Steadfast Networks, a leading Chicago-based data center and dedicated server hosting provider, announced today its acquisition of The New York NOC hosting provider. Acquisition of The New York NOC allows Steadfast Networks to continue its expansion in the Northeast region of the US by offering dedicated server, colocation, and VPS hosting services to customers in New York and surrounding areas.

“To continue our growth, we decided to acquire a hosting company in New York that focuses on dedicated server, colocation, and VPS hosting,” said Karl Zimmerman, CEO of Steadfast Networks. “Although we already offered colocation hosting services in New York, acquiring The New York NOC gives us better economies of scale by allowing us to offer more services and reduced pricing for the New York hosting market.”
Steadfast Networks has been offering colocation hosting services out of the New York metro area since Q3 2009. The acquisition of The New York NOC enables Steadfast Networks to continue growth throughout the US by offering new locations and services. The New York NOC provides dedicated server hosting, colocation hosting, VPS hosting, and content delivery network (CDN) services, enabling Steadfast Networks to expand its offerings to more customers in the Northeast region of the US.

“The purchase of The New York NOC helps Steadfast Networks to firmly establish a presence in the New York metro area, where we only previously offered colocation hosting services,” said Zimmerman. “The New York NOC acquisition also offers Steadfast Networks customers additional options for geographic hosting distribution and redundancy.”

In addition to colocation hosting services, dedicated server hosting, and VPS hosting services, Steadfast Networks can now include content delivery network (CDN) services as part of its hosting portfolio. Steadfast Networks and The New York NOC powered content delivery network services are ideal for websites that host large amounts of content to be distributed in multiple locations around the world.

“Steadfast Networks has established itself as a leading network for hosting services including colocation hosting, dedicated server hosting, and is quickly becoming a leading game server provider,” said Zimmerman. “Now with the ability to extend our dedicated and colocation hosting services to include content delivery network services, we can utilize our existing network infrastructure in multiple places to ensure content is readily available to our customers’ end users.”

With Steadfast Network’s acquisition of The New York NOC, New York website hosting customers will have access to better support, faster responses, and more service offerings. The New York NOC now has the resources to become a leading hosting company in New York.

1&1 Internet, Inc., the world’s largest Web host by known servers, today released a logo that customers can use to promote that their website is eco-friendly.

According to recent surveys, website owners may see a boost in online business by displaying the “Green Logo.” The ‘SMB Green Study,’ conducted by WIRED Magazine and Vision Critical of some 543 U.S. adults found that a green-powered website may be a deciding factor when selecting which retailer to purchase from. The study shows that over 60 percent of American consumers admit to being swayed to purchase from an online shop if the website identifies itself as using green energy. In fact, 70 percent said they would respond positively to a green logo.

1&1 encourages customers to join the 1&1 green movement by using the logo on their website. The “Green Logo” can be downloaded from the Marketing Center of the 1&1 Control Panel or from the 1&1 Image Archive (http://press.1and1.com/xml/images).

Recently, 1&1 announced that its Lenexa, Kansas Data Center has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Green Power Partner for its continued efforts to protect the environment.

In 2008, 1&1’s 55,000 square foot data center in Lenexa, Kansas became fully green-certified by Green-e, in cooperation with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. The facility delivers on its promise to offset 100 percent of its used energy with renewable energy certificates. With all of 1&1’s worldwide data centers powered by green energy, 1&1 is the first globally green Web host amongst today’s providers.
