The folks at IT Conversations have posted a new Web hosting interview with the CEO of DirectNIC, Sigmund Solares. First thing I have to say is it is nice to see IT Conversations bringing some Web hosting content back to the Web site. The entire interview is very interesting and a must listen to for anybody out there interested about their story.
The first most of us heard of DirectNIC was when word spread from Interdictor, the Live Journal of Michael Barnett, DirectNIC’s Crisis Manager through the whole Katrina experience. After Katrina hit, and Interdictor began to serve as a lifeline to the world outside (and the open source community), it swelled from a garden path to a jammed 16-lane highway. On September 1, Michael wrote, “This blog was never intended to be some kind of springboard to fame. I had no idea it would be… well, be what it is now. It’s nothing short of stunning…” That post alone had 496 comments, some arriving via pointers from the Times of London, other mainstream outlets and thousands of bloggers.

It sounds like the folks at DirectNIC are one of the better Web hosting solutions out there today. Color me impressed!
