The Planet was a privately held dedicated server company based in Texas. In May 2006, the company merged with Everyone's Internet, which used the EV1 Servers brand. In 2010, they merged with SoftLayer. All services provided by both companies were then operated under the SoftLayer name.
The Planet's support system was called Orbit and was located at orbit.theplanet.com. Prior to the merger, The Planet operated under several different brands. They included: "Server Matrix", which served the low-price end of the market; "Total Control", which featured servers with complete remote control, such as Dell DRAC and Remote Console capabilities;
Orbit was the main way customers knew they were dealing with The Planet as a company rather than with one of the different brands they operated. The Planet then sold servers almost exclusively through their website rather than different brands which had been unified into their website.
On November 10, 2010, GI Partners announced that the merger of The Planet and SoftLayer was effective. On November 16, 2010, The Planet was rebranded SoftLayer as part of the merger. On June 4, 2013, IBM announced its acquisition of SoftLayer.
