We really, really like the Open Internet

Everything we build, make and do is on the Internet but that’s not the only reason we think the Internet is important.

Our Story

Tucows started in 1993 by changing not just how people connected to the Internet but also who could get online.

We continue to push for change at every level of the Internet. Collectively, we manage tens of millions of domain names from .com to .xyz and work with tens of thousands of resellers (OpenSRS, Enom). We eliminate all the ugliness from buying and owning your domain and email (Hover).

We changed what people expect from mobile phone service (Ting Mobile). We’re changing the way entire cities connect to and think about the Internet as we build and light true fiber to the premises networks across North America (Ting Internet).

We’re a collection of scrappy, stable, little, big brands. Together, we’re an overnight success story 29 years in the making and we’re a long way from finished.

Our beliefs

The Internet

The Open Internet is an agent for positive change. It belongs to everyone and no one. We will help it to resist all attempts at ownership.

Innovation

We see and celebrate innovation and creativity in every employee, customer and partner we work with. We try stuff and we capitalize.

Simplicity

We’re building things for people, not for machines. We choose simplicity over complexity every time.

We > Me

We are a mix of people working together to solve problems big and small. Together, we’re stronger, smarter and better. We beats me.

"It’s often said that variety is the spice of life, and I can wholeheartedly say that there has never been a dull moment working at Tucows and I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing and talented people along the way.When I started as a customer advisor back in 2013, I always felt like I had a 'seat at the table'.

My position on the org chart was never an obstacle or a source of contention. I remember attending stand ups and sprint planning sessions and demos. I remember interacting with Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams. I remember going for lunch with the VP of Marketing. I never felt like I had to stay in my lane - I was always encouraged to speak up, to contribute, to participate and it was always received with respect and appreciation. Now, working at the same company for more than a decade, I am so passionate about curating a similar experience for my team: making sure they have access to people that can help them, asking them for their opinions, letting them take the wheel and go for a spin, letting them make mistakes and learn from them. I trust my team. I love that my team brings their authentic selves to work every day and that is what makes us so unique.

Everyone has so much to offer and everyone deserves a chance. People have different definitions of 'teamwork', but we embody it every day in everything we do."
