What IVNet does

IV Net, LLP (IVNet) is a regional internet service provider and web hosting company headquartered in Peru, Illinois, that has been operating continuously since 2006. The company delivers fiber optic and fixed wireless internet connectivity to residential, business, and government customers across the Illinois Valley — primarily Princeton, Peru, Oglesby, LaSalle, Utica, and the Starved Rock Area — and complements connectivity services with web hosting, domain registration, DNS hosting, and email services that it markets nationwide.

IVNet's service portfolio is anchored on two connectivity products: a fiber optic internet service delivering speeds up to 1Gbps in Princeton and Peru, and a fixed wireless service delivering up to 100Mbps, distributed from local towers, water towers, and grain elevators using Ubiquiti wireless equipment and Ubiquiti UFiber for fiber backhaul. Web hosting is built on cPanel and WHM, supporting HTML, Joomla, and WordPress sites, and is offered in three annual tiers — Basic ($159.95), Standard ($250.95), and Professional ($444.95) — each bundled with unlimited bandwidth, Cloudflare DNS, and local support. DNS hosting leverages Cloudflare for CDN optimization, code optimization, and security, while domain registration runs through SRSplus. Email services include webmail access and Outlook-compatible POP3/IMAP/SMTP configuration.

Revenue is generated entirely through recurring subscriptions: monthly internet service fees, annual web hosting subscriptions, and annual domain registrations. Internet pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through direct phone sales (815-223-1052, 800-352-7018) and website-based inquiries, while hosting and domain pricing is transparent online. The company has no resellers or third-party distribution. IVNet operates a strategic partnership with Connecting Point Computer Center, which supplies complementary managed services including Microsoft Exchange, website design, and network setup, allowing IVNet to bundle a fuller IT solution with its core connectivity and hosting offerings. The entity is privately held as a limited liability partnership with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding.

Direct peers

• Joink: Joink is a regional fiber and fixed wireless ISP serving rural Indiana and Illinois communities — directly comparable to IVNet in target market (small-town Midwest), technology mix (fiber + fixed wireless), and customer base (residents + SMBs + local government).
• Wisper Internet: Wisper is a Midwest fixed wireless ISP serving rural Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas with similar Ubiquiti-based tower distribution — comparable in rural Illinois geography, technology stack, and customer mix to IVNet's wireless footprint.
• Watch Communications: Watch Communications provides fixed wireless internet to rural and small-town Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois — directly comparable fixed wireless ISP business in adjacent Midwestern rural markets with similar SMB/residential/government customer profile.
• Blue Stream Fiber: Blue Stream Fiber is a regional fiber ISP serving small Illinois and Wisconsin communities — comparable regional FTTH retail provider in the same geography with residential + business + wholesale-style service tiers analogous to IVNet's Princeton/Peru fiber offering.

Broad incumbents

• GoDaddy: GoDaddy is the dominant SMB web hosting and domain registrar incumbent with a comparable product portfolio (shared hosting tiers, cPanel-style plans, domain registration, email) — sets the competitive baseline for IVNet's hosting and domain business nationally.
• Bluehost: Bluehost is a large SMB hosting provider with tiered annual plans (Basic/Pro) on a LAMP/cPanel-style stack — directly comparable hosting product, pricing model, and target SMB customer to IVNet's Basic/Standard/Professional packages.
• Frontier Communications: Frontier is a major rural/regional fiber and DSL carrier across Illinois and the Midwest — comparable as a broader incumbent ISP expanding fiber into the same rural Illinois counties where IVNet operates, representing the primary large-scale competitive threat.
• MetroNet: MetroNet is a large FTTH ISP aggressively expanding across Illinois cities including the Illinois Valley region — directly comparable fiber retail product and overlapping geographic footprint to IVNet's Princeton/Peru fiber service.
• SiteGround: SiteGround is a managed SMB hosting provider offering tiered annual hosting with email, CDN, and security add-ons — directly comparable to IVNet's hosting packages in target customer (SMBs, government, small dev sites) and product structure (cPanel/Cloudflare-style bundled hosting).

Emerging players

• Starlink (SpaceX): Starlink is the satellite broadband disruptor expanding across rural Illinois — not a direct ISP technology peer, but the primary alternative for rural customers IVNet serves via fixed wireless, and the most material competitive threat on the rural side of IVNet's business.
