Is Google in Danger of Violating Anti-Trust Laws?

Posted on April 16th, 2007 by Connie

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.

JaguarPC Web Host Completes Acquisition of DEHE to Provide Windows Services and VPS Offerings

Posted on April 5th, 2007 by Tracie

Seamless merger brings new plans, unified customer support to both customer bases

HOUSTON, TX – April 5, 2007 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of VPS and server provider Definition of Hosting Experts, also known as DEHE. The DEHE merger gives JaguarPC the ability to offer new Windows hosting services, as well as Windows virtual private server (VPS), high end VPS and a VPS reseller program.

The merger was completed seamlessly with no action required on the part of DEHE customers.

No servers were moved, removed or altered, and no DEHE customers had to change any billing or personal information as a result of the merger.

A decision to proceed with the merger was made after extensive discussions with DEHE customers ended in unanimous support for the acquisition.

“The combination of the JaguarPC and DEHE brand allow us merge two strong companies and enhance our value proposition of end-to-end hosting for our client base,” says Greg Landis, chief executive officer of JaguarPC. “All previous DEHE clients can look forward to full access to our phone lines, live chat, robust combined community forums, and a much larger range of addons and plans.

Posted on March 1st, 2007 by Jag

For Immediate Release

JaguarPC Web Host Announces Free Automatic Plan Upgrades for Existing Clients

All existing shared hosting accounts now automatically upgraded to new larger shared hosting plans with no increase in prices


HOUSTON, TX – February 12, 2007 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of web hosting services, today announced an immediate upgrade for all existing shared hosting account customers to the new larger shared hosting plan. There will be no extra charge incurred for the free upgrade. In addition, JaguarPC will “grandfather” the prices, locking in special previous pricing by providing the newer plan at the original rate from sign-up.

These automatic and free upgrades were done to express gratitude towards JaguarPC’s client base, with changes already reflected in their control panel. The new upgraded plans include 17GB of disk storage space, 210 GB of data transfer per month, unlimited email and FTP accounts, 24/7 technical support, web statistics and data, just to mention a few. Full features of the plan can be found here Hosting Plans.

It’s common in the web hosting industry to promote plans to attract new customers, but we really wanted to do something that was a way of saying thank you to our existing clientele,” says Greg Landis, chief executive officer of JaguarPC. “We couldn’t think of a better way to do this than to give more for less. Our philosophy has been to always treat our customers with the utmost respect regardless of their size, and we hope to maintain our strong customer loyalty with this move.”

I was pleasently surprised to see that my account was automatically upgraded,” says Jason Pitoniak of Interbrite Communications. “When I started with JaguarPC I signed up for a special deal of 200Mb of space. The awesome service and the fact that I’m getting 17Gb of storage for the same price as my old 200Mb plan is what keeps me here.”

JaguarPC Web Host Completes Server Hardware Upgrades and Replaces Backup Management Systems

Posted on February 28th, 2007 by Tracie

New server system replacements with dual core processors and enhanced enterprise backup management to keep pace with explosive growth

HOUSTON, TX – February 28, 2007 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions, has completed the second phase to replace all its server hardware. The process which began last year replaced all servers that had single or dual processors with one core to the new AMD dual core CPU servers. In addition, the web host has completed testing and begun implementing a new enterprise backup management system that will increase backup speed and performance for its clients.

The new dual core servers also have significant upgrades to the amount of RAM as well as newer RAID disk arrays across all the systems which have greatly improved redundancy and access speeds. All accounts with JaguarPC will be on the same hardware platform, making plan upgrade migrations even easier. Initial results of the completed server upgrades show an improvement in services loading time on the network and near 100% uptime. Patch management is also easier, leading to quicker and more frequent updates.

JaguarPC is also adding a new enterprise backup management system after initial testing showed greatly improved reliability and performance. The backup system uses a new methodology that reduces the loads of the servers being backed up which removes the dreaded nightly slowdown of servers during the backup process, and also helps eliminate incomplete backups. Backups will also be faster, more accurate, less burdensome to the servers and more reliable. The third phase of the upgrade process of both hardware and backup systems will completed in the next 60 days.

“In a market where every provider is moving towards the cheapest alternatives possible, this is part of our plan to rather focus on delivering quality web services,” says Greg Landis, chief executive officer of JaguarPC. “With other competitive hosting companies, companies may outgrow the available services and need to migrate to a completely different web host. Conversely, a company can start small with our basic plan and seamlessly upgrade with us through the years of growth.”

“We posted a record year in 2006 and are on track to beat that by a wide margin for 2007,” continued Landis. “JaguarPC will continue to focus on delivering quality and value in this price-competitive market.”
