Jan 21, 2008 : Hostway Discounts IBM Servers

📅 January 21, 2008 - UK domain registrar and Web hosting provider Hostway (hostway.co.uk ) announced on Monday it is offering new customers two months of free service when they sign up for a 12-month contract on any of its new IBM sourced dedicated servers. Customers joining in January and February will also automatically have their RAM allocation doubled as part of the package.

The offering features the latest IBM servers which deliver patented 'X-Architecture' technology. IBM System X and BladeCenter servers, which feature Intel's dual-core Xeon processors, help improve energy management, optimize performance, reliability and manageability and potentially lower the cost of ownership.

Hostway says it has also doubled the allotted RAM quota for the servers, especially when using higher demand applications and intense Web serving. Customers can select between their preferred Linux configuration or Windows 2003 Server, enabling them to save over £300 on the entry-level Linux HW100 alone. All dedicated server plans are backed by Hostway's around the clock enterprise technical support team and its secure data center infrastructure in London's Docklands.

The Web host also recently introduced its new content delivery network, incorporating significantly reduced Web page load times facilitated by new Edge Caching techniques. Edge Caching says its patent-pending technology enables customers to reduce website abandonment by cutting the time that it takes for Web pages with large images or multimedia files to load.
