On May 4, 1999, in connection with the acquisition of Advanced Web Creations, Inc. Interliant issued 52,500 to Advanced Web Creations, Inc.,..... above from s1 Sometime back in 1994 three guys looking for a way to get into business for themselves first heard of this thing called the "web." Now, all they had to do was find something that other people would be interested in and would purchase from them online. Well after tossing around some ideas, nothing worthwhile, the idea of creating other people's web sites was mentioned. Well that was the beginning of Advanced Web Creations, Inc. (AWC). The business was formed in April 1995 as a part time experiment. The company was started on a "shoestring," all funding coming from credit cards. The focus was to create web sites for other companies and to maintain them on our server. In December of 1995 this became a full time responsibility so we left our current employment and began to try making a living on the Internet. Advanced Web Creations, Inc. soon saw that there was a growing demand for affordable domain name web site hosting. In early 1996, the company put together a team of computer professionals to find a solution for this demand. While most companies were charging $100.00 plus a month, Advanced Web Creations, Inc. was able to offer greater service and better support for only a fraction of that price. The company had such great success providing this service that we decided to shift our entire focus on web site hosting. Our goal is to become the one stop web hosting solution for companies large and small. We are regularly adding features to our hosting plan, and always upgrading our infrastructure to provide a level of service that is second to none. As of March 99, AWC has registered approximately 21,000 domain names with Internic and has over 40 class C domains serving its approximate 9,000 active customers. AWC has 24 webservers providing service to these customers. All servers are monitored 24 hours a day to ensure a balanced load across our network. In addition there is a server that acts as the primary nameserver, another which acts as an ftp server and mail relay and 3 dedicated RAID servers. We have multiple T-1 connections and a T-3 connection to the Internet through various ISP's. We are currently adding about 450 new domains a month and registering about 1000 for potential clients. Advanced Web Creations Inc. is now a leading Internet presence provider and has been selected as a Gold Premier ISP Partner with the Internic. awc.net
