It is officially awards season! First it was the Golden Globes and next will be the Oscars. But fortunately for us, between the two star-studded events we have been able to pick up some hardware ourselves (and we didn’t even have to rent tuxes). I’m thrilled to announce that SingleHop won the award for Best [...]

Last Thursday we held a company meeting after hours to discuss our recent growth and new data center while taking some much needed relaxation on our 3rd floor deck.
