Yebbo's History
During the booming years of internet (in the 90th) Yebbo was just a hobby project. It was in 1996 when we had our first on line personal home page. That home page was hosted at SDSU engineering department. It was the beginning of long 9 years journey. The home page was one of the most visited site for long time. It was the passage to the new world. The homepage was used to design free web sites for churches, sport clubs, family albums and local mini yellow pages. There was no money generated from that web site, it was simply an information feeding web site. At that time, registering a domain name and hosting a commercial web site was very expensive. After four years as a 411 page we decided to buy our first domain name www.yebbo.com , that was in Feb 1998. That was one of the biggest achievement for our dream company. For years www.yebbo.com was just the same as the home page we had. It was just information feeding web site.
