FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of Hostway Corporation and Hostway Services, Inc. ("Hostway") customers whose email accounts utilized Hostway's shared servers located in Florida that were "blacklisted" at any time from November 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009 (the "Class Period"). The Plaintiff claims that Hostway violated the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjustly enriched itself.

Who Is Included?
