February 21, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider SingleHop (singlehop.com) announced on Tuesday it is providing servers and complete dedicated managed hosting services to nonpartisan media organization Free Press (freepress.net).
The Web hosting provider says it has partnered with Free Press to aid in its attempt to preserve net neutrality. Free Press says its message is being delivered through its Web site, as well as Savetheinternet.com.
According to the Free Press Web site, “Congress is being pushed to abandon the First Amendment of the Internet, a principle called net neutrality that preserves the free and open Internet.” The media organization has posted an online petition to gather signatures that are sent to Congress to voice the opinions of those in opposition and its Web site states that global public control of the Internet is being challenged by major communications companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
“This is probably one of the most critical times for the Internet and we are going to do everything that we can to insure that this important message is disseminated to as many people as possible,” says Zak Boca, president of SingleHop.
