About the Roller Network

The Roller Network was created to address the needs of small and medium businesses and technically savvy customers. Most companies treat mail services as an afterthought - just another service in their lineup - or focus on large corporations. The Roller Network is the first mail service provider to break from the per-domain or per-user pricing scheme. All of our services are offered at a unified price point - there are no hidden fees. We're also one of the first to offer IPv6 enabled hosted mail services.

Roller Network strives to provide a high level of service in operating our own facility. The power distribution, backup generator, switches, routers, and servers belong to us. That means the Roller Network is 100% responsible for the service you're getting. If something is not quite right, we can fix it. If you have a question, we can answer it. We diversify our fiber with multiple upstream providers served by individual routers. Our fiber terminates at separate central offices. We employ parallel/redundant UPS systems with A and B distribution panels. Our cooling is redundant with an environmentally friendly economizer system. But if there is a problem - since no system is perfect - we believe in transparency during the resolution process.

The internet has become a critical tool in today's world, and that's how Roller Network treats our services. We believe that you should have as much control over your services as possible; after all, it is yours.

A Brief History

Roller Network was founded in 2004 by Seth Mattinen, then a Computer Science student at the University of Nevada, Reno as a side project away from analyzing the big-O of algorithms. Originally the service was started as "free for all" backup mail service. As the number of features grew, donations (then paid upgrades) were required to access new features. When the customer base continued to grow through word of mouth to the point where donations simply weren't keeping up with demand, the free model was discontinued in December 2007.

Today, Roller Network is home to tens of thousands of mail and DNS domains with a focus on leaving as much control as possible in the hands of the customer. In Fall of 2009 we left our longtime home in Sparks, NV and sought to build Northern Nevada's first independent carrier-class facility in Reno, NV. With this facility Roller Network can offer a wider range of colocation and hosting services in addition to our well known classic services. Roller Network brings a carrier-class service to the region with triple redundant power, diverse fiber entry points, and redundant cooling in a restricted access environment. Our facility is designed to focus on the equipment first and foremost.

Reno is also home to Microsoft Licensing, GP and IGT.
