Web Hosting News - It is the happiest season of all, and that means that the KnownHost Santa is delivering a complimentary upgrade for each of its Managed VPS Services and Hybrid Servers Services customers.  On Christmas Day, December 25, the elves will once again work their magic and roll-out increases in RAM and Bandwidth for all Managed VPS Hosting Hybrid plans.

“Our customers have told us they look forward to the upgrades each year, so we have made it an annual tradition,” said Justin Sauers, CEO of KnownHost LLC.  “There is no change in price for these upgrades and we’re committed to showing our customers that we appreciate their business.”

This will be the firm’s fourth year providing these network enhancements around the holidays, supporting its goal of being the leading value-added VPS solution that provides the best service and reliability in the marketplace.

The company announced earlier this month that it expanded its VPS offerings to include a New Jersey-based datacenter.  That datacenter joins its already-established locations in Texas and California, and is the company’s third major datacenter brought online in five years.

KnownHost also released news earlier this year that it now monitors 201 physical servers, placing it as the number-one webhost among the HyperSpin rankings for reliability and uptime.  KnownHost achieves a 99.970% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.954% benchmark that HyperSpin considers to be a reliable webhost.

The technology provider is a recipient of a 2011 Editors’ Choice Award from Web Hosting Directory and Review site, FindMyHost.com, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

Web Hosting News – McLean, VA – The Save Hosting Coalition, a consortium of businesses in the web hosting and Internet infrastructure industries, today announced it has delivered a letter from 300 leading industry executives expressing their opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The Coalition delivered the letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) and House Judiciary Committee ranking member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI).

Christian Dawson, one of the founders of the Save Hosting Coalition and Chief Operating Officer of web hosting provider ServInt (www.servint.net), said the overriding goal of the letter was to foster communication between the Internet infrastructure industry and legislators responsible for steering the bill through committee.

“As SOPA enters another day of Congressional markup, legislators need to understand that – no matter how badly flawed the bill is right now – there still is time to craft legislation that works,” Dawson said. “We strongly urge the Committee to engage with representatives from the Internet industry, so that together we can design a bill that protects intellectual property rights, while preserving America’s leadership position in the Internet economy. The industry is ready, willing and able to help. All Rep. Smith has to do is ask.”

Web Hosting News – SEATTLE – Amazon Web Services LLC (AWS), an Amazon.com company, today announced the launch of its new South America (Sao Paulo) Region, the eighth geographic Region worldwide in which the company has deployed its global cloud computing platform. South American-based businesses and global companies with customers in South America can now leverage the AWS suite of infrastructure web services to build their businesses and run their applications in the cloud.

Before AWS launched in early 2006, businesses would take on the massive capital investment of building their own infrastructure or contracting with a vendor for a fixed amount of datacenter capacity that they might or might not use. This choice meant either paying for wasted capacity or having to worry that the amount of capacity they forecasted was insufficient to keep pace with their growth. Many businesses spent time and money managing their own datacenter or a co-location facility, which meant time not spent on growing their actual business or differentiating their offering for customers. Over the past five years, AWS has changed the way that businesses think about technology infrastructure–incur no up-front expenses or long-term commitments, turn capital expense into variable operating expense, scale seamlessly by adding or shedding resources as quickly as you wish, free up scarce engineering resources from the undifferentiated heavy lifting of running your own infrastructure–all without sacrificing operational performance, reliability, or security.
