(The Hosting News) — Sliqua, a provider of custom hosting solutions, today announced it has enrolled in the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program (R1HPP) to qualify for aggressive volume discounts on R1Soft Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) products.
R1HPP volume license discounts enable Sliqua to offer its Enterprise Shared Hosting customers reliable data protection with a two-week backup retention free of charge, and an option to add CDP for a reduced price. As an R1Soft Hosting Partner, Sliqua also acquires access to priority technical support and an assortment of sales and marketing resources to help it effectively market and implement R1Soft CDP software.
Sliqua uses R1Soft’s high-performance, disk to disk backup software to protect its customers Linux servers and MySQL databases with consistent, hourly backups and bare-metal restore capabilities. In the event of a disaster, Sliqua can rapidly restore the customers’ websites within minutes from the last point-in-time snapshot of the website data. R1Soft CDP technology allows Sliqua to perform real-time, table-level restores of MySQL databases.
“Sliqua’s customer base largely consists of bloggers and businesses that rely on their website as a primary source of income, so we needed a solid data protection strategy that would provide our customers with hourly backups of their critical data. We also needed a solution that uses minimal server resources. R1Soft’s overhead for the backup processes is so low we don’t even notice that R1Soft is running in the background, it just works,” said Alexander McMillen, President and CEO of Sliqua.
Since offering R1Soft, Sliqua has received plenty of positive feedback from customers who can appreciate the importance of having reliable backups available.
“R1Soft has gotten me out of a jam more times than I can count. There is nothing like the peace of mind you have when you know all of your valuable data is there and ready if the worst should happen, or you break your code,” said Sliqua customer Robb Sutton of RobbSutton.com.

Offering web hosting services for over five years now, Freehostia is slightly different from the rest. A new customer can start out with a free web hosting account to try out the services and move up to a paid account accordingly. Sure, there are a few hosting companies out there that offer similar free accounts, but Freehostia does it without forced advertising.
Accounts offered
Freehostia offers five different account levels – Chocolate, Watercircle, Lovebeat, Wildhoney and Supernatural. These plans range in pricing from free to $9.95 a month.
Chocolate – 250 MB in disk space, 6 GB bandwidth, 3 PHP3/IMAP e-mail accounts, 1 MySQL database, 10 MB database space – free
Watercircle – 500 MB in disk space, 12 GB bandwidth, 100 POP3/IMAP e-mail accounts, 2 MySQL databases, 25 MB database space – $2.95 a month
Lovebeat – 12000 MB in disk space, 150 GB bandwidth, 300 PHP3/IMAP e-mail accounts, 8 MySQL databases, 60 MB database space – $4.95 a month
Wildhoney – 35000 MB in disk space, 400 GB bandwidth, free domain name, 15 MySQL databases, 90 MB database space – $7.95 a month
Supernatural – 90000 MB in disk space, 900 GB bandwidth, free domain name, 50 MySQL databases, 120 MB database space – $9.95 a month
1-Click installer
Elefante is offered with all accounts (even the free account). The Elefante installer is a software platform that enables web site owners to quickly install a variety of programs with a single click of the mouse button. Over 40 PHP scripts are offered in categories such as wikis, blogs, CMS, e-commerce and more.
Some of the more popular blog software offerings are Movable Type, WordPress, and b2evolution. The CMS programs within Elefante are a bit more impressive of a list – Drupal, Mambo, Moodle, Joomla and eight other popular CMS programs are available. In the category of e-commerce, Elefante offers osCommRes and osCommerce. All in all, Elefante is a great added feature to all Freehostia accounts.
Support
Freehostia has a customer care department at work 24×7. All hosting customers (with the exception of those using free hosting) can expect to receive an answer within 1 hour of contacting the support department. Free hosting customers are not completely disregarded but aren’t given priority – expected support answer waiting time is 6 hours.
The hosting company offers video tutorials, FAQs, a knowledge base and a ticketing system for support as well. The online contact form is easily found within Freehostia’s support area. While not the most expansive of support areas, Freehostia offers a good solid range of options when one is in need of assistance.
Conclusion
With most free hosting accounts offered by web hosting businesses requiring that advertising be present on all web pages, it’s nice to find a company that not only offers ad-free accounts for no charge but also gives free hosting clients the standard features one would expect from a paid service. Add in the ability to upgrade to accounts that are very economical, Freehostia is a web hosting service worth checking out.
(The Hosting News) – Internetters, one of the leading providers of domain names, web hosting and email services in the UK, has this week announced significant enhancements to its range of shared hosting solutions
Of the main enhancements to the Internetters web hosting range, perhaps the most significant is the move to unlimited bandwidth, bringing that particular element back in line with many competitors on the market. With varying degrees of bandwidth usage previously available depending on hosting package, customers buying any of the four web hosting packages will now receive unlimited bandwidth usage.
In addition, the management of MySQL databases has been improved, with easier upgrade channels, faster provisioning and reduced pricing making it easier for customers to expand their database driven websites.
“The fact that we’ve been making some significant improvements to our service is no secret after recent announcements in relation to our domain names, our VPS partnership and the general makeover of the website.” Comments Errol Vanderhorst, Managing Director at Internetters.
“It was the turn of web hosting this time and the inclusion of unlimited bandwidth and upgrades to MySQL management are just the start of a process that will see several new features and upgrades introduced in the coming months”
Internetters is an established UK based web service provider offering domain names, web hosting and email services to suit the requirements of both consumers and businesses throughout the UK and beyond. A variety of recent service updates has seen a positive reaction from its global customer base and the company continues to put together plans for further improvement to cement its position as one of the leading providers in the UK.

Created by software company Biztology, Cube Panel is a control panel application that provides the ultimate in automation to simplify the process of managing a server or website. Though overshadowed by more popular options such as cPanel and Plesk, this control panel is very capable and a worthy competitor on the market. If you are currently considering a control panel for your server, this article will give you four reasons why Cube Panel makes an excellent choice.
1.) Powerful and Intuitive
While the software is loaded with a host of features, the Cube Panel interface is simple and refreshingly intuitive. Similar to cPanel, the main page is where you will find the most essential features and virtually everything you need. There is a small column to the left of the page that gives a brief overview of your statistics as well as information on resources such as email accounts, FTP accounts and MySQL databases. Whether it is composing mailing lists or installing SSL certificates, Cube Panel makes sure it can all be done with ease.
2.) Cross-Platform Solution
Unlike cPanel, Cube Panel not only supports the Linux operating system, but Unix and Windows platforms as well. And unlike Plesk, it does so with maximum efficiency to give you the best performance possible. This factor alone gives it a considerable advantage over some of the most popular control panel programs.
3.) Integrated Data Backup Functionality
Losing the important data on your server can result in major headaches and detrimental ramifications for your business. Cube Panel makes this a less likely scenario by providing a built-in utility that enables you to backup every piece of data. All you have to do is click the “Backup copies” button to launch the Backup Management feature. From here, you can instantly create a single copy of your website, or choose increments based on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Cube Panel makes it simple to protect your data and easily restore it directly from a user-friendly interface.
4.) Extensive Domain Options
Cube Panel’s domain features serve as a great benefit to the hosting customer. Its domain options are divided into two separate pages: Domain Permissions and Domain Limits. The Domain Permissions page gives you an overview of the features specific to your web hosting account. This includes what type of server-side programming support you have, where you stand in regard to FTP access and so forth. The Domain Limits page displays all the services and resources specific to your account. For example, it shows the total number of email accounts you are able to create, how much disk space is available to you, bandwidth allotment and much more. These features allow you to easily keep track of your account and determine when upgrades are required.
Conclusion
The selling point of Cube Panel is simplicity. Even though it provides many useful features, the mere design of the software makes for convenient navigation and great performance. Although a license will cost you around a $100, you can test out it for free with Cube Panel Lite, a limited version that still lends a great deal of power to server administrators. Keep your eyes on this control panel because it could be a major player in the very near future.
