DotComBuilding, which restarted under a new domain name 3 months ago are currently affiliates with DigitalRacks, but according to an announcment by DigitalRacks, they are in talks for a take over.
For months DCB has been sending customers in DigitalRacks direction, earning commission based on the signups, as much as 15GBP per Sale. A DotComBuilding spokesman has said "we have worked with DigitalRacks for months now, we were very happy with the agreement we have been following", but they refused to coment on the take over saying "its early stages".

It is said the DigitalRacks want to break away from affiliate related gains from DCB and integrate a turnkey providing service owned by themselves.
