Can anyone give me little bit more information about www.hostnoc.net
I talked to them and this what they said to me

hostnoc.net is an anonymous domain for the reseller's usage of a popular
hosting company.
We cannot supply the name of our company, due to this reason.
The whole purpose of this anonymous domain, is to get our reseller's more
business, not take potential clients away from them.

HOSTNOC

Does anyone knows which company is this Alabanza, cybercon, dialtone or..........
:D

I believe that is BurstNET :)

Are you asking who Alabanza, Cybercon, and Dialtone are? These are all large web hosts with their own data center facilites.

You can find out more through their web sites:

What I can't understand is why they are being so coy about whois they are?

I checked whois on opensrs and the info for hostnoc is:

DNS1.BURST.NET 66.96.194.2

As you can see by the nameserver IP's, they are from the same blocks.

Hostnoc=burstnet

its to protect people from finding out someone is a reseller for burst.net...

if you were a reseller for burst.net, would you rather use burst.net's dns servers where someone can goto burst.net and sign up themselves or hostnoc.net where there is no webpage.

This is common practice.

We use the domain srv2.com for name servers and for naming our servers, like green.srv2.com.

This allows us to offer resellers, secure server certificates and name servers which are one step away from us.
The certs are registered to our real company name which is not the name we trade under for web hosting.

Its also useful for us because we have several brands and can run the same name servers across them all.

I must say, I find the reseller part of our industry to be very confusing.

if you were a reseller for burst.net, would you rather use burst.net's dns servers where someone can goto burst.net and sign up themselves or hostnoc.net where there is no webpage.

But I get it now, I think. Hostnoc.net's nameservers are the nameservers for use by the reseller hosts of burstNET who aren't running their own nameservers, or who are reselling shared hosting space.

But I think that, whoever it is, they are giving about the worst answer there could be to those queries. Basically saying "we can't tell you who we really are" sounds evasive, and will inevitably create suspicions in the mind of anyone investigating one of their resellers.
