Carolinas Network Company, DBA Carolinas.net, merged with Webhostn.com on 12-23-2010.

Webhostn.com specializes in managed and unmanaged VPS and Dedicated Servers utilizing the LITESPEED web server architecture (back end) and the InterWorx/SiteWorx web hosting manager platform (front end). After 15 years of ISP, IPP, Domain Name Registration, NOC Management, DC Management, and Server Management, our small group of veteran's finally found a combination works. More so, we communicate directly with developers of LITESPEED and INTERWORX ( these developer's don't forget their roots and truly know the meaning of "Synergy")

WebHostn.com

Least we not forget our forefathers that so freely provided us a hand-up in the 90's (yes you Carolina Internet and CETLINK)

In Conclusion, we would like to offer our official scale of NET diligence by way of the following definition:

(1) INTERNET PIONEER: pre-AOL days, this individual started as a "cable puller", coined the phrase "I hope this is my good OS install disk", and could tell you everything about T1's, T3's, and ISDN's. This person is part of the group who liberated end-users from AOL by offering 56k dial-ups before the telecommunication companies got in the connectivity game. There wasn't much on the net during this time. AltaVista was the net (literally). Yahoo's founders were in college beta-testing (provided their beta tester's weren't hooked on QUAKE I. Google was years away. FaceBook is younger than their children. Their experience is priceless. They do not place a value on their advice, they either offer it or they don't. (writer's note; I am fairly confident this group originated the phrase "newbie").

Early NET Experience:

  • Would take apart every thing. (REST IN PEACE to those of you who accidentally discharged an EARLY CAPACITOR)
  • Received Radio Shack's Electronic Circuit Board at christmas (and made an AM radio receiver).
  • Really knows what "10 goes to 20" means.
  • Read about "Tape Drives" in Popular Mechanics or viewed while watching the APOLLO missions from the B&W TV footage of HOUSTON (Huge Tape Drive on Massive Spindle = Computer)
  • Tried to convince their mother to get them something from the A&P "GreenStamp" catalogue
  • Is the only one who continuously used a 5"1/4" drive in their early career.
  • Knows every color on CAT (i.e. CAT 4, 5, 6,)
  • Crimped RJ15's with Sear's Craftsman pliers
  • Remembers how big a candy-bar used to be
  • Could run circles on Commodore's
  • Took a few years to accept and say the term PC over IBM
  • Purchased NetScape (Box SET)
  • Played the original DOOM (their 1st PC game addiction)
  • Created web pages using a "prehistoric caveman" style
  • Does not use a free email services (to this day)
  • AND FINALLY, Would of been diagnosed for every new mental illness classification (if they existed)

  2. SHARP Analog TAPE DRIVE
  3. ATARI 400
  4. Commodore 16
  5. Mainframe (usually in college or training)
  6. IBM with DOS
  7. 256's
  8. Owned a IBM 386

Writer's note: "Jenny I got your number, I want to make you mine" - Don't lie Pioneer's, you loved this song....go ahead, sing the numbers PIONEER's........867-5309
