Livin’ In A Hosting Paradise: 2010 at a glance
2010 was an amazing year for ServInt and its clients.
Despite a less-than-ideal economic climate we managed to grow substantially and further improve the core focus of our business, managed support. We doubled the size of our Managed Services Team, moved into a new Network Operations Center, gave away copious amount of free disk space to our VPS and SuperVPS clients, and tripled our network capacity.
But a straightforward recap would be boring, so this year I thought we’d have a little fun. I should mention that the piece below this went through several drafts prior to publication, if I get hounded enough I MIGHT consider posting earlier uncompleted drafts. I can assure you, this was the best among them (and that’s not saying much!).
Now, without further ado, I present to you:
Hosting Paradise
(To the tune of “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio)
As we walk through valley of the tech corridor
We take a look at the web,
And it looks like Mt. Mordor,
‘Cause we’ve been hostin’ and postin’ so long
That even our mommas think that our network’s strong.
But we ain’t never crossed a site that didn’t deserve it,
We be treated like a punk, with uptime that’s unheard of,
You better watch how you’re talking, and where you’re walking,
Because you and your homies might be required to knock,
On the door to our new future-proofed NOC,
See our folks park themselves in new cubicle oak, fool,
We’re the kinda hoster little homies want our poster,
With the best engineers.
[Chorus]
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
Mobile applications, Android fragmentation,
Geeks can’t live a normal life, there’s no parking on the street,
So we gotta be down with telecommuting,
Too much hulu watching got us all chasing streams.
We’re an educated crew with our new Solo Line
Get a gigabit port and watch your content fly high.
We’re grok’d out gangstas, bit-trippin’ h4xx0rz
Our homies aren’t ever down so don’t arouse our anger, fool.
IPv6 ain’t but a heartbeat away,
We livin’ life do or die, what can we say?
We’re 15 now, and we’re set for many more,
The way things are going fo’ sho’.
Can you believe?
The generosity?
For all to see!
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
Power and the cooling, cooling and the power,
More efficient hardware, hour after hour,
Every server’s running, but at half the wattage
We met our green goals this year
They say you wanna learn,
and KickStart is here to teach, see.
If you need more help, open tickets and you’ll reach me,
You know you can,
Ask for help man,
We’re all upfront,
That’s why we try to be helpful, fool!
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
We’ve been ServInt most our lives
Living in a hosting paradise.
Can you believe?
The generosity?
For all to see!
We increased by three,
Our largest increase,
In history.
[Outro]
That, friends and Romans, is that.
Happy New Year from all of us at ServInt!
Explaining ServInt’s New KickStart Team
When I started at ServInt more than six years ago, one of the first lessons I learned was just how critical first impressions were to the customer experience. ServInt’s new Kickstart Team, a division of our Managed Services Team, is committed to making hosting a website as painless a process as possible. Here’s a little background on who we are and why we do what we do.
