A synopsis on linux web hosting

linux web hosting resources

Even though I was assured that everything will be done

with ease, and smoothly, and it seemed to go well, after

all - it didn’t. Several of the IP addresses suddenly

went dead on my sites, and the sites with them.

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:55:00 -0400

Some M&A info from the NCC files for December 2007 - Not all inclusive but interesting...

Madrid, Spain - Private equity firms The Carlyle Group and Mercapital acquired Spanish Web hosting and domain registrar Arsys (arsys.net) for about $230 million. 550,000 domains registered, 170,000 customers and 250 employees.

San Francisco, CA - Digital Realty Trust acquired two European data centers; Cressex 1 in London, England 51,000 sq/ft and Naritaweg 52 in Amsterdam, Netherlands - 63,000 sq/ft.

San Mateo, CA - Garnett & Helfrich Capital purchased MTI Europe in a court-supervised auction. MTI offers the managed services, data storage, protection and collocation services.

Montreal, Canada - HostingDiscussion.com acquired and merged with HostingRefuge.com and TalkWebHosts.com

Macomb, IL - McDonough Telephone Cooperative (MDTC) acquiring Infobahn Outfitters a web hosting and web design company.

Suwanee, GA — Quality Technology Services, a provider of data center and managed services, acquired the customer base of First National Technology Solutions in Kansas City. QualityTech will boost its annual revenues over $100 million with the deal.

Lancashire UK - Red Fox Hosting acquired AGUK Hosting, managed and exchange hosting services

Herndon, VA - SWsoft acquired WebHost Automation Ltd. (Bristol, U.K.) maker of the Helm control panel and billing software for Windows - 1.5 million worldwide end users.

London, UK - UK-2 Group, Ltd acquired Dan Ushman’s Chicago based midPhase Services Inc.’s shared and VPS businesses. Dan keeps his fingers in the pie as he works his way up the food chain - why? UK-2 will collocate the acquired assets at SingleHop, Inc, a company owned and operated by Zak Boca and Dan Ushman. (High 5 on that one!)

My favorite acquisition of the month:
Chatswood NSW Australia - Broadcast Australia entered into an agreement to acquire Hostworks Group Limited a full service dedicated/managed colo company in a $68.9 million transaction. Each firm’s competencies complement each other – actually/really – synergistic - Check out the links to see what I mean. This is a great marriage – also the deal is a 37% premium to the latest closing price of Hostworks shares.

The UK and its past and related domains were busy in December.

I just thought I’d share this little tidbit of fun I just had with my cable internet provider. Here’s a bit of the back story:

Last night my husband logged into his laptop and it came up with a big yellow/blue screen saying he had spyware. There was no link, just big giant letters saying he ...]

Lunarpages vs HostICan

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:50:12 +0000
Both HostIcan and Lunarpages have a lot in common in terms of hosting plans and features they offer. However, there are a few differences if you look beneath the surface.

After contacting them we were told to buy ourselves a reseller hosting

but we didn’t want to do that as their prices were almost 3 times more

that they were with EartHoster. We already had lost 2 annual payments

as you can understand from above, for both accounts that disappeared

on us. So we wrote back and asked for refund as this was not what we

were looking for. They also had money back guarantee, or so we thought.

Oosah announced a web-based platform for organizing and sharing photos, videos, and music. Through Oosah, consumers can centralize management of media content from multiple Web sites, including social networking, and photo and video hosting sites. Developers can also use Oosah to create branded rich media widgets. Booth #LT10

Writing all this on linux web hosting can be considered an obligation to us. This is because we felt obligated on imparting all this knowledge we knew about linux web hosting.
