Hi! I'm Jaime :)

My professional journey through cyberspace started in 2002.

Inspired by my own curiosity, I decided to learn about web hosting, basic HTML and the domain registration services ecosystem: registrars, registries, DNS, IANA, ICANN, and the like. In parallel, I partnered with a good friend of mine to take care of the Sales & Business Development side of his web design venture.

I registered my first domain name, interalta.com, in 2003, which marked the beginning of my own business venture, long before Instagram, YouTube, or even Facebook existed. The assets were successfully sold a couple of years later, but I kept the domain name for myself.

I started a virtual community in 2006 with just a single post to discuss web hosting & domain names. It grew exponentially over the following years, becoming the leading Spanish-language website on the topic, featuring over 510,000 posts. I successfully sold comunidadhosting.com in 2019. Please read on to discover some interesting figures.

Since then, I have accumulated over 22 years of experience in Internet-related ventures: Web Hosting / Domain Names / cPanel / DNS / Helpdesk / Customer Service / Technical Sales / SEO / Marketing / Benchmarking / Copywriting / Product Management / Business Development. I still own a large portfolio of domains and manage over a dozen of web properties.

Get in touch with me at any time via LinkedIn, Twitter or this contact form, especially if you are near the Glasgow area or whenever I'm in Colombia or Spain. I'm always up for a cup of tea!

My Story in Figures

510,000 Posts

That's the number of posts that my former web property comunidadhosting.com, a forum-based community, had reached in 2019 before I sold it.

156,000 Visits

That's the (average) number of visits that all of my web properties receive each month, combined.

42,000 Members

That's the number of members that my former web property comunidadhosting.com, a forum-based community, had reached in 2019 before I sold it.

47 Countries

That's the number of countries I've been to so far. Some of them because of work, like Mexico or Australia, but most of them because of the pleasure of travelling around the world.

19 Years Donating CPU Run Time

I joined WorldCommunityGrid (by IBM & BOINC) back in 2005 and I have donated over 18 years of CPU Run Time ever since to support scientific research on topics related to health and sustainability. Would you like to contribute as well?

17 Websites

That's the number of web properties I currently own and manage. In fact, 18 including this one. For example, a blog about hosting (in Spanish) or a free web tool to Check DNS records (in English and other languages).

15 Years Donating Disk Space

I started to give back to Internet in 2009 by donating disk space and bandwidth to support several Open Source projects, from a number of mirror servers around the world. Over a decade later, I still provide and maintain a free, public mirror server.

5 Years Donating to Internet Archive

I like to donate to the Internet Archive often. Would you like to contribute as well? Even a small donation of just $5 every now and then can make a positive impact to help to preserve the largest online, non-profit library and web archive worldwide.

1 Post

Just one single post. That's how my greatest achievement to date (comunidadhosting.com) began in 2006... and from there to more than 510,000 posts under my vision and leadership. So, who knows? Maybe one single message might be the beginning of new, exciting opportunities!
