NetHosting Releases Cloud Virtual Hosting

NetHosting, a leading provider of Cloud, Dedicated Hosting, VPS Server, and Cloud Virtual Hosting solutions, has recently released an updated version of its Virtual Hosting offering.

NetHosting’s newly released Cloud Virtual Hosting product integrates the security benefits of cPanel, R1Soft Remote Backup, and CloudLinux while offering unlimited bandwidth and disk storage at minimal cost.

“Cloud Virtual Hosting takes a familiar product and brings it up to par with the most robust, dependable service offerings out there,” stated Joe Seegmiller, Hosting Services Manager at NetHosting. “The only thing that doesn’t change is the cost.”

NetHosting CEO, Lane Livingston, explained the greatest difference between NetHosting’s previous Virtual Hosting product and its new offering. “The CloudLinux integration is probably the greatest enhancement to this product,” said Mr. Livingston. “Top that off with upgrades like unlimited bandwidth and disk storage, as well as R1Soft remote backup, and Cloud Virtual Hosting is extremely hard to beat as an option for the majority of website owners.”

With CloudLinux integration, current Virtual Hosting customers can eliminate one of the greatest challenges faced in a shared hosting environment: overtaxed resources and distributed downtime. Where one tenant’s traffic spike used to mean inevitable downtime for other tenants hosted on the same server, CloudLinux isolates tenants in Lightweight Virtualized Environments to restrict usage of resources to a predefined space.

“The danger of downtime caused by a single tenant’s over-usage of resources becomes nonexistent,” finished Mr. Livingston, “and with integrated R1Soft backup, so does the worry of data loss.”

Google to offer free website hosting for SMEs

Global internet giant Google on Wednesday launched a new initiative in the country under which it will offer free website hosting to 5 lakh small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the next three years, helping them create an online presence for business opportunities.

“India is home to an estimated 80 lakh small medium businesses, but only about 4 lakh have an online presence.”This program is designed to bridge the information gap that exists online due to the lack of presence of local Indian businesses on the Internet,” Google India MD and Vice-President (Sales and Operations) Rajan Anandan told reporters here.

Called the ‘India Get Your Business Online’ initiative, this initiative will offer a quick, easy and free tool to set up and host a website.   Google has partnered website hosting company HostGator, ICICI Bank and Federation of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (FISME) for the initiative.

The company runs similar programmes across other countries like the US, the UK, Australia and Italy. “Our goal is to help 5 lakh small medium businesses in India to get online in next three years through this programme,” Google Sevior Vice-President and Chief Business Officer Nikesh Arora said.

Under the programme, businesses would get a free .in domain, web hosting services, email and chat support, solutions like analytics and other advertising related benefits free for the first year.     After a year, website owners will have to pay a charge depending on the services they opt for if they wish to renew their domain name.

Companies would need to submit their PAN (Permanent Account Number) and other tax-related details for verification, after which they would be provided with an online tool for a free website and web hosting service for one year.

“It will take 15 minutes from sitting down to being found online. Businesses often believe that getting online is too complex, costly and time-consuming, which prevents them from building an online presence. We want to change the perspective through this initiative,” Anandan said.

Anandan said creating a website would cost about USD 100 (Rs 5,000) but it is concerns like who would manage the website and complexities involved that kept many SMEs away. “We are trying to make sure that there is a large ecosystem. Users coming online seek information and we are looking at helping people find utility in being online,” Arora said.

Businesses are setting aside funds from their IT security budgets to ease the migration to cloud hosting services, it has been reported.

Research conducted by consultancy firm Ernst & Young reveals that cloud hosting services is the number one IT security funding priority for the coming 12 months.

The study indicated that many organisations are still unclear of the implications of cloud hosting services, and are increasing their efforts to better understand the impact of its adoption and the risks.

Some 48 per cent of respondents listed the implementation of cloud hosting services as a ‘difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ challenge, and more than half have not implemented any controls to mitigate the risks.

The most frequently taken measure is stronger oversight on the contract management process with cloud hosting services providers, Ernst & Young revealed.

Jane Cannon, security and resilience partner at the firm, said IT security needs to be more visible in the boardroom – across all areas, not merely cloud hosting services.

She urged companies to establish a clearly defined strategy that will support the business in the cloud and elsewhere.

“Most companies still have a long way to go to make this a reality,” she stated. “In order to effectively manage IT risks in general, organisations need to get a broad and comprehensive view of the entire IT risk landscape.”
