History
Event Horizon
Hyperspace started life as a LAN zone played by a small group of friends, Dr Brain among them. They eventually decided to put it online to try and get more players in it. Having something of a scientific bent, they decided to name it Event Horizon after the point of no return surrounding black holes. The zone, once online never took off. It was briefly hosted on Can-Link before the hosting service imploded. After considering that the zone had only reached a maximum population of 4 players, the zone was abandoned and the group persued more rewarding games such as Infantry and Starcraft.
Dog Fight
Months later, Dr Brain revived the zone under the name Dog Fight with a new map. Again, nothing happened with the zone and it was closed.
Jeff's Zone
In order to experiment with Subgame2 Dr Brain again hosted Dog Fight under the new name Jeff's Stupid Zone. After some days of fiddling, Dr Brain finally figured out how to make Hypertunnels work. He remade the map and added some Hypertunnels around the very edge of the map. The zone's population doubled to a whole 6 players at peak times. Encouraged by this incredible population boost, more hypertunnels were added and the zone was renamed to Jeff's Zone.
Hosting, at last
Ever since the collapse of Can-Link, the zone had been hosted by Dr Brain on his cable connection. This lead to occasional downtime because of computer crashes and also to more lag than was preferable. SSDZ offered its services and the zone was moved.
Hyperspace
Dr Brain felt, now that the zone was picking up, that the name Jeff's Zone was no longer good enough. So, he started asking the player population about new name ideas. Someone suggested the name Hyperspeed and everyone agreed that it was a great name. Somehow, Dr Brain forgot the exact details of the name and changed the name to Hyperspace. Only later did he realize that everyone had agreed to Hyperspeed, but by then, it was too late to change.

SSXH
The intermittent failures of SSDZ lead Dr Brain and picano2.0 to search for new hosting. SSXH under Delta_5 agreed to host the zone and a long period of properity for Hyperspace started.
SSND/SSDX
Eventually, SSXH decided to close down. A new host was needed and the SSDX network accepted Hyperspace. After several moves between servers on the SSN network, Hyperspace eventually settled down.
SSI
Due to the collapse of SSN, Hyperspace was again hostless and had to be hosted by Dr Brain's less-than-perfect connection. Eventually, hosting was secured from SSI (run by 1stStrike and Argyle). Again, the zone flourished.
TWCore & AreaBot
As part of the SSI hosting package, Hyperspace developers were given access to the TWCore bot system (at the time, it was not public access).
