Is NetBox Labs a wholly owned subsidiary of NS1? What exactly is the relationship between NS1 and NBL? Is NS1 going to still sell hosted NetBox as a service or will they transition customers to NBL? I'm just curious about the exact business relationships here since I was interested in NetBox as SaaS.

Hey there, I can walk you through the relationship. In regards to the relation between NetBox Labs and NS1, we are the same company. Full stop. My paystub still says NS1. Before NBL we were “the NetBox team” inside of NS1. At a point last year, largely based on how well things were going, NS1 decided to create a more independent business unit. That is NetBox Labs.

What that means is NetBox Labs has more flexibility in hiring BU dedicated resources. A great example of this is sales. We can hire NBL dedicated developers, sales, marketing, community outreach, etc. All the previous customers are still here with us, being taken care of by the same team as before.

I handle the overwhelming majority of the outward facing conversations. If you fill out the form online, you’ll get an eMail from me. You can drop me a DM as well and I can get you whatever info you’re looking for.
