Who are Rootroute's customers ?
The majority of Rootroute Customers are:
- ISPs leasing our services under their own brands.
- Programmers with specific security needs.
- Mass and bulk Secure DNS services users.
As such rootr.net, is more suitable to users with some experience
rather than end-users relatively new to web site development.
How is Rootroute funded ? How long have you been in business ?
Rootroute is privately funded, in order to be isolated from economic
and market climates. This strategy also follows our security policy not
only technically but as long term stability guarantee for our subscribers.
We think long term first. This payed off when the industry trend went
down hill several times, rootr.net was not afffected.
Rootr.net started officially operations in 2000. Prior activity
since the early 90s in other Internet operations, and also
cryptographic hardware in Europe, now obsolete.
Rootr.net is not a large enterprise, but because of its background,
it is international in essence.
What is Rootroute's business philosophy ?
We believe in doing a few things the best, rather than too many things a
little bit. We also prefer to tell explicitely what to expect to our
clients, rather than generating false expectations.
