Eden Prairie-based tech company earns placement on lists for best hosting firms and ISPs in the Twin Cities by the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

Eden Prairie, MN – BHI Advanced Internet, an innovative Twin Cities company and leading provider of the most reliable, secure and high performance Internet solutions to corporations across the country and Canada, has landed rankings on two notable lists from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.  The company has been named the 8^th largest hosting firm as well as the 12^th largest internet service provider in the greater Twin Cities area. 

A newcomer to the Business Journal’s rankings, the dual list placement was not an easy accomplishment by measurement standards.  Up against tech firms with over 600 employees, BHI’s placement on the hosting list was calculated based on criteria such as size, number of customers, and bandwidth.  The list of top internet service providers was determined according to bandwidth, types of accounts, and tech support.

With 18 employees and growing, the company offers a total package of connection and firewall set up, monitoring and assistance to over 1,000 client locations nationwide and provides round-the-clock operational support. BHI’s agile and customer-centric approach to business and Internet security has produced rapid growth of 400% in new account acquisition over the past year.

“Earning rankings on two notable lists in a very short time is a huge milestone for BHI. This double validation by the Twin Cities business community really demonstrates the quality of our SecureConnect™ product and the incomparable service levels of our team,” says Dave Perrill, President.  I congratulate everyone for their work in 2006. We’re looking forward to moving up the lists in 2007.”

In addition to growing its client accounts nation-wide, BHI is dedicated to local philanthropic efforts.  Its current project is bringing internet security to a place where it is needed most – school districts.  Desiring to give back to his home town of Waconia , MN, Perrill decided to donate BHI’s premier Internet security and monitoring system to the entire school district to protect kids against the threat of pornography, hackers, Spyware and other risks. Other school districts are in the works.

Carrying an impressive portfolio of feature stories in both the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Minneapolis Star Tribune, as well as spots on prime time TV and radio news, BHI is catching the eyes of everyone from business owners to job-seeking tech specialists.
