📄 Editorial Review

In2net Network Inc. is a Canadian hosting, networking, domain-registration, and data-center company based in Burnaby, British Columbia. The business dates back to 1996, when it began as a dial-up Internet service provider and data-center operator. By 1999, its focus had shifted toward data-center services and network infrastructure, which remain central to the company today. In2net is privately held and also operates as an ICANN-accredited domain registrar with IANA Registrar ID 604.

The strongest part of In2net's portfolio is infrastructure-oriented hosting. Colocation ranges from compact 1/8-rack space with 4U through 10U and 21U configurations to complete 42U cabinets. The service includes premium bandwidth, carrier-neutral connectivity, a customer control panel, traffic statistics, 24/7 facility access, key-card and PIN authentication, UPS and generator protection, continuous security monitoring, and technical support. Customized colocation arrangements are also available when the standard cabinet sizes do not match a customer's requirements.

Dedicated Servers are available for Linux and Windows environments. Standard configurations include Intel Xeon E3 and E5 systems with ECC memory, local storage, root access, a 100 Mbps network port, Canadian IP addresses, web, FTP, DNS and email services, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, UPS and generator protection, and optional cPanel/WHM or Windows Server licensing. Some of the listed Xeon E3/E5 configurations are based on older processor generations, so confirming the exact server hardware before committing to a longer contract is advisable.

A separate Cloud Hosting range is powered by DevHost. The lineup starts with VPS-XS at 1 GB RAM, one CPU core, 50 GB storage and 500 GB monthly transfer, and extends to VPS-X2 with 32 GB RAM, eight CPU cores, 1.6 TB storage and 10 TB transfer. Network port speeds range from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Ordering for these cloud packages is handled through the DevHost platform rather than the main In2net infrastructure ordering system.

Server Backup is another substantial service. It supports Windows and Linux machines in physical and virtual environments, along with workloads such as Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange and MySQL. Backup jobs can run as frequently as every five minutes, while administration is handled through a browser-based dashboard. Data is protected with SSL during transmission and AES-256 encryption while stored. File-level recovery, bare-metal restoration, retention policies, recovery points, and versioning are available. Backup data is stored in the Metro Vancouver data center on enterprise storage using RAID 60.

Email Hosting is available with unlimited users, Canadian-based servers and local support, starting at CAD$10 per month. The associated in2net.ca service endpoint is currently suspended, so availability of this product should be confirmed directly before ordering.

In2net also operates as a domain registrar rather than simply reselling domain registrations. Its registrar services cover extensions including .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .NAME, .US, .UK, .CA, .TV, .CN, .DE and .EU. Domain-management and Whois functionality form part of the service, together with support for DNSSEC key-material relay under the registrar agreement.

For SSL, GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium certificates are available at US$99 for one year. They include up to 256-bit encryption, a site seal, certificate reissues during the validity period, renewal reminders, and multi-year options.

The portfolio also includes High Speed Connectivity for business and residential customers, including DSL, T1 and fiber connections. Dedicated IP addresses are included, connections are synchronous, and bandwidth is generally unlimited. This can be paired with colocation to create an off-site application, backup, or disaster-recovery environment with unmetered traffic between the customer's office connection and the In2net facility.

The service interface is in English and no multi-language/localized version exists. Core colocation and dedicated-server pricing is generally in Canadian dollars (CAD), while cloud plans and the SSL certificate offer use US dollars (USD).
