Server Central Sponsors PHP.net Open Source Site
28th Aug 2003

CHICAGO, IL., August 28, 2003 – Server Central, Chicago’s premier provider of managed hosting, colocation, and bandwidth wholesaling, today announced its sponsorship of a hosting server for PHP.net, the home of the open-source community dedicated to the development of the PHP scripting language.

PHP.net will use its sponsored server from Server Central to perform the most resource-intensive tasks of maintaining an open source community: database indexing, searching, and downloads. To meet the challenging demand of the PHP.net community, Server Central has given PHP.net a high-end server powered by Intel Xeon processors, with a gigabit connection to Server Central’s POP in Chicago, IL.

“We are proud to sponsor PHP.net and give back to the community which powers thousands of sites on our network” said Jordan Lowe, President of Server Central. “Our contribution will allow PHP developers and users to have a powerful place to interact and share developments, which in turn, strengthens the product. The entire industry, not just PHP.net, will benefit from the power of this alliance.”

James Cox, member of the PHP.net server management team, thanked Server Central for their donation. “Getting machines like this is key to our survival online. We rely on the support of ISPs and hosting providers, and we are proud to enter into this sponsorship with Server Central.”
