【微魔·百科】关于Prometeus与IperWeb的简介

上周五和大家分享了关于一家名为OverZold的VPS服务商，由于其和Prometeus和IperWeb有着千丝万缕的关系，因此，微魔在撰写相关文章的时候，在没有“调查清楚”的情况下，发表了关于“Prometeus是IperWeb下家”这样的不实言论，该言论得到了网友主机测评的严厉“批评”。微魔已经在原文做出了适当的修改，同时，为了方便大家，现利用Prometeus官网的About信息（我英语NB，不需要你翻译），分享（顺便纠正）关于这家的企业信息。

特别鸣谢近期给微魔部落“找茬”的各位细心读者，其中包括分享吧。微魔从来不排斥这些所谓的“竞争”性质的同类型博客，也不会吝惜所谓的外链，只是很多引用链接最后就变成了死链，让微魔总有一种“热脸贴到了冷屁股”的感觉，所以以后文章中的链接都采用external nofollow，虽然可能此标记无益于SEO，但是相信给大家引流量的目的应该可以达到了吧~

【微魔·唱高调】既然大家都标榜自己是“资源分享类”博客，就应该不吝惜的和大家分享拓展资源，即使是很不出名的个人博客，知识同样值得尊重，别被“一家独大”蒙蔽了双眼。另外，微魔也诚邀有志之士加入微魔部落的撰写工作中来，大家互勉！

【微魔·番外话】微魔其实最早和大家分享了关于这家域名的猜测，无论是否有关系，大家都可以充充电~

It all started simple enough. We opened our doors in 1997, with a single server used to host the web site for some of our clients. Prometeus, and the Internet, have come a long, long way since that day – but one thing remains the same, our dedication to customer satisfaction.
In the same year we registered the IperWeb domain to use for the web hosting business and on December 10, 1997, IperWeb incorporated in the USA as IperWeb L.L.C.

We are focused solely on high-quality, high-reliability Web services and professional consulting. Our network and servers are tuned specifically for maximum performance, and our policies ensure that we remain as efficient as possible. Note that we don’t provide Web design, marketing, or other value-added services. We leave these specialties to our resellers, and concentrate solely on Web hosting.

From time to time we use servers located all around the world, but since 2008 we decided to use only our own network and infrastructure and at the beginning of the 2009 we applied with RIPE to obtain Provider Independent IPv4 and IPv6 network addressing and our own Autonomous System (AS34971). Since April 2012 we are Local Internet Registry (LIR) and member of the RIPE NCC.

Since the second half of 2006, while maintaining the focus to budget and quality hosting, we started offering virtualized services (Xen, KVM and Vmware) and espanded our infrastructure to include a high performance, high reliable SAN infrastructure and multiple gigabit connections.
