(the 'cliff notes')
We started
Kastle Archives Productions in 1999 when a friend suggested we should have a website that showcased all the fantasy bondage illustrations we'd been creating since 1995 (the BBS era).
The company itself began as a proprietorship, and we incorporated it a few years later.
So we reg'd the domain, made it a free site (initially) and had it hosted for free through Go Casino.
But within a month we were exceeding the 2gb/day bandwidth Go Casino gave us, so we switched to paid hosting in Great Britain, changed to a paysite format - and progressed from there.
Since then we've expanded to four sites (2 pay/2 free)...and switched hosting once again to North America (2 hosted in the U.S./2 hosted in Canada).
