Singapore - (The Hosting News) - November 2, 2005 - Singapore-based web hosting provider, 8 to Infinity Pte Ltd, will celebrate its 9th year in the web hosting business on November 3, 2005.

The company is a survivor of the Dot Com crash and has not only survived but thrived in the competitive Internet web hosting industry.

8 to Infinity has grown from a budget web hosting provider to a niche web hosting company providing a specialized range of services such as dedicated and managed web hosting, and load balanced systems.

The company's main infrastructure is located in Singapore with clients all over the world utilizing their infrastructure to service users in Asia. Other services provided by 8 to Infinity include datacenter design and forensic computing. The company has grown from one person to a team of certified personnel each of whom are experts in their respective fields.

Lim Boon Chuan, Chief Technical Officer of 8 to Infinity commented on the 9 year milestone, ''We started out with a modem and a Pentium 100 computer for customer support. Web hosting was bought as a reseller package from the U.S.A. From the start, a lot of detractors predicted our demise. Some even spread rumours that we were hosting on 56k modems with a computer located in my house which was a government subsidised housing flat. The problem with that lie was that I had never lived in a government subsidised housing flat before.''

8 to Infinity has not looked back since, and has grown dramatically, now owning their own office as well as maintaining about 200 servers with an estimated 50,000 users all over the world.

Lim Boon Chuan concluded, ''We will continue to leverage our niche skills and the economy of scale which our large user base offers to grow new service areas as well as to continually improved upon our existing services. 8 to Infinity is in the process of developing its own in house R and D for better services and products which can be a better fit to the existing company's operations in the months to come.''
