There are companies that will do that, but first you have to ask
yourself who would be interested in press releases about your company.
I know that if I was (still) a reporter at a local newspaper and got a
fax about another Web hosting company, I wouldn't give it a second
look. Is there something unique about your company that would interest
particular news outlets? And what type of media would those be?

To add to mwalcoff's comment, I AM a reporter at a local publication,
several Web publications, and a national publication and I DO trash
this sort of press release without ever reading past the first line.

May I suggest that you should look into getting a good position in
various search engines instead?  You can do that for free or low cost
and it's probably a much more effective form of advertising.

Of course if you have some terrific hook then by all means create a
press release but a local (to you) publication is far more likely to
be interested.
 
Good luck.

Thank you both mwalcoff-ga and siliconsamurai-ga for your comments. 
Yes I will certainly have to think of a unique headline and
perspective in regards to the press release to have a chance for it to
be picked up by a major publication.

I appreciate your comments and thank you for your time.

Best Wishes
