We know who we are, do you?
Founded in 2004, Number1Host.net started out as a personal project of
then high school student Daniel McAlonan. Number1Host.net (N1H) stayed as
it was founded for over a year as a client of various reseller hosts. All
of these hosts offered "unlimited" or "unmetered" service, and they were
chosen to because of their amazing promises they provided.
As is common knowledge today, many unlimited hosts simply can't provide
the type of service they offer. This was indeed the case for N1H which
incurred massive periods of downtime due to unreliable hosts.
Fed up with downtime, Daniel decided to make the jump from being a
reseller himself to providing reseller hosting via his own dedicated
server in 2005. N1H stayed more or less stagnant through 2005 only
changing designs a few times. The company still was unable to attract
much of a customer base because of the massive oversaturation of the
market with megahosts offering crazy features as super low prices. It
was impossible for such a small company to compete.
In 2005 and 2006, N1H saw the addition of many new services to
complement its hosting offering. Amongst these services included cPanel
Installation, Server Management, and an Server Security. At this time,
PHP 5.0.5 was all the rage and could be yours as part of our $99.99
Security Service. After the addition of these services, the company
continued quietly on into 2007 with few customers.
The problem with the N1H business plan was that the company already
existed - at thousands of places all over the web. In late 2007, the
team leading N1H decided that a change was needed.
In December 2007, the domain LimitlessHosting.net was registered, a
small infantile site was placed on the web and killer pre-launch deals
were posted on forums and various websites all around the web.
LimitlessHosting was founded and still operates on two winning
principles:
- provide hosting customers with ample amounts of resources at
affordable prices
- provide hosting customers with reliable service and personal,
friendly customer support
January 1, 2008 - LimitlessHosting.net (LLH) made it's official
public launch. With the basic website and ordering system in place and
killer deals available, LLH was an immediate hit.
Number1Host.net and LimitlessHosting.net co-existed for some time
until a few months into 2008. Seeing the success of LLH, N1H was shut
down and all clients were merged into LLH.
In early March, a public forum was added to enhance communication
from staff to customers and between customers themselves.
At the time of launch and up until May, LLH only offered only hosting
until it added an enhanced version of the Platinum Security Service that
was offered at N1H. This new package was dubbed Limitless Security
Service.
Building on the added Limitless Security Service and already supreme
hosting, there are plans to add even more features in the coming
summer months of 2008.
