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 the first (to our knowledge) 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 connections to the internet as much as possible with multiple upstream providers served by individual border routers. Because of this level of control and ownership we're highly reliable and responsive to our customers. If there is a problem, since no system is perfect, we believe in transparency.

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

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" accepting donations. Later, as the number of features grew, donations (then 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 for all model was discontinued in December 2007 as strict limits were added on free accounts.

Today, Roller Network is host to thousands of mail and DNS customers 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 for a larger facility in Reno, NV to accommodate additional colocation and hosting customers in addition to our well known services.

The "rollers", from which our name is derived.

Reno is about a 2 hour drive from Sacramento, 4 hours from San Fransisco, and 8 hours from Las Vegas. We're close enough to California to benefit from the Silicon Valley infrastructure without being affected by events such as the 2000-2001 California electricity crisis or the 1996 Western North-America summer blackouts. Reno is also home to Microsoft Licensing, GP and IGT.
