Hi,

I just found this Article in the newest Netcraft.com Newsletter, its nothing big but I thinked it may be Interesting for one or other:

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Two hosters highlight profitability

Two dedicated servers companies, both based in Texas and with similar sounding names, have highlighted their profitability in a largely unprofitable industry. [27] Rackspace recently [28] announced a year of continuous profitability. [29] Everyones Internet, owner of dedicated hoster [30] Rackshack [31] announced a fifth consecutive quarter of growth in revenue and net income.

The two companies are finding success with two different messages. Rackspace highlights its "Fanatical support", while Rackshack terrifies its competitors with frigteningly low prices. However both companies have [32] dropped Cobalt from their offerings, in common with several other leading hosting industry companies, including [33] Dialtone Internet. Rackshack's decision comes relatively shortly after it made the [34] largest ever single purchase of Cobalt machines in December 2001.
