FNQ.net.au is owned and created by Robert Rutten of Rutten Technology Services .

It has been in existance since around 2005 and started as a domain for friends and family email accounts. We wanted an email address that is:

• Independent -- We didn't want to be a slave to our ISP.
• Local --  We're residents of Far North Queensland.
• Affordable -- We don't want to be limited by free email hosting, but don't need over-the-top expensive hosting. 

Sometime later, other people expressed an interest in having their own FNQ.net.au email address.

Now FNQ.net.au has been opened up to the public.
