Everybody loves a reason to celebrate so EasyStreet recently provided one for our colocation customers. Our first customer signed up for colocation in November 1998 so it gave us a reason to party! Many of our colocation customers joined us, including John Schmitt of OakTree Digital, who won our cool prize for the earliest colo customer to attend. (OakTree came on board in May of 1999.) Following is a picture of John receiving his award — The Internet Now in Handy Book Form. (We also gave him a nice bottle of Chardonnay from Holloran Vineyard Wines in West Linn. Bill Holloran, who owns the winery and is president of Content Management Associates, Inc., is also a long-time EasyStreet colocation customer.) Small world, huh?

John Schmitt from OakTree Digital became an EasyStreet colocation customer in May 1999.

Thank you to all of our loyal EasyStreet customers — colocation and otherwise.

Celebrating 10 years of colocation services with many of our colo customers.

Just a quick post, but something you might find of interest. It seems one small hosting firm called McColo Corp. has been responsible for a huge quantity of the world’s spam. After the e-plug was pulled by McColo’s Internet providers, worldwide spam levels fell by roughly 66 percent according to email security firm IronPort. Other spam watchdogs report similar findings.
