(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Combining the latest server hardware with Parallels (www.parallels.com) virtualization software, TurnKey Internet (www.turnkeyinternet.net) has created a new line of virtual private servers servers that offer the performance and reliability of TurnKey’s dedicated servers, yet offer increased energy efficiency and a reduced price.
According to TurnKey’s announcement this week, the optimized resources on TurnKey Internet’s “hybrid” servers provide dedicated server-like performance performance for up to eight clients on a single machine. This ensures peak operation while using less energy per client, giving environmentally conscious businesses and individuals the opportunity to purchase a high-quality web hosting solution that saves them money while reducing their carbon footprint.
“The hybrid server finds the perfect balance of price, performance and reliability and it’s very environmentally friendly,” TurnKey Internet president and chief executive officer Adam Wills said in a statement. “Choosing a hybrid server over a dedicated server is like car-pooling, saving energy while still getting where you need to go.”
A traditional dedicated web server is often under-used, consuming a large amount of electricity even when it is idle.
The new line of servers offers a choice of Windows or Linux, as well as free cPanel or Plesk, bare metal off-site back-ups, a managed firewall, system administrative assistance, security monitoring and auditing and free server migration assistance.
According to the new announcement, all of TurnKey Internet’s new hybrid servers are backed by 24/7 premium support, previously only available on their dedicated line.
Along with its environmental causes, TurnKey has also been active in social issues. In July, when thousands of Iranians took to the Internet to protest the controversial results of the country’s election, Turnkey Internet provided hosting services for IT consultant Austin Heap (www.austinheap.com), who built a proxy network for bypassing government filters to help reroute Iranians on the web.
