How many behind SurpassHosting?

Hello

How many people are working behind SurpassHosting, especially the support desk? I'm sure I've saw over hundreds of names appear on the support desk. You've got Josh C, Josh B and all the other sorts of Josh. Sometimes I think they are automated random names.

So, what's the number?

Cheers

Interesting question, not sure I've ever seen a number, but all together i think it's upwards of 70 or 80? including support staff, abuse/security, administrators, NOC, etc.

don't quote me on that though. Kayla needs to swoop in with the official count.

Adam is right and with the parent company in mind there's about 130 at this time.

See, when someone tells you NOT to do something, that automatically makes you do it...
