This is interesting. Other ISPs who use FreeBSD, please take heed of this fine example of how to craft a mutually beneficial plug.. :-) - Jordan ------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 16:27:05 -0400 (EDT) From: Tim G <timg@pair.com> To: jkh@FreeBSD.org Subject: Press Release [Attention: Business/Technology Editors] Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.96.990727161923.14131B-100000@smx.pair.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi, My name is Tim Gaichas and I work for pair Networks in Pittsburgh. We recently sent the press release below to all of the Pittsburgh Media. It might be worth pointing out on your web site or in future press releases that the largest independent Web host in the World is 100% FreeBSD from Web servers to employee work stations. If you have any interest in working together on any PR in the future please let me know. Thanks, Tim G :-> - ------ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tim Gaichas pair Networks (412) 681-6940 (private number -- DO NOT PUBLISH) fax (412) 681-6945 timg@pair.com http://www.pair.com PGH'S LARGEST IPP HITS NEW MILESTONE pair Networks Now Hosts Over 60,000 Web Sites from 145 Countries Pittsburgh, Penn. -- July, 27, 1999 -- pair Networks, Inc., the World's largest independently owned and operated paid hosting service, today announced it has surpassed the 60,000 Web site milestone. Tens of thousands of businesses in 145 countries utilize pair Networks' hosting services for e-commerce, marketing of products and services, online databases, and the global exchange of information. President and CEO Kevin Martin's business philosophy is to be honest with his customers and provide the absolute most scalable and reliable Web hosting services available anywhere for a fair price. His philosophy has paid off. pair Networks has tripled its customer base every year since 1996 and has become the World's largest independent IPP (Internet Presence Provider) with significant online advertising and positive word of mouth. "We're very pleased with our continued growth," states Martin. "Since our founding in 1995, customer demand has been strong and steady." While most IPP's try to offer every possible service associated with the Internet, Martin decided to focus on high quality, wholesale web hosting from the very beginning. "We wanted to do one thing and do it very well; it has really paid off." Most large scale web hosting companies cater to small and medium size business so that they can provide services to as many customers as possible without having to worry about the integrity of their networks or service upgrades. pair Networks has adopted a more long term view of Web hosting and provides a complete upgrade path for any size business. pair's web servers and network have been engineered to serve a full range of customer's Web sites and are capable of supporting up to tens of millions of hits per day. (hit = 1 web browser request for a Web page, image, or other document transferred over the Internet) "Our network is one of our strongest points," said Martin. "Taking advantage of diverse paths and the private peering of our backbone providers, we're able to consistently provide faster paths to most destinations on the Internet than a typical singly-connected provider." Four full DS-3 circuits provide external connectivity to pair's network, via three different backbone providers (a fourth will be added in October). The local network benefits from fully switched Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and is driven entirely by products from Extreme Networks and Cisco, industry leaders in routing and switching. In addition to a world class network, pair operates only the fastest Pentium II and Pentium III Web servers, which run the stable and powerful FreeBSD operating system in order to ensure maximum uptime and reliability.
