History
[edit | edit source]Angelfire was founded in 1996 and was originally a combination Web site building and medical transcription service.[1][2] Eventually, the site dropped the transcription service and focused solely on website hosting, offering only paid memberships.[2] The site was bought by Mountain View, California–based WhoWhere on October 20, 1997,[3] which, in turn, was subsequently purchased by the search engine company Lycos on August 11, 1998, for US$133 million.[4][5]
