VPOP Technologies has been
offering Internet services since 1994. Formerly SmartLink
Communications, VPOP moved from a combined Dial-up ISP/Web hosting
company to a dedicated Web hosting and development shop in late 1996.
VPOP specializes in the backend technologies which have powered many
of the larger sites on the Internet today. Below are just a few of
the products or services the team at VPOP has developed over the
years:
The Warner Bros. Web Card - Written in early 1995, VPOP wrote
one of the first Web cards on the Internet on behalf of Warner Bros.
The program is still in use today on the Warner site.
The Warner Bros. Online Studio Store - Once again Team VPOP
was called upon to write one of the first Web-based shopping cart
systems on behalf of Warner Bros. While commercial packages were
available, Warner chose to use the expertise of the team at VPOP in
order to meet all of their needs.
OpenSRS - VPOP helped revolutionize the domain registration
industry in creating both the server and client applications associated
with OpenSRS. Domain
registration in the ".com, .net and .org" can now be managed
completely by domain name owners through Value Added Resellers. Also,
due to the streamlined process, the cost for domain registrations
began to lower across the entire industry. Thanks to TUCOWS, Inc. for
giving us the opportunity to participate in a program which has come
together to save consumers millions of dollars every year! And
congratulations to the new team of developers who rolled out version 2
of the system, allowing for registrations in ccTLDs as well.
NewsHub.com - This project was developed in-house to meet the
needs of our staff to stay current. NewsHub began in 1996 and had a
core mission of visiting Web sites with headline news content,
automatically downloading the pages and displaying all of the
headlines from all of the sources in an easy to view manner. It has
since evolved to what you see today at:
www.newshub.com.
... and there are so many more which we are not at liberty to
discuss. But who knows, you just might visit a site or two
that that is riding on technology developed by the team at VPOP.
