NetCetra all that and more

Our History

From our first website launch in 1994 to our nationwide client base today, NetCetra’s story has always been about growth through innovation and service. Over the years, we’ve adapted to every major shift in technology—expanding from basic web design into full-scale hosting, online marketing, and data management. Each milestone marks a step forward in our mission to deliver reliable, personal, and performance-driven digital solutions.

NetCetra LLC was founded in 1994 by James “Jim” Mahlmann with a clear vision — to provide dependable, end-to-end internet services for businesses of all sizes. Starting as a small web development and hosting provider in New Jersey, NetCetra quickly built a reputation for hands-on service and practical digital solutions that deliver real results.

By 1996, the company had formally incorporated and expanded into website design, hosting, and domain management, serving a growing base of regional clients. As the internet matured, NetCetra added SEO and online marketing to help businesses compete in the new digital economy.

During the 2000s, NetCetra established its own data center in Walla Walla, Washington, gaining complete control over uptime, security, and performance. This in-house infrastructure became a defining advantage — allowing NetCetra to deliver 24/7 technical support and hosting services trusted by clients nationwide.

Through the 2010s, the company expanded further into responsive web design, e-commerce development, Google Ads management, video marketing, and social media optimization. Despite new tools and trends, NetCetra’s focus has remained constant: to help clients succeed online through reliable technology and personal attention.

Today, headquartered in Toms River, New Jersey, NetCetra continues to serve organizations across the U.S. with a commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term client relationships. In 2026, the company proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary — marking three decades of innovation, adaptability, and dedication to the businesses it supports.

The company is now using AI in all its programming and marketing to increase visibility and speed to turn a project around.
