NOVI, Mich. (January 15, 2010) – Future Hosting, an Internet solutions provider serving SMBs and enterprises internationally and developer of Future Engineer™, today announced it has adopted Ksplice Uptrack™, a new technology enabling upgrades and maintenance on Linux servers without the need to reboot the system.

Traditionally, server administrators are required to reboot the system after performing upgrades to the Linux kernel. Although reboots only take several minutes, they inevitably cause downtime and disrupt the normal operation of the system. Ksplice’s rebootless technology instead converts important kernel upgrades to rebootless packages that can be installed without the need to reboot the system.

“Ksplice Uptrack is an important technology that will enable our technical staff to reduce the amount of time we spend on routine maintenance and in return provide even greater uptime for our clients. The ability to eliminate the majority of reboots is something we are excited to add to our arsenal. We’re reducing both costs and headaches at the same time,” said Future Hosting Chief Technology Officer Nick Zyren.

“Ksplice Uptrack brings systems to a whole new level of availability and security, and we’re delighted to be working with Future Hosting to serve their customers better,” said Ksplice Chief Operating Officer, Waseem Daher.

Ksplice Uptrack works in both traditional and virtualized Linux environments. Future Hosting will immediately begin using the technology on Virtual Private Server nodes in all of its data centers.

Virtual Private Servers from Future Hosting start at just $24.95 per month, and are available in a wide variety of configurations, including on both managed and unmanaged plans. Customers are also able to locate their server in any of Future Hosting’s five international data centers, in Chicago, Dallas, London, Seattle, or Washington, D.C.

Future Hosting is the developer of Future Engineer™, a technical support automation system designed to automate time consuming server configuration and repair tasks on Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Future Engineer™ allows clients to receive a greater level of technical support than is available when technicians spend their time performing routine or basic maintenance tasks. With Future Engineer™, technicians are free to spend their time offering a level of technical support that is unrivaled and otherwise unaffordable.

About Future Hosting, LLC

Founded in 2001, Future Hosting is a privately held leading Internet solutions provider specializing in managed hosting, including Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers, and Hybrid Virtual Private Servers. The company has built a strong reputation for its high-quality service, innovative pricing models, and 3-hour Service Level Agreement. Future Hosting is based in Novi, Mich.

NOVI, Mich. (December 7, 2009) – Future Hosting, an Internet solutions provider serving SMBs and enterprises internationally and developer of Future Engineer™, today announced the launch of Hybrid Virtual Private Servers (VPS) in its London data center facility, continuing its globalized approach to virtualization. The company already offers traditional Virtual Private Servers in five international cities.

Hybrid Virtual Private Servers provide significantly greater power than traditional Virtual Private Servers. With a Hybrid VPS, physical servers average one CPU core per VPS, and each node has a maximum capacity of 8 VPS instances (thereby assuring at least one CPU core per VPS). This strict capacity limit also increases disk I/O availability, and provides greater overall performance.

Physical hardware is also more robust in the Hybrid VPS environment, usually providing greater RAM, upgraded network interface cards (NICs), and other features. Hybrid Virtual Private Servers are available as either managed or unmanaged.

“For years, we have specialized in providing the industry’s most reliable, affordable, and scalable Virtual Private Server and Dedicated Server hosting solutions. With an international colocation portfolio and long track record of performance, we continue to realize low customer turnover and significant new customer growth in both of these service areas. However, as new technologies continue to underscore the value of virtualization, we see real strategic value in introducing Hybrid VPS to meet the needs of an emerging market segment,” said Future Hosting Chief Strategy Officer Stephen Kowalski.

Hybrid Virtual Private Servers start at $99.95 per month for 2000GB of monthly data transfer, 2GB of RAM, 50GB of disk space, and 4 IP addresses. Customers can choose from cPanel or Plesk at no additional charge.

(August 4, 2009) – Future Hosting, an Internet solutions provider serving SMBs and enterprises internationally and developer of Future Engineer™, today announced it will no longer bill clients for incoming data transfer, enabling clients to stay within their overall data transfer allotments and not worry about overage charges.

Currently, incoming data represents approximately 25 percent of all data transfer usage. By providing this transfer free of charge, clients will instantly have access to additional capacity and not have to worry about overage charges associated with incoming data transfer spikes.
