Entrepreneur.com, the website of the very popular Entrepreneur Magazine, has recently teamed up with .net (powered by Verisign) to create a list of the top 100 domains with the .net extension. We are proud to announce that Interserver.net was ranked #76 out of the millions of .net sites. The list was made up of all different categories of .net domains including huge gaming sites like battle.net, government run sites like korea.net and many others.
The Methodology
The rankings for this prestigious list were determined by a custom formula created by Entrepreneur.com, which factored in things like total traffic, social influence and community voting. They began by getting a list of the top-ranked sites from Alexa.com, which ranks virtually all the websites on the Internet based on traffic and other factors. They then allowed visitors to Entrepreneur.com to nominate their favorite .net sites for consideration.
Once this data was compiled, they factored in the social influence of each site using the Klout.com score. Finally, they allowed their visitors to rank their favorite 10 sites, and factored that into the total ranking. Each of the top 100 was given a cumulative score based on all of these factors. This is one of the most in depth rankings of .net sites ever.
How we Ranked
Interserver took 76th place in this list, which is something we are very proud of. At the time of the rankings we had 3900 Facebook Likes, a Klout Score of 26 and an Alexa Rank of 20105. While these are excellent numbers for any web hosting company, they alone could not have competed with some of the more widely visited sites on the Internet. This means that we must have scored very well with the votes of visitors to the Entrepreneur.com site, which is the most important factor from our point of view.
We work hard to provide exceptional web hosting services to all of our customers, many of whom are entrepreneurs. Making it on this list is an important recognition of the fact that we provide Entrepreneurs with industry leading services. We’d like to thank Entrepreneur.com, .net (powered by Verisign) and most of all, all of the people who nominated or voted for Interserver.net for this exciting recognition.
