Welcome to the new Blastnet community

Blastnet was founded in 1989 to offer its users free services. At start in 1989 we offered IRC chat to our users under the name Blastnet IRC network. Later we grew and expanded with new servers until we reached the magical number of 20 servers. As time went by IRC as medium lost its appeal among users and other channels of communication took its place. In this period Blastnet offered web hosting as well as space for open source projects, as well as offering free email service. In 2007 Blastnet staff was all occupied with other things and we let Blastnet become a lost in space project for several years, until we took on a new course in 2011 and started the slow project of developing new services and offer them under the Blastnet name. As the final part of the restructuring we are now rebranding the site itself, and will introduce the new updated services one by one. So keep an eye out for whats coming next.
