KnownHost Santa to Deliver Free Upgrade
Increased Bandwidth and RAM for
Every Managed VPS and Hybrid Server Customer

December 25, 2011 – It is the happiest season of all, and that means that the KnownHost Santa is delivering a complimentary upgrade for each of its Managed VPS Services and Hybrid Servers Services customers. 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.

The company announced earlier this month that it expanded its VPS offerings to include a New Jersey-based datacenter. That datacenter joins its already-established locations in Texas and California, and is the company’s third major datacenter brought online in five years.

KnownHost also released 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. KnownHost achieves a 99.970% uptime ranking, exceeding the 99.954% benchmark that HyperSpin considers to be a reliable webhost.

The technology provider is a recipient of a 2011 Editors’ Choice Award from Web Hosting Directory and Review site, FindMyHost.com, which bases its recognition on both editor-level and consumer-level reviews.

KnownHost Expands with New East Coast Datacenter
Increased Demand for VPS Provider Adds Presence in New Jersey

December 12, 2011 - KnownHost 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, 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.
