About JTech

JTech Web Systems began its life in early March of 2001. With the purchase of the Dell server and the initial setup of the AW server. In June 2001 the world JTech was won as a Bingo prize, and was renewed and expanded in September. By October the server was online and doing business.

I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the Wade Edwards Foundation and all the staff at the Wade Edwards Learning Lab for graciously supplying our first Internet connection. I would not be where I am today without these guys. They supplied the first DSL connection for the server.

Starting in mid October, 2001, JTech began offering free world hosting. The hosting service was mainly intended to be a learning experience. I used the opportunity to get hands-on experience. In the closing months of 2001 there was a steady flow of new customers. Slowly but surly JTech was gaining steam. Early in 2002, JTech began free offering object path hosting in addition to the free world hosting.

Everything went very smoothly until April 2002, when I started noticing slower and slower response times from the server. What was happening? The WELL's DSL line was being swamped. Put together the incoming data from the well users, and the outgoing data of the server, and you have a *lot* of bandwidth use. I began looking for a professional location immediately.

By the end of May I had a contract signed with Inflow, a professional IT/managed hosting business in the Research Triangle Park. The server was moved in the first week of June, 2002. Because of the price of our nice bandwidth, the focus has switched from a learning experience to a business venture. Prices have been introduced, and will become effective in July 2002.

That brings us up to the current time.
