Aug, 2003 : WestHost Introduces Virtual Dedicated Servers

📅 August 28, 2003 - Utah-based Web hosting firm WestHost (westhost.com ) said yesterday it had introduced Web hosting packages based on Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) technology.

The company said it planned to offer the technology without raising prices, and that the technology would be available for as little as $7.95 a month.
"This is a huge move for us," said Bevan Erickson, WestHost's director of sales and marketing. "Although we are not the first to offer this technology, we are the first to offer it with our service packages at prices well below industry standards. Virtual Dedicated Server technology is usually found to be available with hosting packages around the range of $40 to $80 per month."
The company said their packages include Miva Merchant, a dedicated/static IP address, SSL, unlimited POP e-mail, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited subdomains, multiple domain management and a number of applications and software support.
WestHost was established in 1998.
