Archive for November, 2009 LimeLabs Launches Free Hosting and Domain Registration Service LimeLabs today announced the launch of its new hosting and domain registration service, LimeDomains. An ICANN accredited domain registrar, LimeDomains offers a wide range of hosting solutions, ranging from completely free full-featured websites, to competitively priced premium hosting plans that include more space, bandwidth and the ability to manage several domains and websites from a single account. “LimeDomains makes it easy for people to get powerful websites running quickly and easily,” said Mark Gorton, Founder of LimeLabs. “LimeDomains offers free hosting and free application installation, and we are finding that many people appreciate the great value we are offering.” All LimeDomains accounts come with access to an extensive catalog of open source web applications ranging from popular blogs such as Wordpress, to full-featured content management systems such as Drupal and Joomla. Users can also upload their own files or transfer their existing websites — such as their Geocities pages — to LimeDomains via a built-in file manager, or any popular FTP client. Most popular web design applications, such as Adobe Dreamweaver, are also supported. Unlike other free hosting services, there are no strings attached to the free hosting offer on LimeDomains. Users do not have to sign-up for any third party services, or submit themselves to a barrage of solicitations (e-mail, or otherwise), or place mandatory ads on their website. Most importantly, the free accounts are not crippled in any way — and receive the same quality of service, performance and reliability that most other hosting services charge a premium for. “We are excited to be first to market with a credible, full-featured free website solution,” said John Enright, VP Marketing & Business Development at LimeLabs. “Our feature set and customer experience is already well ahead of any other hosting service — free or otherwise — and this is just the beginning.” About Lime Labs, LLC Lime Labs is an innovative web services company focused on facilitating the exchange of ideas and information through technology. Its portfolio of services includes LimeExchange, a global services marketplace; LimeDomains, a web hosting and domain registration service; and LimeBits, an open source code sharing community.

Host4Yourself.com, the primary brand of H4Y Technologies, focuses on development, enterprise class and mission critical managed hosting, dedicated servers, and colocation, while iWebFusion.net has made a successful name for itself based on its economical shared, reseller, and VPS product lines. Evan Kamlet, LLC Member of H4Y Technologies, said, “As if Host4Yourself.com didn’t already offer a huge range of options to our clients, the purchase of iWebFusion.net should make us attractive to just about every conceivable consumer and business. With the resources and capital on tap at H4Y, we foresee a very rosy picture for iWebFusion.net in the coming months and years. It is very exciting for all of us”. iWebFusion.net’s staff, billing, and structure will not change. Existing customers will encounter no ill effects as no equipment will be moved. A portion of iWebFusion.net’s equipment was already under the ownership of H4Y Technologies LLC before the acquisition. It is still up for debate whether the pricing model will remain unchanged, but clients have been guaranteed that existing accounts will never increase in price, nor will future sign-ups for clients with existing accounts. H4Y also worked out a partnership arrangement with USSHC (United States Secure Hosting Center) in Monticello, IA. The underground bomb and EMP resistant datacenter boasts its status as “the most secure datacenter in the United States”. iWebFusion VPS nodes and dedicated servers currently occupy a small portion of datacenter space at this facility. The existing infrastructure will not change, but H4Y Technologies will add to it and offer Host4Yourself.com customers a new line of mission-critical hosting products based on this new partnership. Host4Yourself.com already offered a linear upgrade path for its clientele. With this acquisition, the entry level for prospective clients is lower than ever before and the scalability options are nearly unlimited with products and plans at nearly every imaginable price point.

Because the arena’s website is anticipated to draw much heavier web traffic this year, the Cavaliers selected Hosted Solutions in an effort to increase the availability and robustness of theQarena.com. Reasons for increased traffic include: – The team and arena recently launched their own single-game primary and secondary market ticket sales service with Veritix – the industry’s most cutting edge digital ticketing, event marketing and relationship management platform. The public is directed to theQarena.com to purchase tickets to all Quicken Loans Arena events including the Cavaliers and AHL Lake Erie Monsters. – The Cavaliers begin their 40th season with a powerful team of proven players and high expectations and projected record attendance (The Cavs set two franchise records during the 2008-09 season with an average attendance of 20,512 and the number of sellouts – 38 total.) – The Q now heads into an entertainment season with a jam-packed schedule of special events expected to generate record website traffic levels. Stratus Trusted Cloud provides the availability needed to handle spikes in traffic at any time. “The upcoming year is sized up to be ‘XL’ in every way, including our fans’ interest in tickets to see the Cavaliers, Lake Erie Monsters, concerts, special events, and family shows,” said Jeff Lillibridge, Web Services Director. “We feel the scalability and dependability of Hosted Solutions’ Stratus Trusted Cloud is a perfect match to support our needs, which in turn allows us to provide our fans the level of service they deserve.” Introduced earlier this year, Stratus Trusted Cloud dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications for small and mid-sized enterprises. Stratus offers a massively scalable, multi-tenant infrastructure that enables customers to access a secure, enterprise-class cloud environment with built-in high availability and automated resource balancing. As a result, businesses can move faster without compromising availability or security and significantly reduce both their capital and operating expenditures, whether Stratus is deployed on an enterprise, private or hybrid cloud basis. Moreover, Stratus is designed to provide an added level of assurance to companies that their data and entire infrastructure is being administered in a trusted manner, acting in accordance with a full range of governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) regulations. “The demand for an ‘always on’ IT environment is not unique to the Cleveland Cavaliers,” said Rich Lee, Hosted Solutions’ founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Any company doing business online requires the highest degree of reliability; even a short amount of downtime in this competitive economy can hurt significantly. The Cavaliers’ decision to deploy the Stratus Trusted Cloud for their arena website confirms its value for firms seeking a reliable, consistent and secure approach to ensuring that their website is up and running when they, and their customers, need it most.” Lee added that several other companies have chosen the Stratus Trusted Cloud in the last several months. He noted that 80 percent of Hosted Solutions’ clients run their production environments through his firm, a further testament to the superior level of performance delivered by the Hosted Solutions team.
