March 3, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Dedicated hosting provider The Planet (theplanet.com) announced on Monday it is offering Dual Xeon 2.4 servers for $149 per month, a cost savings of 29 percent. The offer is valid through March 31, or while promotional supplies last.
Available in the company's six world-class data centers, the server features an Intel Dual Xeon 2.4GHz processor, two 80GB hard drives, 1024MB RAM and 1500GB of bandwidth.
"We're offering a temporary price reduction on a popular server that provides plenty of power and performance," says Urvish Vashi, director of product management with The Planet. "When combined with the quality of our network and data centers, this provides customers a great platform from which to build their business."
The Planet announced last week it extended its most popular promotion after receiving a positive customer response.
