History

In 1999, Christianity.com was originally headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. Spencer Jones from Christian Broadcasting Network (who invested $10 million in the startup) and David Davenport, who was head of Pepperdine University for 10 years, served as COO and CEO. Other funding and credit partners are Sequoia Capital, which invested $10 million, and Comdisco Ventures Group, which loaned $10 million for equipment and services.[1] In the middle of the dotcom bust, the company went bankrupt and on December 18, 2001, the domain name was purchased by Renewal Enterprises, LLC.[2]

Salem Web Network announced the acquisition of Christianity.com from Renewal Enterprises on February 11, 2005[3] for approximately $3.4 million.
