(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Linux- and BSD-focused web hosting provider M5 Hosting (www.m5hosting.com) announced on Monday that it is upgrading all customer data transfer allocation by up to 500 percent to ensure customers have adequate resources to grow online.
Last week, M5 Hosting completed its deployment of Internap Flow Control Platform route optimization technology to boost its network performance.
According to the press release, the upgrade applies to all dedicated server and colocation customers with 250GB or 350GB per month data transfer. With the upgrade, M5 Hosting says its plans that previously allotted 250GB now offer 1.5TB per month of data transfer, and those that provided 350GB now include 2TB per month of data transfer.
“As a result of major upgrades to our network and new agreements with network carriers, we are able to offer substantially more data transfer to our customers for the same price. These upgrades are effective immediately, and come at absolutely no charge and no decrease in quality,” Michael J. McCafferty, principal of M5 Hosting said in a statement. “We understand that in these economic times, many our customers need to do more with less – not the same with less, not less with less, but more with less.”
M5 Hosting recently began operations in its second data center, an 80,000 square foot facility in San Diego, California. The company says its data center was “built to support a large defense contractor and its government contracts” so it has the latest high-efficient power and cooling systems. M5 Hosting provides data backup with R1Soft.
M5 Hosting says its network features redundant carrier class Cisco 6509 routers with SUP720-3BXL engines. The company uses BGP for routing over multiple Internet connections.
Its network uses multiple Gigabit connections to Tier-1 carriers and direct peering with over 100 other networks, according to the press release.
