FPS Networks is a full service Internet consulting firm specializing in interactive website development and online advertising.

In 2005 FPS Networks successfully negotiated the sale of two distinct business units to media conglomerates Viacom (Atom Entertainment) and Hearst (UGO Entertainment). These sales were substantial enough to require approval under the Investment Canada Act and FPS Networks was one of the largest shareholders of Atom Entertainment when it was acquired by Viacom for 200 million dollars in August 2006.

Between 2008-2009 FPS Networks purchased over 4 million dollars of premium domain names and intellectual property. In 2008 FPS Networks launched an entirely new business unit - Hallpass Media.
