About T35 Hosting
Helping you succeed since 1997!
T35 Hosting was founded in 1997 by Alex Melen in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and incorporated in 1999. The name comes from the “Top 35” sites list that was the original use of the t35.com domain. For the next fifteen years T35 ran one of the web’s largest free, ad-supported hosting services, offering unlimited storage and bandwidth at a time when most hosts metered both. The user base reached roughly 400,000 by 2007 and passed 600,000 in 2009, when T35 also took in a wave of former GeoCities users after Yahoo shut that service down.
Free hosting was retired in 2012 as platform abuse made it impossible to run well, and T35 moved fully to the managed shared, WordPress, Magento and dedicated hosting we run today as part of Melen LLC. Along the way, T35 was one of the hosts the Electronic Frontier Foundation defended in its 2007–2009 challenge to the Ideaflood “virtual subdomain” patent, which the U.S. Patent Office ultimately struck down.
T35 and its founder have been covered by Forbes, Bloomberg, BusinessWeek, NPR, ABC News, Business Insider, Mashable, WHIR, YHP and others. T35 was ranked #19 on YoungBiz’s 2001 list of America’s top 100 young business owners, named to Bloomberg’s “101 Best Web Freebies,” and recognized as Babson College’s Student Business of the Year; Alex was named one of BusinessWeek’s Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 in 2006.

Inside Our Data Center
All of our servers are housed in a tier-1 datacenter located in the Metro-NYC, just 10 miles from our headquarters. We own and manage all of the equipment in the data center and have been using the same tier-1 bandwidth suppliers for over a decade.
Unlike many providers that host their own sites in a different place and give their customers low-quality bandwidth and servers, we host both our own and all client sites on only the best.
