About OnRamp
Founded in Austin, Texas, OnRamp Access has been providing all of the services necessary to build, deploy and manage Internet operations since its inception in 1994. As one of Austin’s original Internet operations companies, OnRamp began connecting businesses to the Internet by providing Internet dial-up, ISDN and T-1 service. Within a year, OnRamp’s state-of-the-art Data Center housed servers for Colocation and Managed Server customers. As the need for Internet connection, server storage and management increased, so did the demand for websites. The expansion of OnRamp's customized Internet services led to the formation of one of Austin’s original and largest web development departments and the creation of more than 700 websites and applications, including sites for the State of Texas, Earl Campbell, the Girl Scouts Lone-Star Council and James Avery Craftsman.
Today, OnRamp is still the only Data Center in Austin and Central Texas to provide a single source for all of the services and resources to fully integrate a company’s Internet operations. Consistently ranked among the top service providers in the Austin Business Journal’s “Book of Lists,” OnRamp is one of Austin’s original Internet companies continuing to achieve growth and success amidst the high tech ebb and flow.
