May 27, 2010 : ServInt Introduces Blog Server Line

📅 May 27, 2010 - Company leverages its experience working with bloggers to make launching and managing blogs easier.

ServInt, a provider of managed web hosting for businesses worldwide, today introduced the ServInt Blog Server Line to make it easier to launch and manage blogs hosted by it.

The company articulates that it has designed the new offering in consultation with its blogging customers to determine the feature set that best meets the needs of this rapidly growing market segment. New blogging customers using the ServInt Blog Server Line will experience special user guides to simplify and streamline blog launch and management processes. It says that customers also will get access to cPanel, WordPress and Akismet spam filtering, as well as thousands of compatible plugins.

The company avers that ServInt Blog Server packages start at VPS levels, which are priced as low as $49 per month with no setup fee. Blog Server packages also are available on all levels of the company's Enterprise Dedicated Servers.

It explains that thousands of bloggers already utilize its hosting services, which are ideally suited for small and medium-size, web-based companies demanding a web-hosting service managed by experienced professionals. When combined with the company's Managed Services Team and reputation for reliability, its VPS packages are the industry's premier dedicated-server-replacement solutions. The company further explains that each service in its VPS line always has utilized hosting-class hardware, providing a replacement for the traditional dedicated server. Each VPS service offers customers increased redundancy, free backups, managed services and extremely easy upgrade paths. Moreover, each product in the VPS line can be quickly and effortlessly scaled to accommodate abrupt changes in traffic. It adds that information on the new ServInt Blog Server Line can be found at www.servint.net/blog.

"Our customers helped us craft a service offering that gives bloggers the features they want, with simpler access to those features," said ServInt Founder and Chief Executive Officer Reed Caldwell. "However, ServInt is about much more than hosting technologies and blogger-friendly feature sets. It's also about the customer-facing human resources we're allocating to this important Internet business community. While our Blog Server Line staff will be focused like a laser on the specific needs of bloggers, they will leverage the same enterprise-grade customer care and engineering resources we use for our largest clients."

Caldwell also said the features introduced with the new Blog Server Line are the latest example of the company's ongoing effort to make its services as blog-friendly as possible. "ServInt has been setting the standard for blogger customer service for years. Now, we are taking a step toward developing blog-specific technology and service platforms that scale faster, perform better and deliver optimal value for our blogging clients."

Caldwell pointed to the company's experience with leading sports blogger Brooks Melchior of Sports by Brooks as an example of how the company takes care of its blog customers. In November 2009, when the news surrounding Tiger Woods' personal life was broken by Melchior, the resulting global traffic surge threatened to cripple the popular sports site. "Instead," said Caldwell, "our engineering team quickly implemented a custom solution that quadrupled the server resources dedicated to the site." Consequently, Sports by Brooks not only survived the massive traffic spike, but actually performed better than ever before. Sports by Brooks has been the company's customer since 2002 and has become one of the world's largest, independently owned general sports blogs.
