August 29, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider ServerPoint (serverpoint.com) announced on Friday it has added Integra Telecom (integratelecom.com) as a backbone provider on its network.

The company has made significant upgrades to its infrastructure to improve its redundancy and bandwidth capacity. Earlier this year, ServerPoint added a new gigabit uplink from XO Communications, which provided ServerPoint with additional network redundancy and capacity for its Las Vegas, Nevada data center facility.

The addition of Integra Telecom enables ServerPoint to deliver lower latency connections to subscribers of Comcast, as a result of peering points between the two providers.

Integra Telecom also reduces network hops many other ISPs in North America and abroad. ServerPoint will continue to add new providers in the coming months as it seeks additional redundancy and bandwidth capacity.

"In the last year alone we have seen the bandwidth needs of our clients grow almost exponentially, especially with the rapid proliferation of SaaS and streaming multimedia content," says ServerPoint CTO Erik Johnson. "It has become more important than ever to boast a fully redundant network that can not only deliver faster speeds to more ISPs, but that can also absorb traffic spikes that have become ever more common."

ServerPoint offers a range of unmanaged and managed hosting services, including virtual private servers starting at $27.99 per month, which are hosted on servers using 8 Intel Xeon cores, 32GBs of RAM, 8-drive RAID 10 arrays and redundant power supplies.

Windows plans include two-hour backups, Silverlight, Windows Media Server, IIS, Active Server Pages, and SQL Server Express. The web host also offers dedicated servers and shared hosting.

Founded in 1998, ServerPoint provides a range of hosting services, including shared, reseller, colocation, dedicated and VPS to thousands of customers in over 100 countries.
