Chicago, Illinois - (The Hosting News) - November 8, 2007 - Web hosting provider, global domain name registrar, Hostway Corporation, has debuted its new Double the RAM and No Setup Fee promotion, for various dedicated servers, through the month of November.

Included in the promotion, is a selection of Truflex and Truflex-S servers. Hostway offers a full line of Dell dedicated servers and uses only high-quality Dell hardware in its data centers. Each dedicated server plan is backed by 24/7 telephone technical support and Hostway’s secure data center infrastructure.

Through the month of November, new dedicated server customers can take advantage of special deals on some of the company’s most popular dedicated servers. With free setup, customers can save more than $300.

Earlier this year, Hostway debuted a new content delivery network, incorporating significantly reduced web page load times.
According to the company, Edge Caching uses patent-pending technology to reduce web site abandonment by cutting the time it takes for web pages with large images or multimedia files to load. released Edge Caching, a CDN, or content delivery network that makes image and media-heavy web pages load in seconds. Study after study has shown that people simply click away from a web site that takes more than a few seconds to load. Edge Caching improves the user experience by speeding content to the visitor’s browser. It is especially good for online stores with hundreds of product images, multimedia-heavy web sites and social media sites with many user-generated profiles.

The Edge Caching content delivery network is a group of servers strategically deployed in data centers across four continents (North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The servers work together to determine the fastest path to speed the data to the user’s screen. For example, without Edge Caching, a web page displaying multiple product images might take 3 to 30 seconds to load, depending on the distance between the user and the server. That’s even if it’s sent over a high-speed Internet connection. The same page using Edge Caching will load in less than .5 seconds, regardless of the distance from server to user. That time differential may be all it takes to lose a prospective customer to the dreaded back button.
