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.

Ok, in this section don’t expect clean proper grammar as coming from my engineering background, English was not my strongest point. I will discuss the direction of rebel networks, rant about industry trends, talk about domain registrations, etc blah blah –

I might even talk about Football, Hockey, Soccer, golf - as  I am a bit of a sport junkie. You might learn about my cell phone, my thoughts of telecommunications company in Canada (THEY ARE ALL EVIL) and how and why we continue to add and acquire more space in data centers all around the globe - see how i jump around - LOL

I have been working on a blog for almost 2 years now, even now my first post was March 2008, now Sept 2008 I can say we really got this blog going now.

Nilesh, our new obtained SEO Expert has already assured me that we will have 200,000 subscribers to just Dom talk by end of the month

Dishan, Our Senior Tech Administor has told me he has extra servers on stand by to load balance since the blog will open the flood gate of traffic and put our servers and the entire Peer1 network to its knee’s. He will be using our monitoring tools to watch and shape traffic should it be required.

Randi, Mahesh, and Suhidha will make this mac theme of our blog look more like Rebel Networks in no time. although i suspect with all our projects that could be 2010 or even 2011.

Tom, also informed me that should we not have enought capacity in San Antonio - we can expand our Toronto Facility quickly at 151 Front Street. Tom is our 151 Toronto Technical Administrator and also does web design and programming, and also tech support- sort of the jack of many trades  - the utility guy

Frank, John, Mike - are all ready on live chat to help direct people to the dom talk section of the blog - in case (very rare) they cant find it. - Oh did you know that Frank, John, Mike handle our live chat and they do their shift work every 8 hours like clock work –

So, in all serious Rebel Networks is like a small family run business. I had a dream to start a web hosting company back in 1999, i didnt really start it until 2004. We are not a budget hosting company, and we not the expensive high end Managed Server company - We are in the middle. We offer rock solid web hosting, we secure our servers, we are a business focused hosting company.

In writing this post it dawned on me how much we have grown in the last 4 years.  When people told me i was crazy to invest my own personal money in starting this company. I knew that there was a place above the budget hosting companie and below the high end managed IT server companies. Since we have been having triple digit grow year over year  - we must be doing something right.

so this is the end of the first real post of Dom Talk - Hosting CEO - hope you enjoyed it!!

Ok, here we will talk about the web hosting industry, trends, where things are heading, and where we are going — STAY TUNED!!

i know you asked - when - whats taking so long - well our blog is now alive
