January 18 2004–Straight2You Communications, Inc., a leading provider of Internet Services, announced it has expanded its ASP offerings, sources tell XSP News. While the market for Web and Application Hosting continues to consolidate, NY-based Straight2You has done what few other ISP’s do well - and that’s expand upon an offering for support of both Shared and Managed Web Hosting and ASP Services. During the peak of the dot-com era - many ISP’s entered into the world of Web Hosting with high hopes of expanding their product portfolio and delivering augmenting services, all aimed at capturing additional bandwidth revenues.
Believe it or not, commercials don’t tell you everything you need to know about backup. Read on and discover what the corporate shills don’t tell you in thirty seconds.
Look around today however and you will see few ISP’s standing - let alone maintaining revenues in the world of Web Hosting. In trying to be “all things” many ISP’s took on core competencies ill-suited for the traditional telecom, such as complex support for operating systems, application development, maintenance and complimentary security. Providing Shared and Managed Hosting in fact was such a pipedream that many companies (Epoch Internet) have either faded out of the market entirely and/or returned back to their roots as a provider of low-cost and now commercialized T1’s. What has captured the attention of XSP News, is that while Web Hosting giants fall like trees in the woods (Digex, Genuity, Data Return et al), few companies can claim the breadth of product offering as Straight2You where customers still favor a “one-stop shop” mentality. Companies such as Topps, About.com, and Brooks Brothers - all use Straight2You’s Communication “Site Operations Platform”, (SOP), a comprehensive managed services solution for organizations that demand a reliable, scalable, and secure Internet site infrastructure.
These aren’t small companies - check the names again. Each involved with heavy transactional e-Commerce selling of goods and services, these firms all demand an assurance for an “always on” data environment. Anthony Cundiff CEO of Straight2You states “We have a solid Web Hosting business, and as we are very well-referenced, our clients have come know our reputation as a provider of affordable, yet fully-featured solutions”. The company offers a Shared Hosting platform of Linux, .NET, Cold Fusion and E-Commerce environments , while the Fully Managed Solution provides a 99.999% Network uptime guarantee, 99.9% Application-level uptime guarantee, Windows 2000 Server OS hardened for security, Technical Support, Server Administration, Advanced Distributed Server Monitoring.
