NetHosting's Plans for Data Center Upgrades Are Steps in the "Green" Direction

Nethosting.com continues to expound on existing energy-efficient procedures while furthering efforts to go green.

Orem, UT (February 1, 2010) Nethosting.com, one of the nation's leading Hosting providers, has taken great strides in the past years to increase the energy efficiency of its facilities. These efforts have included the installation of sensored and fluorescent lighting, cutting-edge UPS systems manufactured by the world's principal supplier, Emerson Network Power Company/Liebert Corporation, and a top-of-the-line AquaSnap Chiller system that recycles outdoor temperatures for use within the data center during the cooler months.

The monetary and environmental advantages of these upgrades can be measured in watts of electricity saved with the implementation of sensored lighting, the vital elimination of toxic waste by replacing outdated, battery-operated UPS systems, and the reservation of resources through the innovative technology of high efficiency, AquaSnap Chiller units.

Lane Livingston, CEO and founder of NetHosting, says of these systems, It's a great place to start, but we're by no means finished. In addition to the possibilities of solar panels, we're also looking into heat exchange systems that take the heat off the servers in the data center and recycle it through the building during the winter time.

According to Mr. Livingston, NetHosting's Class A data center was built with an invested appreciation for value and efficiency, ideals that seamlessly translate into green, climate-targeted initiatives. The focus during construction of the NetHosting data center was on reducing the power consumption of the typical data center facility, and that focus continues today with the implementation of new and cost-effective technologies as they emerge.

Mr. Livingston finished by saying, The way Nethosting sees it, taking advantage of these energy-saving technologies isn't only the smart thing to do, but it's also the right thing to do for the environment.

Nethosting.com CFO Speaks at 2009 Cyber Symposium

Orem, UT (October 6, 2009) Nethosting.com CFO, Lee Livingston, recently appeared in a notable lineup of speakers at the 2009 Cyber Symposium, held in the Garden Visitors Center at Thanksgiving Point, Lehi.

The Cyber Symposium provides an annual opportunity for the business, academic, and legal communities to meet and discuss the obstacles and opportunities facing today's high tech industry professionals.

"It was a privilege to be a part it," Mr. Livingston said of the engagement. "We shared vital information on key issues, like credit card fraud. It is touching all of our lives and cyber-criminals are becoming more sophisticated."

Mr. Livingston went on to say that the evolution of credit card processing and fraud over the Internet has forced the big credit card brands to push the PCI Digital Security Standard, or PCI DSS, on all levels of credit card processing, which was the topic of Mr. Livingston's presentation and panel discussion.

"The threat of credit card fraud should be of serious concern for consumers and businesses," said Mr. Livingston. "With the recent Hartland Payment Systems breach, where 130 million credit cards appear to have been stolen, the credit card industry is proving to be vulnerable even at its highest levels."

Nethosting to Develop Cloud Hosting Platform

Orem, Utah (September 25, 2009) Nethosting.com has recently announced that they have arrived at the final stages of development for their new cloud hosting product, the latest in Internet server technology. It is a product the folks at Nethosting have been excited about for quite a while, as it will introduce their customers to the cutting edge of server flexibility, price, and performance.

"The potential of cloud computing is in many ways limitless," affirms Nethosting employee Joe Seegmiller. "With this setup, our customers can grow their website presence without constraints like inadequate server space or a ridiculous price tag."

The idea of cloud hosting, or cloud computing as it is sometimes called, is to create an ultra-scalable resource of server space that dynamically meets the computing and traffic demands of websites as they naturally grow and evolve, eliminating the stress of running into computing traffic jams on the web. The Nethosting cloud platform also allows for the user to pay as they go, meaning their clients will never be putting their cash into server space they don't use or need.

And in times like these, says Nethosting CEO Lane Livingston, that's the kind of cost-efficiency we can all live with.

Orem, Utah (November 05, 2008) November 3 and 4, 850,000 K-6 grade elementary students from all 50 states participated in the largest mock online, presidential election.

Overseen by school faculty and administered via the Internet, each school was required to use a voting code to ensure that only Kindergarten thru Sixth grade students had voting access. Monday and Tuesday of this week, participating schools logged on and allowed their students to cast their vote between the presidential candidates. Results were refreshed every 10 minutes throughout both days. Students, as well as the public were able to view the results listed by state by visiting www.studiesweeklyvote.com/vote/report.

"We were thrilled to offer this opportunity to America's elementary students," said Ed Rickers, CEO of Studies Weekly^®.
