17. How many companies do you own now? What are they all? Discuss.
I curently own 36 corporations but most of them are NOT revenue producing corporations. Only a handful of them actually have a revenue stream that comes from outside of our family of companies while the others operate for tax purposes only. The ones that matter are:
NationalNet - This, of course, is our hosting company. You may have heard of it...most people say it is the most expensive hosting money can buy...but damn well worth it. In actuality now-a-days we are alot more competitive on price than we once were and we still offer that legendary NatNet Support. I often joke that with our unparalleled buying power we can really beat any price we want to....we just don't want to all the time. Then we are just like everybody else.
NatNames - Is our Domain Registration arm. It is not a huge company, it was designed for some of our specfic customers to be able to buy their domains through us. NatNames quielty does registration for a quite a few domains and for some very large domain holders. At NatNames we get to know our clients personally and we watch over their domains just like we watch over their servers at NatNet. We still have that same 24x7x365 support from a HUMAN BEING that NatNet is known for and we charge a fair price.
WebSolutions of Georgia - This is our Web Development arm. At one time we had designers, programmers, DBA's etc and would build entire web enabled solutions for companies all over the world. Now this is not a focus for us but the company still exists.
Next Entertainment, Inc. - This is the company that owns many of the Adult Sites that we still own. Primarily, Club100 and all of the affiliated sites.
Toxxic Transportation - This is our luxury transportation company that I described above. Like everything else we do, our limo company is the best, high-end luxury transportation company in Atlanta and we charge a little more than most of the companies here in town for that extra luxury.
Melmo Properties - This is our Real Estate company. We buy properties and then turn around and lease them out to tennants both commercial and resiential. (Where did we come up with the name, you ask? Well, when Jake was just a baby and he liked watching Sesame Street on TV and Video he could not say "Elmo" so he called him "Melmo" and I wanted to name the Real Estate arm something that had more meaning than most people knew).
We have some new things, as well, that will be released in the very near future, but I do not want to let the proverbial cat out of the bag yet. I am sure there is more but that is all I can think of off the top of my head...it's early ;)
