Welcome to the new SFO.com! San Francisco Online.
You may notice this is not the San Francisco Airport, we are SFO.com and if you intend to travel we hope you have a save journey. We are pleased at your arrival and until your departure let me tell you a little bit about our company and share some of our vision for the San Francisco Online Services.
The online world has changed since we first created our online company, Global InfoNet. When we started, access speeds were 1400 baud and dial-up was the breakthrough technology (what the heck is broadband?!). Windows and Mac were not set up for online use and email was just a fad. Netscape was in research and development and when you accessed the internet with unix, everything was command line interface; there was no graphic user interface. Internet and online access was billed on a pay for time basis, the internet was slow, customers were paying by the minute and we were there to provide service and support at an affordable rate. Our mission was to offer bundled services for a fixed price. We were one of the first internet companies to offer fixed unlimited internet access. The staff at San Francisco Online and California.com were early adapters and have been involved in providing hosting and internet access solutions to The San Francisco Bay Area since we started in 1992.
As a local San Francisco Bay Area “pioneer” in the ISP space, we’ve seen many things change over the years. We’ve learned to embrace change, and use it as a catalyst for new product offerings. The decision to migrate away from California.com to SFO.com was a difficult decision. However, we feel it will bring the change we need that will allow us to grow to the next level as a service and support organization. We are living in a Global Economy and our international clients would have made the founders happy. As a first step, we have migrated all existing california.com email accounts over to SFO.com. Please read more about the changes we’re making by visiting our “What’s New” and going to http://www.sfo.com/billing section and reading the announcements.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns - please drop us an email at support@sfo.com, or visit the “Support” section of our site.
We have a lot of exiting information to share, and we hope you’ll stick around and continue to be a part of the new SFO.com!
