We are already a few months into 2010 and its time that we provide some updates on things we are working on and doing.

1) A new expanded Data Center in Toronto - As you can see here our corporate blog is growing and now fully developed. Our intent is to keep customers informed about events, actives, spot light customers, make it fun and enjoyable to read. Over the course of the year we will update this blog daily. We will also start allowing comments to be posted to articles starting some time in February 2009.

2) Exchange and Bes moving to Canada: One unified billing and provisioning platform for all our customers and the ability to pay in US or Canadian Dollars and British pounds without any conversations. We will also add the ability to  accept annual payments in almost all countries currencies. The price will be based on a US dollar price and a conversion fee at the time of payment.

3) Introduction of VMS: Although we will say Spring of 2009, we continue to evaulate virtual private servers as a viable soluiton and offering. Over the years, we have found that most providers over use those resources, thus provding cheap VMS or VPS and the net result is poor service and uptime, etc. We are investigating some new tools which could help in delivering VMS solutions at competative rates with the normal uptime and stability that RebelNetworks offers.

4) More strategic partnerships: We will be partnering with our customers, new vendors and suppliers and we intend to pass some of those savings onto our existing customers. This could mean discounts from Dell Worldwide, discount for joining certain groups, etc - watch for them through the year.

5) Strategic Partnerships : We want to share the wealth and have simplified our affiliate marketing program to single payments and made them maybe the best in the industry. The reality is if every customer referred one customer over to us the payout migtht mean we would be a free web hosting provider for 1 year. We really dont have an issue with that.  If you would like to  join our affilaite program - just go to: http://www.rebelnetworks.com/affiliates.htm

Now where we are, we we have been and we where we are heading:

We started in 2005 with a server in a data center in baltimore maryland, the first year we has successfull business grade web hosting accounts, In 2006 we purchased a few hosting companies and expanded and moved all our servers to Texas, USA.  Where we are today? Since that first server in 2005 we have grown to now manage 1oo’s of servers  and we have them accross multiple datacenters in the USA, Canada and the UK. We are not a cheap take all hosting company so the quality of service, the uptime, the stability of our servers is second to none. We also own only 3 servers, all others are leased. Our policy is to replace them every 18 -36 months, we do this to keep our customers on the newest equipment and operating at efficiecency. When you see a note that the web hosting company owns those servers just think of people that own that 10 year old car, dumping money in to keep it running, we simply return the keys to dell every 18 - 36 months and set up a new one.

So enjoy the year ahead no matter how tough it might be, enjoy our blog and our site and our service.
