A month ago we announced hAPI, a HTTP REST API with XML or JSON responses, and the exposure of some VoxCAST CDN functionality through this programmable interface. Since then, VoxCAST customers have eagerly adopted it, requested more and more features, and submitted their own PHP, Perl, and Python client code as examples for everyone else.

We’ve been really excited about the response hAPI has received, and how it simplifies tasks not only for our customers, but even within our own systems at Voxel. As we mentioned last month, the CDN API calls were just the beginning.

Now we’re ready to announce some hosting API methods for the rest of our customers.

Voxel’s new open source Apache web server module allows customers to seamlessly offload rich media content from hosted infrastructure onto the VoxCAST CDN

For Immediate Release

NEW YORK/EWORLDWIRE/Sep 16, 2008 — Voxel dot Net Inc. today announced that it will offer fully-integrated, premium on-demand content delivery network (CDN) services as part of its standard hosting offering – at no extra charge. Branding this new innovation as Universal Transfer, Voxel becomes the first hosting company to allow its clients to mix and match their high bandwidth needs between dedicated servers and a CDN. For new and existing hosting clients, Voxel believes this will dramatically simplify the decision-making process regarding current and future capacity needs.

Starting today, companies who know they need hosting – but still may not know when or if they may need a CDN – can benefit from flexible customized contracts, transparent pricing, and the ease of working with the experienced and professional team of engineers at Voxel.

It’s been 7 years since they pulled the plug on their first attempt at going public. In that time, they’ve gone from doing $7 million a year to $350 million a year. They have built a solid business by having a good product and world class support.

Last week, they went public, for real this time.

Today, they are a billion dollar company.

That’s nothing to sneeze at.

Managed hosting is loosely defined as a service where a customer’s Internet infrastructure is maintained and cared for by a Web hosting company. It can also be the ultimate smokescreen. Who knows what really goes on in the world of dark fiber and datacenters? The confusion surrounding the inner workings of this industry gives hosting companies the opportunity to dupe customers with fake promises. Unfortunately, this is common within the industry.

Re-Published from Pingdom

Content Delivery Networks help websites and services to deliver online content in an efficient manner. Since they act transparently behind the scenes, CDNs are often anonymous contributors to large online services.
