Everyones Internet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Everyones Internet was originally a Houston, Texas-based internet service provider. It was formed on October 6, 1998 by Robert Marsh, Roy Marsh III, and Randy Williams. Its service coverage expanded to 42 U.S. states in 2002 and is now nationwide.
Since 2000 the company's focus has shifted toward Web hosting through its EV1 Servers subsidiary. The company was one of the leaders in creating the cheap dedicated server hosting market, introducing a new low price point of $99/month for dedicated servers. It remains a large competitor in this market, as of 2006 hosting about 40,000 servers, as of September 2006. [1]
In May 2006 private equity firm GI Partners bought a controlling investment in the company. [2] At the same time, Everyones Internet announced that it had merged with The Planet, another leading providers of dedicated hosting in which GI Partners had invested.
The CEO of EV1 Servers would become Doug Erwin, from GI Partners, after they gained control of EV1 Servers.
In October 2006, Everyones Internet revealed that it would stop providing dialup internet starting November 12 and sold their dialup portion of the company to PeoplePC, a dialup internet service provider.
