    gigenet's llc was revoked

    So, as a result of discussion concerning today's GigeNET outage I couldn't help but notice that GigeNET's LLC was revoked.

    Do you think this is related to today's outage? I don't see why the fire department would demand a shutdown of the entire DC, plus they claim to have VESDA so this seems really fishy to me.

    I highly doubt it's related to the outage. It looks like it was revoked back in January.

    May be change of brand or may be change of business setup. Outage might not be caused due to business setup anyway..

    When smoke is detected from electrical equipment, most fire departments standard policy is to have the main power feed turned off to investigate. Last thing they want is to have a secondary fire started by the original cause, or fire personal injured/killed while they investigate.

    Id suggest getting out of the conspiracy theories direction your heading down..

    Well, Gigenet is an assumed name from looking at that LLC revoked image kaniini posted.

    As far as I'm aware, all businesses must have their assumed names registered with the county clerks office where they are based.

    Gigenet's datacenter and offices appear to be in Cook County, IL

    Searching Gigenet on https://assumednames.cookcountyclerk.com/public/search returns nothing for me.

    So, it would seem Gigenet is currently operating illegally and has been since January since they are trading under an assumed name that isn't registered with the county their business is based from and operates from.

    I could be wrong of course, I'm not specifically familiar with how Illinois law works. This would greatly worry me if I was a Gigenet customer however.

    Hopefully someone from Gigenet will post here and clarify their current situation.

    Hello!

    I am new to WHT, but I have been handling Accounting & Human Resources with Gigenet.com for over 4 years. This is my first WHT post but I felt it important that I address this thread directly.

    I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I personally completed the form and cut the check for our LLC renewal at the beginning of this year, so this is certainly a puzzle to me. I've gone back into our records and even confirmed that the check was cashed, so there is an issue at hand that we certainly need to work out with the state department as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it is beyond their business hours for today but I will be calling first thing tomorrow to remedy this situation. Again, I do appreciate this, because we would not have known of this error without your diligence.

    As a GigeNET employee, I'd also like to take a moment to assure that we will have this resolved, as it is now my number one priority to ensure that our business is in good standing. We are alive and well and plan to continue in the hosting business for many years to come.

    I checked today and GigeNET's LLC is still not in good standing. Can you provide us with an update on the current situation?

    Hi kaniini!

    I contacted the Secretary of State department, and after the resolution was found, I was told that it takes an average of 7-10 business days to process and have our status updated in the system. I have been checking in everyday for the status update, as well!

    How soon is soon? It is now 3 weeks after I opened the thread back up, and it's still revoked.

    I'm missing the point of this; it is a matter between Gigenet and the state. The revoked LLC does not impact their ability to serve customers.

    I was under the impression that a revoked LLC means that the company isn't permitted to do business in the state. Are you aware of something that says otherwise?

    It means that Gigenet needs to work it out with the state. Its not something anyone on WHT needs to get worked up over.

    Yea, because a company selling their services to the WHT community, a company that is potentially operating illegally, a company that might get shut down by the authorities at any moment for operating illegally, that's no big deal to people on WHT.

    /sarcasm

    If nothing else, the fact that nobody at Gigenet noticed this for nearly a year would greatly concern me. Is there anything else have they forgotten to take care of?

    I have nothing against Gigenet personally - if ANY company was in this kind of situation, particularly a company I do business with, I would want to know about it, and I would be greatly concerned about it.

    Also, as to why this should concern the WHT community.

    Anyone who has entered into a contract with Gigenet for service, I would guess under the law all contracts with Gigenet are null and void since Gigenet legally doesn't exist.

    Can Gigenet legally enforce their Terms of Service?

    Is Gigenet largely immune from lawsuits since they don't exist?

    What about people that are under long term contracts for colocation? Are those still enforceable?

    As far as I'm aware, in legal terms an LLC or an INC is a "person" under the law. If that is so, then when you LLC or INC lapses the "person" dies effectively.

    You're looking at the wrong place. You're looking under a DBA/Assumed Business Name with the county, which isn't always necessary for a registered company. You register DBAs with your county; create corporations in the state of your choice.

    Further, Gigenet is registered in Delaware, presumably for tax purposes. They're legal, as my screenshot below shows. This could've been easily cleared up, if someone would've just looked in the first screenshot where it shows Gigenet as a foregin LLC registered in the state of Delaware.

    In other words Terry, this thread and the attempt at creating drama was unnecessary?

    Wow who would have thought?

    I am glad Gigenet did the right thing and mostly ignored it.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Your screenshot below shows absolutely nothing. It just shows that a corporation was registered at some point in time in Delaware. You would have to view the Certificate/Statement of Good Standing (which must be ordered via mail) to see if they are currently legit or not.

    You can receive the status online:

    more detailed information including current franchise tax assessment, current filing history

    If you'd like, you can pay the $10 to check on the status. It's actually under "digital management partners, llc." I took a screen shot of the wrong company.

    I plan to buy a few beers with my $10, as gigenet has always acted in good faith before. I doubt anything has changed, and it'll all be cleared up in a few.

    Right...like I said, your screenshot shows absolutely nothing, contrary to what you wanted everybody to believe.

    I don't care about their status one way or another, personally. Just noting that your thread-ending earth-shattering breakthrough isn't quite what you said it was.

    And no, it's not under Digital Mangement Partners. While they may be related, in fact owned by Digital... they are two completely separate legal entities. You can't have a LLC doing business as a INC. or what have you. For legal purposes, they are 2 separate entities.

    Lol, 80% of the "companies" selling services on WHT probably aren't "legal". Just because the ownership structure of a particular provider along with the accompanying licensing doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it's not legit.

    Nothing to see here. Move along.
