Our Company

Learn About getNetworks

getNetworks was founded in August of 1995 to provide commercial web hosting and web consulting services. Fifteen years later, our focus hasn't changed. We've stood the test of time, even in today's faltering economy and the failure of so many .dotcom businesses.

We unveiled our first commerce-enabled hosting solution during the summer of 1996. It was a huge success...revolutionizing the way business was done in our world. Sure, there was a great deal of apprehension and many concerns around security, as it still remains today, but getNetworks stood by its convictions and continues to help companies move to the digital medium and maximize their bottom line.

As one of the first shared-hosting providers to offer SMX, the original scripting/macro language for web servers (from The Internet Factory), ASP (our 1990s Windows-based offering days), PHP, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Java Servlet/JSP capabilities via Tomcat, and now true 24/7 business-class cloud virtualization, we have spent a great deal of time ensuring that our solutions are the easiest and most robust in the industry. getNetworks is a global leader in the hosting industry, managing more than 50 hosting brands, and will continue to be a leader for years to come. You can trust that we will be there.

It's About Value

Not only are our prices competitive, but in many cases they are the best value in hosting today. With professional hosting starting as low as $7.00/month, you can have the quality hosting service you need, without breaking the bank. getNetworks, Inc. continues to provide post-sale value with responsive technical support and updated resources to help your business. We're not going to make outlandish (i.e. impossible) offers. We're going to offer you the best solutions at a reasonable price that truly provides the ultimate value in the industry.

It's About Performance

The getNetworks Data Center (DC) is connected to the Internet via 42Gbs of available transit, including 10Gbs to Internap, 2Gbs to PCCW-BTN, 4Gbs to nLayer, 4Gbs to Mzima and 4GBs to Telia, as well as a supplemental 1 Gbs connection to the Atlanta Internet Exchange (AIX) public peering point supplying 12 additional providers, including Earthlink and Cox Communications. Very few providers have a network that can outperform and outconnect ours, and whatever your bandwidth needs may be, getNetworks has the scalability to meet them.

It's About Reliability

getNetworks recognizes that downtime is not an option for your servers. That's why we invest heavily in hardware and facilities to ensure that your business, your brand and your reputation are up and running on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

getNetworks' DC features raised flooring, which enables a constant flow of conditioned air and helps to maintain uniform room temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring reduces static and ensures a professional, computer-grade environment for your servers.

The facility is equipped with a VESDA fire suppression system, designed to immediately notify personnel of just the smallest particles of smoke and protect the equipment. The Network Operations Center (NOC) is controlled via automatic doors to further secure and protect the equipment.

Finally, the DC is a secure, monitored, carrier-class building with a minimum number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas and equipment. A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained at all times and extensive video surveillance and recording is in use. Both biometric hand scanners and card scanners are required to access the data center.
