We are often asked how the company came about or who the creative minds behind the company are. But let's start at the beginning: It all began in October 1999 with the idea of how we could provide people with a service that was unaffordable for many at the time. Domains were about as expensive as an annual gym membership and the associated storage was even more expensive. In addition, the servers were often located abroad.

We are Patrick Bohn and Maik Hausknecht - two people who have turned their hobby and their "faible" for computer systems, telecommunications and data centers into a profession. While we were still a reseller of web hosting products in our early days, we knew right from the start that good customer service can only be provided if you create your own products and services.

While the dream of having your own office and data center is in the back of your mind, you still have to keep the day-to-day business running. You draw up quotations, deal with any problems that customers may have and ensure that the computer systems are always running without interruption. While you often wish there were more than 24 hours in a day, there are challenges and tasks that you can't really spare the time for.

Today - almost 25 years later - we look after a large number of customers, have our own data center in the heart of Saarland and are responsible for keeping a large number of services up and running on a daily basis. In detail, this means that we need a large supply of coffee in order to meet the challenges that arise every day.

The internet has changed a lot in this long period of time and will continue to evolve. New technologies emerge almost daily and new products that two decades ago could only be seen in good science fiction films are coming out every week. So we won't be able to tell you where the journey will take us - but is that so important? What's more important are the people that the Internet connects, and at distances that were not thought possible back then. What is more important is that we can be proud of something. We are proud that many of our customers have been with us since the beginning of Net-Build - thank you very much for that :)

Best regards
Patrick Bohn and Maik Hausknecht
