ServInt Company Backgrounder

Company Overview

ServInt is a pioneering provider of high-reliability web hosting for business customers worldwide. Founded in Northern Virginia in 1995, ServInt was one of the first web-hosting companies to offer a managed, dedicated server solution. From its world-class data centers, ServInt now provides its scalable suite of Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Enterprise-level server options to thousands of customers in more than 60 countries.

ServInt’s commitment to Green IT and environmental sustainability are reflected in its flagship service offering, SuperVPS. ServInt uses multiple "Green" methodologies to serve clearly defined sustainability goals, including reducing waste, boosting energy efficiency and carbon-footprint offsetting. ServInt is also a leader in ISP philanthropy, offering free web hosting, e-mail and Internet training to hundreds of nonprofit organizations through its ServInt FreeNet.

ServInt’s Flagship Service: SuperVPS

Many businesses that successfully leverage service providers for web hosting now understand they no longer need a dedicated server to run their applications. ServInt’s SuperVPS is a more reliable, more powerful alternative to the traditional, entry-level managed dedicated server. SuperVPS is a highly redundant, enterprise-class hosting solution with ample resources and an easy upgrade path.

SuperVPS provides the ultimate in scalability by offering a layered approach as a business grows. It also allows burstable usage, providing more flexibility than a low-end machine at a fraction of the cost of a comparable server-class dedicated server.

ServInt has partnered with Parallels, the makers of Virtuozzo Containers, to offer a superior VPS platform. The use of Virtuozzo containers ensures that a true commercial-grade system is behind every ServInt VPS account. These systems provide the perfect complement to ServInt’s high-quality hardware, network and managed-services team. (Parallels became a ServInt SuperVPS customer in 2007.)

SuperVPS also serves as the finest example of ServInt’s commitment to Green IT. SuperVPS provides customers with root access to their server while consuming 85 percent less power. This is made possible because up to eight customers can share a single server.

SuperVPS supports environmental sustainability goals by featuring: low per-capita energy consumption through efficient virtualization; Dell low-voltage server hardware; carbon-footprint offsetting through large-scale tree-planting campaigns, and; a commitment to 100 percent recycling of component hardware at end of life. SuperVPS is ideally suited for socially responsible, small and medium-size web-based companies seeking to operate their businesses with minimal impact on the environment.

The Foundation for ServInt’s Success:
Reliability, Security, Experience, Personal Service.

ServInt has built a loyal, global customer base by offering a wide range of scalable web-hosting solutions supported by personal service from experienced professionals.

To meet the needs of small businesses, large enterprises and multi-national corporations, ServInt offers a comprehensive portfolio of web-hosting solutions, including VPS, dedicated and enterprise-level server options. By offering the ability to start with a small server and increase resources such as memory and storage as needed, ServInt provides customers with attractive pricing and a smooth upgrade experience.

ServInt’s Managed Services include 24-hour support every day of the year by on-site, in-country experienced professionals at each of its data centers. From its Network Operations Center in McLean, Va., ServInt’s veteran technicians maintain and carefully monitor every segment of its network, from the programs running on the smallest server to its core routers and network connections. Each data center also features multi-level network and power redundancy for optimal reliability.

In an age where "automated" managed services are being introduced by numerous web-hosting providers, ServInt maintains its well-earned reputation for reliability by continuing to offer attention to detail and personal service that have become increasingly rare in the industry.
