Offering businesses virtual private servers as a comparable option to dedicated hosting looks to drive down cost and reduce power consumption of hosting datacenters

HOUSTON, TX. July 16, 2008 – WowVPS! web hosting, providers of virtual private server (VPS) hosting services and a subsidiary of Landis Holdings Inc., today announced a new promotion of 25% off all “Xen” hosting plans starting from only $10.45 per month. Besides reducing ongoing operating costs for companies during tough economic times, shifting usage from dedicated servers to virtual private servers can reduce overall required power consumption.

“Socially responsible web hosting involves making choices that meet a company’s hosting needs while minimizing the impact on the environment,” says Greg Landis, president of WowVPS!. “While the focus has been mainly on new technologies to reduce power consumption, sometimes the simplest answer is selecting the right hosting plan. Our VPS hosting plans offers businesses an attractive option of improved flexibility of dedicated hosting at prices much lower than full dedicated packages.”

WowVPS! utilizes the latest version of VSControl virtualization software from Devpond, another subsidiary of Landis Holdings. VSControl software was developed in-house and eliminates the software cost which often leads to increased VPS hosting prices. WowVPS! offers plans with higher specs than any other VPS provider while maintaining 100% uptime.

WowVPS! starts with the “Xen Awakening” entry level plan, regularly priced at $13.95 per month but on special for only $10.45 per month, and includes:

• 12 GB disk space
• 200 GB bandwidth
• 192 MB or RAM
• Unlimited domains
• Free 3 VPS IP addresses

All WowVPS! “Xen” hosting plans include:

• Full VPS root access
• RAID 10 disk storage
• Guaranteed RAM
• Premium bandwidth
• Multi-core, multi-processor CPUs
• VSControl software
• No oversold resources
• Choice of Linux OS
• No contract obligation; cancel any time
• Online server and service restarts

The new WowVPS! web site includes a community forum, a blog, user-friendly control panel and the NixCore client management software.

HOUSTON, TX. April 4, 2008 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions for over a decade, today announced the “Endless Disk Space” promotion that gives clients continuous free upgrades as needed when they reach 80% capacity. Shared hosting clients begin with 50 GB of disk space and semi-dedicated hosting clients start with 100 GB. As soon as 80% capacity is reached, customers can instantly add more with one click from the control panel. When their new capacity approaches 80%, once again they can increase their disk space.

In contrast to misleading industry promotions with unlimited or grossly inflated resources with their hosting packages and bury the conditions for account termination in small-print terms of service, the JaguarPC promotion is straightforward and meant to bring transparency to the battle of disk space.

“The industry has gotten a bit crazy recently with ridiculous numbers being thrown around and hosts knowing full well they wouldn’t be able to handle the load if all their customers took them up on the offer,” says Greg Landis, president of JaguarPC. “We stepped back and asked ourselves what is the right thing to do for our customers? Why don’t we give them peace of mind without making these over the top promises? In essence, Endless Disk Space simply means you will have capacity that always grows with your needs.”

JaguarPC’s new web site includes a community forum, updated web hosting and company blog, user-friendly control panel and the nixcore client management software.

In addition, JaguarPC has made a number of changes:

• Semi-dedicated accounts now have a failover hosting option to provide greater redundancy and peace of mind
• New dedicated server plans have been rolled out
• All reseller plans have had their disk space and bandwidth doubled while keeping the same prices, retroactive for all existing clients

HOUSTON, TX. May 9, 2007 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions, announced today that they have selected R1Soft’s Continuous Data Protection (CDP) as the backup software for all their Windows and Linux servers. In conjuction with newly deployed network attached storage devices, JaguarPC now provides all its customers multiple backups to ensure unparalleled protection of their data.

The deal includes purchasing R1Soft’s enterprise data center license that will cover JaguarPC’s entire network. Every NAS device within the network is currently being installed with CDP, which is also compliant with all major acts such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley. JaguarPC is also deploying many new NAS appliances to increase backup capacities as the company continues to experience rapid growth.

R1Soft’s CDP products diverge significantly from traditional backup technologies, which essentially copy files at intervals from hard disks to another medium, such as a tape drive. These methods only provide data protection on a daily or weekly basis, resulting in large losses of data in the event of a disaster. R1Soft’s CDP Server, however, monitors changes to the disk as they happen, thereby reducing backup windows to seconds or minutes. It also affords even busy servers a significantly higher level of reliability in the event of a disaster, with higher levels of compression while using far less cpu resources.

“With the full deployment of R1Soft’s CDP Data Center in conjuction with the new NAS installs, JaguarPC will be offering all its customers backup that is second to none in the industry,” says Greg Landis, president of JaguarPC. “Not only can every machine in our network be fully backed up regardless of usage, we have also forecasted and allocated significant free space for expansion.”

“We are thrilled to assist JaguarPC and their teams in taking the way they currently safeguard their clients’ data to the next level,” said David Wartell, founder and chief executive officer of R1Soft. “JaguarPC truly understands that traditional methods of backups are unacceptable, and that being able to protect data multiple times per hour is the upcoming standardization of the hosting industry.”

I mentioned in this post that Google had acquired DoubleClick. It seems that the purchase is not going smoothly. At least not from this article.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—Google’s major Internet and media rivals hope to encourage antitrust regulators to close scrutinize Google Inc.’s planned purchase of Internet ad-services firm DoubleClick Inc., according to a media report Sunday.

At issue, said executives at the companies critical of the deal, is that Google already controls the lion’s share of the market for Internet-search advertising and related contextual ads; according to the report.

It appears that companies like MS (who wanted to buy DoubleClick) are not going to take this acquisition lightly.

Other Blogs discussing this:

• 
  Search Engine Round Table


• Google Blogoscoped

In this press release Google announced they had purchased DoubleClick for a measly $3.1 billion..
