Certified Hosting Announces Free CloudFlare Hosting Features

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

Certified Hosting, a leading web hosting provider offering shared web hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated server hosting plans, announced today the introduction of CloudFlare functionality through all shared hosting and reseller hosting services. The service, which is fully integrated with Certified Hostings existing cPanel web hosting setup, improves website performance and security for a better, safer, and more dependable end-user experience.

We have been in discussions with CloudFlare for a while now, and we have worked hard to bring this incredible new technology to our customers, says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. With the click of a button on their existing cPanel installation, our shared hosting and reseller hosting customers can now provide a faster, more responsive service to their end-users, without worrying about downtime or threats to their security.

Launched just over a year ago, CloudFlare was initially developed with a focus on securing websites and protecting them against a range of potentially crippling online attacks. Developers Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn began creating a firewall in the cloud where visitor traffic passes through one of 13 data centers before it reaches your website. Here, traffic can be monitored, and in the event of a traffic spike, CloudFlare automatically checks for signs of spamming, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and bot crawling. Most distinctively, since the CloudFlare servers act as proxies to numerous websites, the CloudFlare security system actively learns from attacks and grows progressively more intelligent over time. As a result, Certified Hosting users who opt for CloudFlare functionality can be confident that their website is robustly defended at all times.

CloudFlare takes security off of the list of things our users have to manage for themselves, explains Carlsen. After selecting a security level for their website, our shared web hosting users can let CloudFlare manage their security with no further input required. Even better, in the event that a web hosting server does become overloaded with disruptive traffic, the CloudFlare system automatically calls upon a cached version of the website from one of the distributed cloud servers. Our customers can be completely assured that their website is available to end-users consistently, and is always performing at its best.

The cloud-based distributed nature of CloudFlare does not only impact website security Certified Hosting customers will also notice significant improvements to the speed and performance of their website. Usually, when an end-user logs on to a page, the content must be transmitted from one static server to their home computer. Potentially, this requires traffic to be routed around the entire world. When using CloudFlare, a mirrored version of the website can be accessed on the CloudFlare server that is geographically nearest to the user. As a result, page loading times decrease dramatically and customers are able to view website content or place orders quicker than ever before.

We are pleased to add Certified Hosting as a partner, says Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of CloudFlare. Certified Hosting has integrated CloudFlare into their control panel, making it simple to offer improved website performance and security to all of their customers.

CloudFlare makes accessing websites lightning-fast, while also making sites more secure, says Carlsen. But I guess the thing I like most about CloudFlare is that it works perfectly, without requiring our customers to learn a completely new system. At Certified Hosting, we are always looking for new ways to give our customers better service on their unlimited web hosting plans, without introducing complexity.

As Certified Hosting has grown, the companys commitment to improving its flagship unlimited hosting services has always remained at the forefront. Now, with the addition of easy-to-deploy CloudFlare functionality, every customer can enjoy new and improved features at no extra cost.

Certified Hosting Announces Deployment of CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack Across Shared Hosting Platform for Maximum Uptime and Stability

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 28, 2011

Certified Hosting, a leading shared, reseller, and dedicated server hosting company, announced today major improvements in uptime and stability across the companys shared hosting platform by moving to advanced, innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technologies. New and existing Certified Hosting customers using unlimited shared hosting plans will appreciate the increased stability, performance, and availability of their websites thanks to the move.

The reason for the move is to provide an even more stable environment for Certified Hosting customers using our shared hosting services, says Kacy Carlsen, Certified Hosting co-founder and CEO. With innovative technology like CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack in place, customers using Certified Hosting unlimited hosting plans will definitely enjoy better uptime and performance of their websites and improved quality of service from the Certified Hosting support team.

Regardless of how great any web hosting providers uptime is, there is still downtime every now and then caused by two different factors. While Certified Hosting has a guaranteed 99.9% uptime for customers on all shared hosting plans, occasional downtime, albeit short, has been inevitable due to the shortcomings of previous shared hosting platform technology and server reboots as a result of Linux OS kernel patching. In the past, all shared web hosting providers and their customers had to put up with these two issues as there was no way to fix these prevailing issues.

To combat these two factors and make our uptime even better, Certified Hosting chose the latest innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technology for all our shared web hosting servers, says Carlsen. When combined, these two great and innovative technologies allow running shared servers almost without any reboots resulting in nearly zero downtime for shared hosting customers websites. Each technology is aimed at combating one of the two major factors causing downtime on a shared hosting platform.

CloudLinux is an innovative server operating system (OS) that has been designed specifically for shared hosting environments as an alternative to conventional operating systems like CentOS and RHEL. CloudLinux OS features website account isolation on an OS level, which is similar to VPS hosting and results in a more stable shared hosting solution platform. Deploying CloudLinux OS allows Certified Hosting to ensure resource spikes caused by a customers website do not take down the entire server. Each customer will be assigned a finite amount of resources, which will ultimately increase stability and uptime for all shared hosting accounts.

The Ksplice Uptrack service combats another major factor causing downtime in any hosting environment reboots due to Linux OS kernel patching. Usually, Linux servers need to be rebooted monthly or more often to apply kernel security updates. If you look at Certified Hostings uptime record, you will see that most of our downtime is caused by having to reboot servers to apply these updates, says Carlsen. With Ksplice Uptrack, Certified Hosting limits the amount of downtime, if any, that normally occurs due to kernel security updates. There will be no more server reboots as all updates will be applied by hot-patching a running kernel.

Certified Hosting technicians have also embraced both technologies. With CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack in place, they will not have to rush to pinpoint website accounts causing spikes and get servers back online or spend additional hours to take servers down to perform kernel updates. Instead, Certified Hostings tech support team can spend more time answering questions and helping customers get the most out of their shared web hosting experience.

Certified Hosting constantly monitors the IT market for new and innovative technologies that we can implement to make our customers online experiences even better. We are extremely confident that the CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack combination will provide us and Certified Hosting customers with a more reliable, stable, and secure shared hosting environment than ever, concludes Carlsen.

Certified Hosting also provides 24/7/365 expert support and monitoring with all shared hosting plans and a host of other free features.

Certified Hosting Announces New VPS Web Hosting Services

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2012

Certified Hosting (certifiedhosting.com), a leader in shared web hosting, dedicated server hosting, and reseller hosting services, announced today an impressive new range of VPS hosting plans using powerful OpenVZ virtualization. Bridging the gap between shared hosting and dedicated server web hosting, these new Linux VPS web hosting plans offer a fixed allocation of resources, on a secure virtual server, at a highly competitive price.

Everybody at Certified Hosting is excited to launch our new VPS hosting plans, says Kacy Carlsen, co-founder and CEO of Certified Hosting. Many customers are looking for the features and performance of a dedicated server solution at a price point that is comparable to that of a shared web hosting service. We are serious about giving our customers the best VPS hosting possible and have carefully designed our VPS web hosting plans to suit every kind of user.

Virtual Private Server hosting, or VPS hosting, falls between a shared hosting account and a dedicated server. A single server can be securely divided up into smaller virtual machines, each of which performs identically to a dedicated server. In addition, customers are granted a specific allocation of common hardware resources, including CPU, RAM, disk space, and bandwidth. With Certified Hostings new VPS web hosting plans, customers can choose from five different packages to meet the demands of their web presence. Plans range from 1Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, 25GB disk space, and 1TB bandwidth to 2.6Ghz CPU, 2048MB RAM, 200GB disk space, and an incredible 20TB bandwidth. These plans are now available at affordable prices.

Weve been rolling out these VPS hosting services, and found that some customers were already maxing out their plans, says Carlsen. Rather than adding new plans, we have decided to make our existing ones more generous than ever. We have a reputation for matching quality with affordability, and we were determined to continue this tradition by offering the best VPS web hosting at competitive prices. Our plans start from just $ 29.99 per month, with flexible pricing schemes for monthly, 6-month, and yearly billing cycles. Were even offering 20% off of your first invoice, making it more affordable than ever to equip your web presence with a state-of-the-art VPS hosting plan.

Although the performance of a VPS web hosting plan depends on hardware quality and network infrastructure, the technology used to run virtual private servers can also have a significant impact on service quality. For its selection of Linux VPS web hosting services, Certified Hosting has chosen to virtualize machines using the OpenVZ system. OpenVZ creates Linux containers that can be independently rebooted and with remote root access, quickly and efficiently. Certified Hosting also uses Virtualizer by Softaculous, a VPS hosting plan control panel that not only speeds up the deployment of new VPS hosting accounts, but also makes it easier for users to manage system resources and work with files on their servers. Together, these software elements combine to make Certified Hostings new VPS web hosting service one of the best VPS hosting services in the industry.

Weve matched the quality of our hardware and network with the kind of software that really unlocks the potential of Linux VPS web hosting, says Carlsen. In addition to Virtualizer for monitoring server usage, were also pleased to announce that we will be including free cPanel/WHM web hosting control panels and free managed services on four of our five new VPS hosting services.

Throughout the years, Certified Hosting has always focused on giving customers the services that they want, configured how they want. Now, with the introduction of tiered VPS web hosting plans, customers can enjoy complete flexibility when they order their VPS hosting service.
