Here’s your hosting industry briefing for 05/30/2006

RackForce Debuts Lower Prices

RackForce, a provider of dedicated hosting solutions, announced on Tuesday that they have lowered their prices on their unmetered bandwidth dedicated hosting plan. According to the company, the discount can be as much as 50%, depending on the configuration that the user selects.

“RackForce is one of a few hosting companies offering dedicated unmetered bandwidth. We have avoided the ambiguous two terabytes of transfer on a 100Mbps shared bandwidth model even though actual network performance only allows for a fraction of that. Our flat rate, unmetered model is clear simple and predictable,” explained Tim Dufour, RackForce President.

New File Sharing Site Debuts

PeerFactor, a French company specializing in file sharing services, announced today that they are now offering the ability for users of their service to shared files, regardless of their size. One thing to keep in mind – although their email system is confidential, files that are sent using the service will not be encrypted.

According to the company, “The service allows users to upload files to PeerFactor’s servers and receive a link which they can send by email instead of sending email with a huge attachment.”

Large files will be available through http downloading, but smaller files will be served using a “mini (69ko) P2P client.” This client will not be downloaded to the user’s computer and is compatible with any operating system.

dotWorlds Offers Free Hosting for Customized Domain Names

dotWorlds, a provider of domain name services, announced that they are now offering free web hosting for customers who purchase customized domain names.

We have already seen communities springing up around some of the free domains that we offer, such as “.music”, and with the freedom to invent Internet addresses they really want, people are turning to these dotWORLDS to express themselves.”

According to the company, “the domains they offer are not part of ICANN but “a Private Global Network that has been opened up to the general public.” dotWORLDS domain owners are responsible for configuring the domains they register, which they can currently do free of charge from the company’s website.”
