UK2.net
Brief introduction
The web hosting industry saw the launch of many companies a decade back with each one keen to cash in on the opportunity the internet space provided to them. One of them was UK2.net and this company claims to be a highly profitable company having sold more than a million domain names and hosted many thousands of web sites apart from providing the benefits of their dedicated servers to their customers in various parts of the world.
This company has the proud distinction of having been accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which enables them to provide various domain extensions like .biz, .org, .info and so on.
One of the key initiatives of the company has been to raise funds and support a charitable organization like No More Landmines. These funds are used to support humanitarian causes in terms of providing Survivor Assistance and allocating them to the families of victims.
