Portland, Oregon - (The Hosting News) - July 25, 2008 - The R1Soft Hosting Partner Program, designed as a value-added partnership opportunity to enable more effective deployment of Continuous Data Protection backup, welcomes Opus Interactive.

Opus Interactive, as a member of the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program, will receive a variety of sales and marketing resources from R1Soft, as well as priority technical support and access to new software updates before they become available to the general public. Opus Interactive will provide Continuous Data Protection as a premium value-added service to its Dedicated Hosting customers, using Windows, Linux or FreeBSD operating systems. Pricing starts at $5/monthly per protected gigabyte of data, plus an initial setup fee.

Jeremy Sherwood, Executive at Opus Interactive Business Solutions noted, ''R1Soft's data protection solution has helped us solve several problems created by our previous system and allows us to more affordably offer a very robust solution to our Dedicated Hosting customers. We have been especially impressed by the flexibility of R1Soft’s solution and the scalability across a variety of platforms and server environments. It it's a natural fit for our business model and we look forward to full implementation.''

Continuous Data Protection is unique in its ability to provide near-Continuous data protection that virtually eliminates the lag time between restore points. With traditional backup technology, there is a delay - hours, days or even weeks between restore points, resulting in significant data loss in the event of a disaster. But with Continuous Data Protection, data is protected around the clock. With but a minimal impact on server resources, Continuous Data Protection is an ideal solution for even busy servers.

David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft division, BBS Technologies Inc. remarked, ''Opus Interactive is an ideal partner to implement our data protection technology. By combining its world-class infrastructure with our solution, Opus Interactive is able to deliver on its promise to offer mission-critical hosting solutions for businesses of all sizes.''

According to the company, high traffic Web sites will see the greatest benefit from the introduction of Litespeed, as the platform handles much greater traffic while reducing overall server load. The reduction in resource consumption allows intensive applications and services to be run alongside the Litespeed on the same server.

John Quaglieri, Chief Technical Officer at InterServer remarked, ''The Litespeed Web server offers an array of key features and enhancements that have never been available with Apache, the most commonly used web server. We have seen a real value in Litespeed and have seen excellent results from clients who have already adopted the solution independently. We are rolling out Litespeed dedicated servers today in an effort to provide existing and prospective clients with a robust alternative to Apache.''

Server administrators will also enjoy Litespeed's simple and intuitive installation process. Once installed, Litespeed immediately boosts performance - including the ability to handle more simultaneous connections and a 50% increase in PHP performance. Litespeed also comes built with protection against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, a common attack used to virtually paralyze servers. Litespeed is compatible with cPanel and DirectAdmin, and uses Apache-compatible htaccess, mod_rewrite, and httpd.conf

Litespeed dedicated servers with cPanel start at $160/monthly, which includes an Intel Core2Duo 2.66Ghz processor, 2GB DDR2 Memory, a 250GB SATA hard drive, and 2000GB of monthly data transfer.

InterServer, Inc. is a privately held web solutions provider operating since April 1999. Located in Secaucus, N.J., the company's datacenter is less than 12 miles from New York City and Newark, New Jersey. InterServer's network is powered by Cisco 6500 SUP720 routers connected to the Internet by paths to New York City and London.

Robert Cichon, President and Chief Operating Officer of Newtek Technology Services noted, ''As one of the first web hosts to offer Microsoft Windows Server 2008 earlier this year, CrystalTech has had the opportunity to test Hyper-V in a dedicated environment for several months now.

London, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - July 24, 2008 - British web hosting company, and high bandwidth dedicated hosting provider, UK-2 Group, has reported successful first and second quarter results, with above target performance.

Ditlev Bredahl, Managing Director and CEO of UK2 noted, ''We were extremely pleased with our Quarter 1 results, but are even happier to have continued the strong performance throughout Quarter 2, making 2008 one of our best years so far. We have made significant changes within UK2 over the past few years, which in turn have generated significant rewards. We have really enhanced our support, strengthened our network, launched an amazing portfolio of products and have kept our prices competitive. Underpinning all of this is a team of dedicated UK2 employees, who promise to 'Bend Over Backwards' to help all our customers.''

UK2.net has been a significant player in the British and European hosting markets since 1998, and is the founder brand of the UK-2 Group. UK2.net underwent a large organisational and strategic restructure in 2006 when the new Management Team came on board. A three year strategy was set out that time, starting with 2006 being a clean up year where the focus was on getting the basics right and establishing a sold foundation for the future. Then 2007 was the rollout year, where UK2's marketing activities kicked in along with exciting changes to the portfolio and considerable investment into the organisation. Finally 2008 is the consolidation year, where UK2 as planned, is maturing into a successful, dominant hosting company growing organically and through acquisitions, and plans and strategies for future success are being conceived.
