What does New Dream Network do?

First and foremost, we are a web design and hosting company, who wants to make enough money to put some bread on the table. We offer a full range of professionals specialized in the multiple disciplines necessary to create those makes-you-want-to-stand-up-and-scream-for-buttermilk web sites.
How did you professionals find each other?
We are all still free-lance webbers who have formed a community (the New Dream Network) through which we can benefit from each others strengths and improve our own weaknesses. When a job comes in, the member deemed most suitable for the task takes it and if there are parts that she needs more help in she can farm out those particular tasks to other members throughout the network.
Do you only handle small sites?
Not at all! New Dream Network is an equal-opportunity provider and we do not discriminate against any potential site on the basis of size, difficulty or budget! Although we can easily give the personal attention that small businesses and individuals deserve through our network of professionals, no job is so large that we as a whole cannot make it amazing through out collective creativity.
What kind of web sites do you make?
Anything and everything, of course! From personal pages celebrating a wedding, to charitable organizations, to corporate sites, to just plain entertaining sites, we handle them all.
But I want features! What can you do for my site?
We will write you custom Java applications, CGI scripts, and HTML. We will design custom graphics, animations, and sound. We will provide free counseling on how to best market your site so that you get maximum hits fast, and the people visiting your site are there for the reason you intended. We will register you a domain name (like puncture.com) and provide you with unlimited e-mail forwarding at that name. We will give you free access accounting for your site. We will make absolutely sure that you are satisfied!
I'm sold. How much for a site?
It varies. We don't believe in those lame package deals offered by other web "service" companies (e.g. they charge you per link), and we price all of our sites on a per-case basis. We will, however beat any quote while providing you with the best web page in the shortest amount of time. Prices can vary a lot depending on what sort of services you need for your site. Java and CGI programming along with custom graphics, animation, and web design are the most expensive services and are billed at $50/hour with a maximum amount of hours. To get a good idea of our pricing in general, use this as a scale:
Our hosting comes in a number of plans which are VERY cheap and are explained clearly and concisely. You can pay by credit card securely now too!
Can I become a member?
Possibly! We're always looking for the brightest, most talented, and wackiest individuals out there to add to our collection! Send us mail at newdream@newdream.net telling us you are interested, as well as giving us some links toyour work. If you really impress us we'll set you up with an account on destro, our P100 with 48MB of RAM and two 2GB drives and welcome you to the club!

the history of ndn

When was New Dream Network founded?

New Dream Network was founded way back in April of 1996, when Dallas, Michael, and Josh got together and bought their first server and hooked it up on a T1 line.
When did you first see profits?
Pretty much immediately, since Dallas already had the Shootersedge site lined up and that more than paid for the server. It's easy to make a profit when your employees worked for free!
What about upgrading?
Most recently we've added 32MB of RAM to our Apache server as well as another 2GB hard drive so that we can back up all our sites daily onto the other drive. That way if either drive fails we can restore all the data from it off the other one. We are also planning an upgrade from our T1 line (1.5 Mbit/sec) to a 20Mbit/sec line, even though the network load has been manageable so far.
Who else has joined NDN?
Really, it's not just Dallas, Mike, and I! Go check out the headquarters for links to all our member's pages.. an impressive bunch!
