曾淇赐 Chan Kee Siak

Managing Director
曾淇赐于2001年创办Exabytes Group, 为目前是马来西亚第一大网页寄存服务公司。 就如同许多发生在美国的创业故事,在大伙都属于玩乐的年纪时候,19岁的曾淇赐发现了具有强大市场潜力的网页寄存服务机会;当时候的曾淇赐几经挣扎后决定輟學,专注于自己的网路创业。 在2012年期间,曾淇赐的故事更被编写成个人传记-"From Zerobytes to Exabytes," 成功出版于马来西亚与新加坡各大书局。 At the age of nineteen, Chan was already a budding entrepreneur, selling PCs and advocating web design ideas. He founded Exabytes Network, earlier known as hostkaki.com in 2001. When it comes to sustainable successful business, Chan defined it as a business that could serve multiple clients at any given time, globally, with high margins and recurring income – all of which he was not getting from his initial startups. Naturally, Web hosting came to mind which he noticed, fit all of the criteria he had in mind. As there were only a handful of web hosting providers in Malaysia, he set his plans swiftly, the rest, is history. Now, Exabytes Group is the largest web hosting company in Malaysia with its own servers and sixty thousand plus clients from many countries.
