FunkdoobyThere are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a web host. First, ask yourself what type of support you will need. The worst thing that can happen is for a website to go down or to have an email issue.
This means you should look for providers that offer 24/7 free phone support with customer service reps who speak your language and actually pick up the phone when you need them to. You should also find out if you can easily park your company's other domain names. This is important because most companies buy their .com, .net, .org, hyphenated versions of their domain name, misspellings, service names, and more. It is most efficient and convenient for brand management to have these in one control panel and know that you're not going to lose any traffic. It is also important to make sure that your web hosting service provides adequate backup.

AdamSelwoodWeb host Internap announced that it will launch a public infrastructure as a service cloud, which will be built in part on the OpenStack cloud computing platform. The service will be a compliment to the company's existing cloud storage service which is in beta and will be available in June 2011.The IaaS service will be available in the third quarter.
This is a shift from the company's previous cloud efforts which were driven by VMware technology. However, the new service will provide the option to run applications on VM-ware based virtual instances to support enterprise customers with in-house VMware systems that are seeking hybrid cloud solutions. The fact that Interap is using the OpenStack cloud platform originally created by Rackspace, with some code from NASA, is a significant endorsement of the platform's merits in the managed hosting world.

jekert gwapoA fire at the server farm of Italian web host Aruba Internet forced tens of thousands of websites offline last week.
Aruba is one of Italy's largest Web hosting services. The company said that the fire at its primary server farm in the central Italian town of Arezzo first knocked out its backup power source, and automatic fire safety systems forced off the main power. The fire did not spread to servers or rooms where data are stored, however. The fire struck at about 4am local time, and it took 3 ½ hours to extinguish. Restoring service took longer, and power was not fully restored for about 11 hours following the blaze. Websites were slowly coming back online across the country, with sites for companies in Tuscany working again by midday.
