Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania - (The Hosting News) - January 31, 2007 - Webhosting company, and subsidiary of United Internet, 1 and 1 Internet, has unveiled the operation of its new Lenexa, Kansas Data Center, along with a new line of dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS), housed in the central U.S., for a low latency connection.

In addition, the center has fiber-optic connectivity to several ISPs, high redundant capacity and is capable of routing thousands of Terabytes per month without any data jams. These, and other, features enable 1 and 1 to guarantee its network a more than 99.99 percent uptime. In addition, security features such as redundant steel-reinforced walls, backup diesel generators; custom FE-25 protection and much more ensure that the servers will continue to operate regardless of external conditions. The 1 and 1 data center’s connectivity and security capacities make it possible for the company to unveil its new dedicated and VPS line and grow past its current 38,000 global servers.

1 and 1’s dedicated servers include dual and quad core servers, all fully-equipped with the latest hardware from AMD. Customers can select a root, managed or Windows server to determine the dedicated server solution that best suits their needs. Other features include up to 8 GB RAM and a Plesk 100 license.

The VPS are an ideal server solution for those who have outgrown a shared hosting plan but aren’t quite ready for a dedicated server. 1 and 1 VPS are partitioned servers that enable each partition to function as a virtual server dedicated to a single customer. These servers are partitioned in such a way that each server operates almost independently of the other accounts that share the server.

Andreas Gauger, Chairman of 1 and 1 Internet remarked, ”Since 1 and 1 sold out servers in October 2006, this new line of servers is a welcome and much requested addition. While the dedicated servers continue to be ideal for the professional that wants exclusive control and maximum power, the VPS solutions will appeal to those who seek greater control than with a regular hosting plan and need the flexibility of a root server to install their own security and software. In this regard, our new range of VPS is filling the gap between the full power of a dedicated server and the 1 and 1 shared hosting plans.”

There are three choices for the 1 and 1 VPS: VPS Level I is $29 per month, includes 10 GB hard disc space, one domain and 500 GB monthly transfer volume; VPS Level II is $39 per month and includes 20 GB, hard disc space, a domain, SSL certificate and 1,000GB of monthly transfer volume and: VPS Level III at $59 per month includes 50 GB hard disc space, SSL certificate, one domain and 2,000 GB monthly transfer volume. Dedicated server packages starting from $99 per month are considerably less in price than the nearest competitor. All 1 and 1 shared hosting and VPS packages come with a 90-day money back guarantee.

1 and 1 was established in 1992 and hosts more than 7 million domain names, while 38,000 servers run on the company’s four state-of-the-art data centers, featuring Juniper and Cisco routers. 1 and 1’s global service community includes over 6 million customer contracts. The company’s U.S. headquarters is located in Chesterbrook, PA. Internet’s global community includes 6,000 employees and a market cap of $4 billion. 1 and 1 features an array of services, from instant domain packages to all-inclusive shared hosting plans, dedicated servers and ready-to-run eShops. 1 and 1 is a Microsoft Joint Development Partner, and works with other paramount companies such as Google, Plesk, Symantec, and HP/Compaq.

Surrey, British Columbia - (The Hosting News) - January 31, 2007 - Canadian web hosting provider, MonsterHosting.ca, due to trademark concerns over its use of its current name, will re-brand its products and services under the BlueFur.com moniker.

MonsterHosting.ca is unable to disclose any specific information regarding the allegations, including the name of the complainant. The company, which has been operating under the current brand since its founding in 2003, will complete the shift to BlueFur.com within the week. All products and services will remain unchanged, and no disruption in service is expected during the transition.

Lisa Jones, President of MonsterHosting.ca remarked, “Making this decision was not easy, certainly after our success in the past several years under the current name. However, we felt that rather than exhausting hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees defending our use of the name and possibly affecting our ability to continue to deliver affordable hosting and world class customer service, it was the best option to settle this matter out of court. We are looking forward to resuming our concentrated marketing and branding efforts now that we have placed this trademark dispute behind us.”

BlueFur.com was chosen as the new brand so the company can continue to use its signature mascot and distinctive blue-based color scheme.

Ms. Jones continued, “Selecting a brand that allows us to continue using our lovable mascot was a tricky venture. We strongly feel that BlueFur.com is a brandable name that is unique and easy to remember. It will also save time for both our employees and customers, as BlueFur.com requires six fewer keystrokes every time our site is accessed. We hope the name change alone results in a significant boost to worker productivity on a global level.”

MonsterHosting.ca, a Surrey, British Columbia based web solutions provider serving well over 5,000 clients, has been in the hosting market since January 2003. The company offers a wide variety of web development services, including domain name registration, email hosting, Web hosting, merchant accounts, reseller backup software, VoIP services, and targeted Web traffic.

Vancouver, Washington - (The Hosting News) - January 29, 2007 - Broadband network company, New Edge Networks, was selected by retailer of custom printed announcements, greeting cards, gift wrap and stationery firm, PAPYRUS, to improve operating efficiency and optimize business processes.

By developing web-based applications to automate previously manual tasks, the iInstallation of the high-performance network was a major strategic initiative for PAPYRUS in 2006, based in Fairfield, California. As a result, PAPYRUS turned up its private network for most of its stores just before the start of the last holiday shopping season. Sales were brisk last holiday season for PAPYRUS, a nationwide retailer of high-end custom printed announcements, greeting cards, gift wrap, stationery, and unique gift products.

Bob Jellison, Vice President of Information Services for PAPYRUS commented, ”We were able to immediately speed up card transaction times from about 30 seconds, using dial-up connections, to less than five seconds with our new network. Short check out lines invite busy shoppers and enable our sales and customer service associates to help our customers celebrate life and all of its moments with meaningful personal expressions. Faster card payment transactions are just the beginning of what we will be able to do with a private network. We view New Edge Networks as a strategic partner in the growth and development of PAPYRUS.”

PAPYRUS turned to New Edge Networks for designing, building, and managing a network that links more than 165 stores from California to New York. PAPYRUS initially is using the network for credit card payments, rewards program, real-time sales polling, and email. It plans to expand its use to include Internet telephony, or VoIP, and other store systems or applications starting later this year. For payment processing, PAPYRUS is routing credit card transaction traffic from individual stores directly to its payment processor, First Data Corp., over a private network rather than funneling traffic through its headquarters in Fairfield, Calif., or sending the transactions through the public Internet.

Use of an always on, redundant direct connection eliminates the added monthly communications cost for a retailer to provide a dedicated private circuit to the payment processor. It also eliminates a single point of failure for all stores if their connection goes out of service. New Edge Networks and each payment processor with whom it has direct connections jointly manage direct connections to ensure round-the-clock access and reliability.

Greg Griffiths, Vice President of Marketing for New Edge Networks adde, “The DSL-based private network provides PAPYRUS the flexibility and management tools it needs to grow and to differentiate itself in a competitive marketplace. New Edge Networks will continually develop new products and expand network services that will help PAPYRUS expand and exceed its business goals.”

The word PAPYRUS (pah:pie:rus) comes from the earliest form of paper crafted from the PAPYRUS plant. PAPYRUS was founded in the family kitchen of Marcel and Margrit Schurman in 1950. Inspired by a love of fine art, they had a vision for products of uncompromising quality which provided the starting point from which genuine personal connections are made, for over 56 years, and over 165 stores.

New Edge Networks, based in Vancouver, Wash., is a wholly owned subsidiary of EarthLink Inc. (NASDQ: ELNK). New Edge Networks builds and manages private networks for businesses and communications providers. Through its nationwide backbone network with about 900 switches and Internet routers, New Edge Networks uses any blend of access technologies (xDSL, frame relay, ATM, cable, wireless, and satellite) for providing broadband connectivity at any business address in the United States. Network options include any combination of access, network management functions, and on-site installation services.

Houston, Texass - (Website Hosting Directory) - January 29, 2007 - Software developer specializing in disk-based backup solutions for web hosts and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Righteous Software, has announced that it will soon begin marketing its backup technology, under the Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Server brand.

Its products are currently sold under the Righteous Software header. The branding shift will be unveiled in phases throughout the coming months. In late January, the company plans to roll out a new version of its Web site bearing the CDP name, and in February it plans to release its much anticipated Continuous Data Protection support for Windows servers.

David Wartell, Founder and CEO of Righteous Software explained, “As a relatively new technology, Continuous Data Protection represents a market that is emerging and rapidly making its way to the Information Technology mainstream,” said “It is important that Righteous Software positions itself to remain a highly competitive and leading solutions provider in the coming months and years.”

Currently, both Microsoft DPM and Symantec’s Backup Exec provide similar CDP solutions for the Windows market, which Righteous Software hopes to counter with its February release. In the Linux market, however, Righteous Software is the only company offering genuine CDP solutions.

Righteous Software’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 often only provide data protection on a daily or weekly basis, resulting in large losses of data in the event of a disaster. Righteous Software’s CDP Server, however, monitors changes to the disk as they happen, thereby reducing backup periods to seconds or minutes. It also affords even busy servers a significantly higher level of reliability in the event of a disaster, without the consumption of a large amount of system resources.

Mr. Wartell continued, ”The difference between our backup solutions and traditional methods is quite significant. With Righteous CDP Server, our clients can create in excess of one-hundred recovery points per day—and in a disaster situation, this can result in only minutes of lost data, as opposed to days or even weeks. For many corporations, this literally represents savings in the millions of dollars.”

Righteous Software currently produces Continuous Data Protection solutions designed for data centers, Web hosting providers, and other firms using Linux servers. Founded in 2003, Righteous Software is a provider of disk-based backup solutions, with low cost, scalable and integrated products, featuring products designed to integrate with Linux-based systems.
