Brendan Brader, CEO of Top Web Hosting Company HostRocket.com & Internet Phone Service Provider ViaTalk Named to The Business Review’s ‘40 Under Forty’ List

CLIFTON PARK, NY (February 22, 2007) – Brendan Brader, CEO of two leading technology companies located in the heart of New York State’s Tech Valley, has been named to the “40 Under Forty” list of emerging business leaders by The Business Review.

In 1999, Brader and his longtime friend John Reyes, founded HostRocket.com, Inc., at the age of 19. HostRocket.com has grown into a debt-free multi-million dollar company offering RocketFreedom shared web hosting for as low as $4.95 per month, RocketOrbit reseller hosting, and dedicated hosting for as low as $99.95 per month. HostRocket.com is known throughout the web hosting industry for its around-the-clock customer service and incredible technical support. In 2007 the company reached an important milestone of hosting over 100,000 websites. HostRocket.com’s servers are located on-site at their corporate offices.

“I am proud that HostRocket.com has become the industry standard when it comes to providing high level customer service and tech support, and a wide variety of features at a low cost,” said Brader.

In 2005, the HostRocket.com team launched sister company ViaTalk, LLC, an internet phone service provider. Customers have flocked to the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) market over the past 5 years from traditional phone companies. Because of Brader’s success with HostRocket.com and his extensive knowledge of the internet, ViaTalk has quickly become a top national internet phone service provider with customers in 2,200 markets in all 50 states. The company is frequently quoted as having the lowest price while still offering the most advanced features. The company, which has a totally U.S.-based customer support staff, even runs a ‘buy-one year at $199 and receive a year of service for free’ special.

“ViaTalk is a rapidly growing internet phone service company known for our customer support, low prices, and inclusion of many features that would easily cost hundreds of dollars per year,” added Brader.

The two companies are headquartered in different buildings at the same corporate office park. Brader splits his days and nights between the two companies, spending the morning at ViaTalk and the afternoon and late evenings at HostRocket.com.

Brader and Reyes are actively involved with their former high school robotics team, and serve as mentors to the students. In addition to providing hands-on mentoring, they have donated $80,000 over the last 4 years to underwrite the team, allowing them to compete in regional and national competitions.

In additional to the cash contributions, many HostRocket and ViaTalk employees have devoted countless hours of time to serving as mentors for the program throughout all three seasons.

Company executives Brendan Brader and John Reyes are especially involved in the program. The two participated in the program years ago when attending Shenendehowa High School before graduating in the class of 1999 and founding HostRocket. For that reason, they both have a special connection to the program and deeply understand the immense benefits that students can realize from participation.

HostRocket Provides More Than $20,000 in Support For Local Group

2004-04-26 5:04:00 PM

HostRocket.Com, Inc. recently provided more than $20,000 in support for "Team 20, The Rocketeers", the Shenendehowa High School team participating in the 2004 US FIRST Robotics competition.

CLIFTON PARK, NY April 2, 2004 -- HostRocket.Com, Inc. [http://www.hostrocket.com recently provided more than $20,000 in support for "Team 20, The Rocketeers", the Shenendehowa High School [Clifton Park, NY team participating in the 2004 US FIRST Robotics competition.

The US FIRST Robotics competition [http://www.usfirst.org is an exciting, multinational event in which high school teams work with industry mentors and compete to solve a complex engineering problem. Participants must use a wide variety of problem-solving skills and work together to achieve a common goal. Professionals in the industry who volunteer significant amounts of their time to serve as mentors to participants play a key role in the success of the program. In addition to gaining an incredible amount of experience and knowledge, participants also compete for scholarships.

Brendan Brader and John Reyes, HostRocket co-founders, are both 1999 graduates of Shenendehowa High School who actively participated in the program in 1997, 1998, and 1999. US FIRST states that participating in the competition is a "life-changing, career-molding experience". That statement has certainly proven true for both Brader and Reyes who together founded web hosting company HostRocket shortly after graduation. Since inception in 1999, HostRocket has hosted approximately 45,000 sites from its private facility in Clifton Park, NY. In today's market, the success created is truly an astonishing accomplishment.

"US FIRST gave us invaluable experience, and I'm sure that we gained skills which later helped us both in more ways than I can describe," stated Brendan Brader, HostRocket Chief Executive Officer. Recently as the two young tycoons were reflecting on their past, they realized that the US FIRST program could likely give others the experience needed to reach their future goals as well. The two also agreed that it is especially important to support such programs in these days of budget cuts. HostRocket strives to give back to its community by providing support to worthy organizations and groups, and in this case US FIRST was simply the perfect group to work with.

A monetary contribution of $20,000 was made to the Shenendehowa High School team, "The Rocketeers", participating in the contest. Additionally, both Brader and Reyes are serving as mentors helping current students and participants in whatever ways possible. "By working with US FIRST, we hope to keep local youth involved in a positive program and encourage them to pursue careers in technology," said Timothy Dick, HostRocket Business Development Manager.

Today, it's apparent that HostRocket, Shenendehowa High School, and US FIRST are truly a winning team.

HostRocket: Rollover Bandwidth and a New Look

2003-09-22 4:09:14 PM

Bandwidth is something that is bought and sold daily and service providers often hit customers with outrageous overage fees for using more than their allocated amount of bandwidth. The days of that happening are now history. The launch of HostRocket’s fantastic new website will gracefully bring the new era of bandwidth to life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLIFTON PARK, September 22, 2003 -- HostRocket [http://www.hostrocket.com] is a company that is constantly changing the web hosting industry; today HostRocket has implemented something that will not only change the industry, but will clearly turn it upside down. Too often, people are forced to choose between cost-effective solutions or reliable and full-featured solutions, but HostRocket is causing that choice to be something in the distant past.
Today, HostRocket implemented a service that allows unused bandwidth to be used in the following month. This “rollover bandwidth” is an excellent value because it virtually eliminates costly bandwidth overage charges often faced by webmasters at some point. “You bought it, you keep it” is a principle that now applies to bandwidth.
“We are extremely happy to be able to offer something of such impeccable value to our current and future customers,” said HostRocket Chief Executive Office, Brendan Brader.

A spectacular new website developed by Ceonex, a HostRocket partner, and launched today will showcase the company’s newly developed system of “rolling over” bandwidth.

“In this industry, your website is an important element that makes a lasting ‘first impression’ so we’re just thrilled to have see the new design in place and serve HostRocket well.

About HostRocket:

HostRocket is a proven leader providing shared, dedicated, and semi-dedicated hosting solutions based in Clifton Park, NY. Since it was founded in 1999, HostRocket has changed the industry by offering services high-quality services at prices that underscore value.

HostRocket Launches RackFast.Com, Enters Managed Hosting Market

2002-05-12 5:15:43 PM

HostRocket.Com, Inc, a leader in shared and semi-dedicated hosting services today announced the launch of a new managed hosting service provider, RackFast.Com. RackFast provides managed dedicated web and application servers, which because to the staff's vast experience in managing servers provide better reliability, scalability, and security than shared hosting servers and are cheaper than buying and maintaining un-managed or co-located servers.

RackFast provides top of the line, managed services ranging from server maintenance, security, and advanced port monitoring to complete server management. From simple configuration errors to hardware failure and replacements, a technician just a free phone call away is monitoring your site and server 24/7/365. "Our years of experience in the industry gives us a leg up on the competition, which translates into a more stable and reliable product for our customers. Our accessibility to our customers is our key asset. We make our experienced staff available anytime of any day, from the lowest level tech to the CEO you can get a hold of anyone at our company just by dialing the phone." Said Brendan Brader, RackFast.com chief technical officer.

"Our customers can go away on vacation for a week and know that we pro-actively monitor their server and fix it without them ever contacting us or even knowing about the problem. Our customers like the sense of stability that we provide for them, knowing that any time of day or night, they can call toll free and talk to qualified people who are on site with the experience and resources in hand to fix whatever problem may arise." Said Brader.

"You can get a server for $99/month with 400 gigs of bandwidth but when it comes down to it, the lack of industry experience, quality hardware, and service is where you pay the real price with those companies. When someone decides to trust their business to us, they are getting more than a dedicated server. They are getting a whole team of dedicated people as well." Says David Laube, a RackFast network technician. "Our services don't just stop at the back of the server. We maintain, repair, and monitor customers servers for them, allowing them to concentrate on maintaining their site and not the server."

The state of the art RackFast data center is home to tens of thousands of websites and has a fully redundant, multi-homed network with BGP4 routing enabled to ensure data enters and leaves our network through the fastest route possible. The network consists entirely of Cisco Systems' networking equipment, and is fully switched to provide optimum performance, and is connected to the Internet via redundant OC-12 and OC-3 fiber loops.
