(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT hosting service provider Carat Networks (www.caratnetworks.com) has launched its first line of high performance Virtual Private Servers supported by its enterprise-grade, fully redundant hosting network.
According to Carat Networks' Friday announcement, Carat Networks' VPS offerings are available in four configurations, ranging from $29 per month to $69 per month, complementing Carat Networks' current array of shared hosting, colocation solutions and dedicated servers.
"Our Virtual Private Servers leverage multi-million dollar network infrastructure to provide clients with access to enterprise-level hosting technology at a price small to medium sized businesses can afford," Carat Networks chief executive officer Chris Niedojadlo said in a statement. "We built this new line of services to provide a robust solution that lies in the vital space between virtual hosting and dedicated servers."
Each configuration is based on the OpenVZ virtualization platform (wiki.openvz.org), and features full root access, dual quad core-based servers, redundant power supplies, and RAID protected storage space. Customers can optionally use cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin for a control panel and select from CentOS, Fedora Core, Debian, or Ubuntu for the operating system.
Providing short-term and long-term scalability, Carat Networks' VPS offers four-times-RAM burst capability as standard on all configurations and some plans offer up to 1,250 GB of data transfer per month.

July 2010 - What's Next? Forecasting Hosting's Future
Technically, there's nothing new about us posing the question, "what are the next steps hosting providers must take to capitalize on the opportunities available in the business?" From the 10,000-foot view, that's the basic premise that underlies just about everything the WHIR publishes or produces. In this particular case, however, we're looking at it through an extremely significant contextual lens. That is, for much of the last two years, hosting providers have been operating in a business climate defined by an economy in crisis.

March 2010 - Web Hosting in Europe
Europe cuts an interesting figure in our coverage of the web hosting industry. From a purely news standpoint, it is very possible to treat Europe in more or less the same way that we treat North America - that is, report the facts, ask the right questions, try to anticipate the issues raised. From an analytical standpoint, however, we present a distinctly North American point of view - this being the product of circumstances (our location), rather than a bias.

January 2010 - Hottest Hosts Directory
In 2008, in our inaugural Hottest Hosts guide, I wrote that we were exploring a new format with the first in-print directory of web hosting services. And last year, I discussed the project in the context of an ongoing project, and a growing tradition here at the Web Host Industry Review. The objective, however, is not to repeat ourselves, but to help the directory evolve into a more valuable resource - something that's going to help you with your purchasing decisions, and something you're going to hold on to for the duration of the year.
