Hosting.com, the leading provider of managed hosting, cloud hosting and colocation solutions and a strategic VMware vCloud(TM) partner, today announced multiple enhancements to the Cloud Enterprise environment driven by significant market demand. Access to high performance SAN (EMC) storage, increased computer resources (8GB of RAM now 32 and 4vCPU now 
and support for seven additional operating systems (including RedHat and Windows Datacenter 2008 R2) highlight the enhancements.
Cloud Enterprise customers can now increase their virtual machine resources to 32 GB of RAM and 8 virtual CPUs via the Hosting.com portal. Companies deploying demanding applications can use Hosting.com’s secure cloud solutions for their test, development and production needs.
In addition, Cloud Enterprise customers pushing upper disk i/o rates have the ability to move data to high performance storage on Hosting.com’s EMC SAN. SAN storage is ideal for customers seeking security, functionality and enterprise-class reliability from the latest storage technologies at mid-market prices.
“Our cloud solutions are frequently used to host robust applications, databases and web servers that require additional resources and storage,” noted Hosting.com Cloud Product Manager Fred Strelzoff. “Increasingly, Hosting.com clients want to migrate their dedicated hosting or colocation solutions into a cloud hosting environment. The support of nine total operating systems eliminates the need to migrate operating systems and makes the migration process less costly and painful.”
Last week, Hosting.com announced VMware Virtual Machine upload availability for customers to migrate their own virtual machines or VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk Format) files to Hosting.com’s Cloud Enterprise and Cloud Dedicated solutions. Customers now have the flexibility and portability to move their virtual machines, either from their own environment or another host, into one of Hosting.com’s Cloud Super Sites.

Cloud VPS,
Hosting.com, the first name in global managed hosting and colocation solutions, today announced that it is launching Cloud VPS, an enhanced version of its prior virtual private server (VPS) solutions. The new solution will provide customers with unprecedented elasticity and control of their VPS environments. Cloud VPS will be hypervisor-based, making the virtual machines independent from one another — a feature unavailable in most container-based VPS solutions.
Cloud VPS will provide customers with high availability, scalability and flexibility inherent to cloud infrastructures. Customers will have the ability to grow and easily migrate their Cloud VPS solutions to the more robust Cloud Enterprise and Cloud Dedicated solutions offered by Hosting.com. The company selected the VMware vSphere software to build this new cloud infrastructure. Hosting.com is in the process of moving all existing VPS clients to the Cloud VPS infrastructure.
“Hosting.com made the decision to move away from a container-based VPS platform to provide more flexibility and control from our customers,” noted Matt Ferrari, Hosting.com Director of Infrastructure Services. “Customer feedback and requests for a more dynamic offering that could easily scale or be migrated directly lead to the development of Cloud VPS.”
The transition to a cloud infrastructure allows Hosting.com to provide Cloud VPS at a reduced cost than traditional VPS solutions and provide clients with additional resources. The base package for the prior .Net VPS solution ($89.00/month) from Hosting.com provided 512 MB RAM, 10 GB of Virtual Disk Space, and 400 GB of monthly transfer. For $80.00/month, Cloud VPS will provide the same amount of RAM, 30 GB of Virtual Disk Space and 500 GB of monthly transfer.
Cloud VPS hosting plans are available for both Microsoft Windows and Linux at a fixed, monthly cost and can be customized based on a customer’s unique needs for space, bandwidth, and data management tools. Each plan includes preinstalled software, including ASP.NET, Adobe ColdFusion, and SQL Server on Windows and PHP, Perl, and MySQL on Linux. Additionally, Cloud VPS plans feature daily backups, 24×7x365 expert technical support, and a 100% network uptime guarantee.
“Cloud VPS will introduce many companies to cloud hosting due to its performance, functionality and pricing,” commented Fred Strelzoff, Hosting.com Cloud Product Manager. “Cloud hosting has become a viable alternative to managed and dedicated hosting — similarly, we believe Cloud VPS will change the expectations of VPS consumers.”
Hosting.com has also changed the name of its Cloud Private solution to Cloud Dedicated to more accurately describe the solution provided to customers — a single-tenant, clustered hardware environment. Private solutions are available on both Cloud Enterprise and Cloud Dedicated.

Hosting.com will occupy a historic Ford Model T factory retrofitted to their specifications for the expansion. The location takes advantage of a strong network topology, multiple power grids, and close proximity to fully redundant fiber feeds from Tier 1 providers. The datacenter will incorporate Hosting.com Smart Design Standards and provide up to 10 Gb/sec of redundant connectivity for bandwidth routing optimization as well as 200 watts/sq ft of power and cooling. It will be the only datacenter of its kind in downtown Denver.
Hosting.com, the first name in managed hosting and colocation solutions, today announced that it is expanding by opening a 30,000 square foot datacenter and 13,000 square foot corporate complex in the Denver metro area in late August. Company owners Art Zeile and Joel Daly have operated three successful high-tech firms, all headquartered in Denver, including InFlow, Inc., sold to Sungard in 2005.
The demand for secure, reliable colocation space in Denver continues to outpace availability. Art Zeile, Hosting.com CEO, commented, “We are excited to serve a very large need in Denver with this new datacenter. Colocation space with our high level of service and support is absent from downtown.” He continued, “We will grow aggressively over the next 24 months through a national platform of managed and secure services; we are excited that Denver is at the center of our growth.”
In addition to hosting and colocation services, the new facility will support Hosting.com’s new cloud hosting platforms, Cloud Enterprise and Cloud Private. Hosting.com currently operates SAS 70 Type II certified datacenters in Irvine, CA; Louisville, KY; Newark, DE; and San Francisco, CA. Hosting.com’s cloud and virtualization solutions coupled with a geographically dispersed datacenter network allows their clients to take full advantage of their services for redundancy, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery solutions for their Web enabled businesses and technology infrastructure.
Joel Daly, Hosting.com COO, noted, “By operating five datacenters from coast to coast, we provide our clients with unparalleled solution and service options. Our business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) enhancements will provide clients with cost-effective means to achieve and test true disaster recovery and fault tolerance.”For more information on colocation space for custom-build or suite-arrangement options, contact the datacenter’s General Manager Mike Fontaine at: MFontaine@Hosting.com, 866-702-7281, or Schedule a Tour online.
