BURSTNET: IPv6 IP Addressing Now Available!

TechMan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:01:26 +0000

SCRANTON, PA – July 27, 2010 – BurstNET Technologies, Inc.™ (http://www.burst.net), a leading provider of budget hosting services, today announced IPv6 addressing service available end-to-end on its entire product line: including Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), & Co-Location.

IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol version 6. It is the second version of the Internet Protocol to be used generally across the virtual world, with the first version being IPv4. IPv4 is still the protocol of choice for most of the Internet, however, the transition to IPv6 is steadily underway. IPv4 32-bit addresses, due to the growth of the Internet, have become a scarce and valuable commodity. Organizations have gone to great lengths to deal with the shortage and high cost of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 is the future of Internet addressing, because IPv4 is close to running out of available addresses space. With less than a year’s worth of Internet addresses left, as industry professionals predicted in July 2010, the call for the technology industry to move faster to adopt the next-generation Internet protocol is growing louder.

The differences between IPv6 and IPv4 are in five major areas: addressing and routing, security, network address translation, administrative workload, and support for mobile devices. One of the main differences in IPv6, is in the number of addresses available for networked devices. For example, each mobile phone or other kind of electronic device can have its own IPv6 address. The most visible change in IPv6 is that addresses balloon from 32-bits to 128-bits, example: 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf. IPv4 addresses have 32 bits in them and so allow a maximum of four billion addresses, while IPv6 addresses have 128 bits. With such a huge address space, ISPs will have sufficient IP addresses to allocate enough addresses to every customer, so that every IP device/website has a truly unique address—whether it’s behind a firewall or not.

BurstNET® is one of the first budget hosting providers to make IPv6 addressing service available end-to-end on its entire product line: including Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), & Co-Location. BurstNET® clientele can get a head start configuring their services for IPv6, or just utilize an inexpensive VPS package to just learn how to configure/utilize IPv6 for future needs.

SingleHop invests $7.0 Million in Datacenter Expansion, doubles network capacity & datacenter space.

TechMan — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 05:43:26 +0000

Today SingleHop announced a very exciting 5-year and $7.0-million-dollar deal to double the datacenter space of our second computing facility. Since we moved into this location in late May of 2009, we have experienced zero downtime, which is a testament to both the exceptional quality of the facilityâ€™s equipment as well as our world-class network engineering team.

While an expansion of this magnitude is exceptional all by itself, the fact that we did it less than 11 months after first opening this facility is truly noteworthy! It was only possible by the exceptional work of each SingleHop team member. You see, in spite of tremendous growth as a company, our employeesâ€™ constant dedication to excellence has ensured that our level of service, professionalism, and technological advancement has remained consistent, solid, and growing. SingleHop is here to stay, and we are looking forward to investing over $20 million more in the next three years to ensure that our products and services remain the best in the industry.

So, apart from the large numbers and corporate excitement, what does SingleHopâ€™s deal mean for you, our customer?

-First of all, it lets you know that SingleHop is financially stable, solid, and focused on maintaining and improving our already legendary facilities and network.

-Second, it assures you that our corporate philosophy on growth is NOT to simply squeeze in as many customers as possible and turn a quick profit by disregarding future investment in technology, speed and equipment. We have grown this fast because we have extremely high standards of quality and reliability, and we know that to continue growing we must continue sustaining and raising the bar of these standards.

-Lastly, it offers all SingleHop customers, regardless of which of our datacenters their dedicated servers are located in, a more powerful network to depend on: a network that will support more products and services which can foster their own success. In fact, in this new space we will be further developing our upcoming Cascade cloud hosting system, which will revolutionize the possibilities of what dedicated server hosting can do.

Happy Hosting!

Sincerely,

The SingleHop Team

SingleHop is on Fire this Spring

TechMan — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:07:25 +0000

Wow Spring is finally here in the windy city and the frigid wind has turned into a stellar cool breeze. The office doors are open and circulating cool air in and out of the entire office. But there are more things flying out the door aside from the wind, for example we had a stellar sales in the last month. Dedicated servers were flying out of Super Microâ€™s doors and into our Dupont Data Center. This in addition to our reseller program has kept all of us Account Executives on our toes keeping up with the demand and bringing on some spectacular new clients.

Some bonus and perks from all of this new business is that we have all new servers of your favorite Xeons fully stocked and ready to be customized to your order specifications. In addition we have recently partnered with R1 Soft!!! So if you want a really awesome secure management feature, now is the time to jump on board and add the free backup R1Soft service to your solution. Most companies usually charge around $25 and up for this stellar software, we are giving it out for free, you only pay for the cost of the backup space you use.

Why am I so excited about the R1Soft backup system? Well, the system is rock-solid reliable and uses a minimal amount of space by recording the changes that occur in the data, not the entire data-set over and over. So if you only use 3GB of backup, you would spend $4.50 per month for stress-free and trouble-free reliability without even having to pay for the industrial-grade R1Soft Backup software, it is FREE!

So yes, great and amazing changes are coming to Singlehop.com and we are looking to add more perks to our reseller program and expand our services into SingleHopâ€™s unique cloud computing platform, which we are calling Cascade, soon. For more information and details message your Account Executive, and let the hot summer sales begin.

VPS.NET Brings R1Soft Continuous Data ProtectionÂ® to the Cloud

TechMan — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:50:57 +0000

(The Hosting News ) UK2 Group today announced the availability of R1Soft Continuous Data ProtectionÂ® (CDP) across its extensive virtual private server cloud. VPS.NET (http://vps.net) now offers customers a more advanced level of data protection with user-ready CDP backups and individual file-restoration capabilities.

VPS.NET offers an â€œinstantly deployableâ€ image that can have a Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Server up and running in just 60 seconds giving customers complete administrative privileges over scheduling and managing their backups. The CDP software protects VPS.NET customersâ€™ environments by performing asynchronous replication of the target servers and archiving only the deltas or changed blocks to disk. Each replication creates a full backup that typically only takes minutes to create, even on larger data sets. This gives VPS.NET customers the ability to perform more granular restores of individual files or folders as opposed to restoring the entire VPS.

CDP can replicate other VPS.NET virtual machines and physical servers to recovery points stored on disk. It can replicate and archive nodes inside the VPS.NET cloud as well as any Internet accessible Windows or Linux server. CDP recovery points provide VPS.NET customers the ability to perform more granular restores of individual files or folders as opposed to restoring the entire VPS.

â€œOur team has been working closely with R1Soft for months on this project and we are pleased to say that we can now offer our customers scalable VPS hosting with a trusted high-performance data protection offering that can be deployed within minutes,â€ said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of UK2 Group.

With the new offering clients also have the flexibility to increase the storage space on their CDP Server in just minutes. R1Soft Agent licenses will be available to VPS.NET clients for $15 /month. The R1Soft CDP MySQL Add-on, a necessity for correct backups of all online MySQL databases, will be available for an additional fee. CDP for MySQL provides user-scheduled asynchronous replication of online MySQL databases and works with both MyISAM and InnoDB storage engines.

â€œAs one of the first large deployments of CDP on the cloud, the opportunity to work with VPS.NETâ€™s experienced virtualization team on this project has been very exciting for R1Soft. Adding CDP for Linux, Windows and MySQL, exemplifies VPS.NETâ€™s commitment to offering customers a wide range of self-managed services,â€ said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies, Inc.

About VPS.NET and UK2 Group
VPS.NET (http://vps.net) is a recent addition to the UK2 Group, and offers affordable virtual private server cloud hosting. It is a redundant cloud system, which utilizes a RAID 10 SAN backend and node based VPS architecture.

eUKhost.com Launches New line of Dedicated Servers

TechMan — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:50:56 +0000

(The Hosting News) – eUKhost.com, a provider of Shared, Reseller, Virtual Private Servers and dedicated servers, today introduced Enterprise Linux/Windows Dedicated Servers. The company states that starting at just Â£129 GBP per month, Enterprise Dedicated Servers will have a setup identical to its existing Shared Hosting Servers. These servers will have the same security settings applied, and they will also be actively monitored similar to the shared hosting servers they currently manage.

Besides the regular backups, each server will also be setup with RAID 1 in order to minimize potential problems and prevent subsequent data loss. It further states that all Enterprise Dedicated Servers are based on Linux or Windows Platform where each Linux Enterprise Dedicated Server will be pre-installed with cPanel/WHM control panel, while Windows Enterprise Dedicated Servers will be pre-installed with DotNetPanel control panel.

In order to guarantee the security and performance of these servers, the company has imposed certain security restrictions similar to those on their shared hosting servers. The main security restriction being the root/Administrator login not been given to the customers in order to ensure only the company technicians can perform software updates, security changes, maintenance and optimizations on the server which will enable the company to be in total control over the hosting environment. Having said that, the company is willing to provide root/Administrator details of these servers to the respective users upon request.

Ryan Watson, Business Development Manager at eUKhost, states “We found that many customers needed the power of a Dedicated Server, but only wanted the responsibility of a Shared Hosting account. We’ve made a special effort to simplify our dedicated server offerings and at the same time offer our customers the flexibility they need to run their online business without worrying about server management.”
