The Planet Internet Services (briefly known as The Planet-EV1Servers) is the byproduct of two rivals "kissing and making up." The merged enterprise-level hosting services firm -- a result of the 2006 merger of Dallas-based hosting firm The Planet and Houston-based Everyone's Internet (EV1) -- provides colocation, dedicated services, email, and Internet access. It also offers data storage, as well as database administration, monitoring and security services, and virtual private networks (VPNs). Customers can manage their services through the company's customer portal -- dubbed Orbit. Prior to the merger, California-based private equity firm GI Partners took control of both EV1 and The Planet.

Wikipedia: Planet Internet

Planet Internet is one of the largest internet service providers (ISPs) in the Netherlands. Planet Internet is a brand of the Planet Media Group, which is a subsidiary of KPN.

Planet Internet opened office in 1995, offering services such as internet access and content. In 1997 the company merged with World Access (that also was founded in 1995) changing its name to 'World Access/Planet Internet'. The renaming was redone in 1999, though the joint company was not split up once more.

In the same year, the holding company of Planet Internet, Videotex Nederland NV, was given the new name of 'Planet Media Group NV'. In 1999 the KPN-service Het Net became part of the Planet Media Group.

Independent from the Dutch company, KPN also maintained a Belgian branch of Planet Internet, called 'Planet Internet Belgiƫ'. In early 2003, this company was sold to Scarlet.
