Antsamedia is an unregistered Finnish-Indonesian Internet service provider that offers public projects, softwares and services. Antsamedia is focused on the Internet industry and various network solutions. It is best known for its project Antsamedia Tools, which offers its users free computer programs and tools to make their lives easier online. Antsamedia's typical services work without registration.[2]
Antsamedia describes its operations as "free, encouraging, reliable and efficient". Antsamedia's goals are to promote the flow of free information, the development of the Internet as safe and reliable, and to come up with solutions to eradicate online hate mail and harassment. Antsamedia is global and operates in almost every country in the world, with some exceptions. It is established in Finland and Indonesia and has no headquarters or administrative building.
Antsamedia operated under numerous different domains from January 2021 to August 2022, and its name also changed in between. For the most part, Antsamedia has operated under the www.antsamedia.eu domain name, but from September 2022 onwards, it has operated under the www.antsamedia.org domain name, and Antsamedia Tools no longer has its own domain name. Antsamedia justifies this with investment decisions aimed at compensating costs and also centralizing domain names in one place. However, according to WHOIS sources, the domain name www.antsa.eu still belongs to Antsamedia, even though there is no active activity in the domain.
History[edit]
According to its founder, Antsamedia has already been developed for the journey in 2017. The claim that Antsamedia started its operations in 2015 is not an official record.
Antsamedia opened its first customized websites only in May 2020, when Antsamedia started to build more developing activities. Antsamedia was founded today by another founding member and software architect Anton Ehrola. Another of Antsamedia's founders is an Indonesian software engineer who joined in December 2020, about whom Antsamedia has not elaborated further. However, those who live in Indonesia and work for Antsamedia do active work for Antsamedia and to achieve its goals. Thus, Antsamedia is Finnish-Indonesian, and it does not seek financial profit and has never officially received one.
Over the years, Antsamedia has operated under at least 27 different domain names, which have changed, albeit frequently. However, in the autumn of 2022, Antsamedia announced that it would permanently stay with the current antsamedia.org domain name.
The servers to which Antsamedia is linked and its data are stored are located in the United Kingdom and are registered with the Namecheap service provider.
Software development[edit]
Antsamedia has always thought of itself as a "forerunner of the future", which is explained by its code solutions in software development online. Antsamedia has developed numerous online functions and software for people's different needs, developed hundreds of different useful tools to make life easier under the Antsamedia Tools brand name, and offered its customers the possibility of so-called customized services. These are services that are developed specifically for the needs of that customer.
About 50 thousand active users from different regions of the world use Antsamedia's online software every month, although the number is only as of December 2022. Antsamedia informs that the number can change threefold every month, when former users arriving from old domains land on new customized services and software.
Antsamedia has hundreds of different projects and ventures going on all the time, which aim to actively and passionately influence the world of technology and future solutions. At Antsamedia, especially mobile responsiveness and automatic device selectors and anonymous IP visits have been one of the biggest projects for a long time.
Antsamedia also constantly develops solutions to prevent online hate and harassment and develops improvement solutions for safer Internet browsing. Antsamedia also organizes free online courses to prevent online scams and thus teaches all its users to more easily identify all online dangers.
Services[edit]
Antsamedia's so-called services have been developed for a long time, and they have all been implemented to a large extent. Services are being developed and their features are constantly being discussed. The services are free and easy to use for everyone.
Antsamedia Data Services[edit]
Antsamedia Data Services offers various data solutions in the form of structured data. For example, it offers state-level information about its aforementioned regions, cities, or even car brands and airplanes. The data services can be edited by any registered user and it aims to centralize simple data in an easy place for everyone to see. Data services are editable lists and behind the code is a set of numerous SPARQL queries directly from the web service user to MySQL databases.
All the data read in the data services is periodically updated, it is edited by a team of thousands of volunteers around the world, and it can be used and expanded by anyone. Data is retrieved from all public sources on the network.
Data services are one of Antsamedia's structured projects, which aim to concentrate simple and useful information in one place and thus avoid big online adventures and "online jungles" with numerous tabs.
Antsamedia Weather Services[edit]
Antsamedia's weather project includes numerous goals of acquiring and editing weather data and combining it for any user in Antsamedia's control panels. Antsamedia develops measuring equipment and accurate weather selectors that could be connected to Antsamedia, and in this case, users would be given the opportunity to review extensive weather history data, observe various weather temperature fluctuations and more detailed information. The service would be free, but API requests would be limited.
