About Catalog.com
In 1994, Catalog.com was the first company in the world to offer shared hosting. By hosting multiple websites on the same server, we broke the pricing barrier significantly by selling hosting for $30 per month when most providers were over $100 and many as high as $1,000 per month. In 1999, we were the first provider to combine domain registration with web hosting, thus, free hosting with a domain name emerged. In 2003, we introduced our Hosting Club product which takes Hosting to a new level. The services we offer in our EverythingUnlimited plan for just under $10 a month are unheard of in the industry. You get 24 x 7 technical support, daily backups, and use of your own domain along with industry-leading E-commerce and site management tools. Not to mention, our hosting is ran on world class Sun servers with multiple backbone connections utilizing BGP routing. No one in the hosting market except for Catalog.com offers this type of performance at this price to their customers. In 2004, as we enter our 10th year of business, Catalog.com is better positioned to help you succeed online than ever before. Our Domain Name Registration, Web Hosting Services, and E-commerce solutions combine to bring you the building blocks needed for a truly effective presence on the web. We currently host over 50,000 web sites and provide email to over 500,000 businesses and individuals. Considered a "world-class" company by CNET, Catalog.com offers e-mail and Web hosting services equivalent to those of Fortune 500 companies. Free e-mail and Web hosting are provided when you register a domain name with Catalog.com. Most companies offering free services to their consumers require the consumer to place a banner or other form of advertisement on their website, not with Catalog.com.

"The selection of Catalog.com by CNET validates our business strategy of being a full service Web hosting provider. The one common denominator on the Web is every business needs a domain name. Our strategy is to provide a very low cost solution to companies and individuals just getting started and then provide advanced solutions as their business grows" -Robert Crull, President and CEO of Catalog.com.

Our mission is to provide domain names, web hosting, and other products and services that help individuals, organizations, and businesses build, market, and manage their online presence. We make our products and services easy to understand and continue to be a leader in low cost pricing with high value products and services. We strive to provide our customers with all the information, customer service, and reliability necessary to successfully use any Catalog.com product or service to meet their needs.
