Company Information

It is not often that you come across a business that has a compelling story as unique as directNIC, one that you can relate to and suddenly want to be a part of. directNIC's journey in the domain name and web hosting business is one of hard work, determination, security and stability through the most challenging times, and an incredible passion for customer satisfaction no matter what the extreme circumstances are. And directNIC certainly knows a thing or two about challenging times and extreme circumstances.

It was during Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst modern day natural disasters to ever happen in the United States, that directNIC was faced with its biggest challenge. At the time of the Category 3 Hurricane, directNIC was located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Faced with a dire situation and a city under siege by a direct impact of the storm, directNIC took matters in their own hands not just to save their business, but to also keep the business of its hundred of thousand customers up and running during what would be the storm of the century. With a determined team, directNIC withstood the storm, a power outage that lasted several days, and a city that was under water all in an effort to keep the directNIC data center secure and stable and our customers' businesses online. With pure fortitude, a generator and 55 gallon drums filled with fuel, directNIC stayed fully operational in the most challenging of times. Not only did directNIC keep their own lights on and their customers' domains and web sites accessible, they also provided critical infrastructure support to keep other parts of New Orleans up and running. That is the directNIC way.
