Williams and Tyson Navarre conceive the idea of ZTNet Web Services.
The goal of ZTNet is to provide a web hosting service for small businesses
in the area of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
March 1st, 1997 -
- ZTNet was officially formed. The company struggled to keep afloat during its first year of business, and by March of 1998, had yet to establish a stable presence.
April, 1998 -
- ZTNet changes its goals and perspectives from providing web hosting for businesses, to helping small sites who were in need of a stable web presence. This was done, in exchange for advertising on the sites.
June, 1998 -
- ZTNet changes completely over to its new business strategy, and begins to grow at a rapid pace. Nearly tripling its income in only a few months.
September 1998 -
- ZTNet outgrows its small home based headquarters, and is forced to make a giant leap forward. In cooperation with Internet Operations Center, ZTNet moved to a high-speed data center, to continue providing its customers with fast and reliable services.
January 4th, 1999 -
- ZTNet becomes ZTNet LLC. ZTNet increases its customer base nearly 10 fold, and its gross revenue nearly 2000 percent, over the course of 5 months.
March 17th, 1999 -
- ZTNet re-visits its roots of web hosting, in a brand new way. ZTNet aims to provide a service for people looking to get into the internet marketplace, but without the hastle of setting up an entire internet hosting service from the ground up.
October 1st, 1999 -
- ZTNet continues to focus on its free hosting strategy. With a move to a new data center, ZTNet is able to accommodate its continually growing community.
