Albany, New York - (The Hosting News) - March 20, 2009 - Free web site migration services for qualified new dedicated server customers, is being offered by TurnKey Internet, as one of the first companies making such an offering.

Adam Wills, president, TurnKey Internet remarked, ''Account migration is a service that has been the subject of increasing customer demand, and as we continue to focus on serving value-minded customers, it is appropriate to offer this service free of charge. ''This is an opportunity to introduce a value-add that makes the decision to switch to TurnKey Internet even more attractive. Many of our prospective clients are looking to leverage our high speed, lower cost hosting solutions, but have been hesitant to make the move primarily based on the concern of a complicated migration process.''

Free migration services enable dedicated server customers to switch to TurnKey Internet without worrying about the often arduous process of transferring individual web sites from the previous server to the new server. Botched web site migration jobs can cause costly downtime or even data loss. When managed correctly, web site migration between servers is a smooth process with no downtime or data loss.

Many larger web hosts and data centers avoid migration services due to the complexity and support levels involved, but TurnKey Internet’s flexibility and close customer interaction enable it to offer fully managed, value-added services.

To receive free migration services, customers must purchase a new dedicated server from TurnKey Internet with a control panel (cPanel, ServerCP or Plesk) and managed service plan (gold or higher). Qualified configurations start at only $159 per month.

Free migration services include up to two hours of technician time per newly purchased qualified dedicated server, which provides adequate time for the majority of migration cases. Customers with large quantities of web sites or especially complex migration environments can receive additional services at a discounted hourly rate.

All dedicated servers include 24x7 Toll-free phone, live chat, and help desk support, and offer a 100% network uptime guarantee and 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Clients have their choice of Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows Server (2003 or 2008), and can take advantage of web-based remote reboots, real-time server monitoring, managed firewall services, and off-site backups.

London, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - March 20, 2009 - The London Internet Exchange (LINX) recently held a workshop dedicated to the topic of IPv6 implementation, designed to promote the features and benefits of using IPv6 especially in light of the decline of available IPv4 address space.

Well over 100 industry professionals attended the London workshop looking to learn more about the techniques and tools needed to offer IPv6 on their networks.

The event was co-sponsored by the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), part of the former DTI, who along with LINX were looking to bring IPv6 to the top of the industry agenda.

Simon Hicks of BERR commented, ''This meeting was a great opportunity to discuss this important issue with key industry players. We are keen to develop structured timelines for a full scale move to IPv6 and this event has brought into focus the need to act now rather than later. I came away feeling positive that our objectives for this workshop had been met.''

The programme for the workshop was dedicated entirely to the technical issues of IPv6 implementation and operation. It featured sessions on how to make the transition, the tools currently available to implement it and methods on how to take IPv6 to users via broadband. Also highlighted were recommended processes and best practice techniques plus case studies on IPv6 deployment from LINX member Claranet and from the RIPE NCC, one of the five regional registries providing Internet resource allocations including IPv6 addresses.

Andy Davidson, who attended and presented on behalf of Netsumo, commented, ''This was a great event. The content was pitched perfectly and was exactly the kind of meeting we needed to accelerate the community's adoption of IPv6.''

The event programme was co-ordinated and chaired by LINX Chief Technical Officer, Mike Hughes, who commented, ''We were delighted at the response we had to this workshop. The feedback has shown that there is a strong desire for similar events in future including special IPv6 tutorial sessions and we will be doing all we can to facilitate these for the community.''
