XMission was founded in 1993 by technology entrepreneur Pete Ashdown in Utah. From its early days as a private, Utah-based internet service provider, the company built a reputation for quality service, leading-edge technical expertise, and strong advocacy for the local community. In its formative years, XMission focused on providing internet access to individuals and businesses in Utah, distinguishing itself through reliable connectivity and customer support. As the internet grew, XMission expanded its technical offerings beyond basic connectivity. The company added sophisticated hosting services, including shared hosting, managed cloud, and colocation, as well as business telephony, email, and high-speed connectivity solutions. This evolution transformed XMission from a regional ISP into a global business provider serving customers with a broad portfolio of internet infrastructure services. A significant development in XMission's history was the establishment of SLIX (Salt Lake Internet eXchange), Utah's premier Internet Exchange Point. SLIX allows networks to interconnect directly, reducing latency and improving performance by linking directly to major networks such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. This positioned XMission as a key player in Utah's internet infrastructure. XMission also became known for its commitment to community and sustainability. Throughout its history, the company has supported hundreds of Utah nonprofit organizations by providing free web hosting services and sponsoring community-based events and facilities. XMission purchases enough Renewable Energy Credits (REC) to offset its entire carbon footprint and has achieved the EPA's Energy Star Certification with a perfect score of 100. In recent years, XMission has expanded its fiber internet service, XMission Fiber, across numerous Utah communities and into Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico. The company continues to operate as a private entity, with founder Pete Ashdown remaining a central figure. Its headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah.
