News: Web Hosting Provider, Cyber Host Pro, Relocates Servers
Manchester, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - July 16, 2008 - Web hosting provider, Cyber Host Pro, has moved its servers from Texas to the UK, while upgrading its operating system to the Dell Poweredge 1950s, with Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.
Chris Danks, President of Cyber Host Pro explained, ''Although it's less expensive to locate them in the USA, virtually all of the companies whose Websites we host are based in the UK or Europe. With the servers now located here, they'll start to get much better results from Google and other searches.''
Mr. Danks explained that one of the criteria search engines use in ranking search results is the IP address of the Website. If the server hosting the site is in the US, it will have a US IP address and the first search results will be geographically skewed to North America.
In concert with the move of its servers, Cyber Host Pro has also upgraded all of its servers to Dell Poweredge 1950s -- the very latest in server technology -- running Windows 2008 with IIS 7.
For hosted sites, those changes mean faster performance, greater availability and reliability, and improved security.
Mr. Danks added, ''Among other things, these new configurations isolate each Website's memory from that of other Websites on the same server. It's similar to VPS, but less expensive. That means if one or more Websites on the server are making particularly heavy demands on RAM, your site won't be affected -- it will still load and perform as quickly as ever.''
For added security Cyber Host Pro has also upgraded to R1Soft Backup, which makes a complete backup image, twice a day, of each hosted Website. Clients can easily review all changes made to their Websites in the past month and restore any changes with a single click. There's no need to submit a trouble ticket or pay the hosting company for the restore.
Mr. Danks concluded, ''The typical charge to restore an SQL database is around $30. But we provide our clients with My Little Backup and My Little Admin to manage their sites. Normally, those are expensive pieces of software, but we've licensed the software and provide it free to all our clients.''
Mr. Danks also points out that Cyber Host Pro has an enviable record when it comes to dealing with trouble tickets: "We officially state that most tickets are responded to within one hour. In fact, it's usually within 15 minutes, and we also have a live chat feature that gets you online with one of our support staff in a minute, or less, most of the time.
For providing top technology and high levels of service to its clients, Cyber Host Pro Ltd. was recently awarded the Webhostdirectory.com award as the #1 UK Windows Web Hosting provider for June 2008.
Cyber Host Pro, serves the UK with Windows 2008, 2003 and Linux Web hosting and reseller hosting, plus domain name registration and search engine submission. Our servers are 100% UK-based to optimize results from UK- and Europe-based searches. Its shared hosting and reseller hosting plans are feature rich and backed by 24/7/365 technical support, giving your business a powerful, all-inclusive package, with no need to purchase any extras. All web hosting and reseller plans offer a wide range of services, including email. When windows web hosting is selected, its mail server offers integration in to Microsoft Outlook with the ability to synchronise contact lists, calendars, and tasks within Web mail, so that contacts may be accessed from any computer (as a standard feature).

News: Reseller Web Hosting Company, ResellersPanel, Debuts Elefante Installer
London, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - July 16, 2008 - Web hosting company, ResellersPanel, has developed its new Elefante PHP Scripts project, which it recently completed and launched online.
Uniquely built to provide detailed descriptions, demo versions and free installation, the Elefante PHP website includes a web hosting plan of more than 30 open-source PHP scripts (Blog, Forum, Gallery, CMS, and other services). The new services are designed to help customers with online creation and can work toward boosting the Search Engine Optimization of reseller web hosting stores online.
When customers open http://elefanteinstaller.com, they will visit the website in 'regular mode,' that is - the website will be offering only detailed descriptions and demo versions of all PHP scripts - for the customers to get acquainted with them, try whichever they want in real website environment, and decide which one will be in their best practical use.
If a customer opens http://elefanteinstaller.com through the respective link placed on the reseller web-store, he or she will be able to see the Elefante website in reseller store mode with not only descriptions and demo versions of the scripts, but also with your web hosting offers coming together with a free installation of a PHP script of their choice.
All web hosting plans will be priced exactly the way they were set them up in the original reseller store (the one that the client has been link-redirected from), and Elefantinstaller.com will be actually working as a reseller store add-on, i.e. additional reseller store. In this particular case the URL of the website coming in the browser's address bar will be of the type that includes the storename, that is - containing the reseller ID in the domain name. Moreover, the browser will save a cookie, so next time, if the client decides to go again to this page and types www.elefanteinstaller.com in the address bar of the browser, the website will be again opened with the reseller ID included in the URL name.
In addition, companies will be able to not only purchase web hosting plans with a free script installation, but also download for free any of the templates we've provided for Joomla (CMS). The Joomla templates, when downloaded from the website with a URL containing the reseller ID, will have SEO links in the footer section - one to the free reseller web store and one to Elefanteinstaller.com (with a domain name URL containing you reseller ID). This way, all visitors downloading our templates - customers of yours buying web hosting plans with free PHP script installation, or visitors who simply like the templates and want to make use of them through the available free download - will actually create SEO linking to web stores and can serve to boost the SEO image of private brand hosting reseller businesses.
ResellersPanel has been in business since 2003, and is the first and to this date the only company in the web hosting business offering a completely free, fully-automated reseller hosting program. Approximately 100 000 resellers have established full-featured private label web hosting companies. ResellersPanel also offers also a cPanel reseller hosting program, dedicated, semi-dedicated and virtual private servers, domain name registration.

Instead of having to assemble various pieces of a PCI solution individually, Rackspace is providing a PCI toolbox that will assist customers in becoming compliant to the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS). The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) is a comprehensive set of security requirements developed by the payment card industry and applies to all businesses that accept process or store credit card information.

The PCI Toolbox allows customers to focus on their business.''
As with all Rackspace products, the PCI Toolbox is backed by Fanatical Support which offers 24x7x365 and access to a dedicated team of security experts. This team of experienced security professionals is available as a resource for customer security and PCI issues and stays up to date on upcoming changes and additions to the PCI compliance regulations.

The full PCI Toolbox solution includes the following components:
• Anti-virus Protection
• Customer Network Scanning Services
• File System Integrity Service
• Firewall Services
• Intrusion Detection Services
• Log Management Service
• Patch Management Services
• Physical System Security
• SSL Certificates
• VPN System Management Access
Dan Boblit, Vice President at BigBadToyStore noted, ''Like Rackspace, our business is built around providing our customers with excellent service. Rackspace has removed another burden for us with its suite of PCI Compliance tools. Now, not only do we rely on Rackspace for hardware support, but PCI support as well, giving us the ability to provide our customers with the best and most up-to-date credit card processing options.''
Rackspace delivers a diverse suite of enterprise-class hosted IT services to businesses of all sizes.
