of GBP£84,000 for the "Namesco" business prior to its disposal in January 2004. Indeed "Namesco" was hived down into a subsidiary and sold to "Womerah Limited." Womerah being the company connected to the outgoing board of directors, David Lees, Jason Smith and Kevin Savage.Although Namesco had an annual turnover of over GBP£1.1M, Womerah acquired the subsidiary for a consideration of GBP£253,343 of which only GBP£100,000 was required as a cash payment, to be made in two staged payments GBP£50,000. David Lees remained as a Director of both "Namesco Limited" and "Triple Plate Junction PLC." "TPJ" changed its activities to become a gold mining and exploration company with substantial activities in Vietnam.The now privately owned Namesco had the extra cash and agility to begin buying businesses which was key to the growth strategy. On 9 July 2004, Namesco acquired NamesWeb; a small domain and web hosting business.On 17 September 2004, Namesco Ltd was able to "double" the size of its internet business by acquiring a competitor, the local and profitable Malvern based "Simply.com Limited" from the Coulson family for GBP£2.15M. Simply.Com Limited managed 92,000 domain names.On 3 March 2005, Namesco Ltd acquired the assets of domain and hosting business Net2 Ltd.On 19 July 2005, Namesco Ltd acquired the broadband business NDO Ltd. NDO also sold domain names, web hosting and dialup internet access. This acquisition allowed Namesco to offer its customers ADSL at competitive prices, and in August 2006 it re-launched its broadband offerings.On 18 July 2007, Namesco Ltd was purchased by Register.it Spa, an Italian Internet company owned by Dada, for £24.5million. Register.it also owns Nominalia in Spain, and acquiring Namesco adds a substantial UK operation to the division.On 26 October 2007, Namesco Ltd acquired Xsession.com Limited, a company in administration since 23 July 2007.On 13 November 2007, Namesco Ltd acquired the assets of Serve360.com, a Domain Registration and Hosting company.On 13 December 2007, Namesco Ltd acquired the assets of UKdomains.com, a domain registration and web Hosting company.On 28 May 2008, Namesco Ltd acquired the assets of Register365, Irelands largest hosting provider, through its subsidiary Namesco Ireland Ltd, adding 40,000 domains to its portfolio. In August 2009 after 10 years both Founders and Board Directors Kevin Savage and Jason Smith resigned from Namesco to focus on their new businesses, Ventutec Limited and Siteopia.com. This left, as new Directors, Chirag Patel (previously the Operations Manager) and Sarah Bratchell (previously the Finance Controller).".
