KnownHost Delivers New VPS Plans via Website Redesign

April 8, 2013 - Industry-leading managed and unmanaged Virtual Private Server provider KnownHost announced today that it is launching a new look and feel for its website, and along with that arrives new VPS plans. The new options - in some instances providing a lower cost for the same plan - are being emailed to current users and are also available to new customers.

“Many of our users, including some who are active on peer forums like Webhostingtalk.com, frequently comment about the ability to seamlessly move between plans,” said Justin Sauers, CEO of KnownHost LLC. “That’s something we’re proud of. And, with a newly-designed website for Knownhost.com, comes a rededication to helping our customers scale even faster and easier with new VPS plans.”

This will be the company’s fifth year providing both network enhancements and additional options for its VPS plans that are designed to fulfill the growing need for VPS services worldwide.

KnownHost reported in an earlier press release that the VPS Hosting Industry is anticipated to continue growing, citing that an article on TheWhir.com noted that Peter Hopper, CEO of DH Capital, said at the Hosting and Cloud Transformation Summit late last year that “he thinks managed and hybrid cloud models will be extremely effective in the next 12 months.”

The company had already expanded its VPS offerings to include a New Jersey-based datacenter. That datacenter joined its already-established locations in Texas and California, and is the company’s third major datacenter brought online within five years.

KnownHost is recognized for monitoring 247 physical servers for its managed products, also placing it as the number-one web host among the HyperSpin rankings for reliability and uptime. KnownHost achieves a 99.984% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.5% benchmark that HyperSpin considers to be a reliable web host. Its sister provider, RocketVPS, ranks number-one in uptime for unmanaged hosting services, with a 99.997% uptime ranking. KnownHost.com is also a recipient of a 2013 Editors’ Choice Award from Web Hosting Directory and Review site FindMyHost.com for Managed VPS Hosting, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

KnownHost Sponsors EclecticRadio at Ultra Music Festival

March 18, 2013 - Industry-leading managed and unmanaged Virtual Private Server provider KnownHost announced today that it is sponsoring online radio leader EclecticRadio at this year’s Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida, for the March 22-24 weekend.

EclecticRadio, a five-year client of KnownHost, is leveraging a managed virtual private server to power its worldwide live dance radio business from The Netherlands and its coverage of the Ultra Music Festival. The premiere electronic music festival, now in its 15th year, attracts 200,000 fans from around the globe.

“We're pleased to help EclecticRadio realize its dreams of reporting live from the Ultra Music Festival,” said Justin Sauers, CEO of KnownHost. “KnownHost prides itself on providing leading technical assistance and the best in customer service day-to-day, and also tries to go the extra mile to support its Managed VPS Hosting clients and the VPS Hosting industry in other ways, including sponsorships like these.”

“First of all, we want to thank KnownHost for the amazing sponsorship for us at this event,” said Jasper Van Der Meer, co-owner of EclecticRadio. “With interviews, live updates during the event, and live social media posts, we are set to deliver amazing reports of the atmospheric and massive Ultra Music Festival 2013!”

According to a blog post from Edison Research and Arbitron, Edison’s study of technology consumption in America showed that weekly usage of Internet radio increased from 22% of Americans in 2011 to 29% in 2012. This is historically-significant, as it is the largest increase the study has ever shown since the statistic was first tracked in 1998.

In addition, a recent white paper from TargetSpot indicated an increase in streamed Internet radio usage. Internet Radio listenership has actually reached about 42% of adult U.S. broadband households in 2012, up 8% versus a year ago. The study also shows an 87% ownership increase for tablets and a 22% jump for smartphones among Internet radio listeners.

KnownHost reported in an earlier press release that the VPS Hosting industry is also anticipated to grow, citing that an article on TheWhir.com noted that Peter Hopper, CEO of DH Capital, said at the Hosting and Cloud Transformation Summit last year that “he thinks managed and hybrid cloud models will be extremely effective in the next 12 months.”

2012 KnownHost Holiday Upgrade Announcement

December, 25, 2012

Dear Valued KnownHost Client,

Well, it's that time of the year again and we're proud to release our holiday announcement to celebrate the holiday season. KnownHost Santa has been very busy digging deep into his bag to make all KnownHost customers happy and we feel this year he's done just that. This year it's bigger and better than ever before. We are pleased to announce we are releasing BRAND NEW VPS PLANS and BRAND NEW DEDICATED SERVER PLANS which any customer can move to per request. You aren't forced to move but in many cases it will give you more bang for your buck so we recommend considering it as the least. To move to a new VPS plan it's seamless as we've built a process for this so it just needs a reboot essentially. This means it's pain free to move if you decide you want to move to the new VPS plans. The new upgraded VPS plans we consider MASSIVE as the RAM, Disk Space, and Bandwidth are all increased and in some cases the price has even been lowered. This will give you better performance and the ability to grow with no added costs if you elect to move to a new VPS plan. If you want a new Dedicated Server this does require data migration and IP changes but we'd manage the process for you. Just ask and we can explain it in further detail.

This holiday announcement regarding the new VPS's and Dedicated Servers is delivered to you by KnownHost Santa and is something we at KnownHost are quite proud of. This release of brand new VPS plans involves a large investment on our part but in return we feel this will provide our current and new customers with a better valued product at the same or even a lower cost. Our goal is to grow with our customers so this upgrade should allow this to happen with no downtime or price increase involved.

If you want to switch just reply to this email and we can discuss it with you as it's not something you have to do anything with besides emailing us at [email protected] Again, these are brand new VPS plans so if you are interested we need to move you to the new VPS as forcing you isn't something we feel is the best approach. As the saying goes 'if it isn't broken why fix it' so we feel this is the best approach when doing a re-haul of an entire VPS product line. One thing to note is we won't be selling Hybrid Servers anymore but the new VPS's we offer (7 in total) cater to those users as well so feel with the lower prices and increase in resources this is a good thing for new and existing customers.

Please note, we do expect a large flow of emails regarding this announcement so please be patient with our replies. With the holiday season we will be working with a lighter crew so replies will take anywhere from 1-3 days.

Again, we wish you all a happy holidays. We look forward to an even better 2013!

New plans are now public on our website and can be found here. :) Hope you enjoy! http://www.knownhost.com/vps_packages.html and http://www.knownhost.com/dedicated-servers.html

Happy Holidays from Everyone at KnownHost!


KnownHost Donates Managed VPS to Restavec Freedom Alliance - Helps Provide Relief to Children of Haiti

July 10, 2012 - KnownHost.com is proud to announce it is donating their flagship Managed VPS Hosting service to RFA.

Haiti has a large number of children who live outside their parents' homes, known as Restavec. Restavek are often in a situation of unpaid domestic service where they are deprived of their most basic rights. In pre-earthquake Haiti, there were about 250,000 Restavec. These children are not allowed to go to school and they have no education. The United Nations defines these children as being in slavery.

"I was approached by Patrick Nommensen, a board member of the organization," said Justin Sauers, Director of Sales at KnownHost.com. "RFA is doing good work now, and after learning what some of their future plans are to expand their outreach, we really wanted to be a part of it."

"We'd like to thank KnownHost for the generosity," said Patrick Nommensen, board member of RFA. "This donation will help us expand our website presence, recruit additional volunteers and reach more supporters from around the world."

The Alliance pledges to offer a safe, stable, family-centered environment for these children. They get a chance to have the childhood they deserve - nothing like their life as a Restavec.

KnownHost is widely recognized for its fast growth, and now monitors 230 physical servers for its Managed VPS Hosting service, placing it as the number-one web host among the HyperSpin rankings for reliability and uptime. KnownHost achieves a 99.979% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.954% benchmark that HyperSpin considers to be a reliable web host.

The technology provider is also a recipient of a 2012 Editors' Choice Award from Web Hosting Directory and Review site FindMyHost.com, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the elves will once again work their magic and roll-out increases in RAM and Bandwidth for all Managed VPS Hosting Hybrid plans.

This will be the firm’s fourth year providing these network enhancements around the holidays, supporting its goal of being the leading value-added VPS solution that provides the best service and reliability in the marketplace.

KnownHost Expands with New East Coast Datacenter

December 12, 2011KnownHost LLC announced today that it expanded its VPS offerings to include a New Jersey-based datacenter. The addition joins its already-established locations in Texas and California, and is the company’s third major datacenter brought online in six years.

The development comes on the heels of the firm’s news earlier this year that it now monitors 201 physical servers, placing it as the number-one webhost among the HyperSpin rankings for reliability and uptime. According to the newest figures, KnownHost achieves a 99.967% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.954% benchmark that HyperSpin considers to be a reliable webhost.

“Our growth is allowing us to rapidly invest in more managed virtual private server offerings,” said Justin Sauers, CEO at KnownHost LLC. “Adding our third datacenter allows our customers to have more flexibility and reinforces our commitment to providing the best products and the most reliable support in the industry.”

Congruent with technological trends in managed VPS systems, KnownHost is recognizing the benefits of investing in the use of additional datacenters. The Data Center Journal noted in June that according to the Uptime Institute’s inaugural datacenter-industry survey, “nearly two-thirds of respondents (60%) expect to upgrade/renovate an existing datacenter or construct a new data center within the next three years.”

As such, KnownHost has selected a leading datacenter provider in Piscataway, New Jersey, that was ranked by Inc. magazine as a fastest-growing company in America, that holds a certification for operating effectiveness, and that has the resources for world-class support within the surrounding New York City metro area.

KnownHost has been consistently ranked as a top Managed VPS Host in the HyperSpin rankings over the previous four years. It also received a 2011 Editors’ Choice Award from the Web Hosting Directory and Review site FindMyHost.com, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

KnownHost Now Monitors 201 Servers

October 06, 2011October 06, 2011 - KnownHost LLC announced today that it now monitors 201 physical servers, placing it as the number-one webhost among the HyperSpin rankings for reliability and uptime.

According to the newest figures published by HyperSpin, KnownHost achieves a 99.959% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.954% benchmark that HyperSpin considers as a reliable webhost for just one server. KnownHost boasts 200+ servers so this speaks loudly of the service provided.

The announcement closely follows a milestone for the company - building its 11,111th VPS - and also comes on the heels of a major upgrade to all of its VPS and Hybrid Servers earlier in the year. Many customers continue to enjoy the increased resources from that upgrade, including more memory, more disk space and higher bandwidth, and all for the same investment. The firm has also doubled its bandwidth on all existing Dedicated Servers.

"We are excited to achieve another major milestone this year," said Joel Neimond, Vice President of Sales at KnownHost LLC. "Demand for virtual private servers continues to grow and we're meeting that demand with our commitment to monitoring over 200 servers. We’re providing the best value to our customers, with the best uptime and reliability available in the marketplace."

In alignment with demand, industry sources are continuing to measure the benefits of using a VPS.

CodeHill, a blog about the management of websites, forecasted the 2011 outlook for the segment like this: "More and more small and mid-sized businesses are turning to the web in order to reach their customers, exchange information, understand market trends, and conduct day-to-day business. To do this, they are turning to virtual private servers, or VPS. This type of server gives the appearance and capabilities of running their own dedicated machines, while not having to worry about the high costs associated with real dedicated hosting."

The blog continued to share that: "The cost of personnel to maintain the dedicated company server, energy, and equipment all add up. These costs are something small and medium sized businesses just can't afford. Hence, 2010 was the year when virtualization deployments saw an increase of 28%, with a borderline 50% adoption rate for production."

KnownHost has been consistently ranked as a top Managed VPS Host in the HyperSpin rankings over the previous four years. It also received a 2011 Editors' Choice Award this month from Web Hosting Directory and Review site, FindMyHost.com, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

KnownHost Builds its 11,111th VPS

February 22, 2011 - KnownHost LLC announced today that it has built its 11,111th VPS (virtual private server), marking the company’s commitment to service, technology and value since its founding in 2005.

The announcement closely follows a major upgrade to all of its VPS and Hybrid Servers, including increased memory, more disk space and higher bandwidth. Many customers are enjoying the increased resources for the same investment, providing better performance and the ability to grow. The firm also doubled the bandwidth on all existing Dedicated Servers.

"We are excited to achieve this milestone in 2011," said Joel Neimond, Vice President of Sales at KnownHost LLC. "Our innovative features and commitment to proactively rolling-out upgrades is a formula that delivers real value for our customers year-after-year. Virtual private servers are a growing option for providing reliable, affordable and scalable hosting for businesses and personal endeavors of all sizes."

Indeed, web hosting industry predictions include a robust forecast for the virtual private server market.

Technology columnist Glenn Fleishman wrote in a recent blog post on Ars Technica, a Condé Nast Digital property, that: “While you've been able to rent a VPS from various companies for several years, options flowered in 2010. The software has matured, robust services are available, and cost is now at a significant advantage relative to performance for the sort of routine Web and database tasks that the vast majority of websites carry out.”

In addition, a report from advisory firm Gartner, Inc., anticipates that: “By 2012, 20 percent of businesses will own no IT assets. Several interrelated trends are driving the movement toward decreased IT hardware assets, such as virtualization, cloud-enabled services, and employees running personal desktops and notebook systems on corporate networks.”

KnownHost LLC has been recognized twice as a fastest-growing company in the “Top 10 Web Host Awards” from HostReview, and has also received an “Editors’ Choice Award” from Web Host Magazine & Buyer’s Guide.
