Colocation packages are priced between $50 and $200 per month. All the hosting packages available under the new division come complete with managed services and access to a customer support portal.

?Server Matrix was created to fill a void in the entry-level server market,? said Lance Crosby, chief operating officer of The Planet. ?We researched the market and concluded there is a lack of quality product, at a fair price-point, which includes true managed services, ? Crosby said. ?With Server Matrix, small businesses, including SOHO users, now have a viable option when it comes to selecting a data center, bandwidth, and product, all backed up with outstanding levels of service.?

Server Matrix customers will be housed in one of The Planet?s two data centers, complete with Tier 1 provider bandwidth and live, 24-hour technical support.
