InMotion Hosting Announces Improved Dedicated Hosting With SSDs

InMotion Hosting has announced upgraded SSDs, exclusive 2TB backups, and zero downtime kernal updates now on their Dedicated Server products

Culver City, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2015

InMotion Hosting, a web hosting company coveted for its hosting products and award winning customer support, has recently announced a series of upgrades to their dedicated server plans, including free solid-state drives (SSDs), up to 2 TB of data backups, and zero downtime kernel updates on their Dedicated Server Hosting plans.

Already providers of industry-leading web hosting at the business hosting level, InMotion Hosting now turns its focus in providing the best technology to dedicated server hosting as well. SSD hosting available to all Advanced, Elite, and the Commercial Class servers for InMotion Hosting customers means websites will run at immensely faster speeds, far greater than even the fastest websites running on traditional spinning hard disks. Customers choosing the top-tier plans from InMotion Hosting will also enjoy free cPanel and WHM access, industry leading RAID technology, and premium monthly transfers that guarantee a website's uptime. All plans are backed by InMotion Hosting's award-winning customer service.

An added bonus to the Advanced and Elite plans of InMotion Hosting's dedicated servers is the choice between what hard-drive a user's servers will run on – at no extra charge; compared to other web hosting providers that charge a premium for a similar option. Users who purchase a Dedicated 'Elite' server also get an industry exclusive data backup drive of up to 2 TB – again at no added cost to the user.

"We're extremely excited about the new features of our dedicated servers hosting," said Todd Robinson, CEO of InMotion Hosting. "Hardware upgrades like SSDs allow for the continuation of our web servers to be ranked as some of the fastest you can host on anywhere – and we provide them free to our customers. The tools and features we offer make our platform unparalleled for web developers. Our new features are going to help everyone from the blog turned online-periodical, to businesses looking to take their websites to a higher level of speed and service. We will deliver the best, so that our customers can use the best; all at the fairest prices in the industry."

Cyber Security and Web Hosting: How Safe is Your Data?

Cyber security is a rising concern - a fact made evident by the announcement of Google's latest service, a feature in its Cloud Platform services to lock up your computer engine data with encryption keys, this past Tuesday, July 28th. Indeed, Google is not alone in this venture, as Amazon offers a similar encryption service for its CloudHSM host, and Microsoft offers Key Vault. The growing implementation of security features points to the growing concern for this need for security.

Interestingly enough, most of the concerns that caused these encryption developments have less to do with hackers and cybercriminals, and more to do with total privacy of data and information. This stems from protecting sensitive information and extends to protecting business operations against abusive and often futile lawsuits. The majority of websites can be protected against cybercriminal activity with the implementation of secure coding principles, updating secure server software, and encrypting sensitive information. There is another risk that looms larger than getting hacked these days however, and it is actually within the legal realm, not the illegal one.

Country Specific Legal Concerns

Google's new encryption key offer is actually meant to offer businesses a peace of mind that Google itself is not looking into their personal data and vital information. Why, you may ask, would a business need to ensure privacy even from its hosting provider?

One such imposition that companies are trying to sidestep is jurisdictional laws that hinder free speech and business operations. Within the U.S., for example, which operates under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), individuals and organizations can request that web content be removed for any reason that may "violate" their copyright. These legal requests are DMCA takedown notices. The problem is that strict laws like these tend to hinder as much as they are meant to help, and in 2009 Google announced that "57% of the takedown notices it received were from businesses targeting competitors. Worse still, 37% of the notices were not even valid claims."

In order to deviate around these menacing legal obstacles, companies and publications are turning to hosting their data on offshore servers. If a server is located outside of the country that the website is based in, the jurisdictional laws of that country do not apply to the content of this website and therefore cannot be banned or taken down by governing officials. With an offshore webhosting service such as Host1Plus, under an anonymous account, a website owner has peace of mind that his or her identity and information will not be exposed or threatened. He or she also receives an unimpeded channel through which to engage in uncensored free speech and ensure that business operations are unhindered.

It is important to note, however, that '.com,' '.net,' '.org,' '.co,' or '.us' domains are subject to US laws regardless of where your server is based, so it is also important to choose a web domain as well as host provider that is free of jurisdictional abuses.

Some Offshore Hosting Concerns

Of course, like anything, you need to be careful with choosing an offshore host as well. Since privacy laws are different in each country, you need to ultimately choose a company that includes privacy obligations in the contract agreement. You should also thoroughly look into your hosting provider to gauge their security technology as well as their policies and procedures, right down to employee awareness, training, and the company's screening process before hiring. And finally, you should take the extra measures to encrypt your data, ensuring that even the service provider cannot see it, coming full-circle back to Google's encryption service.

In Summary

It is important to consider hosting options very closely, regardless of whether they are onshore or offshore. While the topic may not be the most glamorous, your data is the heart and soul of your business and needs to be protected at all costs, from hackers and from lawyer-slinging competition.

Web Hosting or Cloud Hosting – How to Choose the Best | @CloudExpo #Cloud

When moving towards a cloud environment, organizations – both large and small – have a lot of choices to make. There are a lot of vendors out there who are "capable" of hosting information, websites or other workloads directly in the cloud. However, remember that not all cloud providers are created equally. Cloud providers are able to offer more and more services as they grow their own underlying infrastructure. As an organization, you have the option of selecting the right partner with the right set of tools to support your business and its growth.

In working with the right type of model, it's important to understand what your needs are and what your growth plans will be. That means analyzing your infrastructure, determining your cloud/Internet presence, and deploying a platform which will support it. In selecting the right type of cloud provider, remember to look for a partner, rather than just someone who is trying to sell you a package. Although many can offer a cloud hosting solution, options to look for can certainly vary.

  • The largest, and many times most successful, cloud providers will always offer some sort of flexible deployment, implementation, or customized support options. This means that creating a custom page or, some type of custom service isn't an issue. Working with a flexible partner may mean paying a bit of premium – but in many cases this is a needed part of the design and development process.
  • "Pay-as-you-grow." One of the most overlooked features is the ability for a customer to adopt a flexible "pay-as-you-grow" model. Above and beyond just working with a flexible partner, this agile system allows an organization to add additional resources to a cloud hosting option as needed. Furthermore, you can rapidly provision and even de-provision resources as needed. This is great for seasonal businesses like travel sites or some online retail organizations.
  • Customization capabilities. Although many cloud hosting providers offer set packages and even templates to work off of – there may still need to be an element of customization. Whether that means adding additional storage to a particular service or the coding of a new tool within the cloud environment, organizations need to look for partners who offer this type of customization. Why? Very often, cookie-cutter approaches don't always work. So where other solutions may offer you great templates to work with; they're not always very customizable.
  • Support options.For smaller organizations, their cloud presence is their entire business. Because of this, make sure you find the right type of partner offering the appropriate level of support. Some other, less expensive, options offer support but only via email or forums. This can work for large organizations that have the manpower to control their cloud environment. But, for smaller shops, 24/7 cloud support may be a constant need. If your cloud-based site can't sustain prolonged downtime, make sure you have the right support options in place.
  • Here is a citation of a Web Hosting network, i.e., DigitalBerg. DigitalBerg powers apps, websites, emails and lot more for a huge number of customers around the world. Their customer base is diverse, extending from bloggers and freelancers to organizations and big multinational corporations.

    They comprehend how critical consistent web hosting is to your success and that's why they provide various product and service options, proficient leading innovations, and also a responsive professional support team who're always available for you 24/7.
