BurstNET Technologies, Inc.™ is a world-wide leader in Web Hosting and Internet
Solutions. The privately held company, based in North-Eastern
Pennsylvania, services clientele in over 100 countries around the world.
BurstNET™ began in 1991 as a computer hardware/software
retail firm and distributorship. Shortly after incorporating in late 1996, the
company quickly made the transition to providing internet services.
BurstNET™ established itself in the industry prior to the explosion of the web
hosting market. The company has experienced exceptional growth and currently hosts
more than 200,000+ domains worldwide, on the 3000+ managed dedicated servers and
co-located machines currently in the facility.
The primary revenue source of the firm is derived from providing clientele with a
presence on the Internet in the form of a Web site.
A Web site, which consists of information and data unique to each particular
client that is stored on a computer (a.k.a "server"), allows the client to
make information concerning its business, operations, products and services
widely available over the Internet to other Internet users. Typically, BurstNET™
provides the high-end computers where our clients' Web site information is stored on a
shared basis with other clientele. Larger clientele may opt for a whole computer system
dedicated to provide their needs for large capacity usage and higher visitor traffic.
For clientele with the resources and knowledge to provide/operate their own
computer equipment and software, BurstNET™ offers facility space leasing,
providing them with space to house their equipment, in our Network Data Center.
Finally, BurstNET™ offers an expanding menu of extra features and add-ons, such as
E-Commerce (Enabling our clients to conduct transactions with their customers and
vendors over the Internet), Domain Name Registration Services (Providing
www.yourname.com addresses), Nation-Wide Dial-Up & Regional Wireless and Dedicated Access (Internet connections),
and Reseller Services (Anonymous & branded backend marketing of BurstNET™ services).
BurstNET™ helps individuals and businesses establish a presence on the Internet
with low-cost solutions, and offers services that allow them to seamlessly migrate
to higher end services as their internet presence matures and expands.
BurstNET™ has pioneered the evolution of cost-effective Web hosting services,
and is known to provide the highest published bandwidth allowances in the virtual
hosting market. BurstNET™ offers comprehensive Web Hosting solutions, including
shared hosting, dedicated, and colocation services.
With innovations in control panel technology, and hosting package offerings,
BurstNET™ continues to stay one step ahead of the competition.
The high quality packages offered are considered some of the best values in the industry.
BurstNET™ prides itself with a high level of technical support presented to clients.
Case in point: The company was one of the first hosting firms to offer real-time
ICQ & AIM Messaging and Chat support services. BurstNET™ is one of the few hosting
firms to offer both Unix & Windows NT™ solutions.
The company's data backup and storage methods allow for quick recovery in the
form of daily, weekly and monthly files in case of data loss.
All BurstNET™ equipment and servers are owned by the company and housed in the state
of the art BurstNET™ Network Operations Center (NOC) in Scranton PA, USA. There are thousands of
Web Hosting companies in the industry, mostly smaller firms, but very few actual Data Centers.
BurstNET™ is one of a handful of Web Hosting companies that actually owns and maintains
its own Data Center.
Along with our end-user/retail clientele, the company has an extensive network of
resellers and web developers that market BurstNET™ services. Many Web Hosting
companies private label BurstNET™ services to provide their own line of Web Hosting
and Internet solutions. BurstNET™ is the back-end to many well-known firms in the
industry.
The International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts web hosting market yearly revenues increasing from $4.8 billion at the end of 2001
to nearly $20.8 billion by the end of 2006*. U.S. co-location hosting market will increase from nearly $1.2 billion in 2001 to more than
$2.6 billion in 2006*. Small to medium sized companies find an outsourced hosting solution more cost-effective, because they typically
lack the technology expertise, IT resources, capital, personnel, or ability to bear the time-to-market and operating risks to install, maintain
and monitor their own web servers and Internet connectivity. The cost to install and maintain a web server in-house for a business can
sometimes cost 100x that of an outsourced solution with a Web hosting company such as BurstNET™.
