Host Networks was formed in 1998 by Jeff Dykstra, originally under the business name 'JDP' which was a web design, multimedia and web hosting business (the hosting arm was known as World Host). However, every man and his dog was developing web sites and there seemed to be a distinct lack of affordable, quality web hosting solutions - hence the birth of Host Networks!

Our Mission:
To help individuals, small to large business and corporations create an effective online presence by offering reliable and affordable hosting, dedicated servers and co-location services using industry and world class technologies.

Milestones:

• 2007 - April: New Data Centre Goes Live
  In 2006 Host Networks undertook the decision to build it's own multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art carrier neutral data centre. With over a year in the planning, this significant investment by Host Networks was to ensure the high quality that we demand ourselves for our own services and for that of our customers.
  
  
• 2005: 1/2 Million Dollar Upgrade
  A major overhaul to further improve quality of our systems, hardware and network.
  
  
• 2004: DC Move to allow for future growth
  Late 2004 saw the move from the Powertel Data Centre in Queen Street, Brisbane to the AAPT Data Centre in Wickham St, Fortitude Valley along with a change of carriers to improve quality.
  
  
• 2003: Host Networks opens the door to affordable co-location
  Host Networks creates co-lo.com.au to offer affordable co-location services at never before seen prices.
  
  
• 2003: The move from USA servers to Australian Servers
  With the internet growing at a rapid rate and ADSL becoming popular, Host Networks decides to bring it's hosting to home soil to allow for faster speeds and shorter ping times.
