- This comes as fellow ASX-listed 5G Networks (5GN) completed an off-market takeover of Webcentral
- 5GN now owns just under 57 percent of Webcentral after beating a competing Web.com offer and overcoming some regulatory hurdles
- Investors seem supportive of the new direction for Webcentral, with shares in the company up over 14 percent and worth 24 cents each this afternoon
