About D9 Club Sites

D9 Club Sites was launched in 2008 by Dan Thompson and Paula Brett. Both based in the UK, Dan and Paula have been working online as individuals and business partners for a number of years.

Dan comes from a farming background and has been working as a web designer since the late 1990's. A well established internet marketer and software developer, Dan is the author of several eBooks. He also runs a number of successful websites and maintains a loyal following with his weekly blog.

Paula trained and worked as an actress for a number of years before `retiring' to stay at home with her two young children. During this time she has become a well respected expert in the web design and marketing field, runs several websites, authors her own eBooks and helps many website beginners get their projects `up and running'.

In May 2007, Dan and Paula created their first major business partnership under the "D9" brand. They were both frustrated and tired of dealing with unreliable hosting companies that offered unacceptable downtime and slow, unprofessional support and decided to do something about it. After extensive research and market testing, they launched D9 Hosting in the Spring of 2007.

At the time of writing (Autumn 2008), D9 Hosting is responsible for hosting over 1,000 domains for clients based all over the world including the UK, USA, Australia, Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Holland, South Africa, India and many more!

Both Dan and Paula are heavily involved in local football and sports, so in early 2008 they decided to expand the D9 brand and move into the "offline" market. They were tired of seeing badly designed sports club websites that were impossible for the club members to update, so they started to research ways of providing local sports clubs with professional, easy to manage websites at minimal cost.

Fast forward to the back-end of 2008 and D9 Club Sites was born!
