Will Swan
CEO, 512 Hosting
Welcome to 512 Hosting. I want to personally welcome every new team member who joins us. This company was built on doing things the right way, and I take pride in being hands-on with every part of this business.
If you ever have any questions, concerns, or just need to talk — my door is always open. I believe in direct communication and I'm here for my team. Don't hesitate to reach out to me directly.
That said, please keep in mind that all formal employment matters, disputes, policy changes, and any legal-related concerns must go through the proper channels and be reviewed by our legal team before any action is taken. This is to protect both you and the company.
I'm glad you're here. Let's build something great together.

Benefits Enrollment
Plan Year 2026 · Choose the coverage that's right for you.
Before you start
As a full-time employee you're eligible to enroll effective the first of the month following your hire date. 512 Hosting pays a portion of medical premiums; your share is deducted pre-tax. You can review the full before electing. Questions: hr@512hosting.com.
Commute & Lyft Rides
512 Hosting covers your rides between home and the data center.
Commute & Lyft — Now Being Processed
Ride setup is now a processed request rather than an instant activation. Once you submit the details below, 512 Hosting reviews your pickup address and schedule with the transportation team and books your Lyft rides on your behalf. Please allow a few business days for your rides to appear. HR will contact you if anything needs confirming.
How this process works
1. You submit your home pickup address, days, and times below.
2. HR reviews and approves the request — the destination is already set for you.
3. The transportation team schedules your Lyft rides from home to the data center and back.
4. You get a confirmation, and ride updates come to the mobile number you provide.
Direct Deposit
Your direct deposit is active. Update the form below only if your account changes.
Your first payment is a mailed check
Even though your direct deposit is set up, ADP mails a paper check for the first payment while your account completes pre-note verification. Allow 1–2 weeks for it to arrive. Every payment after that deposits automatically. Track your check ›
Your information is private
For your security, your bank details are sent directly to 512 Hosting payroll and are not stored in this portal. You'll need to re-enter them only if your account changes.
