(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- India-based web hosting provider ZNet India (www.znetindia.com) announced on Wednesday it has launched a new set of virtual private server plans based on Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization platform.
Although the announcement of another VPS launch isn't particularly unique, ZNet India's garners some attention because it's apparently the "first commercial offer of Hyper-V in India," according to the company's most recent press release.
This news follows web hosting provider AYKsolutions' announcement on Wednesday that it has introduced virtual private servers for individuals and small to medium sized businesses.
And on Tuesday, Gearworx reported it had launched its own line of ColdFusion virtual private servers, which is hosted on Dell PowerEdge 2900 series servers with quad core Intel Xeon processors.
ZNet India says it is offering the Hyper-V VPS plans with additional software and services, including solutions by DotnetPanel and Smartertools like DotnetPanel Standard, Smartermail, Smarterstats and Smartertrack.
According to the company's website, VPS plans also come with 512MB RAM, 60GB disk space, 250GB bandwidth, three IP addresses and a choice between Windows Server 2003 or 2008. The plans are being offered at around $95.22 per month.
Based in Jaipur and founded in 1999, ZNet India says its one of the country's leading web hosting and domain name service providers and targets SMBs. The company offers Linux hosting, Windows hosting, domain name selling, dedicated hosting, SSL certificates and website designing solutions.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.

If you plan to have a simple HTML website then these guys are good. If you want anything more than that e.g. .PHP, SQL, SMPT, authorization, database, CSS, CMS, etc., and then these guys don't know what they are doing. They are totally stupid and foolish in PHP, SQL, SMPT, authorization, database, CSS, CMS. My site hosting with them from +15 months And I'm using PHP, SQL from 6 months and it didn't work right for a single day.
Billing team: These people are playing with the work. they do not respond they do not care and we just get auto reply mails as their closing mail for the query submitted, this is actually annoying unprofessional and disturbing.
Support team: Very bad service. No one care about customers. All time new person ask for problem wasting your time & give excuse that the concern person is not there and will assist in Morning and in morning where ever you call them, you got reply that he is in meeting.
They advertise as ISO 9001 company. I grade as 3nd class company. Very bad service. All they have is "sorry and concerned person is busy in another call we will call you after some time" and "All staff is busy in meeting".
Moral: Stay away from this Znetindia.com AND Look at the popular websites, find where they are hosted and the companies which host them check reviews and then choose your service provider.
Finally, I'm looking for another Service Provider...
