Leaders in the Hosting Industry
Jonathan and Tim Brealey have been key figures in the hosting and domain industry for over 20 years. In 1997, they felt it was too technical for many small businesses to put their businesses online, so they founded Webfusion. Their solution was to build a web hosting platform that even novice Internet users could use.
Webfusion was the first UK hosting company to offer a control panel, then called the Virtual Control Panel. It gave users the unique ability to instantly activate email features and manage their website settings in one place.
In 2000, many companies were looking to secure a domain name for their business, so Jonathan and Tim launched 123-reg. They managed to reduce the cost of UK domains from around £50 per year to just £2.59 per year.
Once again, they offered customers complete control using innovative online systems. This commitment to friendly self-service has become a hallmark of all their business endeavors.
Jonathan and Tim left WebFusion and 123-reg in 2003. At that time, the company had registered over 420,000 domains and hosted over 75,000 websites.
