Denver, Colorado - (The Hosting News) - July 2, 2009 - Managed hosting and colocation solutions provider, Hosting.com, 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.

Joel Daly, COO of Hosting.com remarked, ”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.”
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. 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.”
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.
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.
Hosting.com provides enterprise colocation, cloud computing, dedicated hosting, managed hosting, disaster recovery, and business continuance services to a global customer base demanding a high level of security, reliability, and responsiveness. Hosting.com monitors, manages, and enhances the Web-based platforms of Web 2.0 companies, software as a service (SaaS) providers, content distribution networks (CDN), and medium to large enterprises whose Web presence is crucial and high availability mandatory.

Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - June 9, 2009 - BreakThisRecord.com, headquartered in Kent, Washington, has selected The Planet’s Northstar Managed Hosting platform for its IT infrastructure.

Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet explained, ”Businesses of all sizes rely on Northstar and its Anticipation Advantage methodology. With its prescriptive methodology, customers plan their IT infrastructure to accommodate their long-term business goals without having to purchase more servers than they need. Plans are evaluated quarterly with the Northstar team to be certain they’re ready for the next growth phase.”

The free challenge web site extends opportunities for anyone - from individuals, schools or even groups and clubs - to post videos, establish their own personal records and defy others to best the performance. Co-founded by Jeff Huffman and Jesse Prohn, the two entrepreneurs kicked around numerous ideas as they looked for ways to engage their children to become more active and less interested in video games.
Mr. Huffman explained, ”We wanted a fun, clean and safe place for our kids, but also for anyone from 1 to 99 to have some fun. We envision schools using BreakThisRecord, with their logos and school colors, to post events on their own dedicated pages. They can conduct not only physical challenges, but also academic contests.”
Mr. Prohn added, ”Jeff and I are both in the construction industry, so technology is a not one of our core competencies. We needed technical advice on servers, software and architecture, and the Northstar services were key in our decision making. They simplified the process for us and laid out a plan for our growth. The team is fast and reliable, and we don’t have to worry. We can focus on building interest in the site.”
Jesse Prohn and Jeff Huffman are hard-working and competitive entrepreneurs, both with an interest in their construction business. Mulling plans for establishing new opportunities, the two discussed the fact that they missed the competitive physical activities of their youth. They surfaced the idea of competitive challenges, and Prohn credits Huffman with taking the next steps to make BreakThisRecord.com a reality. Core to both was that it should be a family-friendly site that offered good, clean fun.
The two tapped a friend with deep technical expertise to help. From there, they decided that hosting was the best option since it meant they didn’t have to buy servers or manage the IT infrastructure on their own.
Mr. Prohn added, ”We’re both raising families, so we have fewer opportunities to compete. I can’t go out and play basketball like I used to do, and that’s how the idea came about. We both liked it, but it was Jeff who initiated what came next.”
As their ideas evolved, they both agreed they wanted to combine fun and humor. Today, the site provides a wide array of challenges, from the largest elk antler ever found; the best time on eating a can of Vienna sausages; and even the best rainbow caught on a camcorder. They also offer prizes every month, including new Flip video cameras, for the best entry.
Mr. Huffman added, ”Not every entry goes up. We monitor the site around-the-clock to keep it clean and safe. If we deem it’s not right for the audience we’re targeting, it just doesn’t go up.”
The Planet is the leading provider of On Demand IT Infrastructure solutions, hosting more than 20,000 small- and medium-size businesses and 17.1 million Web sites worldwide. Customers have the power to choose from the broadest range of hosting solutions in the industry, from dedicated servers, Managed Dedicated Servers, Northstar Managed Hosting and data center colocation, all backed by 24×7x365 support. With the best choice of servers, software tools and world-class service, backed by state-of-the-art data centers and an enterprise-class network, The Planet turns IT into a powerful competitive advantage that enables customers to grow their businesses.
