Company Information

It is not often that you come across a business that has a compelling story as unique as directNIC, one that you can relate to and suddenly want to be a part of. directNIC's journey in the domain name and web hosting business is one of hard work, determination, security and stability through the most challenging times, and an incredible passion for customer satisfaction no matter what the extreme circumstances are. And directNIC certainly knows a thing or two about challenging times and extreme circumstances.

It was during Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst modern day natural disasters to ever happen in the United States, that directNIC was faced with its biggest challenge. At the time of the Category 3 Hurricane, directNIC was located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Faced with a dire situation and a city under siege by a direct impact of the storm, directNIC took matters in their own hands not just to save their business, but to also keep the business of its hundred of thousand customers up and running during what would be the storm of the century. With a determined team, directNIC withstood the storm, a power outage that lasted several days, and a city that was under water all in an effort to keep the directNIC data center secure and stable and our customers' businesses online. With pure fortitude, a generator and 55 gallon drums filled with fuel, directNIC stayed fully operational in the most challenging of times. Not only did directNIC keep their own lights on and their customers' domains and web sites accessible, they also provided critical infrastructure support to keep other parts of New Orleans up and running. That is the directNIC way.

Going above and beyond is not something that directNIC suddenly learned to do that fateful summer in 2005. The directNIC brand established itself early on as one associated with trust, security, and a deep sense of compassion and understanding for our customers. Personalized customer service has always been a top priority at directNIC. Over the years, we have worked diligently to ensure that everything we do is for the benefit of our customers and continues to support the directNIC brand. Personalized customer service is our standard way of living and as we continue to grow, we do so with the same core customer centric business philosophy in mind. It is because of you that we are here and without you we wouldn?t be here.

We have grown to an international company but never have forgotten where we came from and how we got to where we are. Based in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, we are strategically positioned to continue providing outstanding personalized customer service to ensure that we meet the needs of our customers. We are honored to be your preferred domain registrar and web hosting services provider and as we come upon 10 years of being in business, we thank you for your support and look forward to another 10 years of being here for you.
