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.
