Pearl River, New York - (The Hosting News) - May 14, 2008 - EasyCGI web hosting firm, has added two new dedicated Windows VPS plans, each with two terabytes of bandwidth, to its service portfolio.

As a Microsoft partner, Easy CGI is increasing their number of dedicated server plans to five. Their range of plans is now capable of satisfying almost any dedicated hosting need - from those of small businesses, to those of large corporations.

The two new plans, Dedicated X10 and Dedicated X20, offer 100 and 200 gigabytes of disk space, respectively, two and four gigabytes of RAM, and two terabytes of bandwidth per month.

Dan Richfield, President of Easy CGI noted, ”Customers clearly want more server capability such as more disk storage and memory. We’ve always prided ourselves on being flexible about delivering what our customers want.”

Significantly, all of Easy CGI’s dedicated VPS plans guarantee a limited number of virtual servers for each hardware node, something few other hosting services do. By limiting the number of virtualization clients, each client is assured of a greater share of processor time, RAM, and disk space.

Dedicated virtual private servers (VPS) are midway between shared web hosting services and dedicated hosting services. They create multiple, independent virtual servers, each with its own operating system and other software, on a single, partitioned physical server. VPS customers enjoy the benefits of private hosting, but a less cost than having their own dedicated server.

Mr. Richfield continued, ”These range of plans suits almost any company of any size that needs an economical alternative to dedicated hosting. Our plans offer a variety of options, coupled with cutting edge technology.”

Recently, EasyCGI has released its Window Server 2008, making it available to all hosting customers, to allow for flexibility, better performance and greater security, with hosting features designed to save programming time and ehance profitability. Read more of this news »

Renton, Washington - (The Hosting News) - May 8, 2008 - Parallels’ Virtuozzo Containers, have been selected by managed hosting provider, Liquid Web, for its new Microsoft Windows virtual private server (VPS) offering.

The offering will be delivered from Liquid Web’s two fully owned and operated mid-western datacenters. This represents an expanded partnership with Parallels, who already supplies Liquid Web with Parallels Plesk Control Panel software, which is bundled with all Windows dedicated server offerings.

Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels noted, ”We are pleased that Liquid Web has selected Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and the Parallels Open Platform for this important new offering and that our two companies are deepening our partnership. Parallels Virtuozzo Containers offers the highest levels of density, manageability and scalability, which makes it an ideal solution for datacenter owners who want to offer a wide variety of fully managed services.”

Liquid Web takes advantage of the Parallels Virtuozzo Containers’ architecture to offer burstable memory for example, temporarily adding more memory to a container during a short period of high activity, so clients may have access to more server resources than they actually pay for. The architecture provides this capability while guaranteeing minimal levels of service so clients never have less memory than they contract for.

Travis Stoliker, Marketing Director of Liquid Web commented, ”Our VPS offerings give a significant competitive advantage over hypervisor-based solutions. The high density, reliability, power savings, and management tools of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers allow us to provide our customers with more attractive offerings.”
