Certified Hosting Announces Free CloudFlare Hosting Features

2012-01-06T14:21:00-05:00

Los Angeles, CA (Gawkwire) January 4^th, 2012 – Certified Hosting, a leading web hosting provider offering shared web hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated server hosting plans, announced today the introduction of CloudFlare functionality through all shared hosting and reseller hosting services. The service, which is fully integrated with Certified Hosting’s existing cPanel web hosting setup, improves website performance and security for a better, safer, and more dependable end-user experience.

“We have been in discussions with CloudFlare for a while now, and we have worked hard to bring this incredible new technology to our customers,” says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. “With the click of a button on their existing cPanel installation, our shared hosting and reseller hosting customers can now provide a faster, more responsive service to their end-users, without worrying about downtime or threats to their security.”

Launched just over a year ago, CloudFlare was initially developed with a focus on securing websites and protecting them against a range of potentially crippling online attacks. Developers Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn began creating a “firewall in the cloud” where visitor traffic passes through one of 13 data centers before it reaches your website. Here, traffic can be monitored, and in the event of a traffic spike, CloudFlare automatically checks for signs of spamming, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and bot crawling. Most distinctively, since the CloudFlare servers act as proxies to numerous websites, the CloudFlare security system actively learns from attacks and grows progressively more intelligent over time. As a result, Certified Hosting users who opt for CloudFlare functionality can be confident that their website is robustly defended at all times.

“CloudFlare takes security off of the list of things our users have to manage for themselves,” explains Carlsen. “After selecting a security level for their website, our shared web hosting users can let CloudFlare manage their security with no further input required. Even better, in the event that a web hosting server does become overloaded with disruptive traffic, the CloudFlare system automatically calls upon a cached version of the website from one of the distributed cloud servers. Our customers can be completely assured that their website is available to end-users consistently, and is always performing at its best.”

The cloud-based distributed nature of CloudFlare does not only impact website security – Certified Hosting customers will also notice significant improvements to the speed and performance of their website. Usually, when an end-user logs on to a page, the content must be transmitted from one static server to their home computer. Potentially, this requires traffic to be routed around the entire world. When using CloudFlare, a mirrored version of the website can be accessed on the CloudFlare server that is geographically nearest to the user. As a result, page loading times decrease dramatically and customers are able to view website content or place orders quicker than ever before.

“We are pleased to add Certified Hosting as a partner,” says Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of CloudFlare. “Certified Hosting has integrated CloudFlare into their control panel, making it simple to offer improved website performance and security to all of their customers.”

“CloudFlare makes accessing websites lightning-fast, while also making sites more secure,” says Carlsen. “But I guess the thing I like most about CloudFlare is that it works perfectly, without requiring our customers to learn a completely new system. At Certified Hosting, we are always looking for new ways to give our customers better service on their unlimited web hosting plans, without introducing complexity.”

As Certified Hosting has grown, the company’s commitment to improving its flagship unlimited hosting services has always remained at the forefront. Now, with the addition of easy-to-deploy CloudFlare functionality, every customer can enjoy new and improved features at no extra cost.

JaguarPC Rolls Out CloudLinux Across Shared Hosting and Reseller Hosting Services

2011-12-30T13:59:00-05:00

Fulshear, TX (Gawkwire) December 28, 2011 – JaguarPC, a market-leader in shared hosting, reseller web hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS hosting), and dedicated server hosting, announced today the implementation of the CloudLinux operating system (OS) to further improve server stability. Working alongside the policies and practices that JaguarPC already has in place, the deployment of this new operating system specifically designed for use in shared hosting environments provides customers with peace of mind that their web presence is in good hands.

“Across every element of JaguarPC’s services, we are continually looking for ways to become even better,” says Greg Landis, CEO at JaguarPC. “One of our ongoing concerns is that some shared hosting customers might suffer if one of the other users, who shares their hardware, places too much demand on resources, through misuse or natural growth in popularity. We have investigated a number of different methods to protect our users from this problem, and CloudLinux came out with the best results.”

Also known as “web hosting,” a shared hosting service is the standard choice for most startup businesses or individuals looking to establish themselves online. In early stages, traffic levels and content types require fairly limited use of system resources such as bandwidth, RAM, disk space, and processing power. With several accounts hosted on the same hardware, shared hosting plans are a cost-effective way to launch a web presence and begin the process of building an online reputation. However, as a business grows and web presence demands change, there is a necessity to use increasing amounts of system resources, which, in turn, can result in a noticeable loss of service quality for any other customers hosted on the same server. CloudLinux OS is a variant of the popular Linux operating system that is specifically designed and built for the purposes of web hosting, with kernel-level functionality to control potential overuse of resources from occurring and impacting other accounts.

“With CloudLinux, every one of our shared hosting accounts has a definitive resource limit that can’t be stretched under any circumstances,” says Landis. “This completely removes the possibility of unpredictable spikes in traffic or system usage causing problems for other accounts, regardless of how many different users share your hardware. Even better, our customers will only notice the changes we are rolling out because their server will be more stable. When it comes to usability and convenience, CloudLinux works just like CentOS or any of the other major Linux builds.”

The dependability of CloudLinux web hosting also brings with it some benefits for JaguarPC’s growing number of reseller web hosting users. As a direct result of increased server stability, hosting resellers are able to more confidently deploy a larger number of accounts per server, maximizing revenue levels without needing to compromise performance or quality of service. In addition, CloudLinux reseller hosting plans are likely to decrease the overall number of calls for support that resellers receive from their customers, thanks to continued compatibility with the convenient cPanel control panel software, and decreased likelihood of service degradation at any point.

“In the 13 years since we were founded, we have always focused on delivering excellent customer service,” says Landis. “But we know that achieving this goal depends on keeping up with the latest improvements in technology that our customers could make use of. With CloudLinux, we have finally found an operating system that can give our shared hosting customers complete peace of mind that they won’t suffer the consequences of somebody else’s resource abuse. As we roll out CloudLinux OS across the network, we are confident that our customers will see the increased server stability for themselves.”

Having built its reputation on outstanding customer care, JaguarPC has grown to become a key web hosting provider with satisfied customers all around the world. Now, by adding the stability of CloudLinux OS to existing services, including 24/7 customer support, JaguarPC is ready to give its customers yet another reason to put their trust – and their web presence – in the hands of JaguarPC shared hosting.

Customers who are interested in learning more about JaguarPC’s range of shared web hosting and reseller web hosting services are encouraged to visit JaguarPC.com or call (888) 338-5261 for more details.

Certified Hosting Uses New How To Videos To Connect With Customers

2011-12-14T14:05:00-05:00

Los Angeles, CA (Gawkwire) December 12, 2011 – Certified Hosting, the leading specialist in shared hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated server hosting services, announced today the launch of exciting new video content available at certifiedhosting.com. With a friendly, informative style designed to make the basics of web hosting easier to understand, Certified Hosting’s new videos help to put a face to this rapidly growing hosting company.

“The truth is that the web hosting industry can at times be a little cold and uninviting,” says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. “That’s not what we are about. At Certified Hosting, we are real people who love getting to know our customers, whether we are helping them get started with their hosting or just hearing about the success they have had online. Our latest video, available now, explains the basics of getting your web hosting service online and acts as an introduction so that every potential customer knows we are friendly people and always willing to help.”

Although almost everybody can identify the major benefits of establishing a web presence online, the realities of implementing a professional, attractive and easy to navigate website can be overwhelming to those with no prior knowledge of web hosting services. In addition to the difficulty of choosing between different types of hosting such as dedicated server hosting or VPS web hosting plans, businesses need to choose and register a useful domain, link this domain to their hosting plan, and then launch actual content onto their server. Certified Hosting’s latest video, ‘How To Create A Website In 5 Steps,’ is delivered by Kacy Carlsen herself, with a friendly, humorous approach that helps to engage the audience and make learning the basics of setting up a website an enjoyable experience.

“There are so many options out there,” says Carlsen. “Not only are there a lot of web hosting service providers, but also each of those website hosts offer different things. It’s too much to expect that potential customers should have to research the definitions to our in-house jargon that only a geek like me will understand. So what we’ve done is to explain, in real terms, what buttons need to be hit in order to get a site up and running. Then, once customers have begun to grasp the basics, I’m hoping they’ll take advantage of our new Ask Kacy feature to keep developing a good relationship with Certified Hosting.”

In addition to the informative video guide to setting up a website hosting plan, Certified Hosting also now offers an informal question and answer service, called Ask Kacy. By completing a short online form, current and potential customers can get in direct contact with Certified Hosting’s co-founder and CEO to ask a question on just about any subject. The new video blog (VLog) works alongside over 200 existing video tutorials to provide a more comprehensive overview of what Certified Hosting does and how the company works. In the first video of the series, Carlsen outlines the recruitment process of technical support staff, identifying the key traits that lead to the creation of a helpful team to respond to online chat, ticketed support, or phone calls. Carlsen hopes that the introduction of Ask Kacy will make Certified Hosting’s customer service division even more impressive.

“I like getting great service when I make a purchase,” says Carlsen. “But the Internet can be a very anonymous place, and some web hosting services use this as an excuse to hide in an office and leave customers to fend for themselves. In a physical store, face to face interaction makes helping customers easier. Our continued focus on video guides, video tutorials, and video responses to questions helps us to mimic that intimacy and achieve the best customer service in the business.”

In the years since the company was first founded, Certified Hosting has seen rapid growth, becoming the leading provider of web hosting and reseller hosting services – largely thanks to outstanding customer service. Now, despite the sheer volume of customers who have chosen Certified Hosting for their website, Carlsen and her team are finding new ways to maintain that sense of care and assistance.

Digital Scepter Achieves Palo Alto Networks Platinum Partner Status

2011-12-08T14:20:00-05:00

Murrieta, CA (Gawkwire) December 6, 2011 – Digital Scepter, a boutique security integrator with a focus on offering quality network perimeter security systems, announced today that it has attained Platinum Partner status with next-generation firewall provider Palo Alto Networks. Awarded to partners who facilitate significant sales and demonstrate extensive expertise, this new recognition identifies Digital Scepter as an authority on the provision of all Palo Alto Networks solutions.

“This level of partnership with Palo Alto Networks marks the next step in our ongoing relationship,” says Jon Robinson, Director at Digital Scepter. “Everybody at Digital Scepter firmly believes that Palo Alto Networks offers the best firewall solution, and that’s why we find ourselves recommending these products time and time again to our enterprise customers. People come to us for expertise and we knew very early on that Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall solutions were set to change the face of firewall protection.”

Palo Alto Networks has fixed the problems associated with traditional firewalls by combining three identification technologies that provide visibility and control over applications, users, and content. App-ID identifies exactly which applications are running on the network, as well as the associated risks, so administrators can deploy comprehensive application usage control policies for inbound and outbound traffic. User-ID integrates with enterprise directory services to link network activity to users and groups—not just IP addresses—for application visibility, policy creation, logging and reporting. Content-ID combines a real-time threat prevention engine with a comprehensive URL database to detect and block a wide range of threats, limit unauthorized transfer of files and data, and control non-work related Web surfing.

Digital Scepter’s new status as a Palo Alto Networks Platinum Partner marks the most recent step in an ongoing process of growth based on gaining expertise in how best to use Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. Digital Scepter has previously attained Accredited Configuration Engineer (ACE) status from Palo Alto Networks, certifying that the company has the relevant experience and expertise to implement any Palo Alto Networks solution. In addition, Digital Scepter currently holds Certified Network Security Engineer (CNSE) status, signifying the company’s deep, insightful understanding of the full Palo Alto Networks firewall range and making it a popular choice for consultancy and advice on the best firewall network design.

“Digital Scepter can provide customers with an overall, comprehensive service, and we have the certification to prove that we can do that every time,” says Robinson. “We have invested extensive resources into Palo Alto Networks protection, because we are completely confident that this is the firewall of the future. We are committed to giving our customers the highest quality products available, and as a result we continue to be committed to Palo Alto Networks firewalls.”

Digital Scepter has grown to become a leading reseller of perimeter protection technology because the company understands the threats of the technology world and is able to identify the best products to resolve these concerns. As a new Palo Alto Networks Platinum Partner, Digital Scepter is uniquely placed to remain a driving force behind the adoption of next-generation firewalls.

Customers who are interested in learning more about Digital Scepter’s range of quality network security solutions should visit digitalscepter.com for more details.

Founded in 2007, Digital Scepter is a leading California-based value added reseller (VAR) of network security systems including next generation firewall protection, web security systems, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).

GlowHost Announces Major Upgrades To Reseller Hosting Program

2011-12-01T14:35:00-05:00

Stuart, FL (Gawkwire) November 29, 2011 – GlowHost, a market leader in shared hosting, dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, and reseller web hosting, announced today a selection of new upgrades to its website reseller hosting solutions. The company has introduced new tools and content including video tutorials and a website template, all of which can be branded to match the needs of hosting resellers. These new features are designed to make it easier to start generating money online quicker.

“One of our ongoing goals at GlowHost is to offer the world’s best web hosting reseller program,” says Matt Lundstrom, President at GlowHost. “We already offer instant account setup and competitive resource allocations, but if our resellers are to make money online, they need help getting their web presence, marketing, and branding together as quickly as possible. Every one of our new reseller hosting features makes the process of launching your own hosting company faster.”

In order to help users get the best results from their reseller web hosting plans, GlowHost has introduced a number of new features to help with advertising and promotion. Perhaps the most impressive of these new tools is the launch of over 1000 video tutorials, covering a range of subjects that may be useful to end-users who sign up for a hosting account with resellers. Available in 10 languages, the impact of these tutorials is two-fold – they not only reduce customer support calls by educating end-users fully, but also help to build customer confidence with professional video content. These videos can be branded with a reseller’s own name and logo, helping to ensure continuity throughout each individual reseller web hosting account. Of course, web hosting resellers need somewhere to display these videos. GlowHost has also made available a professional pre-built website template, dramatically reducing the time to market.

“By using our new reseller web hosting plan tools, our resellers have the chance to get their business online with an authoritative, trustworthy presence,” says Lundstrom. “With just a few clicks, our customers can have a cPanel reseller account ready to go and the web presence they need to start drawing visitors. But we haven’t stopped there. We have also made it easier for reseller hosting users to offer better quality of service, by combining our video tutorials with some ‘behind the scenes changes’ that make administering your hosting company more streamlined. By offering better services, our web hosting resellers attract more customers and earn more money.”

To increase the efficiency of managing a reseller hosting account, GlowHost has introduced new features providing more flexibility in terms of billing. Resellers can now choose between ClientExec or WHMCS billing software, and also receive a special merchant account with free Authorize.net gateway setup and special discounted pricing for the hosting industry. These billing-specific features are largely invisible to the end users who purchase hosting from resellers, but help to reduce the time spent on managing accounts and to provide consistently better service throughout. In addition to the new range of features announced today, GlowHost still provides branded cPanel reseller account software, a free domain reseller account, and a free branded private name server.

“Before now, we offered everything you could need to set up a web hosting company of your own,” says Lundstrom. “We provided a quality reseller web hosting service with incredible network reliability, guaranteed uptime and a price-point that leaves plenty of room for resellers to make a profit. We have always been proud of our commitment to reseller hosting, but it wasn’t enough. Today, we don’t just give reseller hosting customers the chance to set up their company – we give them what they need to set it up today.”

Since the company was first formed in 2002, GlowHost has grown to become a leading provider of web hosting services, with reseller hosting services that give customers an opportunity to sell high quality hosting to their own clients. Now, with the launch of these powerful new reseller web hosting tools, it is easier and quicker than ever to start a web hosting company of your own.

Customers who are interested in finding out more about GlowHost’s cPanel reseller hosting program are encouraged to visit glowhost.com for more details.

Certified Hosting Upgrades Reseller Hosting Plans with Increased Resources

2011-11-25T14:04:00-05:00

Los Angeles, CA (Gawkwire) November 22, 2011 – Certified Hosting, a market leader in reseller hosting, shared hosting, and dedicated server hosting services, announced today a comprehensive overhaul of its popular reseller web hosting services. With increased system resources allocated to each reseller hosting plan and prices more affordable than ever, Certified Hosting helps hosting reseller customers start their own successful web hosting business.

“At Certified Hosting, we’ve always had a popular range of unlimited reseller hosting plans,” says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. “But we were not content with just being popular – we are determined to be the best. Looking at competing reseller hosting solutions from other providers, we are now confident that we offer the most generous disk space and bandwidth allocations at the most reasonable prices.”

Reseller hosting solutions have become popular among freelance designers or web developers looking to supplement their existing services with hosting, as well as with individuals who want to start their own web hosting business. In either case, there is a continued necessity to offer popular, high quality services with enough room to make a healthy profit. Certified Hosting now offers five distinct reseller hosting service levels, ranging from 50GB disk space and 500GB bandwidth all the way through to a 200GB disk space and 1500GB bandwidth plan. This means that Certified Hosting now provides an unlimited reseller web hosting service to suit customers of all sizes – those who are just starting out and those who are looking to offer high quality cPanel hosting to numerous demanding customers.

“We now offer extremely generous system resources starting as low as $19.95,” says Carlsen. “The immediate result is that every one of our reseller hosting plan customers can now generate more profit by hosting more accounts, or by establishing a higher price point for their services. Of course, this is useless if we limit the number of accounts that can be hosted on each reseller hosting service, or if we don’t include the features that end-users demand like high-level uptime and a reliable, easy to use control panel.”

In addition to the new improvements to Certified Hosting’s reseller web hosting solutions, the same professional-level features that made the service popular remain untouched. Certified Hosting provides cPanel, the world’s most popular web hosting control panel, which can be deployed for end-users and used to manage reseller accounts via Web Host Manager (WHM). In addition, Certified Hosting’s reseller web hosting plans include unlimited domains and unlimited accounts, maximizing the opportunities for revenue available to reseller hosting customers. Reseller web hosts can divide their allocation of resources however they want, making Certified Hosting’s unlimited reseller plans remarkably flexible and highly customizable.

“The simple truth is that we want to let our customers run their business the way they want to,” says Carlsen. “We provide a robust, reliable network, the most generous resources, unlimited domains, and unlimited accounts on each plan. Even better, we offer those features at the lowest prices around. That’s how every one of our reseller hosting customers can enjoy the independence they want to grow their business as they please.”

The world of reseller hosting is competitive, but by offering a truly unlimited reseller web hosting solution, Certified Hosting has grown to become a preferred choice among hosting resellers. Now, by matching – and then beating – the prices and features of competitors, Certified Hosting is set to hold its dominance and attract new resellers.

About Certified Hosting

Certified Hosting was established in 1999 as a Southern California based unlimited web hosting company to provide shared hosting, reseller hosting, and managed dedicated servers to Fortune 500 companies, small businesses and individuals throughout the world.

JaguarPC Launches iPad 2 Giveaway For Web Hosting Affiliates

2011-11-03T13:33:00-04:00

Fulshear, TX (Gawkwire) November 1, 2011 – JaguarPC, an experienced provider of shared hosting, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, and dedicated server hosting solutions, announced today a one-of-a-kind affiliate giveaway that rewards client referrals with the chance to win a brand new Apple iPad 2. One JaguarPC web hosting affiliate will be selected to receive the iPad 2 at the end of November, giving every affiliate an additional incentive to share information on JaguarPC’s services.

“We are incredibly excited to give our hosting affiliates the chance to win an iPad 2,” says Greg Landis, CEO at JaguarPC. “But we didn’t want to just draw somebody out of a hat. Instead, we’re using a system of proportional entries – for every referral that an affiliate sends our way between November 1^st and November 30th, we will give them one entry into the iPad 2 giveaway. That means the more proactive an affiliate is, the more chances they have to win a brand new iPad 2.”

The Apple iPad 2 is one of the most desirable pieces of technology in the world, offering a powerful tablet computing experience that is ideal for both work and play. Out of the box, iPad 2 comes equipped with iOS 5, the latest iteration of Apple’s award-winning mobile operating system, which includes intuitive multi-touch gestures and a range of useful software including Safari and iBooks. The iPad 2 also features an HD camera that, along with the included FaceTime software, gives users the opportunity to chat with any iOS user in the world. Naturally, with all these features and thousands of great applications just a few taps away, iPad 2 is at its best with plenty of storage. JaguarPC has selected the larger 32GB model for its affiliate giveaway with this in mind.

“When we decided we wanted to run a giveaway for our web hosting affiliates, we thought long and hard about the kind of prize that we would want,” says Landis. “An iPad 2 seemed like a great choice – but why give our winner the lowest specification model available? Our existing web hosting affiliate program members already know our reputation for giving generous payouts. Our choice of a 32GB iPad 2 is in-line with the high payouts we already offer, and we’re proud to say that one affiliate, new or existing, could potentially be the owner of an iPad 2 when we announce the winner on December 1st.”

The JaguarPC Affiliate Program rewards members for customer referrals using a tiered payout system – the more customers an affiliate brings to JaguarPC, the more money they can earn. For each of their first 5 referrals, affiliates earn $65, giving them the chance to start making money online quickly. However, the payout level increases dramatically when affiliates make a longer-term commitment to JaguarPC. For 6-10 referrals, affiliates receive $80 and any customer beyond the 10^th nets an astonishing $110 payout – one of the highest in the web hosting industry. By joining the JaguarPC Affiliate Program free of charge, affiliates can start earning money immediately and build a significant and regular income. The addition of an iPad 2 is sure to see JaguarPC’s dedicated team of affiliates work even harder over the next 4 weeks.

“Becoming a JaguarPC hosting affiliate is a great way to earn extra money online,” says Landis. “We’re confident that new hosting affiliate program members will see how easy it is to sell our VPS hosting or dedicated server hosting services and stick with us longer. Of course, moving into next year, we have new ideas and contests to give our affiliate network the treatment they deserve. JaguarPC web hosting affiliates helped us get to where we are today so we will always find new ways to give something back.”

JaguarPC’s 13 year growth as a web hosting industry leader has been in part due to the work of hosting affiliates and word of mouth advertising, but is also the result of the dependable hosting services and excellent customer support that JaguarPC consistently delivers. With the launch of such a generous giveaway along with high payout rates, there is more reason than ever to join the JaguarPC Affiliate Program today.

Customers who are interested in finding out more about JaguarPC’s Affiliate Program and the November iPad 2 Giveaway are encouraged to visit jaguarpc.com for more details and to get started as a hosting affiliate.

JaguarPC Expands Operations With 30% Increase In Staff

2011-10-28T13:31:00-04:00

Fulshear, TX (Gawkwire) October 26, 2011 – JaguarPC, one of the foremost providers of Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting and dedicated server hosting solutions, announced today the recruitment of new staff members across marketing, sales, customer service, and technical support. This new recruitment drive begins the process of expanding the company to meet ambitious new targets for marketing, sales, and service.

“In the 13 years that JaguarPC has been in business, we have seen continued growth that’s far exceeded our expectations,” says Greg Landis, CEO at JaguarPC. “We believe that our success in dedicated server hosting services, VPS hosting services, and shared web hosting services has been in part the result of our service range and also the result of investment in quality customer service. We owe our success to our customers and our experienced staff, and by recruiting new members of staff across the board we aim to sustain our service quality and build towards our future growth.”

JaguarPC began the complex process of recruiting the best available staff members with advertisements being distributed via a number of reputable job databases. In addition, the firm distributed job specifications for a number of posts on its own website, JaguarPC.com, which has recently undergone a design and content overhaul. From the multitude of responses that the company received, the management at JaguarPC shortlisted and ultimately selected 9 talented new staff members within a two week period. This represents a growth to the overall staff of the company by around 30%. Of these new additions to the JaguarPC family, more than half were recruited to bolster the company’s already impressive customer service and technical support divisions, ensuring that customers continue to see the benefits of expansion.

“Sometimes, a hosting company experiences our kind of success but the service quality of existing customers suffers,” says Landis. “There simply aren’t enough resources to deal with the increase in demand for help with sales, technical support, and customer care. That’s why, as part of our long-term strategy, we are employing vital staff in the areas of the business where resources might sometimes be stretched. This means that every single one of our customers, existing and new alike, enjoy the same excellence in service and support that they have come to expect from JaguarPC.”

In addition to working to increase staff across the customer-facing side of the business, JaguarPC has now employed its first-ever dedicated sales and marketing team. These new members of staff have proven track records in working to promote companies, securing their ongoing growth, increased turnover, and ultimately a better ability to offer customers outstanding services. This division is responsible for the securing of new customers and developing mid-to-long-term marketing strategies. The new Sales & Marketing Division is complemented by staff who have been given the role of managing and promoting JaguarPC’s rapidly developing hosting affiliate scheme, where the company offers competitive cash rewards for referring new customers to JaguarPC’s shared hosting, dedicated server hosting, VPS hosting, or hybrid hosting services. JaguarPC hopes that the increased financial commitment into these two areas of the business will help the company sustain its position as a market leader within the hosting industry.

“Naturally, we want to attract as many new customers as possible,” says Landis. “But we were unwilling to do that at any cost to our existing customers. Take our Affiliate Program as an example – I’ve personally wanted to develop that side of the business for a long time, but just haven’t had the resources to do so. Today, with increased staff committed to different areas of the business, we can confidently move forward with attracting new clients, while maintaining quality of service across the board. This 30% growth is just the start of our plan and, by the end of 2011, we will be looking to increase staff levels by at least another 50%.”

JaguarPC has clearly established a plan, based on how future growth will occur – before staff resources become stretched, those resources are increased to meet the potential demand. Customers who would like to find out more about JaguarPC’s range of reliable and powerful hosting services - and individuals who are considering joining the JaguarPC team – are encouraged to visit JaguarPC.com for more details.

Certified Hosting Announces 1-Click GlobalSign SSL Provisioning On All Hosting Accounts

2011-10-26T04:28:00-04:00

Los Angeles, CA (Gawkwire) October 24, 2011 – Certified Hosting, a specialist in shared web hosting, dedicated server hosting, and reseller hosting services, announced today the implementation of 1-Click GlobalSign SSL certificate provisioning available immediately through customer’s cPanel control panel software. By introducing this quick and easy method of obtaining security certificates, Certified Hosting demonstrates an ongoing commitment to Internet security, making it easier than ever for customers to offer robust and protected payment methods.

“With more and more customers turning to the online marketplace to purchase products and services, security is of upmost importance,” says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. “Simply put, if you want to make money online, you need professional-level security in order to gain the trust of potential customers. We have been working to make GlobalSign SSL certificates available on-demand across all our unlimited web hosting plans, and are delighted to announce that customers can now source their certificates with just one click.”

SSL certificates are an industry standard in online security, used to reassure customers the authenticity and reliability of a vendor. In order to minimize the risk of data breach as private and personal details are transmitted from customers to servers, a secure, encrypted channel is opened, known as a Secure Socket Layer. An SSL certificate identifies those companies who make use of this specific data transfer method, containing domain names, owner or business names, and contact details to ensure full accountability and transparency in the event of data loss. While most customers looking to buy online will have little to no understanding of what SSL is or how this technology works, many of them routinely check for a “https://” domain prefix or padlock symbol before proceeding with payment.

“More than anything, SSL is about customer reassurance,” says Carlsen. “If a customer is going to make a purchase from you online, you need to remove every potential obstacle or cause for concern. People do not buy things when they are worried about the safety of their data – they go to a competitor who has the necessary certification in place. Our dedicated server hosting, shared hosting, and even tube site hosting users all need GlobalSign certificates to do business and increase revenue.”

Many firms who claim to offer secure web hosting or SSL web hosting use manual methods of distributing SSL certificates, which can result in long wait times for provision if demand is particularly high. In the meantime, businesses could miss thousands of potential customers as website visitors turn to more trusted competitors. Certified Hosting’s new automated method of deploying SSL certificates means that customers can obtain the certification they require in minutes, not hours, enabling them to begin processing payments almost immediately. The SSL certificates issued as part of Certified Hosting’s 1-Click service are provided by market leader GlobalSign for customers’complete peace of mind, confidence, and to dramatically increase sales.

“At Certified Hosting, we want to see our customers succeed,” says Carlsen. “We want every customer, from shared hosting to comprehensive dedicated server hosting customers, to become the best, most successful business they can be. At the end of the day, we want our customers to make money, and our automated provisioning of GlobalSign SSL licenses will help them to do that on their own terms, without waiting for us to fulfill their orders. Our customers can remain focused on growing their business, and we can remain focused on delivering reliable and consistently responsive unlimited web hosting.”

Since 1999, Certified Hosting has grown to become a leading web hosting provider by making the entire process of order placement and fulfillment effortless. Now, with the introduction of one-click GlobalSign SSL certificate provisioning, Certified Hosting is set to continue impressive growth.

WiredTree Announces Upgrades To Dedicated Server Product Line

2011-10-04T20:32:00-04:00

Chicago, IL (Gawkwire) October 3, 2011 – WiredTree, a specialist in managed dedicated server hosting, managed virtual private server (VPS) hosting, and managed hybrid servers, announced today a range of impressive new hardware upgrades to the company’s dedicated server offering. These new upgrades dramatically improve the power and reliability of hardware, guaranteeing that customers can configure the managed server solution that meets their individual needs.

“This is a comprehensive update to our entire dedicated server hosting range,” says Zac Cogswell, President of WiredTree. “Our intention was to examine every element of our dedicated server hardware and identify the areas where new technology, only recently made available, could further improve the service we offer. The new components that we now offer include improvements to CPU and storage, as well as service options such as R1Soft CDP backups. We are confident that, together, these new features make our managed dedicated server solutions better than ever.”

Managed dedicated hosting plans from WiredTree are enjoyed by customers who need a great deal of processing power, consistent server reliability, and a secure place to store sensitive and mission critical data. WiredTree regularly upgrades and updates their hardware selection, enabling customers to scale up their existing accounts to new specification as well as attracting new customers who require a truly state-of-the-art solution. Now, customers can choose from a selection of the latest CPUs, including the E3-1230 and E3-1270 ‘Sandy Bridge’ series Intel processors. For customers requiring a Dual Xeon server, WiredTree can now deploy servers with the latest Westmere Xeon CPUs and dual hex-core Intel processors with 12 CPU cores for incredible speed and processing power.

“With a dedicated server hosting plan, customers are looking for the fastest processors in the industry,” says Cogswell. “This guarantees a highly responsive service at all times, regardless of the stress on the server as a result of increased traffic volumes. Our new CPUs are among the best that are currently available on the market and this is an area that we remain focused on when we look at any plan and update our server options. Of course, as a business grows to require such powerful processors, they are sure to need a storage solution on a similar scale. That is why we have also looked at storage as the other key area for this update.”

WiredTree managed dedicated servers are configurable with lightning-fast solid state drives (SSD) in addition to more conventional hard disk drives (HDD/HD) for larger quantities of data. In terms of SSD options, WiredTree now offers Intel’s 320 SSD line, and also has plans to provide the Intel 7XX series as soon as the hardware is released. These solid-state solutions ensure that customers using the fastest of CPUs have a storage solution that can take advantage of the overall server speed. For larger quantities of data, customers can also use conventional hard disks. Customers can choose Western Digital Caviar Black or RAID Edition 4 (RE4) hard disks, as well as 6-series Adaptec RAID cards for when redundant data storage is required.

“Overall, we are very satisfied with this range of updates to our managed dedicated server hardware and we are confident that customers will feel the same way,” says Cogswell. “We’ve taken a comprehensive attitude to this process and even gone so far as to complement the new hardware options with software including R1Soft CDP backups. Together, this large array of improvements will help us provide more flexibility for existing customers and new customers alike.”

Since 2006, WiredTree has grown to become a leading figure in the managed dedicated server hosting industry, thanks to dependable, high-performance hardware offered on quality SuperMicro motherboards and chassis. Now, with these new updates to an already impressive service range, the company is set to continue its impressive growth as it moves forward.
