Founded in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada in 1999, Mega Hosters Inc. began as a web design company under the name Neuro Nitrate Web Design (neuronitrate.com). As its design clients required web hosting, the natural progression for the company was to begin migration toward the web hosting business. In January of 2002, the Mega Hosters brand was born. Mega Hosters Inc. is a mid sized corporation, operating its own equipment and services. Mega Hosters owns all of its equipment and manages space in a large data center.

The Mega Hosters network has been designed to support and enhance mission-critical e-business applications, with a 99.99% uptime Internet access guarantee. Its 100% Cisco powered internal network prioritizes high performance and redundancy. The fault tolerant software utilizes Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), designed to guarantee router or router port failure standby, within a maximum of 40 seconds. In addition, the self-healing network architecture eliminates single point failure. Backup transit is purchased from multiple providers in multiple locations, to ensure data arrival via the shortest possible routes. On an ongoing basis, Mega Hosters negotiates with the top fiber carriers for new routes, additional backup transit providers, and we are signing on new peering relationships.

Mega Hosters’ high performance and redundant backbone network connects all of its Internet Data Centres, using multiple high-speed OCn3 lines. With the ever-growing number of latency-sensitive applications such as Voice Over IP, Video Streaming and Conferencing, and a multitude of other client server applications, route diversity is a key component in ensuring Internet connectivity is fast and always available.

Paul D. Engels, Chief Marketing Officer of Hostopia remarked, ”Our model allows service providers to add a significant new revenue stream and then layer on additional services such as web hosting, email, ecommerce, and the many applications that are typically packaged with a website. The service will include an option for end users to choose from over 3000 Flash-enabled templates in over 100 business verticals. The combination of custom development supported by high-quality pre-built templates allows the end-user to quickly choose a compelling design direction for their online presence without sacrificing customization options.”

Website Experts has developed proprietary web server-based applications, backed by Hostopia’s extensive infrastructure, to provide full-service mass-production website development solutions for Hostopia’s customers (including service providers such as ISPs, telcos, cablecos, domain registrars, web hosting companies, and web development studios).

San Antonio, Texas - (The Hosting News) - October 27, 2006 - Managed web hosting services company, Rackspace Managed Hosting, has incorporated Managed Microsoft Exchange into its comprehensive email solution portfolio.

It is hoped that the offer will give companies of all sizes access to an on-demand and highly available deployment of one of the world’s most widely-deployed email and collaboration solutions, while eliminating the need for complex configuration and management of a dedicated Microsoft Exchange server. Rackspace’s fully-managed service approach is designed to transform the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 into a simple and scalable service in which customers only pay for the mailboxes they will use.

Leveraging an enterprise-class application infrastructure, Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace offers messaging and collaboration solutions, combining advanced email with shared calendars, contact lists, public folders and task management features to enhance individual and team productivity. Built on Rackspace’s highly-available network infrastructure and backed by the company’s award-winning Fanatical Support, Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace delivers one of the most aggressive service level agreements and uptime guarantees in the industry.

Lew Moorman, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Product Development explained, ”Like website infrastructure, messaging and collaboration is a critical corporate function that requires specific knowledge and management skills that are not core to most businesses. Rackspace simplifies the technology and delivers it reliably to our customers as a service, removing the administration burden from their scarce in-house IT resources and enables them to focus on core business functions.”

After completing a successful beta test of Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace with positive customer feedback, the company is now hosting thousands of mailboxes for hundreds of customers around the world who entrust the company to manage their mission-critical email functions.

Nishan Majarian, Chief Executive Officer of Agrian remarked, ”I was hesitant at first to outsource such a critical business function, but I knew we couldn’t afford not to do it. When Rackspace started to offer this solution, our decision became much easier. Rackspace enabled us to have access to a highly-available hosted Microsoft Exchange solution without the cost and complexity of doing it ourselves. Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace is fast, responsive and reliable and best of all is backed by their Fanatical Support. For email, I could not risk having it with anyone else. My team has found it easy to use and is much more productive now that we are not trying to manage a Microsoft Exchange server internally.”

Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace is backed by the company’s 24X7 Fanatical Support with 99.9 percent application and 100 percent network uptime, guaranteed. Managed Microsoft Exchange from Rackspace offers a provisioning system for email boxes and a wide range of connectivity options including Outlook Web Access, MAPI (including RPC over HTTPS), IMAP and POP.

New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - October 27, 2006 - Managed services, application hosting and IT infrastructure outsourcing company, VeriCenter, Inc., has added 40,000 square feet to its data center, within its facilities in four major markets across the United States.

VeriCenter operates a nationwide network of data center facilities in six major U.S. cities. With over 450,000 gross square feet of data center facilities, VeriCenter has the potential to build out over 250,000 square feet of conditioned revenue-producing raised floor space. The recently completed expansion projects — in VeriCenter’s Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Denver data center facilities, bring VeriCenter’s current level of production raised floor space to 145,000 square feet. At this time, VeriCenter fully utilizes only 20% of the potential capacity of its data center facilities.

Gray Hall, CEO and President of VeriCenter remarked, ”VeriCenter has grown revenues for 25 consecutive quarters at an annual growth rate of 135%, and we plan to continue increasing our market share in the managed services, application hosting and IT infrastructure outsourcing markets. The quality of our data center facilities is outstanding. Our additional capacity provides us with a competitive advantage and gives us the ability to scale quickly to meet market requirements on demand.”

Daniel Golding, Vice President and Senior Analyst for Tier 1 Research added, ”The demand for high quality data center space has never been stronger due to enterprise regulatory and business continuity requirements, not to mention the explosive growth in Internet traffic. We are seeing demand outpace supply by a factor of 4 in the near and mid term. Overall data center supply has been increasing very slowly — only 2.3% in the last year, while demand has increased 9.2%. VeriCenter is clearly meeting a strong market demand with their continued expansion drive.”

Business customers considering managed services, application hosting and IT infrastructure outsourcing typically look for a service provider that has the capacity to serve them now and in the future. Much of today’s demand for data center capacity includes the need to operate dense server and storage environments with heavy power and cooling requirements. Running dense computing environments in legacy data centers is difficult due to the power and cooling design of older facilities. As a result, data center outsourcing has become an increasingly popular trend for enterprise IT departments seeking to offload management of IT infrastructure and leverage the economies of scale provided by service providers such as VeriCenter.

Mr. Hall continued,
”We’re seeing more and more businesses seeking help in hosting web and business applications as they reach the limit of their internally available space and power.

Traverse City, Michigan - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - October 27, 2006 - Web hosting company, Traverse Web, has initiated a ”Pay it Forward” free web hosting program, along with a free domain name registration.

The free web hosting offer requires that at some point during the first 12 months, one paying customer must be referred, to help fund the program. Once the paying customer is on board, an additional year of domain name registration and free web hosting is credited to the account.

In service to charity, Traverse Web reserves 25% of the referred paying customer’s web hosting funds and donates them back to non-profit organizations in their local community. Non-profit organizations seeking to request funding from this program should visit the ”Pay it Forward” website to enroll their group.

Michael W. Henton, President of Traverse Web remarked, ”I have always felt it was my mission in life to help others and to achieve that goal with the maximum of reach, I have brought my mission to the web. With this program, start up enterprises, local groups, churches, and even classrooms will all have a ready to go website to launch their own mission online. By providing them with a platform on the web, groups will now become more visible in their community in far less time and now have permanent testaments to their mission available online. By funding their purpose with both free web space and dollars received from referred paying customers, we go a long way towards helping them accomplish their mission. The 25% of funds we donate directly to these groups is an ongoing residual payment for the lifetime of the referred paying customer and can become a very large source of revenue over time. We believe goodwill comes full circle and that by Paying it Forward today, we can look forward to an even more rewarding tomorrow.”

Included with the ”Pay it Forward” free web hosting plan is 700MB of available web space, 70GB of monthly data transfer, 70 email accounts, free online content management system to build web pages, mySQL database manager, mailing list manager, and toll free technical support.
