Our History

FazeWire is a company that was founded about one year ago. We are basically a small company that is committed to our customers. Because we are small, we can do things that large companies just cannot handle. We are always here for you, whether you need a little tune up in your site or an e-mail account setup. Around August of 2007, FazeWire had its name changed from MinkHosting to FazeWire. The business is run from New York and the servers are currently in North Carolina. Remember, if there is anything we can do for you don't hesitate to ask.
