Got Web Host Introduces New Dedicated Servers

Got Web Host is proud to announce the addition of new unmanaged dedicated servers to their vast array of web hosting options. The new line of dedicated servers will consist of servers with enterprise level hard drives, Intel dual core, quad core or dual quad core processors and 100 Mbps uplinks. Hard drives are available from 250 GB drive to 2 TB, and uplinks can be upgraded to 1000 Mbps. Many RAID options are available at a minimal charge and bandwidth overages are only $5.00/Mbps. These new dedicated hosting plans all come with five (5) usable IPs and free Got Web Host support.

Got Web Host’s Director of Marketing, Tanya Martin, said of the new offerings, “Got Web Host is excited to be able to offer these new server hosting plans at competitive rates. We have been providing dedicated servers for several years, but our pricing was not exactly competitive. These new dedicated server hosting plans have changed that. With dual core processor servers beginning at $99, no one can argue that our pricing is no longer competitive.”

Lloyd Brown, Director of Business Development for Got Web Host, added, “Got Web Host has long had a reputation for quality service, and we feel these new options will serve to enhance this reputation. We are using Enterprise drives which are specifically rated for 24/7/365 use with a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours. This is almost double what a standard drive offers.”
All of these new servers come standard with the DirectAdmin control panel at no additional charge. If you opt for no control panel that can be provided, and cPanel is available for a small additional monthly fee. Free software RAID is offered on all plans and hardware RAID 1, 5 and 10 are available on many of these new dedicated servers. These servers all come with a 100 Mbps uplink, with an upgrade to 1000 Mbps available.

Remote reboots and IPKVM are available on request. While these dedicated servers are unmanaged, Got Web Host will always be there to assist you to the best of their ability. If managed services are required, a custom quote will be provided. As always, Got Web Host support is free.

Alentus Corporation Launches New Domain Registrar

Alentus Corporation, a web hosting, domain registrar, dedicated server, colocation, and E-Commerce hosting provider, today announced the completion of its Domain Name Registrar status. This extensive process involved the review and approval by the governing domain registration body ICANN, Verisign and other smaller domain registry authorities. Since 2008, Alentus has been deeply involved in the coveted status working diligently not only on the actual approval but a custom registration software platform as well.

Alentus is now in a position to directly sell and manage the highest volume domain names such as .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .name and .pro through its www.lowpricedomains.com brand as well as through the www.alentus.com and www.Websitesource.com brands. This provides coverage for the vast majority of all domain names and more domain extensions are in progress. “In the past we had worked as a reseller on behalf of other registrars such as Go Daddy, now we can realize the cost benefits of not using a middleman,” said William King, CEO. “We look forward to maximizing the benefit of our registrar status by exponentially growing our existing client base of over 20,000 domain names as well as creating a whole new marketing vehicle geared towards shared and dedicated hosting customers. We are now truly a one stop shop for small to medium sized businesses. It is also a priority to set up our own reseller network while appealing to a broader spectrum of potential customers as currently done by other leading brands. For customers, we can now offer a more seamless sign-up and billing process. For shareholders, this is yet another product set we can utilize for significant additional revenue streams and profit.”

Worldwide, the overall domain registrar business currently encompasses over 100 million domain names and top registrars and their resellers manage over five million names each and growing. That’s well over a one billion dollar a year business segment just in basic domain name registration. A few months ago, ICANN also began allowing foreign character sets for domain names and that is expected to provide another growth area for the registrar business. Ancillary sales opportunities include digital certificates, domain name parking revenue, web hosting and more.
