123Together.com – a mindSHIFT Technologies company and the leading provider of hosted, cloud-based email and business collaboration services – is one of the first Microsoft Exchange hosting providers to make Microsoft Outlook 2010 available to organizations free of charge.

Microsoft Outlook is the world’s premier email management software, used by more than 500 million Microsoft Office users.  Outlook 2010 takes business productivity and instant communication to the next level, enabling users to stay in touch at the office, at home and on the road.  Users can better manage long email conversations, share and view multiple calendars at one time, communicate with colleagues and family members live from within Microsoft Outlook and much more.

“Our goal is to help all small and mid-size companies grow their businesses with the most valuable, yet cost-effective, productivity tools,” said William Flynn, 123Together.com general manager.  “We are proud to be able to provide these organizations with immediate access to the world’s leading email software at no cost to them.”

Key features of Microsoft Outlook 2010 include:

Quickly And Easily Manage Email: Outlook 2010’s Conversation View condenses long email chains, eliminating the need to search for all associated responses.  Emails can also be automatically deleted if the user deems the discussion to be unimportant.

Quickly Scan Multiple Calendars At Once: Schedule View combines personal, calendars, business calendars, and resource calendars, letting users conveniently and efficiently manage all aspects of their day.  Frequently used calendars can also be grouped and redisplayed together when needed.

Stay Connected With Co-Workers And Friends: Outlook 2010’s Social Connector is a central source of information on co-workers and friends, pulling data from LinkedIn and other social networks into the Outlook mailbox.  Users can now communicate with others live from within Outlook.

Make Emails Stand Out: New SmartArt pictures, themes, and styles can be easily incorporated into any email with built-in graphics editing tools so the senders’ emails will be more impactful and stand out in a sea of other email messages.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is complementary with the purchase of 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange Server email service. It is available to small and mid-sized organizations for a flat monthly per-user fee. 123Together.com’s suite of enterprise applications also includes hosted SharePoint and CRM, email archiving, encryption, desktop backup, spam filtering, mobile email services and more.  This enables companies of all sizes to take advantage of these online services for a small monthly fee without the need for in-house servers or an onsite technical staff.

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.

A leading government official in Tuvalu claims the nation should be paid more for leasing the use of the .tv top-level domain.

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.

SingleHop, Inc., one of the fastest-growing providers of dedicated servers and complex web hosting solutions, announced the launch of the world’s first cloud hosting reseller system, which will be sold under their Tandem reseller brand.

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.
