The GloPro Network purchased M6.Net in 1998 after its first year of operations which were based in Tennessee. GloPro Network was a client of M6.Net, using M6.Net to host its myriad of web sites and web applications as services and products on the Internet. In 1997 the world of the Internet still had a long way to go.
  After trying 3 other hosts previously and preferring our experiences with the IRS to dealing with a web hosting company, M6.Net proved a Godsend!  
Everything cost a lot of money and you had to have technical geniuses to run things for you. There was a lot that everyone still had to find out – the hard way. GloPro Network started its life with the mission to build the future of the Internet, starting with internet-based databases. The Internet was life to everyone at GloPro, it meant more than just the future. However, GloPro barely knew what the Internet was way back then, other than it was some amazing media that everyone connected to, to share information with anyone, anywhere, anytime. It was the greatest invention on Earth and GloPro had to be a part of it. GloPro figured, as most do, that you have to put your websites somewhere. They then discovered that the places to do it are run by companies called web hosts! After much searching, a web host was finally found – one that would give the freedom needed to run multiple applications, sites, databases, emails, components, and give the slice of ‘Internet Heaven’ needed to work on the mission. Back then M6.Net was offering an unbelievable 300MB and 3GB per month for only $30! Being a small company, GloPro got a special account with multiple sites and all the goodies we wanted, just by talking to the owner of M6.Net directly. After trying 3 other hosts previously and preferring our experiences with the Tax Office to dealing with a web hosting company, M6.Net proved a Godsend!

Glopro Corporation Buys M6.Net Things went very well and GloPro became heavily involved in the Internet. Meanwhile, the growth of M6.Net was overwhelming its current owners so they offered to sell the company. GloPro bought M6.Net – it was a ‘no-brainer’. From that point forward, GloPro was captivated by the world of web hosting. GloPro weren’t just building parts of the Internet now. They had become part of the heart of it, providing people with the necessary pieces for them to take part and build the Internet too. No day was ever the same and the fast train of growth just took off. GloPro brought its many years of management and marketing skills to M6.Net and started to focus its efforts purely into web hosting. The principles defined when taking over M6.Net were:

  • Never just follow the crowd, and always offer people what they want: Help them build and run great sites on the Internet.
  • Talk to and help clients the way we expected to be talked to: There had been too many bad experiences with terms and conditions spiels in the past, too many deaf ears and dumb looks.
  • Always offer real value, never hike the prices and never drop them just to undercut. Hit the right price to offer a great product and pay for research and development, growth, and more value added services.
  • Construct products that people will use, get value out of, and won’t feel ripped off with.
  • Always help people and be friendly. Building sites for the Internet can be frightening and it should be a joy for everyone to be involved.

Giving Everyone an Opportunity to Get On the InternetThe first thing M6.Net did was to offer people multiple sites in one account, SQL Server databases, fast personal support, and our value for money pricing. When other companies were milking the Internet boom M6.Net was giving everyone a fair chance.

M6.Net was off and running and month after month kept adding and growing in leaps and bounds with profound growth figures. Like every other hosting company there has been
challenge after challenge. When others saw problem after problem and clients getting in the way of making money, M6.Net saw an opportunity to grow: grow knowledge, skills, and build solutions to run more efficiently. When hit with the problems of ASP database connections locking and pulling down a server – we built code-scanning tools to advise clients before the problem.
When faced with the ever-corrupting IIS metabase, M6.Net built specialized metabase backup tools. When hit with exploding bandwidth, M6.Net worked with the NOC network providers to dynamically-manage the bandwidth. Back in the old days of 1998 when most other companies were managing accounts through support based email, M6.Net built extensive web applications to manage client interaction,
   
and formed the first control panel. In 2000 when ADSI became workable we cut the first Windows based automation systems, and in 2000 released the second control panel version allowing multiple domains, databases, users and more, complete with file manager and real time ACL and permissions management. Not only that, but M6.Net released the first multi-level

, white branded control panel allowing M6.Net customers to have their own hosting business. M6.Net always followed its principles and was first to provide what customers really wanted.

When the 'Dot com' boom bust, we lost few customers because the customers we had were paying value for money. Hosting was their lowest overhead and M6.Net made it easy for them to continue. When clients hit hard times, we helped them through. M6.Net kept to the principles defined.

Dedicated to Support, Research, and Development Every step of the way M6.Net has maintained a support and network administration team working in an open, no-walls environment where everyone works together, directly, in real-time, to help customers all over the world 24 hours a day. Back in the days when hosting companies would lock up the building and go home, all our servers were connected to mobile phones of the network administration for customers to call on the slightest issue. M6.Net understands servers
and network are life in the 21st century and downtime can feel like death to many people running sites that their existence depends upon. M6.Net took this seriously and over time has added six levels of monitoring, monitoring hundreds of different metrics in the servers. In real-time we know every aspect of the business from number of domains, users, cpu usage, disk space, network utilization, bandwidth and so much more, we trail 100's of metrics. M6.Net kept this momentum by always maintaining a research and development team made up of software engineers and designers where the Internet is life itself and not just an occupation. Other hosting companies spend 10-30% of their cash flow buying up other hosting companies for the client base – M6.Net spends upwards of 40% of revenue on research and development. Continually refining the control panels, automation, network administration, and future hosting products no one has even dreamed of – except M6.Net
