News: Reseller Web Hosting Colocation Facility by WireNine, Deploys R1Soft CDP
Ontario, Canada - (The Hosting News) - January 9, 2009 - Developer of near-continuous data protection products for Linux and Windows, R1Soft, has been chosen by WireNine, to enable its users to manage backups, taken four times daily, at its Dallas, Texas colocation facility.
In addition, users may access an archive of the most recent 28 restore points - an entire week's worth of backups. WireNine.com is a privately owned provider of Linux-based shared, reseller, semi-dedicated and dedicated cPanel web hosting.

With R1Soft CDP, servers can operate at full capacity without a significant performance impact during the backup process.
Users can now manage backups through their cPanel control panel interface. Full backups are created four times each day, and up to 28 previous restore points are automatically archived - allowing users to access an entire week of backups.
Ali Khan, Founder of WireNine.com noted, ''Whether it's a disaster or just accidental data loss, the ability to access such a vast assortment of restore points is vital functionality that we are excited to offer to our customers. R1Soft allows us to take data protection to the next level, as we continue to seek value-added products and services to make WireNine an even more attractive choice for web hosting in this competitive market.''
All existing and new customers are able to take advantage of R1Soft backups at no additional charge.
WireNine offers a variety of configurations in shared hosting, reseller hosting, semi-dedicated servers, and dedicated servers. WireNine houses its servers in the SoftLayer datacenter near downtown Dallas, Texas.
Founded in 2004, WireNine is a privately owned provider of Linux-based cPanel web hosting services for small to medium sized businesses. Offering a suite of shared hosting, reseller, dedicated and affiliate services, WireNine has grown to be a one-stop web solutions firm for customers internationally.
