(EIG), formerly BizLand,[1] is Web hosting company.[2] The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts,[1] managing over 2.9 million customers and 10 million domains.[3] It achieved its size by acquiring a large number of smaller hosts, which it continues to operate under the original names.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9][10] In 2011, Endurance was bought from Accel-KKR by Warburg Pincus and GS Capital Partners, for around $975 million.[11][12]

The company own other businesses including Bluehost[9][13][14] Directi[15] HostGator[1][13][16] StartLogic[4][6][10] ResellerClub[17] and Typepad[18]

Privacy incident and network lapse

American citizen Anthony Chai filed a lawsuit against Netfirms on August 24, 2011, alleging Netfirms disclosed his IP address and email to the government of Thailand after Chai posted comments on a website hosted by Netfirms.[19][20]

In April 2014, a major network issue at the data center in Provo, Utah,[21] affected customers of Bluehost, HostMonster and JustHost, and took down many of the dedicated servers owned by HostGator customers.[22][23][24][25] Bluehost uses VOIP for customer support and was unable to respond to phone calls because of the network outage at its datacenter.[26]
