Endurance International Group, Inc. (EIG), formerly BizLand, is a Web hosting company. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, managing over 3.8 million customers. It achieved its size by acquiring a large number of smaller companies, which it continues to operate under the original brand names. In 2011, Endurance was bought from Accel-KKR by Warburg Pincus and GS Capital Partners, for around $975 million. The company went public in October 2013.

Privacy incident and network lapse

American citizen Anthony Chai filed a lawsuit against Netfirms on August 24, 2011, alleging Netfirms disclosed his IP address and email to the government of Thailand after Chai posted comments on a website hosted by Netfirms.

In April 2014, a major network issue at the data center in Provo, Utah, affected customers of Bluehost, HostMonster and JustHost, and took down many of the dedicated servers owned by HostGator customers. Bluehost uses VOIP for customer support and was unable to respond to phone calls because of the network outage at its datacenter.
