Press Release Body:
Monticello,USA,Jan 09,2008 -- United States Secure Hosting Center (USSHC), an
ultra-secure collocation data center, has been chosen by Wikia, Inc. to provide
bandwidth, collocation, and disaster recovery for their new Wikia Search project.
Wikia, Inc. is an industry pioneer, providing selective hosting for wikis and
developing new ways to present search data through open editing. USSHC operates out
of an underground facility originally designed to protect communication interests
for the US government. By utilizing the unique design of the facility, USSHC is able
to offer the highest levels of security and redundancy without excessive cost.

Wikia Search looks to give users an alternative to today\'s search engines by using
individual feedback rather than secret algorithms. This approach is designed to lead
to more effective results where the users determine how accurate a page or wiki is
based on its relevancy. With the community providing the fine tuning of the
searches, there will be fewer results with \"parked pages\" and ad content, and more
relevant data.

\"USSHC is serving as our critical hub for this launch, their level of service and
security is as unprecedented as the disaster tolerance of their facility itself.\"
said Jeremie Miller, from Wikia Search.

\"We are very excited to host Wikia at our facility for their various projects,\"
stated Jerry Pasker, CEO of USSHC. \"Our facility allows us to offer the best
physical security available without breaking your budget. Companies that are looking
for more than just commodity data center space expect a higher standard. We\'re able
to offer that peace of mind through our attention to detail and dedication to having
the best systems and practices in place.\"

Wikia is one of several industry-leading companies that need facilities that can
change on demand, offer the highest levels of security, and provide the bandwidth
and power necessary for major projects. With truly redundant fiber connections with
zero common points of failure, two data and UPS drops to customer racks, and
multiple onsite generators with secure fuel storage, USSHC can meet those needs for
installations of any size. USSHC has many levels of physical and biometric security,
is the sole owner of the data center facilities and the land, and has complete
control of all infrastructure and upgrades.

About USSHC

Established in 2003 to provide total redundancy for a local ISP, USSHC has expanded
to offer full disaster recovery and collocation services to a wide variety of
consumers. USSHC provides a full range of services from its secure data center in
their military-built, hardened, underground facility. Designed to survive and
operate normally during a major disaster, the facility has been a premier choice for
leaders in internet services, technology startups, and Fortune 500 companies. USSHC
is a privately held company based in Eastern Iowa.
