The Planet, the global leader in IT
hosting, today announced it has been named to the Fast Tech 50, an
annual list of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in Houston.
Among the 50 award recipients, The Planet was the single largest revenue

2007, The Planet was ranked No. 29.
The awards are co-sponsored by the Houston Business Journal and PKF

culture,” said Erwin. “The Planet’s combination of hiring the right
people for the right jobs, our tenacity to do what’s best for our
customers, and a management team committed to operating a solid
business, contributes across the board to our growth.”
To qualify for the Fast Tech 50, companies must be headquartered in the
Houston metropolitan area and have net revenues of more than $200,000 in
