Just because we're geeks doesn't mean we don't have a life. We don't speak all 'upper-class' as if you're just an idiot. We're normal people that understand what frustration is.

Downthe.NET was founded in 2006 by people that understood what a typical host should offer. After being with several free hosts that included NetFirms, Web1000, Tat-Webhost, Xeeblo, FusionXHost and AhPlace they came to the same conclusion with each. It was always 'Not enough of this' or 'Not Enough of that'; none of the hosts offered it all.

Companies like Netfirms and Web1000 put an ugly bar on the website that you spent hours on, making the whole design look ugly. TAT-Webhost, Xeeblo, FusionXHost and AhPlace all closed, or had very bad uptime, meaning while these hosts offered a lot of everything, you rarely ever saw any of it in action. We are different. This place listens to its community. This place changes because of its community.

We've never promised exceptional uptime, because we quite purely can't. However, Since Downthe.NET has been online, we have had 99.8% uptime. Need proof? [click here]

Our forums are the best source of information. If you want to learn some tricky php coding, chances are that one or more of our community members have the answer or are willing to play around with their software to make it work. Want to see what the community's solved? [click here]

We offer the full extent of cPanel, including the Fantastico Package, which some hosts do not install. We offer multiple statistics scripts, including Awstats, another script that hosts sometimes disable.

Notice that a lot of Hosts post these cliche testimonials? Like "HostX is the best" or "Made my company millions of bucks"? We don't do this. Our testimonials are real. Read the real testimonials - including any bad ones. There's no covering up. [click here]
