(The Hosting News) – PEER 1 Hosting announced its sponsorship of the UK’s Next Space programme. The programme will witness the exciting launch of a high-tech paper plane, named Vulture 1, into space. The mission is set for take-off in Summer 2010.
 
Paper Aircraft Released Into Space (PARIS) programme, inspired by Robert Harrison’s Icarus and the Cambridge University Spaceflight, aims to restore national pride in space exploration by setting the longest paper plane flight ever recorded. The PEER 1 Hosting sponsored aircraft will be lifted into the stratosphere where it will be released and history made.
 
The aircraft’s design still remains a top secret but what is certain is that it will carry a miniature camera, the Flycam, which will provide spectacular shots during its flight. It will also be equipped with a GPS system to track its progress and ensure its safe recovery and return.
 
Dominic Monkhouse, Managing Director, PEER 1 Hosting commented; “It is a huge privilege to be involved in such a ground-breaking programme. PEER 1 Hosting is all about innovation, doing things better and delivering outstanding performance, so we see significant parallels with the quality, engineering and excitement surrounding the Vulture 1 Mission.”
 
Phillip Mitchell, Operations Director, The Register said: “This is a truly exciting mission and is all about pushing the boundaries of space exploration. We are delighted that PEER 1 Hosting has come on board and with their support and enthusiasm we are sure to make this mission a success.”

(The Hosting News) – Colocation America announced today its redundant emergency protection systems for businesses and organizations of all sizes that utilize colocation and dedicated server hosting services. Colocation America’s redundant systems have protected businesses through adverse weather conditions this winter, earthquakes and other natural disasters, and network threats that consume and destroy network resources.

“We are seeing businesses get harsh treatment from the elements recently, and in that situation you want to be 100% sure your business can survive the most devastating conditions,” says Michael Trunkett, President at Colocation America. “With protected colocation servers storing a company’s essential data, you can stay on your feet and serve customers as usual, without interruption from natural disasters or conditions that could cause catastrophic failure.”

Businesses of all sizes need redundant emergency protection to safeguard financial information, employee information, data on projects in progress, sales and distribution information, and customer databases. Losing this data can set a company back for months or years, or it may not recover. Colocation America provides redundant emergency protection systems at all times as part of their colocation hosting services and dedicated hosting services.

“Without accurate customer information, the business-customer relationship erodes and companies can lose their competitive advantage,” says Trunkett. “In this economic environment that could be fatal, so our data centers secure our customers’ data with the highest level of both physical and virtual protection.”

Colocation America colocation facilities have a comprehensive suite of monitoring systems in place. Manned ground floor operation centers actively monitor security, fire protection, climate control and power systems. Monitoring of climate examines chillers, essential airflows, temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions. Individual customer power consumption is maintained with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems and backup generators.

“Highly trained technicians and engineers monitor our data centers around the clock, 24-7-365,” says Trunkett. “If a malicious threat occurs, or any change in environmental conditions, our specialized pre-action mechanisms kick in to prevent damage before it can occur.”

Colocation America provides clients with a secure data center environment that ensures their critical systems and the data they contain are protected under a range of conditions. Colocation and dedicated hosting customers interested in protecting their business data are encouraged to visit the Colocation America website at www.ColocationAmerica.com for more information on Colocation America’s emergency systems.

Shared Hosting Myths

Countless web hosting sites have surfaced on the World Wide Web.  And so have countless web hosting offers & countless myths! It’s time to cut through delusions & know the truth about web hosting; shared hosting in particular in this post.

Here are some common myths related to Shared web hosting, which no longer hold true.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is a victim of “bad neighborhood” problem

no bad neighborhood in shared web hosting

It’s a common belief that as hundreds of websites are sharing the common server space in shared web hosting, your site might suffer from slow speed if any of the bad neighbors (websites) is consuming lots of RAM/disk IO/memory/network etc.

Fact—Most of the good web hosting providers have been able to minimize this problem to a great extent with their quick action & considerable monitoring of the server. A good provider aims to keep its server in a healthy state by keeping a constant vigil on its online resources. If any intricacies crop up on the server, it takes the necessary action to resolve the issues and send an alert to all the website owners. As a result, the ‘bad neighborhood’ problem is no more a serious concern.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is non-flexible

It’s a common perception that shared hosting is not flexible, and not many latest software can be run on the shared server. shared-web-hosting

Fact—Shared web hosting is flexible. A good shared web hosting provider would allow you to successfully install and run any software provided it adheres to its AUP (acceptable use policy) & does not consume a lot of available resources on the server. It also fetches you all the required tools using which you can install the software in the home directory of your website & are not supposed to reboot your system to run the same.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is NOT up-to-date

It’s commonly believed that shared hosting does not entail the latest developments & resources in the web hosting business.

Fact—A good modern shared web host equips its users with all the advanced tools, applications & resources besides updating its repository with new tools from time to time. So, when you purchase a shared web hosting plan keep aside all the fears & go ahead confidently hosting your site on a shared web server.

Myth#: That Shared hosting is full of hassles.

Many people think since there are numerous websites housed on a common server, the experience of shared web hosting would be problematic or rather horrifying. And that, it can deter the progress of your website.

Fact—Shared web hosting does not encompass hassles as it’s commonly thought. Also, it’s available at quite affordable prices, and does not create a hole in your pocket in the process of hosting your website. In shared hosting, the backup of all your data & files is created on the server. So, you don’t need to worry about the aspect of data loss too.

We hope that reading this post would help you overcome some of the myths that you may have about shared hosting, and prompt you to try a shared web hosting plan of a good provider for your website.
