(Web Hosting News) OVERLAND PARK, KS – Aplus.Net, a leading web hosting company and Internet solutions provider, has announced changes to its executive management team, including the naming of a new Chief Executive Officer, Phillip Spencer.

Mr. Spencer succeeds Gabriel Murphy as the company’s CEO. Mr. Murphy will remain President of Aplus.Net and will also take on a more tactical oversight role as the company’s new Chief Strategy Officer. Mr. Murphy played a pivotal role as Aplus.Net’s President and CEO during the company’s ownership transition in 2006, and during its move from California to Kansas in 2007.

Mr. Spencer comes to Aplus.Net directly from a highly successful tenure as President and CEO of Everest Connections, Inc., a Lenexa, Kansas-based cable, telephone, and Internet access provider that thrived in a market dominated by larger competition. Under Mr. Spencer’s leadership, the company grew to more than $60 million in annual revenues and was named as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Kansas City area in 2005 by Ingram’s Magazine and Ernst and Young.
