The first version of e-nautia (or more precisely its ancestor) is started during the summer of 2004 and has the name of JM Online, a site launched a few years earlier. JM Online is then still a personal site with some rubrics included in the current media center. In late 2004, e-boy inaugurates the member spaces allowing registration and wishes a more professional way for the site. So the site changes its name with the adoption of a domaine for the first time: e-tower.net is born.

Finally, e-nautia tries the Web 2.0 (which is in fact the same Web, but with a advanced use of the existing languages) with in particular the adding of an instant messenger function (chat).
