CyberSharks.Net
was started in 1997 by a web developer who was in
need of a reliable place to host his websites. He
was hosting with different companies in 1997 but
most had an unreliable network or the customer
support was so bad he could not get anything done.
So in 1998 he ordered his first web server and added
an internet connection through the local telephone
company. He then continued to build web sites and
place them on his own servers.
Then people started
calling him to host their sites because of bad
service at other hosting providers. So
CyberSharks.Net web hosting had begun.
CyberSharks.Net was first started in one room of
an old
house
off the beaten path in Greenville, NC. From there we
moved into a townhouse located just outside the
city. We designated one room to be our server room
and that quickly filled up so we expanded into other
rooms of the townhouse telling ourselves each time
that room would never fill up with servers. But soon
the whole townhouse was full of web servers, window
air conditioners, and staff, and we had no power left to
plug in one more web server and no room to put one
more employee. So in 2002 we got down to designing
our new facility from scratch.
We toured other data centers, received input from
customers, hired consultants, and spoke to all of
our employees to see what they would want in a
new facility. After months of consideration we
decided on a 5000 square feet facility housing
everything under one roof with with plenty of room
for future growth and with plans to expand. In
August of 2003 CyberSharks.Net broke ground for the
future and by late April of 2004 the facility was finally
ready to move into.
CyberSharks.Net offers cutting-edge web hosting
and development with the latest
internet technologies
a vailable,
including Microsoft® Windows
2003® and Linux servers. CyberSharks.Net hosts
thousands
of web sites world wide. Our customers are fortune
500 companies to the smallest of companies and
include names like Pepsi, PGA, and Yale. Unlike other
internet service providers who offer internet access
as well as web hosting and development, CyberSharks.Net only offers
web hosting and development.
The reason for this is because
traditional ISP's create too much server traffic and
unmanageable bandwidth that make web sites
unreachable or difficult to access. CyberSharks.Net
is fast, affordable, and reliable web hosting and
development. We pride
ourselves in that fact that web sites hosted on our
servers are available 99.9.% of the time.
CyberSharks.Net understands how to make the Internet
work. Being a Web Presence Provider, there is a
continuous cycle of maintaining complex servers,
combating bugs, and eliminating problems before they
happen. It takes more than just setting up a bunch
of web servers and software and turning it all on.
You can feel safe knowing that your hosting and
development is at CyberSharks.Net with caring
personnel that want to see your internet dream come
true.
The CyberSharks.Net facility was designed to work through any type of
situation that could arise: the first of which, we run
BGP4 on our Cisco Routers that allows us to bring
in more than one internet provider such as AT&T,
Sprint, SBC Global and so on. So if we were to lose
a carrier your
web site will continue to run unaffected. The
facility also runs redundant back up battery
supplies in the event of a power failure and will
also utilize
an on site generator power plant that can run the
entire facility with out interruptions
indefinitely.
The HVAC system is all software driven
and is redundant as well so in the event of a HVAC
failure the next unit will come online to keep the
facility cooled at 68 degrees in our data center.
This is monitored on and off the premises. The HVAC
software then alerts the HVAC company on call to
come out 24 hours a day to fix any issues. The
facility also contains
an elaborate security system that contains cam eras,
access control, and sensors to monitor the entire
facility and grounds 24 hours a day.
The facility
also creates a great working environment for our
employees by giving them a game room, X-Box, LCD TV's
mounted throughout the facility, on site kitchen,
shower facilities, and large grounds to hit golf
balls, play a pick up game of tag football or just
relaxing by riding our company golf cart around our
6.5 acre grounds. The facility also offers several meeting
rooms to discuss ideas on new technologies, site
development, and speaking with clients.
CyberSharks.Net has come along way from its
beginnings.

with our
customers on a
one to one basis. We like our customers to call and
chat with us, ask questions about upcoming projects,
express input in technology, because at CyberSharks.Net every customer is part of our
family. This is why at CyberSharks.Net you get a
