Hostway Integrates AutomaticSiteMap to Boost Customers Search Traffic

In February, Hostway Corporation will begin rolling out to its 1.5 million retail and channel customers new technology that submits each page of their Web site directly to major search engines.

The integration with AutomaticSiteMap is part of Hostway’s strategy to deliver advanced online marketing technology at no cost to its customers. The agreement allows Hostway customers to receive AutomaticSiteMap’s basic service level, a $60 annual value, at no cost.
AutomaticSiteMap ensures that Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask.com have up-to-date, page-by-page information about every Hostway customers’ site without waiting for the search engines to find the content among millions of sites on the Web. Hostway is the first major Web hosting provider to integrate this new direct XML Sitemap submission technology, now recommended by all major search engines. Hostway customers will be able to manage their AutomaticSiteMap service (including optional expanded service levels) from within their Web hosting control panel.

“This is the only system we found that can handle Web site submission on a massive scale to boost search engine rankings for all our customers. AutomaticSiteMap is an exact fit with the other technologies and services we provide to help our customers make more money online,” said John Lee, Hostway’s senior vice president of small business hosting. “AutomaticSiteMap’s turnkey system is directly integrated into our control panel and automatically delivered to our customers so that they can increase search traffic without taking any additional action.”

“By making this a standard feature of all Web hosting plans, and automatically deploying it across their entire network, Hostway solves a common problem–getting traffic–for all its customers,” added AutomaticSiteMap Vice President of Business Development Troy McCasland. “Since introducing AutomaticSiteMap last year, tens of thousands of sites of all types and sizes have discovered a new and innovative way to get traffic and be more successful.”

Lee has seen the success firsthand. Before finalizing the partnership, Hostway product managers tested dozens of Web site submission products and found AutomaticSiteMap worked the best. One of the product managers tested AutomaticSiteMap on a personal Web site.

“Signup was simple, and within just hours my site started appearing in organic search results on Google and Yahoo!,” he said.

Lee added, “this is something all our customers need. It’s a great addition to our hosting plans and services.”

What does AutomaticSiteMap technology do?
AutomaticSiteMap’s service is new technology that helps Web sites and blogs boost search engine visibility, targeted site traffic and sales. The service crawls Web sites for content, even discovering pages, such as dynamic content not normally found by search engine crawlers. All pages are then automatically formatted into an XML Sitemap and directly submitted to the XML interface of major search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. The service is completely Web-based, with no software to install. Customers manage their service using a feature-rich online dashboard that provides extensive reporting, search engine optimization data and recommendations.

AutomaticSiteMap for Hostway Customers
All Hostway’s retail customers will receive a no-cost, monthly AutomaticSiteMap account. No implementation steps are required as Hostway will automatically update each customer’s robots.txt file with the unique URL where AutomaticSiteMap will host the customer’s XML Sitemap file.

About AutomaticSiteMap
Founded in June 2009 by a team of successful Internet entrepreneurs in Napa, CA, AutomaticSiteMap uses innovative server-based search engine optimization technologies to help customers of all sizes increase their search engine visibility and rankings. The company sells its services directly, and through a reseller channel of Web hosts, Web designers and search industry agencies.

Web Host InetServices Launches New Website for Cloud Services

Showcasing its comprehensive suite of cloud hosting services, web hosting provider InetServices (www.inetservices.com) has officially launched its new website, www.inetservicescloud.com, dedicated specifically to cloud hosting services.

According to its Friday announcement, InetServices, which provides dedicated servers, managed dedicated servers, and cloud computing, launched the site to increase the visibility of its InetServicesCloud, introduced in October 2009.
Sensing a greater than expected interest in InetServicesCloud services, InetServices chief operating officer Kevin Soendker said in a statement, “[W]e decided to provide potential customers with a website that focuses specifically on cloud services. This new website is also a preemptive move for creating InetServicesCloud as a separate division of InetServices targeted for the beginning of the second quarter 2010.”

The InetServicesCloud offers customers a high-performance, highly reliable and scalable cloud computing infrastructure powering three offerings: virtual machine hosting, virtual private data centers, and virtual storage. An alternative to traditional dedicated servers, InetServices’s virtual machine hosting is priced starting at $99 per month. Providing a more secure and reliable environment than a public cloud, the Virtual Private Data Center is available in both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V varieties, and custom-made clouds are also available.

“The new website makes it easy for online visitors to easily scan all the cloud service offerings without getting confused with those for dedicated and managed servers,” Soendker said. “The one thing we have found over the past several months is that most small businesses are still confused in understanding the differences and benefits from dedicated servers, virtual dedicated servers, and virtual private servers. We pre-released the InetServicesCloud site over 30 days ago and the feedback as well as orders has exceeded all our expectations.”

ARSYS EXPANDS CLOUD SERVICES WITH CLOUD STORAGE

Arsys, a Spanish Internet services provider, today announced it is expanding its Cloud Hosting services with new cloud storage solutions geared towards home users and companies.

With the cloud storage solutions, the information is not stored on a single physical piece of hardware, but on a technological platform that guarantees maximum availability, flexibility and scalability. Through a secure web page with an easy interface, users can automatically scale their storage capacity up to 5TB (the equivalent of 1.5 million photos in high definition), according to their specific needs and requirements, and without technical intervention.

The cloud storage solutions of Arsys are geared towards both individual and business users, since they can be easily integrated into corporate environments. Any company can scale its infrastructure, at any time, to its data by flexibly managing its storage capacity of the technical infrastructure, thereby reducing its investment in storage units.

The new line of cloud storage services consists of three different solutions: Personal Online Hard Drive, Application Storage and External Storage. The launch of these solutions, already available in beta, complements Arsys’ portfolio of cloud services that will be further expanded with new functionalities in the second quarter of the year.

For the home user, Arsys offers the Personal Online Hard Drive, which allows data access from any device connected to the Internet without relying on physical devices such as for example USB memory sticks. Signing up before February 15th, this service is completely free of charge with 5 GB capacity and no time limit.

For businesses, Application Storage expands the storage capacity for external applications that access data through an API (application interface). It is aimed at developers or companies that handle a high file volume and signing up before February 15th, the 50GB version is completely free of charge for one year. In addition, companies can increase their server capacity with External Storage. This solution adds extra storage space to servers hosted with Arsys and incorporates technologies with greater connectivity and maximum incident tolerance, like high performance network units (NFS).

In April of last year, Arsys launched the first commercial cloud hosting platform developed in Spain. Based on the VMware vSphere virtualization technology, SAN architecture and next-generation servers, this platform separates hosting from the technical infrastructure that supports it, such as servers and network elements, and allows flexible servers configurations, managing its technological resources in real time.

The cloud storage platform is stored in the new Data Center of the company. The facility has the capacity to house up to 15,000 servers and incorporates the latest technological advances in energy efficiency, security and availability. The data center is connected to Arsys’ telecommunications network of two redundant lines with a total capacity of 20 Gbps ensuring optimal access to the stored data.

To explain the concept of Cloud Storage and its advantages for home users and business customers, Arsys has created a microsite www.cloudstorage.es

For additional information on the new Cloud Storage services, please visit www.arsys.es.

The Arsys Group has more than 675,000 domain names under management and serves over 250,000 clients worldwide.
