My hosting company (west designs) lost it's virginity before it turned 1 day old

I had some clients agree, and sign a committed contract before I launched the hosting company, now I have quite a few servers and VPS running, and all this fun stuff, what about you guys ? When did your hosting company lose it's virginity ?

"Lose its virginity"?? Ha ha ha!!

We lost our virginity back in 1996. We had a single dedicated server co-located in PHX, long before VPSs and such were even thought of. I can still remember our first clients.

I don't really have a host, just a datacenter. They exist since 2003 and are located in München/Germany.

I love the title of the thread.

On topic though, we have had lots of clients since opening of 2009. So we have far surpassed.

I had a dedi running nearly a month before putting together what became Seraphim on it, mostly to recover the costs of having the thing that was originally meant for an AI project.

Our company was started in 2008 and now we have quite a bit of clients that have stayed a while.

It's better to have a deal with a company which has provided their services long enough.
