Whois & Analysis for bit-tech.net

bit-tech.net (often abbreviated to bit-tech, bit or BT) is an online magazine for computer hardware enthusiasts, gamers and case modders, based in the UK.

It was founded in 2000, became a fully professional online publication in 2005, and announced its acquisition by Dennis Publishing in October 2008.

Dennis Publishing then partnered the site with existing monthly publication Custom PC magazine, making bit-tech the online version of the magazine.

At this point the two editorial teams were totally integrated.

However, due to a restructure in January 2012 the website and magazine now have separate editors again, although several of the writers still contribute material to both publications.
