Why Does SevenL Help Linux and Open Source Software?

In 2003, SevenL Networks stepped back and took a good look at our customers. A most obvious trend jumped out at us – the majority of our customers were turning to Linux and Open Source for their mission-critical services.

SevenL made a decision that goes against all business rules and beliefs – offer our services for free to Linux distributions and open source software with only one rule:  that the server is used for the growth of their Linux organization and the open source movement.

In 2003 we began by donating three dedicated servers to Gentoo Linux and more to CentOS. Now, we’re proud to add Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Startcom Linux and PartedMagic to that prestigious list with their own dedicated web hosting servers.
