About Us
 

Brand Overview
The Xcellweb Internet Services brand was first established in May 2003 but can trace it roots back to July 2002. It is owned solely by WirralNet, a thriving UK based company, which is 100% privately funded and 100% debt free. WirralNet has enjoyed a steady growth rate since it entered the internet services industry in July 2002 and it is fast becoming one of the leading players in the UK. With the Xcellweb Internet Services brand, it is hoped that WirralNet can now continue this success in the worldwide market and backed with our years of experience and skills, and our dedication to customer service, we firmly believe this can be achieved.
 
Company Background
The brand is owned solely by WirralNet (formerly UK PC Net), a UK based company that began offering web based services in July 2002. The company started via the demise of an internet radio station offering shoutcast streaming media servers and cPanel shared web hosting. The company was the first UK based provider of streaming media servers based on the shoutcast technology and amongst the first in the world.
 
In late 2003 the company separated its different services into separate brands, UK Shoutcast, UK Reseller, UK PC Hosting. In early 2003, the founder of UK PC Net also helped to fund the start up of Xcellweb, which was initially a Liverpool based web consultancy and development service, although it was never included under the UK PC Net brand. In March 2004, the company began UK DediServ, a dedicated server division of the company.
 
In the summer of 2004, UK PC Net sold both its shared and reseller web hosting divisions in a bid to spend more time and resources developing its core shoutcast and dedicated server divisions. However, in late 2004, Xcellweb entered financial troubles and was eventually saved by the founder of UK PC Net purchasing the company as a whole and moving it into the UK shared web hosting market.
 
In late 2005, UK PC Net decided upon re-uniting all its services under one worldwide brand and it decided upon the Xcellweb brand to do this. So since November 2005, Xcellweb Internet Services has now become the flagship brand for all major UK PC Net services and now has clientele worldwide, including clients from Australia, Lebanon and in the summer of 2006 we welcomed our first East Asian client.
 
During 2007, the company grew from strength to strength, and the parent company was re-branded to WirralNet as part of its 5th birthday celebrations. In early 2008, a new client centre is to launch which will significantly improve our services for customers, as well as the introduction of an affiliate plan, new ordering system and new support system. In January 2008, WirralNet also regained the rights to the ukreseller.net domain name.
