+IPng is more than just a company. We operate a privately owned collection of
+hosting software and network services. As such, we can make decisions quickly.
+The roots of IPng go all the way back to the 90s, when IPv6 was called the
+_next generation internet protocol_, or _IPng_ for short.
+
+Rather than dazzle you with pictures of clouds, grandiose projections of our
+"global IP backbone", and other claims that small businesses make to appear
+larger than they are, we're happy to show what we know, what we own, and how we
+can help you accomplish your goals if you want to work with us.
+
+Our mission is to make networking and hosting services available to our
+customers, partners and users with a flexible yet uncompromising quality.
+
+## Our story
+
+As most companies, it started with an opportunity. We got our hands on a
+physical location which had a raised floor at 60m2 and a significant power
+connection of 3x200A, and a metro fiber connection at 10Gig. We asked ourselves
+'what would it take to turn this into a colo?' and the rest is history. Thanks
+to our partners who benefit from this infrastructure as well, making this first
+small colocation site was not only interesting, but also very rewarding.
+
+The networking and service provider industry is quite small and well organized
+into _Network Operator Groups_, so we work under the assumption that everybody
+knows everybody. We'd definitely like to pitch in and share what we have built,
+both the physical bits but also the narrative.
+
+## Our Founder
+
+We have been operating autonomous systems and corporate networks for decades.
+In Switzerland, we incorporated in early 2021 into a limited liability company.
