HUERTH and COLOGNE, Germany, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The web hosting sector is gathering in Germany from March 18 to 20, when intergenia AG, together with about 50 high-class international partners invites to WebhostingDay 2009. The world's largest hosting conference celebrates its fifth jubilee in 2009 and it beats all former records with this year's event. The attendee limit for the event location - Phantasialand in Bruehl near Cologne - has been reached for the first time with over 2,500 registered visitors from 21 nations. In comparison to the previous year, this number signifies an increase of about 150 percent.
The organizers can also register a great success concerning the number of partners. While there have already been 40 companies last year, who contributed to WebhostingDay with talks and fair booths, this number could be enhanced to more than 50 in 2009. Among those companies, there are many well-known and internationally operating enterprises like Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Parallels, Interxion, HP or Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
With these figures, WebhostingDay defies the world-wide financial crisis as well as the regressive trend which has become apparent at many trade fairs like CeBIT.

Amongst others, Allen Clark from Microsoft, Shannon Poulin from Intel, Serguei Belloussov from Parallels and Jochen Polster from AMD will be holding a talk. In the afternoons, the hosting.SESSIONs are held, where industry experts talk about news and facts worth knowing all around the topics hosting and internet.
