- Delete, it's spam masquerading as an article. No significant independent references given and no found. Author is single-issue and works for the company. Haakon (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The trade sites cited as "references" are in fact blog-like[1], appear to regurgitate trivial press releases uncritically,[2], and just don't have the kind of readership needed to sustain a business as an encyclopedia subject.[3] It's too easy now for spammers to tart up their promotional pages with "references" of this sort. Hate to sound like a broken record, but until we require familiar and mainstream sources for tech businesses and their products, we're leaving our rear flank exposed. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 20:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Agree with the above, and there's nothing really encyclopedic in the article, I think the most encyclopedic part of the article mentions where the data centers are! The word "dedicated" is mentioned 2 or 3 times on the page and being such a short article makes me think this is just spam disguised as an article.

- Don't Delete - Article is objective as possible for a corporate brand, and consistent in content to other brands in this space such as ServerBeach and The Planet Internet Services. Do agree that article needs more references.--Prieur3 (talk) 18:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't Delete - Company is notable in it's industry due to length of time in operation and number of customers. - psostre (talk) 15:05, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
