Web Host News – PHOENIX, AZ – IPOWER, an industry leader in web hosting, domain registration and other online services, is celebrating its 10th year in business this October. Launched as a small startup company in 2001 in Santa Monica, California, IPOWER moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2005. Today, IPOWER hosts more than a million websites worldwide, and still handles the majority of its customer support through its on-site staff in Phoenix.

“the IPOWER team is humbled,” says Jen Merry, IPOWER’s Marketing Manager for six of the ten years. “Not only have we been in business for ten years, but we are celebrating this milestone as one of the most recognizable brand names in a very competitive industry.”

Merry attributes the brand’s success to its loyal customers: “the longer you stay in business, and the larger you get as a company, the more important it becomes to remain focused on your customers and the unique individuals that they are. Keeping our customer support staff in house has played a key role in terms of helping us relate to our customers.”

In fact, to show its appreciation, IPOWER is featuring a handful of customers who have hosted their websites with the provider since it launched in 2001. This customer showcase is available online at ipower.com. In addition, IPOWER is also giving each of these customers one free year of hosting. “Pay for ten, and the 11th is on us,” jokes Merry. “we know there are a lot of hosting providers out there,” she continues, “and we’re always gratified when someone selects IPOWER to host his or her website. But what’s even more special is when our customers renew their subscriptions because they’re happy with our services. It means that we’ve done our jobs right.

“We’re very proud to have hosted some customers for all ten years that we’ve been in business,” continues Merry. “There have been a lot of changes, both within the hosting industry itself and within IPOWER. When we started, for example, we were called iPowerWeb, not settling on IPOWER until a few years later. we originally offered just 150 MB of storage space and 15 GB of data transfer; now, of course, our Pro Plan offers unlimited storage and bandwidth.”

To celebrate its tenth anniversary, IPOWER has put its full-featured Pro Plan on sale for $3.95/month. “We’re looking forward to another ten great years,” concludes Merry, “and with our Pro Plan on sale through the end of October, there’s never been a better time to join IPOWER and see first-hand why we’ve been so successful these past ten years.”

About IPOWERFounded in 2001, IPOWER has established itself as a leader in the web hosting industry, providing a comprehensive suite of online services for individuals and small businesses worldwide. IPOWER’s custom control panel, vDeck, offers access to more than 200 tools and services, providing customers the widest selection of web hosting applications available. for additional information, visit ipower.com.

Web Host News – Orem, UT – NetHosting, a leading provider of Cloud, Dedicated Hosting, VPS Server, and Cloud Virtual Hosting solutions, has recently released an updated version of its Virtual Hosting offering.

NetHosting’s newly released Cloud Virtual Hosting product integrates the security benefits of cPanel, R1Soft Remote Backup, and CloudLinux while offering unlimited bandwidth and disk storage at minimal cost.

“Cloud Virtual Hosting takes a familiar product and brings it up to par with the most robust, dependable service offerings out there,” stated Joe Seegmiller, Hosting Services Manager at NetHosting. “The only thing that doesn’t change is the cost.”

NetHosting CEO, Lane Livingston, explained the greatest difference between NetHosting’s previous Virtual Hosting product and its new offering. “The CloudLinux integration is probably the greatest enhancement to this product,” said mr. Livingston. “Top that off with upgrades like unlimited bandwidth and disk storage, as well as R1Soft remote backup, and Cloud Virtual Hosting is extremely hard to beat as an option for the majority of website owners.”

With CloudLinux integration, current Virtual Hosting customers can eliminate one of the greatest challenges faced in a shared hosting environment: overtaxed resources and distributed downtime. where one tenant’s traffic spike used to mean inevitable downtime for other tenants hosted on the same server, CloudLinux isolates tenants in Lightweight Virtualized Environments to restrict usage of resources to a predefined space.

“The danger of downtime caused by a single tenant’s over-usage of resources becomes nonexistent,” finished mr. Livingston, “and with integrated R1Soft backup, so does the worry of data loss.”

About NetHostingNetHosting has delivered custom hosting solutions for nearly fifteen years. Serving enterprises of every size, its products include a broad range of cloud hosting and storage options as well as dedicated, managed, and virtual hosting services. Housed within a state-of-the-art PCI certified data center, each service is packaged with a 100% uptime guarantee and the personal support of a Dedicated Expert.

Web Host News – Durham, NC – A Small Orange, a shared, reseller, VPS, and dedicated web hosting company with offices in Atlanta and Durham, NC, announced a strategic partnership with Spring Metrics, a leading provider of conversion analytics software.

A Small Orange recognized that their customers needed a better way to track online conversions, such as ecommerce sales, lead form submissions, and document downloads. After considerable research, they realized that most analytics providers were either too hard to use, too expensive, or both. “Spring Metrics is different- their conversion tracking solution is both easy to use, yet remarkably powerful,” noted Doug Hanna, CEO of A Small Orange.

While other analytics platforms require the services of a web developer, Spring Metrics is unique in that it is installed on a website through a straight forward, point-and-click interface. Websites owners only have to pay for Spring Metrics if their websites receive a significant volume of traffic. for smaller websites, the service is free.

“As a startup, we’re excited about A Small Orange’s ability to distribute our service to their extensive customer base,” explained Doug Kaufman, CEO of Spring Metrics.

A Small Orange’s customers can now use Spring Metrics to track their website’s ability to convert customers while they make strategic changes to their website’s content and marketing programs. Spring Metrics tracks conversions in real time, which provides webmasters with the instant feedback that they need in order to stay on top of their business.

Web Host News – FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – DataCore Software, the industry’s premier provider of storage virtualization software, today announced it has extended its storage hypervisor architecture with functionality that empowers enterprise customers to optimize the utilization and performance of their on-site assets and take full advantage of low cost, virtually unlimited ‘pay as you go’ storage in the cloud. the DataCore™ SANsymphony™ -V storage hypervisor now integrates seamlessly with the CloudArray® cloud storage gateway from TwinStrata, the leading innovator of cloud-based data storage, allowing a simple, transparent and cost-effective way to manage, offload and augment on-premise storage environments with space and power saving storage located in the cloud.

“Moving a storage infrastructure into a cloud paradigm can be a struggle for data center operators. the use of a heterogeneous storage virtualization solution provides a transition path that preserves investments and adds cloud operating semantics,” said Gene Ruth, research director and senior storage analyst for Gartner. “This particular solution combines storage virtualization, tiering of diverse devices and a bridge capability, allowing organizations to choose and offload less critical storage, backup and archive data onto cloud storage providers.”

The TwinStrata CloudArray software appliance seamlessly integrates with DataCore SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor, a portable, centrally-managed software suite capable of enhancing the combined value of multiple disk storage systems. This effectively extends the use of SANsymphony-V to the cloud, enabling organizations to virtualize and fully manage all types of storage. To cost-effectively meet growing enterprise storage demand, CloudArray supports virtually unlimited ‘pay as you go’ storage capacity. To help organizations quickly gain access to the cloud, DataCore is extending a free CloudArray Virtual Appliance offer to its storage hypervisor customers. This includes a 1 TB version of the CloudArray cloud storage gateway software for SANsymphony-V (a $2995 value easily upgradeable to much larger data volume capacities), accompanied by a base level of customer support and the use of a 30 day free cloud storage account.

DataCore’s SANsymphony -V storage hypervisor is unique in its ability to provide an architecture that manages, optimizes and spans all the different price-points and performance levels of electronic and mechanical storage, including electronic memory, SSDs, disk devices and cloud storage tiers. amongst its comprehensive features is advanced automated tiering of disks. This option automatically relocates disk blocks among pools of different storage devices, keeping demanding workloads operating at peak speeds. Less critical and infrequently accessed disk blocks naturally gravitate towards lower cost disks.

With the transparent integration of CloudArray, DataCore customers use what they believe are on-premise iSCSI disks whose contents are located remotely on a cloud storage provider of their choice. This allows less critical tiered storage, backups and archive data to be cost-effectively placed in cloud storage that can grow almost limitlessly and with pay-as-you-go tiers, while offering additional savings in space, power and cooling.

Additional features include:Seamless integration between Cloud Array and SANsymphony-V in minutes;Easily downloadable virtual software appliance;Data deduplication and compression;Data backup and recovery – on-site, off-site or in the cloud;Secure AES 256-bit advanced encryption standard for both at-rest and in-flight data protection;Disk caching to boost performance and enhance speed-matching to off-site cloud storage;Bandwidth optimization and scheduling controls;Snapshotting; and Choice of cloud storage providers, including such leaders as Amazon Web Services, AT&T Synaptic Storage, Windstream Hosted Solutions, PEER 1 Hosting, Nirvanix and OpenStack.“This greatly enhances our customers’ storage strategy by allowing easy access to lower cloud pricing for less critical data,” said Carlos Carreras, vice president of alliances & business development for DataCore. “With our intelligent auto-tiering and the simplicity of access provided by CloudArray, organizations can now transparently and dynamically ‘punt’ their lower-tier storage to the cloud for tremendous savings. Equally important, all tiers of storage remain very easy to control through the single-pane management capabilities of SANsymphony-V.”

“Our goal is to provide enterprises with an on-ramp to public or private storage clouds in a very straightforward, plug-and-play way,” noted Nicos Vekiarides, CEO of TwinStrata. “In just minutes, DataCore customers can connect to the cloud securely and transparently, allowing them to choose from leading storage providers to find the most economical off-site storage possible, all while continuing to use the management tools they trust.”

About DataCore SoftwareDataCore Software is the industry’s premier provider of storage virtualization software. Its SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor software solves the big problem stalling virtualization initiatives by eliminating the storage-related barriers that make virtualization too difficult and too expensive.

Web Host News – ANN ARBOR, Mich. – CloudLinux Inc. makers of CloudLinux OS, the only commercially-supported Linux OS (operating system) made specifically for shared hosting, will advise attendees at the upcoming annual Automation Bootcamp cPanel conference in Austin, Texas from October 10-12 how they can become more efficient by switching to CloudLinux. the director of operations at A Small Orange will lead a session on how the company converted to CloudLinux.

More than 400 attendees are expected from all over the world. This is the sixth annual technical and training conference, which brings together technical decision makers, executives and product managers.

“Once hosters see the benefits of CloudLinux, and the ease of conversion, they realize there is no reason to stay with their current OS,” said Igor Seletskiy, CloudLinux CEO. “With our three sessions, and hearing a current user’s perspective, they will be able to see for themselves.”

CloudLinux will be featured in the following sessions:

Converting Your Hosting Company to CloudLinuxSpeaker: Jen Lepp, from A Small OrangeTuesday, October 11, 11:30-12:15pm

A Small Orange is a provider of Internet solutions and services specializing in web hosting and site management. the company serves tens of thousands of customers around the world and is based in North Carolina. This session will discuss A Small Orange’s experience in converting its servers from CentOS to CloudLinux. It will cover the business decision behind the conversion, the conversion process and implementation and use of CloudLinux.

Benefits of using CloudLinux will be covered, including:-Bundling CloudLinux with cPanel-Upselling CloudLinux to new customers-Engaging existing customers with CloudLinux

CloudLinux: Advanced SettingsSpeaker: Igor Seletskiy, from CloudLinuxWednesday, October 12, 2:30 – 3:15pm

CloudLinux: MySQL Governor ImprovementSpeaker: Igor Seletskiy, from CloudLinuxWednesday, October 12, 5:30-6:15pm

This is a technical session on using CloudLinux to improve MySQL governance and will cover:- Deploying MySQL governor- how it works & what it does- Understanding Dbtop- Tracking down who was limited and why- Dealing with abusers- MySQL governor & remote databases

CloudLinux is being run on more than 5,000 production servers worldwide, a 100 percent increase in the past six months. More than 500 web hosting companies around the world run the CloudLinux OS on their servers today and that number is growing daily. Additionally, over 100 datacenter partners bundle CloudLinux with VPS (virtual private servers) and dedicated servers.

The way CloudLinux works is that it isolates each user account within its own Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) allowing system administrators to limit CPU, memory, and the concurrent connections available to each server tenant. LVE effectively prevents the, “bad neighbor effect,” wherein one tenant can slow or take down an entire server – the number one cause of shared-server stability issues, making it an ideal platform for shared hosting.

CloudLinux OS is fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS, as well as most major control panels including cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and others. Hosts can easily convert to CloudLinux, typically in less than 10 minutes.

About CloudLinuxBy providing expertise in the areas on hosting, kernel, and open source, CloudLinux serves the specific needs of those in the web hosting industry. Founded in 2009, CloudLinux is privately funded and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
