Best Web Hosting Services

Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - June 27, 2008 - The Planet privately held dedicated hosting company, has initiated expansion of its Dallas D6 data center, for an additional 12,000 square feet added to the company’s operations.

Jeff Lowenberg, Vice President of Facilities at The Planet noted, ”As energy costs continue to climb, operating our data centers at peak performance is absolutely critical, both to our company and to our customers. Our goal is to use best practices and a practical approach to optimize our operations.”

Bringing The Planet’s total data center footprint to 167,000 square feet, the company expects the new data center to open in November. The company operates six data centers, with four located in Dallas and two in Houston. The new space will feature an enhanced energy-efficient design that utilizes improved measures to completely separate hot and cold air. The company expects to improve the data center ‘coefficient of efficiency’ to approximately 1.5. The coefficient of efficiency is an EPA- and Uptime Institute-recognized measurement of the total power necessary to operate a data center divided by its critical power, which is the energy required to operate its computers. An ‘ideal’ ranking is 1.6.

The enhanced energy-efficient measures include extending the returns of the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units through the ceiling and utilizing the space above the ceiling as a return air path. By using CPI (Chatsworth Products Inc.) ducted exhaust cabinets in the new phase, The Planet is taking the next steps beyond traditional ‘hot aisle-cold aisle’ setups to completely isolate the hot and cold air in the data center.

Ultimately, The Planet endeavors to provide the following:

High level of network capacity and speed to deliver peak performance
Instant scalability to handle even the largest spikes in network traffic
Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture to assure reliability and stability
Multiple layer network security that prevents Delayed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks from harming businesses
Knowledgeable experts with a passion for excellence and a commitment to operate the best networks in the business

The Planet is a leading provider of On Demand IT Infrastructure solutions, hosting more than 22,000 small and medium size businesses and 6.7 million web sites worldwide, using the best choice of servers, software tools and support, backed by state-of-the-art facilities and network connectivity.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands - (The Hosting News) - June 27, 2008 - International business hosting services firm, LeaseWeb’s dedicated solution, has been chosen to support e-commerce Global online shopping comparison web site, Twenga.

Twenga chose hosting by LeaseWeb, in order to initially obtain all of the product data from e-commerce websites indexed, since the company needs more than 100 dedicated servers. LeaseWeb has installed the dedicated servers at EvoSwitch, the CO2-neutral datacenter. Expanding rapidly internationally, Twenga chose The Netherlands for its hosting provider.

LeaseWeb provides a Linux-based dedicated hosting solution to Twenga, which uses the sizeable LeaseWeb hosting network (with a current capacity of 210 Gbps). The rapidly growing solution initially uses over 100 servers divided over several 19-inch racks at EvoSwitch, the CO2-neutral datacenter.

The hosting solution’s design was developed by Twenga’s engineers in collaboration with LeaseWeb’s engineers. The heavy crawl technology will require even more hardware capacity in the near future.

The company has explained, ”A good shopping search engine that displays accurate results with the right products and prices needs a lot of capacity. Right now the TwengaBot uses about 100 servers, which together scan some 100 million web pages per day. But the LeaseWeb engineers will have to add new servers for us every day. I even expect that within just two years we will need to have more than 500 servers in place at the datacenter.”
Recently, LeaseWeb was selected by new multilingual Internet platform for live broadcasting, zaplive.tv, for its international hosting network.
Because of the size of the Dutch hosting provider LeaseWeb, the zaplive.tv went live in April 2008. Everyone can easily make his own programme or even his own web-tv via the portal, all for free.

Companies, institutions and private persons can stream concerts, parties, reports on hobbies or sport events, even press conferences, only using a webcam or camera and a computer with Internet connection. zaplive.tv not only is live but also interactive. Users can communicate via live chat and rate single broadcasts as well as commenting on them.

As an Internet start-up, zaplive.tv hopes to generate enough Internet traffic to attract advertisers within a year. Christian Steiger, Technical Director and Co-Founder of zaplive.tv explained, ”Our earning model depends on the Internet traffic we generate. And it started off well. We had a lot of interest from viewers in the first weeks. One point surely was our programme including performances of top ten bands. We had the finals of German premier league basketball and real Hollywood stars on the red carpet. And one user was streaming live from one of the biggest electronic parties in Germany with DJ-Sets from some of the world’s best DJs.”

zaplive is a multilingual portal for live streaming, based in Germany. Companies, institutions and private persons can use the streaming platform for a live and global broadcast of their events, such as concerts, parties, hobby reports, sport reports or press conferences. Users only need a camcorder or webcam and computer with Internet connection. The streaming technology, on which the platform is based, ensures that the live images can be displayed via the Internet. zaplive started in April 2008 after four months of hard work to take the platform into production.

LeaseWeb is an international supplier of hosting products and services that specializes in both Microsoft and Linux, and focuses primarily on the professional market. The company is among the top 20 hosting providers in the world and provides services such as web hosting, dedicated hosting, colocated hosting, VPS and streaming, as well as technical support. LeaseWeb owns a Cisco-powered network offering a bandwidth of over 210 Gbps, which extends across five data centers in the Amsterdam region via the major telecom carriers. LeaseWeb is also present on Internet exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Frankfurt, New York, Vienna , Stockholm, Warsaw, Zurich, Prague and Madrid. Founded in 1997, hosting provider LeaseWeb now manages 11,000 servers. Its customers include Starbucks, Hyves, Telegraaf Media Groep, Koninklijke Joh. Ensched, PricewaterhouseCoopers, AVRO, Direct Wonen, and University.

McLean, Virginia - (The Hosting News) - June 19, 2008 - Business web hosting firm, ServInt, has adopted and developed a new Green Initiative, in an effort to demonstrate its commitment to climate-positive hosting.

ServInt’s Green Initiative also outlines commitments to responsible recycling of hardware at end of life. ServInt recycles all recyclable components and meets or exceeds environmental standards for the disposal of all non-recyclable hazardous components.

Reed Caldwell, Founder and CEO of ServInt noted, ”The web hosting industry is a major contributor to global energy consumption and carbon emissions. ServInt is committed to offering hosting services that have a positive effect on the environment.”

ServInt’s Green Initiative deploys multiple green methodologies to help customers operate with minimal environmental impact. ServInt’s commitment to climate-positive hosting applies to its entire line of Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting services. Each of ServInt’s VPS services is backed by a commitment to offset the total carbon footprint of the VPS by at least 110 percent. ServInt accomplishes its carbon-offsetting goals through large-scale reforestation campaigns operated by American Forests.
To ensure a truly climate-positive approach, ServInt calculates its reforestation commitment not only on the energy consumption of the host servers, but on its entire VPS infrastructure. That includes compensating for all core routing and switching equipment, for cooling and redundant power operations, and for an extensive back-LAN that provides customers with free backups and centralized update repositories.
As part of its Green Initiative, ServInt announced that two of its most popular hosting services are now its most environmentally responsible offerings. ServInt’s SuperVPS and UltimateVPS services feature low per-capita energy consumption through efficient virtualization. These services also make exclusive use of Dell low-voltage server hardware, which provides high-performance while operating with a much smaller carbon footprint.
Both SuperVPS and UltimateVPS are powerful replacements for the traditional dedicated server. They offer customers increased redundancy while providing the same computing performance of a traditional dedicated server with significant cost savings. These solutions are ideal for small and medium-size web-based companies that demand a hosting service managed by experienced professionals.
Mr. Caldwell added, ”More businesses now realize that, besides harming the environment, energy-inefficient computing can adversely affect their company’s financial health and lead to serious competitive disadvantages. Our method of virtualization improves energy efficiency via the decommissioning of unnecessary physical servers and higher utilization of the remaining, more energy-efficient servers.”
ServInt was founded in Northern Virginia in 1995 as one of the first web-hosting companies to offer a managed, dedicated server solution. ServInt is a provider of high-reliability web hosting for businesses worldwide. It services are provided from multiple data centers, including a scalable suite of VPS, dedicated and enterprise-level server options. ServInt’s commitment to Green IT services is demonstrated by its popular Virtual Private Server (VPS) solutions. ServInt’s clients include thousands of customers in over 60 countries.

Dallas, Texas - (The Hosting News) - June 4, 2008 - On-demand hosting services and virtual data center provider for the small to medium enterprise (SME), SoftLayer, is receiving its delivery of servers under a new packaging program, designed to reduce packing materials by 80-percent.

The program was created through several months of close collaboration between SoftLayer and its server manufacturer, Supermicro. Joshua Rushe, Vice President of Operations at SoftLayer noted, ”From the shipment of our first server in 2006, SoftLayer has actively recycled all its data center materials. But with our rate of growth, it was essential we do even more. We looked for a way to go beyond recycling and reduce the production of unnecessary material. We hope this program sets a new industry standard that will help reduce the total environmental impact of data centers worldwide.”

SoftLayer’s reduced packaging program provides multiple environmental benefits. It eliminates more than 8 pounds of packing material per server, as well as the shipment of user manuals and unnecessary components, thereby greatly reducing the volume of materials produced or recycled. Moreover, these measures reduce the total shipping ”footprint,” enabling the same sized shipping containers to carry more units and reducing the amount of fuel consumed and carbon emissions produced when shipping.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that recycling one ton of cardboard and paper products leads to saving:

17 trees
3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
360 gallons of water
100 gallons of gasoline
60 pounds of air pollutants
10,401 kilowatts of electricity

The savings from eliminating the initial production of the cardboard is even more dramatic. Based on these figures, SoftLayer’s new program will save over 750 trees per year.

Mr. Rushe added, ”We continue working with key partners like Supermicro to create more ways to make data center operations as environmentally efficient as possible.”

Recently, SoftLayer completed the first level of integration between its API and the Plesk utility for managing server infrastructure. As a result of the upgrade, Plesk users may use a single interface to seamlessly access all SoftLayer management tools. Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer of SoftLayer, presented the new feature at the third annual Parallels Summit in Washington, D.C.

SoftLayer also announced that it had added rackAID to its Preferred Partner Program. rackAID is now a preferred service provider of server management and Plesk expert solutions to SoftLayer. The agreement builds upon the two companies’ long-standing referral program. rackAID delivers managed services and support to businesses employing SoftLayer infrastructure for their global IT needs. The company is a specialist in administering and maintaining computing clusters utilizing the Plesk control panel.

Since 2000, rackAID has been a leader in outsourced IT infrastructure management. By delivering cost-effective support solutions, rackAID clients benefit from increased uptime, greater security and the peace of mind that their online operations will run smoothly and efficiently. rackAID provides IT management services for major web hosting control panels and Linux-based servers. It offers a rang
