Web Host 1&1 Unveils New Data Center

Posted by Webhost - 31/01/07 at 01:01 am

1&1 Internet, Inc. (1&1), the world’s largest Web-hosting company, today announced the operation of its new Lenexa, Kansas

Data Center and unveiled its new line of dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS) that will be housed in this

state-of-the-art facility.

The Lenexa Data Center’s central location in the U.S. creates a smooth, low latency connection for the North American

continent. The center also has excellent fiber-optic connectivity to several ISPs, high redundant capacity and is capable of

routing thousands of Terabytes per month without any data jams. These, and other, features enable 1&1 to guarantee its

network a more than 99.99 percent uptime. In addition, security features such as redundant steel-reinforced walls, backup

diesel generators; custom FE-25 protection and much more ensure that the servers will continue to operate regardless of

external conditions. The 1&1 data center’s connectivity and security capacities make it possible for the company to unveil

its new dedicated and VPS line and grow past its current 38,000 global servers.

1&1’s dedicated servers include dual and quad core servers, all fully-equipped with the latest hardware from AMD. Customers

can select a root, managed or Windows server to determine the dedicated server solution that best suits their needs. Other

features include up to 8 GB RAM and a Plesk 100 license.

The VPS are an ideal server solution for those who have outgrown a shared hosting plan but aren’t quite ready for a dedicated

server. 1&1 VPS are partitioned servers that enable each partition to function as a virtual server dedicated to a single

customer. These servers are partitioned in such a way that each server operates almost independently of the other accounts

that share the server.

“Since 1&1 sold out servers in October 2006, this new line of servers is a welcome and much requested addition,” said Andreas

Gauger, Chairman, 1&1 Internet. “While the dedicated servers continue to be ideal for the professional that wants exclusive

control and maximum power, the VPS solutions will appeal to those who seek greater control than with a regular hosting plan

and need the flexibility of a root server to install their own security and software. In this regard, our new range of VPS is

filling the gap between the full power of a dedicated server and the 1&1 shared hosting plans.”
