| Company History |
The company was founded in 2000 by Salim Benadel as the trading face for his freelance web design services. Being a developer with a Microsoft background most of Salim's web work was developed using Microsoft's Active Server Page technology. As such the majority of his client's web sites required a reliable hosting platform that could successfully support ASP technology and at an affordable cost. Sourcing out a suitable supplier was not the simple task one might have expected though. For although there was no shortage of choice, Salim found that where one company had a strength, it also had a weakness. Finding a hosting plan that could offer the balance of performance, reliability and affordability became a research intensive task. As a designer, this choice was an important one as it would determine the efficiency of the web sites he produced and in turn reflect greatly on his reputation.
This real world experience gave Salim an understanding of the limitations, pitfalls and inadequacies of the many hosting options presented to the professional web developer. After more than three years hosting sites with a number of different companies, Salim set about hiring his own servers and creating the perfect hosting plan for Microsoft ASP web developers. In May 2003 the debut plan was launched and Storm Internet became one of the first companies in the UK to offer a hosting plan powered by the latest Microsoft Windows 2003 operating system. Retailing at an annual cost of only £49.99, the plan offered more features than the competitions nearest equivalent and sold at a fraction of the cost.
The plan was a success and the foundation for Storm Internet's hosting services was born.

| The Present |
|
Today, although still a relatively small company, we successfully compete with the larger players in the hosting industry. We equal their performance and in many cases significantly outperform them on both service and price. This is a feat we are proud of and a trend we plan to continue. By April 2005, we had managed to successfully retain over 95% of our web hosting customers. We view this, along with the many kind testimonials we have received as an indication of the great service we offer along with equally great value-for-money.

|
| The Future |
Our ultimate aim is to become the market leader in both the web hosting and web site marketing industries. To ensure our success we are constantly reviewing the competition, sourcing out the best products in the industry and providing to our customers at the best possible price.
In addition we strive to always go that little bit further than everyone else to ensure our customers experience the very best in service and support. We believe customer retention is key to our success. Our reputation is built on it, recommendations come from it and as such you'll find us investing more in customer care and the upgrading of our services than we do on advertising.
