What is your name and position with myhosting.com?
Chris Arnold, Product Manager at myhosting.com.

Please tell us the year established and brief history of myhosting.com?
Founded in January 1997 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, myhosting.com is continually committed to providing leading hosting services by utilizing the best available technology and services from companies such as: Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Intel Corporation, MCI Canada/Verizon Business, VSNL International, Tucows Inc. and Network Solutions.

What do you offer your customers that are unique to your company?
Powerful custom VPS tools for building a VPS to exact requirements. Our tools provide unmatched flexibility in our market. Where most providers will force you to upgrade numerous features in steps (generally at a higher rate), our service allows you to modify individual components as need be. Our customers can individually upgrade RAM, CPU, disk space, backups to their exact needs!

What is the most challenging aspect to offering VPS Web Hosting?
One of the most challenging aspects is that customers have full control over their own container. This makes VPS difficult to support as customers really have unlimited server options available to them. myhosting.com”s dedicated VPS team is well versed in handling all requests should any arise.

What is it that makes myhosting.com a competitive company in the VPS Hosting market?
While our prices are very competitive, you won’t find a Windows VPS host around that matches us in specifications and support for the latest software out of the box (including WebMatrix and Plesk 10). Our one-stop-shop vision and commitment to providing the latest features and services really keeps us ahead of the curve.

What new features have myhosting.com added for its customers in the past year?
We’ve added out-of-the-box support for Microsoft WebMatrix and Plesk 10 in terms of software. In terms of hardware, we’ve also upgraded our Windows VPS environment to make use of SAN storage. What this means for our customers is that their VPS isn””t subject to hard disk access bottlenecks commonly found in hosted VPS environments!

What would you say is myhosting.com #1 asset to its customer base?
Our experience in the business has taught us that we have to stay on our toes. As such, you’ll see us constantly improving, updating and offering the latest features our clients expect all while retaining the flexibility to offer a wide variety of options to choose from for every hosting need.

Where do you see myhosting.com and the web hosting industry in three years?
Further into the Cloud is probably the answer you’ll get from any company that’s worth their salt. I think you’ll be seeing us venturing into Private Clouds and adding additional value to existing products through Cloud features and offerings. High availability, redundancy, and software at the core is where this business is headed.

How many customers do you currently have?
With over 50,000 web hosting customers in over 170 countries, myhosting.com continues to demonstrate an extraordinary level of value and choice to their customers.

Where are they located?
Our web servers and VPS are housed within Equinix and Earthlink Enterprise Data Centers located in Toronto, Canada and Rochester, NY, USA respectively.

What kind of backup power do you have?
myhosting.com Data centers are built with 100% power availability as a key objective. Diesel powered generators coupled with backup UPS (Uninterruptible Power System) allows myhosting.com to provide highly reliable and available hosting services.

Do you have multiple backbone connections?
By combining bundles of fiber optics with the redundant network engineering on multiple tier 1 service providers, our networks are able to create alternate routes for data transmission. This maximizes the throughput speed and capacity of each strand of fiber-optic cable. The result is a fast and reliable network connection on which our customers can rely.

What connections do you have?
Web servers are directly connected to world-class fibre optic networks which ensure that your web site experiences superior performance in a fully-redundant and secure environment.

Web Host News – Orem, UT - NetHosting, a global provider of Cloud, Dedicated, VPS Server, and Virtual hosting products, today announced that it has received SAS 70 Type II certification through independent service auditor, The Cadence Group, after an extended audit of its internal processes.

“We want our customers to be assured of our consistent and dedicated pursuit of security in our data centers,” stated NetHosting CEO, Lane Livingston. “So we’ve taken our Type I certification to the next level by becoming SAS 70 Type II certified.”

SAS 70 certification became a market standard after the Sarbanes Oxley act of 2002. While the audit required for Type I certification takes a snapshot of a company’s adherence to its policies at a given point in time, Type II certification is largely recognized as the more valuable analysis of a company’s security-oriented protocols because the audit takes an in-depth look at its internal operations over a much longer time span.

A report issued by The Cadence Group details the controls NetHosting has implemented to safeguard user data throughout the processing of any given transaction and certifies that NetHosting’s facilities are fully compliant with SAS 70 Type II protocols. This report is available upon request.

“With our Type II certification, we’ve done the footwork for those customers that also must obtain SAS 70 certification,” said Mr. Livingston. “As a service provider, having the appropriate certifications is critical for our customers to qualify for their own certifications. Maintaining SAS 70 and PCI compliance takes a huge burden off of our customers and adds tremendous value to our hosting services.

“In fact, an enhancement to the SAS 70 model has recently entered the market, called SSAE 16, and NetHosting is already in the works to receive certification in the form of a SOC 1 report. We also have plans for SOC levels 2 and 3, which have more stringent criteria for security policies and procedures.”

In addition to SAS 70 Type II certification, NetHosting received PCI compliance in April of 2009, establishing itself as the first PCI compliant data center in Utah and one of the first in the world to be added to the credit card industry’s list of approved service providers.

About NetHosting
NetHosting has delivered custom hosting solutions for nearly fifteen years. Serving enterprises of every size, its products include a broad range of cloud hosting and storage options as well as dedicated, managed, and virtual hosting services. Housed within a state-of-the-art PCI certified data center, each service is packaged with a 100% uptime guarantee and the personal support of a Dedicated Expert™.

Web Host News – Tampa FL - Hivelocity Hosting  announced this week they are introducing a new line of i5 Sandy Bridge dedicated servers.   The Intel i5 processor will be replacing the Core2Quad, which currently serves as the introductory line of servers Hivelocity offers.  As Core2Quads slowly fade away with end-of-life approaching, the quad-core i5’s will slide right into that lower pricing segment.

“We have worked with Supermicro to put together a very solid system at a really good price.  The end result is our customers get new Sandy Bridge servers that offer significantly more power than the older Core2Quads for about the same price they have paid for lesser systems in the past,” comments Hivelocity GM Steve Eschweiler.  “Our customers have given our E3-1230 Xeon Sandy Bridge server rave reviews  for the last few months and we anticipate the introduction of another Sandy Bridge system in the lower price spectrum to be just as popular, if not more.  Our customers love a powerful server and they love saving money even more, so the i5 should be a home run for everyone.”

Intel’s latest generation of servers offer increased power, less energy consumption and  cater to the higher needs virtualization technology requires.   Each chip includes turbo-boost 2.0 technology which allows the chip to provide extra needed power exactly when and where it is needed.   Similar to how new car’s engines are able to turn cylinders off and on to save fuel and to provide sufficient power when needed, Sandy Bridge processors are able to surge and subdue power to use only the power required to achieve the task efficiently.  As virtualization and cloud technology become more prevalent, Intel’s chips continue to address the needs to support this sector.

Hivelocity specializes in dedicated server hosting and offers systems starting at $59 per month.  The EOL Core2Quad systems start at $99 with the i5 currently priced at $139 per month.  The i5 Sandy Bridges include twice the memory as the Core2Quads however.  Hivelocity servers are provided by Dell and Supermicro exclusively.   Hivelocity has recently opened a brand new data center in Tampa Florida.

About Hivelocity.Net
Since 2001, Hivelocity delivers specialized dedicated web hosting and colocation services, providing services to thousands of customers from all over the world. To learn more about Hivelocity, please visit: www.hivelocity.net.

Web Host News – SINGAPORE - Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data centre solutions, announced today that it has entered the Australian data centre market with the acquisition of a 3.48 hectare development site in Sydney, Australia for a purchase price of approximately $10.7 million.  This represents the first acquisition in Australia for Digital Realty Trust.

The site, located in Erskine Park, an industrial precinct located in the Western Sydney Employment Hub, is capable of supporting approximately 18,600 square meters of data centre development with over 11.5MW of IT capacity.  The Company has secured permitting for the development and plans to commence construction on the first phase of 9,300 square meters in the fall of 2011, which will consist of building out the first of two data centre facilities.  The building is designed to support four 1440 kW Turn-Key Datacentre PODs.

“The acquisition of this site adds a very important market to our portfolio and is key to our expansion in the Asia Pacific region,” said Michael F.

Each Digital Realty Trust Turn-Key Datacentre facility is physically secure and features a state-of-the-art power and cooling architecture that has been optimized for green operation. Every Turn-Key Datacentre is built using the Company’s proprietary POD Architecture® and uses metered power to ensure that clients pay only for the power that they use.

Web Host News – LONDON, UK - OnApp has launched version 2.2 of its cloud management software for hosting providers. The new version introduces features that, until now, have only been available from hugely more complex and expensive cloud service providers, and out of reach of a typical mass-market host and its customers.

Version 2.2 of OnApp introduces autoscaling and load balancing for virtual machines hosted in the cloud, as well as support for the Free BSD operating system. The new version is available now to hosting providers, and can be set up in as little as 24 hours. Existing OnApp customers can request a free upgrade through their OnApp support team.

“This is a major release of OnApp cloud management software, and big news for the hosting market,” said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of OnApp. “Our mission is to make the cloud as simple and affordable as possible for all hosting providers, without compromising on high-end functionality. By introducing autoscaling and load balancing we’re bringing cutting-edge cloud features to the mass market for the first time, and enabling even a small host to compete with the likes of AWS – but in a customer-friendly way, and at a fraction of the cost.”

In April 2011 that there were 500 global public clouds, according to an estimate from hosting industry analysts, The 451 Group. Today OnApp software powers well over 400 clouds for hosting providers around the world. OnApp believes it is the clear market leader in this sector.

Highlight features of OnApp version 2.2
OnApp software was developed from the ground up to enable mass-market hosts to build their own cloud hosting services. Version 2.2 includes:

Autoscaling: OnApp 2.2 supports ‘autoscale up’ and ‘autoscale out’ for virtual machines based on Linux operating systems. These features have never before been available to hosting providers at an affordable price point, or to cloud hosting customers without the technical knowledge required to operate complex cloud services from vendors such as Amazon. OnApp 2.2 provides these capabilities as standard through an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage graphical control panel:

• ‘Autoscale up’ enables a virtual machine hosted in the cloud to requisition more server resource automatically when it reaches a configurable threshold. This helps maintain performance for applications hosted in the cloud. For example, an application can automatically add more compute or storage capability when peaks of user activity reduce free resources to a certain level, and release it again when activity returns to normal.
• ‘Autoscale out’ clones a virtual machine when similar thresholds are met. For example, an e-commerce website might clone itself in order to balance transactions across more than one physical server. This would help improve availability and performance for online shoppers.

OnApp 2.2 handles the autoscaling process transparently, and automatically calculates billing for the additional resources.

Load balancing: OnApp 2.2’s load balancing features are powered by Loadbalancer.org, a leading provider of load balancing technology. Load balancing enables the cloud to support clusters of virtual machines that present themselves to users as a single website or application. Traffic is distributed across all virtual machines in the cluster, improving performance and resilience for cloud end users. Load balancing is managed through OnApp’s graphical control panel in just a few clicks.

FreeBSD support: OnApp 2.2 also adds support for virtual machines based on the FreeBSD operating system, a Linux-based OS that offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features. OnApp-powered clouds support an unrivalled range of Windows and Linux operating systems for virtual machines, in 32- and 64-bit flavours. This enables hosting providers to offer far greater choice to their customers in the applications they are able to move to the cloud.

A list of all new features, improvements and fixes in OnApp 2.2 is available at http://onapp.com/support/changelog.

About OnApp
OnApp is the leading provider of cloud management software for the hosting industry. OnApp software creates cloud infrastructure from any commodity hardware; provides rich out-of-the-box functionality for server, storage, VM, user, failover and billing management; has a high density design to maximize a host’s margins; and integrates with leading hosting applications including WHMCS, Ubersmith and HostBill.

Web Host News – Schenectady, NY - AYKsolutions, a New York-based market leader in the field of dedicated server hosting, shared hosting, and virtual private server (VPS) hosting, announced today a generous new sponsorship plan to support the ongoing growth of Linux Mint operating system. AYKsolutions is happy to encourage further development within the Linux community and hopes to help Linux Mint reach as many users as possible.

“Linux Mint is a great, free, and actively supported operating system that is easy to use and light on resources,” says Artyom Khmelnitsky, President of AYKsolutions. “With the popularity of the Linux operating system growing at an incredible rate, we are proud to offer two servers at our Denver data center facility, which Linux Mint currently uses for its repositories. This is an exceptional opportunity for us to give something back to the Linux community that we depend on so heavily in the hosting industry, and we are excited to be involved.”

Started in 2006, Linux Mint is a free Linux based operating system distribution that boasts flexibility, responsiveness, and a wide range of supported software packages. Linux Mint is the second most popular Linux variant in the world and the fourth most popular operating system overall, after Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS, and Canonical’s Ubuntu. Distinctively, Linux Mint offers centralized software sources in a similar style to the Apple App Store and the Android Marketplace, allowing Linux Mint’s users to easily browse, download, and install new software as well as application updates. As a direct result of this centralized approach and stunning growth in popularity, Linux Mint now requires a “best of breed” dedicated hosting solution to cater to its users, provided by AYKsolutions.

“With millions of users and a significant increase in our user base this year, our existing servers in Germany simply could not handle the amount of data needed to serve our users efficiently,” says Clement Lefebvre, Founder of Linux Mint. “When thousands of users hit the same server at exactly the same time, you need not only a server that can handle the processing of the information with RAM and CPU, but also, most importantly, a server that can output that much information at a time. The servers provided to us by AYKsolutions respectively serve 100Mb and 1Gb of data per second, enabling us to meet the ever increasing demands of new and existing Linux Mint users.”

There are many varied elements that can have an impact on the overall performance of a web hosting service, and it is common to find a service range that excels within one area but falls short elsewhere. For example, on hosting accounts that provide incredible connectivity features within a facility, a strict bandwidth restriction may be imposed to limit day-to-day usage. Linux Mint requires a dedicated server hosting solution with consistently high performance across all aspects of the hardware. AYKsolutions currently offers competitive hosting services in ten data centers worldwide, with disk space of up to four 1.5TB hard drives, RAM of up to 128GB, and 10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps dedicated uplink. This incredible specification is offered with unmetered bandwidth, allowing customers like Linux Mint to benefit from the full capacity of their hardware without the fear of usage restrictions.

“One of the most valuable aspects of the servers provided to us by AYKsolutions is unmetered bandwidth,” says Linux Mint’s Lefebvre. “This means that we can focus on improving our operating system, enjoy the benefits of its success, and see our user base grow even more without having to worry about not being able to serve them.”

“AYKsolutions is honored to be one of the core server providers for Linux Mint,” adds Khmelnitsky. “Without leaders such as Mr. Lefebvre, there would not be the leaps with open source distributions that we see here today. AYKsolutions will continue to support and work together with Linux Mint for as long as necessary.”

By offering the unrivalled power of unmetered dedicated server hosting to these key members of the Linux community, AYKsolutions is demonstrating an ongoing commitment to the development of operating system technology that makes Linux computing accessible. With this new partnership, set to become a long-term arrangement, both Linux Mint and AYKsolutions can continue to be leading forces in the growth of the web hosting and IT industry.

About Linux Mint
Since development began in 2006, Linux Mint has become the fourth most popular operating system in the world and the second most popular Linux OS variant on the market. Linux Mint is a modern, elegant system that blends remarkable ease of use with astonishing power and versatility. In addition, Linux Mint offers a centralized software store, allowing millions of users worldwide to access and download new software for their system as well as regular updates. Linux Mint is also completely free to download and use and is open source with an active development community looking to improve the main feature set on an ongoing basis.
