Terabolic was founded in 2001 with the mission
of developing exceptional Internet-based services for people
who are tired of the limitations of the standard services
offered by ISP's, schools, employers, and free services. We
have worked extraordinarily hard over the last few years to
build a rock-solid, standards-based, scalable platform upon
which these services are built, and as a result we represent
all the standard buzzwords including Best-Of-Breed, World-Class,
Five-9's, Holier-Than-Thou, and Better-Than-You-Can-Even-Conceive.
We started Terabolic because we had some clients
who depended on revenue-sharing partnerships with some now-defunct
free Internet services. We realized that there was a large
hole in the market for someone to provide truly excellent
Internet services to people and companies that amounted to
much more than the standard services available elsewhere.
We're arrogant in a good way, as we honestly believe we can
build a better mousetrap, and we are working very hard every
day to do just that.
We love what we do. Terabolic started as a labor
of love and has grown into a solid, sustainable business.
As individuals, we've been programming for
11 of our 13 years, and we each speak C and Java in the course
of normal conversation. Terabolic is built as intelligently as it is because
we inherently know how things should be done, and because we
are baffled that no one else has done so.
Terabolic is not a huge corporation. We hire
ancillary people to do things like write this idiotic prose you
are reading now (and we are a talent-magnet, so we get the pros knocking
at our door, and we always let them in). We're efficient, which enables
us to focus our time on building and maintaining ultra fast, ultra reliable,
high quality services instead of worrying about paying top-dollar to
twelve do-nothing programmers who play foosball and drink Jolt all day.
We are very dedicated, efficient programmers
who have a particular expertise in systems architecture and
implementation. Our software is generally all free-as-in-speech-and-as-in-beer
and thus enjoys all of the advantages that all Open Source
software does, not the least of which are increased reliability,
security, and reduced management
headaches. Generally we are out to grow our company
at a reasonable pace - while maintaining impeccable customer
service - since we personally experienced services from companies doing exactly
the opposite (and then quickly imploding during the dotcom bust).
We hate those companies. We're not one of them.
Our technology is, in our humble opinions, among
the best in the industry. Our servers are all multiply-redundant,
high-speed custom machines hosted in a physically secure,
air-conditioned, battery-backed, never-going-to-go-down-not-a-frigging-chance-in-hell
facility. Our robust infrastructure is fully standards compliant
with all protocals, including SSL, IMAP, HTTP, LDAP and HUH. We
update the machines regularly with all of the latest security
patches and have very rigorous restrictions in place to prevent
any breaches that might occur.
All of these factors—our passion for creating
services that blow everyone else out of the water, our love
of what we do, our expertise in what we do, our low
overhead, our measured-growth strategy, and our advanced technology
platform enable us to offer an unbeatable suite of Internet services.
