The History of Surpass?
I've been with Surpass for a good few years now, but I've always wanted to ask this...
What is the history of Surpass? Who was the founder? Who owns the company? Who is the lovely Kayla? And how did it all start? We all take this amazing hosting company for granted, and yet we know nothing about it!  |

Well once upon a long time ago...
Just kidding, actually I'm not too sure myself, since I was told bits and pieces from Mike during my interview. ... |

It was founded by George Washington in 1789. It's now owned by Al Gore (inventor of the Internet). Kayla is this girl from Orlando, Flordia who just happens to be the VP of Surpass Hosting. It started when George Washington wanted to host a website for his campaign in his run for president. One thing led to another and by the time the Internet came around, he was dead (for a little while).

You can read a little about the history here: http://www.hostdime.com/about/ (HostDime and Surpass are "sister companies")
Kayla is VP. The rest I know bits about, but I am sure parts of it are wrong.
