Its quite fun to say that I consider myself one of the pioneers of the webhosting business in Costa Rica. Yes ... Costa Rica, this small country down in central america has been a nice gateway of different e-business related companies and ventures for the last few years.
Around 1999 I decided to fly away from Acer and moved into CafeBritt ( http://www.cafebritt.com ) a well known and established coffee company that has been leadered by a real enterpreneur called Steve Aronson. During my time there as a network administrator I realized that somehow ... I had to seek my dream, around the year 2000 I decided to fly away (yes again) and talked to an old work buddy called Vekoh Pardo and decided to found Admintek ( http://www.admintek.net ) , I am proud to say our first online business was a big Real Estate project called 'Los Suenos'. The rest is a boring and expensive story , but in the costa rican webhosting market claiming 5 years in operation is not a joke ... nah nah nah.
I still can remember the good old times of the Cobalt Raq Server control panel , moving into Plesk version 5. Today Admintek still utilizes Plesk Reloaded technology as well as CPANEL control panels ... as well as a bunch of equipment (ill talk about it in another blog). Cheers for the old times, its amazing how in the internet business one year is equivalent to 5 natural years at least, the nature of the business, I guess thats why I love it. Today the webhosting business in Costa Rica is tough , and growing with companies like hostarica, cyberfuel, ticoweb, powernet and others, but rest assured Admintek will prevail.
Yes, of course this blog is used to market admintek as well , come on , you thought this cool story was free ??? hehehe , not at all.
