Konnect Hosting was founded in December 2016 with a simple goal: create the kind of hosting service we wished existed.
Like many gamers, our founder, Blake, wanted a reliable, affordable place to host a Garry's Mod server for friends. Instead, he found a market filled with overpriced services, inconsistent performance, and frustrating customer experiences. Rather than settling, he decided to build something better.
What started as a personal project quickly became a passion. Countless hours were spent researching enterprise hardware, data center infrastructure, networking, server management, and web development to create a hosting platform focused on performance, reliability, and value. With the support of close friends, Konnect Hosting launched its first prototype, initially offering Garry's Mod servers managed through FTP and SSH.
As our community grew, so did our platform. We invested in professional solutions such as TCAdmin and WHMCS, allowing us to provide faster deployments, easier server management, and a smoother overall customer experience. While our infrastructure has evolved over the years, our philosophy has remained exactly the same.
