Info

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 50,000 domains worldwide, on the 1000+ 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 Yankee Group forecasts Web hosting revenues will increase from $4.4 billion in 1999 to $14.4 billion in 2003**. 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.
