Chicago, IL: June 23, 2010: SingleHop Inc., a leading provider of dedicated servers and complex hosting solutions, announced Monday that it has launched the SingleHop Community (community.singlehop.com), a forum which allows SingleHop customers to participate in online discussions with each other and with SingleHop employees.
“We’re extremely excited about the SingleHop Community,” said Zak Boca, President and CEO of SingleHop. “Not only does it give our customers a place to share ideas and connect with each other socially, it gives us a new, highly effective tool to provide information and collect customer feedback.”
The SingleHop Community is open to the public as well as current customers, and contains areas for discussion on topics ranging from network performance to cloud computing and application development. A special “Tutorials” section gives users access to step-by-step tutorials created by SingleHop staff members, and allows customers to create their own tutorials in their areas of expertise.
SingleHop anticipates that the forum will quickly become a go-to resource for the IT professionals and business owners who make up their customer base. “The SingleHop Community will be a great place for our customers to trade tips and offer suggestions on an incredible variety of topics,” Boca said. “It will also improve customer satisfaction by serving as a how-to resource for new customers and as a venue for suggestions on ways we can enhance our services even more.”
Many companies use customer forums to provide updates on critical customer service issues, and the SingleHop Community will serve the same purpose when necessary, Boca said. “While our goal is to provide 100% uptime for every customer, we want to use every means to get information out as quickly as possible in the event that there is a service disruption.” A “Network Status” thread in the forum provides updates on SingleHop system performance, as well as the performance of “upstream providers” which affect the flow of data to and from SingleHop’s servers.

(The Hosting News) – Cloud Linux Inc has announced that Hosting Metro will integrate CloudLinux into its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) to its customers. Hosting Metro offers a full suite of hosting services from domain names to dedicated servers including shared, VPS and managed hosting. Selected for its new innovative Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) technology, Hosting Metro will deploy CloudLinux to increase its ability to deliver the stability, reliability and customer service to its customers.
“We have always put our customers needs first and when we started working with CloudLinux, we saw the benefits of increased stability and reliability and realized what a great win it would be for customers,” said Tony Chu, Hosting Metro CEO. “CloudLinux will deliver the solid infrastructure our customers demand and which is the reputation that Hosting Metro has been built upon.”
Hosting Metro customers include not only individuals but also small business and enterprises customers who depend on a stable and available infrastructure to host their business IT needs including websites, email and databases. With CloudLinux, Hosting Metro will be able to provide their customers with:
* Increased uptime since no one account can slow down or take down an entire shared server
* Better reliability and performance with a server that is running at peak operating capacity
* Compatibility with all major control panels for easy management
CloudLinux’s core technology is Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. While similar to container type virtualization technology, LVE is completely transparent and lightweight. Once installed, the LVE works transparently to manage resources that the hosting provider sets for the accounts on a server. It controls the CPU resources to ensure that each account on a shared server is allocated enough resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other tenants on that server, making the server more stable and delivering better performance.
“Hosting Metro’s offerings are based on providing reliable and resilient services to its diverse customer base. CloudLinux will provide the control and performance to deliver the high quality services demanded by Hosting Metro’s clients,” states Igor Seletskiy <http://www.cloudlinux.com/managementteam.html> , Cloud Linux Inc.’s Founder and CEO.
With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server. Compatible with major control panels for easy management and deployment, CloudLinux offers cloud and dedicated server hosting providers with increased server control and stability.
