12/06/2007 Stone Internet Services Wins Award

Stone Internet Services bvba, the hosting company behind 1-eurohost.com, receives the dns.be  'Best first year performer 2006 award'.

Stone Internet Services, a youg and dynamic hostingcompany from Gent, has won the coveted ‘Best first year performer award’ this year. That award, given by DNS.be, is a recognition for te great leaps forward the young internet company has made. Because let's be honest: hostingcompanies are shooting up like mushrooms, but only few of them last. One of the fortunate few is Stone Internet Services which clearly distinguishes itself from the average webhostingcompany.

What has Stone Internet Services done to deserve this? Stone Internet Services is mainly focused on the retail market and combines low pricing with excellent service: offering affordable and qualitative web- and mailservices to everybody, that is the strategy.

It worked: in 2005 this resulted in 35.649 domainnames registered with Stone Internet Services. This ranks the company

seventh in the list of companies that offer .be domainnames. Not impressive? Yes, it is. Because the first ten companies control more than half of all domainnames in Belgium. And, juicy detail, STONE brings in more domainnames than established names like Belgacom and Telenet. And they offer their webhostingservices directly to their broadband customers.

Stone Internet Services is looking towards the future: in 2007  Stone Internet Services wants to focus on smal companies ad one man businesses with an adjusted offer.

The company has already invested firmly in their own IP network, an extensive serverpark and dataspace in Diegem which offers the possibility to offer other services in future.

DNS.be is the Belgian administrator of the .be-domainnamespace. They take care of the registration of the domainnames, making internet more accessible and encouraging its use.
