History

[edit]

In 1999 Online started its activities in web hosting and domain name registration services[3] · .[4]

In August 2002 the domain name registar BookMyName has been bought by Iliad from the concurent LDCom.[5]

In May 2006 rental of dedicated servers through the Dedibox brand has been launched.

In December 2008 Iliad bought Alice ADSL: They also took over the activites in construction and operation of Datacenters, launched in 1999 by ISDnet, bought by Cable & Wireless in January 2000[6] overtaken by Tiscali France in June 2003[7] and finally renamed as Iliad Datacenter.

In April 2010 Online merges with Dedibox, another subsidiary of Iliad,[8] bringing together different hosting activities within a single brand.

In 2012 the company has opened its third datacenter of 11800 m² in Vitry-sur-Seine[9] after 11 months of construction works. The site received the first Tier-III certification in France by Uptime Institute[10] in January 2014.

Since 2012 the company publishes in real time the PUE of its datacenters on pue.online.net, in an effort of transparency.

In 2013 Online launed labs.online.net in preview. An infrastucture as a service offer, based on dedicated hardware and without virtualisation,[11] based on ARM CPUs.[12] The hardware is made in a factory near Laval in France. The platform received a huge success with more than 83,000 sessions created since its launch.[13]

In April 2015 the service left its beta status and has been renamed as Scaleway.[14] As the popularity of the platform grows, Online added servers with x86_64 based CPUs in March 2016.[15]

Connecitivity

Since August 2013 the network of Online is AS12876 ONLINE S.A.S. It is independed of the one of Free, which was not the case before. This allowed the company to move away from the closed interconnection policy of the internet service provider. In early 2015, the company annouced to have exceeded 400 Gb/s of immediate Internet traffic.[32]

In May 2016, Online shows a total of 1,642 Tb/s of capacity on his links at their weathermap and is present at the following Internet Exchange Points: France-IX, Equinix-IX, AMS-IX et Neutral Internet Exchange[33] · .[34]
