NetZero

NetZero is a Web Hosts and Internet Service Provider company located in Woodland Hills of California. Besides being the owner of BlueLight Internet Services and Juno Online Services, NetZero is also a subsidiary of United Online.

The company was launched in October 1998. BlueLight Internet is a sister concern of NetZero. It was run by Kmart and Yahoo! along with NetZero, and offered free Internet access to the users. In lieu of displaying ads on a permanent toolbar on the various email servers, NetZero promised to offer a free Internet service when it was launched. The company’s sister wing was previously owned by Simpli and RocketCash, before it was taken over by NetZero.

The main features of NetZero are:

• Fastest Dial-Up systems
• Norton AntiVirus is included in the service for free
• There is a Money Back Guarantee policy that comes with the products and services of the company
• Connection is excellent that helps the users to save time and work faster
• Email services assured to protect your inbox from the Spam mails. It also guarantees the security of the mails.
• The Pop-Up Blocker stops unwanted advertisements to hit your window when you are working.

Due to extensive uses of the internet, NetZero, with the beginning of January 2001, started charging for time over 40 hours a month. The free service was later lowered to 10 hours per month. A new policy was introduced by NetZero in July 2005 called 3G, which meant third generation of Internet.
