After 15 Years, FastMail Finally Acquires Their .Com - With Rob Mueller
FastMail started in 1999 and today serves hundreds of thousands of customers. They launched on FastMail.fm because it was what was available and memorable, and proving the business model was more important than trying to acquire the .com domain name.
