Existing and prospective customers will also be able to more easily use the new site, with streamlined navigation and standards-based coding. User experience was a primary factor for HostDime in designing and developing the new site.

We want our site mirror the constant support that we provide to our clients. We have always gone above and beyond to suit our clients’ global web hosting and support needs, so why not give our current and future clients all the hosting tools and information they need with just a few clicks of their mouse?” said Emmanuel Vivar, CEO of HostDime.

Back in the 1990s, when the internet was in its infancy, the Pacific island outsourced the rights to its country code to a US firm for two million dollars a year, reports Radio New Zealand International.

However, now that the web has become increasingly commercialised, finance minister Lotoala Metia says the deal should be enhanced.

“We are negotiating but we are tied because of the agreement that was signed before us,” he told the news provider.

“We cannot negotiate for an increase until 2016. Counter offers have been made but they are not acceptable to the government of the day”

Mr Metia said the government would have to “stick to its guns” for the time being despite receiving “peanuts” for the use of .tv.

From this year, commercial organisations are able to register generic top-level domains with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

The Chicago-based web hosting company has quickly achieved a dominant position in the dedicated and complex hosting business by offering innovative solutions for end-users and resellers. In 2008, SingleHop introduced LEAP, an advanced control panel, designed to give customers complete control over their infrastructure. Earlier this year, SingleHop launched the highly successful Tandem Reseller system, which offers resellers enhanced control, greater sales potential, and higher margins.

“Tandem revolutionized the reseller market,” said SingleHop President and CEO Zak Boca. “It was the first to offer the end-user a fully white-labeled control panel. Tandem also gained notoriety amongst web hosters by providing unlimited SSL certificates, among other exclusive offers.” Both systems, LEAP and Tandem, have also been extended to various additional platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Firefox toolbar, and various widgets, making SingleHop a leader in providing complementary tools that expand on the amount of control the end-user has.

With the launch of the Cascade Platform, SingleHop will again redefine the reseller experience by offering the world’s first turn-key cloud reseller system, available under the Tandem Reseller program, with all of the usual perks, including end-user control panels in over 15 languages. Cascade will allow resellers to seamlessly create and manage virtual machines via LEAP, and then have the ability to sell them with fully customized control panels for the end-user through Tandem.

“Adoption of cloud computing technologies by hosting providers has not yet hit a tipping point, because we feel hosting companies haven’t had the necessary components to easily bring a product to market,” Boca said. “We feel that our unique combination of technologies, LEAP, Tandem, and Cascade will change the landscape, and will further enable adoption of cloud computing in the hosting world.”

The cloud hosting reseller system will be launching July 17th around the time of the industry’s annual convention, HostingCon. SingleHop executives are scheduled to speak during two exclusive sessions, July 19th and 20th at 3 pm. Monday’s event is focused on “Reselling the Cloud,” while Tuesday’s is focused on mobile server and cloud management technologies. Entrance is limited to HostingCon participants and media.

The superior virtualization standard – KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) used on the platform guarantees dedicated share of server resources to each website hosted there. “The cloud platform is probably the best thing out there right now – it behaves like a dedicated server by guaranteeing your fair share of space, traffic, CPU, only at a cheaper cost. It is great for small and big sites that want to cut costs while at the same time get a reliable service,” says Nikolay Todorov, Chief Technical Officer of SiteGround.com.

ElasticStack is a turnkey solution which enables service providers to offer cloud server capacity for scalable web hosting and on-demand burst computing. As the web control panel and billing are customized with a company’s branding, “customers have a totally seamless experience from beginning to end,” says ElasticStack.

According to ElasticHosts CEO Richard Davies, “As the use of cloud-based services continues to gain momentum, growing numbers of hosting providers are looking to offer own-brand cloud servers to their customers. Hosting providers and data centre businesses that sense customer demand for cloud can now simply license and deploy our proven technology.”

Davies contends that the speed with which the ElasticStack turnkey cloud solution can be deployed, along with its use of their customers’ own branding, will help businesses implement cloud services more easily.

ElasticHosts has been a cloud provider since 2008 in the U.S. and UK.
