A2 Hosting Adds cPanel 11 (September 29, 2008) - Linux web hosting company A2 Hosting (a2hosting.com) has improved its managed, dedicated hosting packages, equipping every account with the cPanel 11 control panel for no additional charge.
According the A2 Hosting's announcement Monday, cPanel will provide a full-feature control panel that makes it easy for even inexperienced webmasters to manage domains, email, files, FTP, CGI scripts, backups and more.
Fantastico is also included within cPanel for dedicated account subscribers who want a script that automatically installs a wide range of web software including blogs, forums and shopping carts.
"We are very excited about our decision to revamp these popular packages and create a well rounded dedicated hosting experience that includes cPanel at no extra charge," A2 Hosting CEO Bryan Muthig said in a statement. "Hosting customers will love the new features included with these accounts, all starting at a very reasonable price point."
Since August, managed, dedicated hosting customers have had the option of adding A2's Server Rewind data protection, which automatically creates reliable point-in-time "snapshot" data backups of servers and sites every few hours.
A2 Hosting announced another improvement in early September, that would benefit customers and the public at large. The company launched "FutureServe Green Hosting," a 'green' initiative that includes buying carbon offsets, encouraging telecommuting and increasing data center energy efficiency.
A2 Launches Green Initiative (September 10, 2008) - Web hosting company A2 Hosting (a2hosting.com) announced on Tuesday it has recently launched FutureServe Green Hosting (a2hosting.com/services/green-hosting).
The 'green' initiative helps to further A2 Hosting's role in protecting and improving ecological conditions for current and future generations, says the company.
"We decided to develop FutureServe because we felt it was the best way to reduce our environmental impact and continue to act as a responsible business," says Bryan Muthig, CEO of A2 Hosting. "We are very excited to provide FutureServe to our customers to do our part to ensure a healthy environment for future generations."
The company's FutureServe initiative comprises of three main divisions. First, A2 Hosting has partnered with carbon offsetting organization CarbonFund (carbonfund.org), which enables the web host to offset server carbon emissions while contributing to CarbonFund projects like reforestation and the development of renewable, efficient energy.
Second, A2 Hosting participates in environmentally friendly practices, which include telecommuting to reduce carbon emissions from daily commutes, the recycling of older hosting equipment, and eliminating the use of paper towels, styrofoam cups and plastic cups in its office.
Finally, the company says it uses a range of energy efficient hosting equipment, including low voltage Xeon processors, power efficient DDR2 memory and power saving hard drives.
Web hosting provider Hostivia also launched a new 'green' initiative a couple weeks ago to lower its environmental impact, outlining its use of energy efficient servers and purchasing energy from solar panel-powered Nevada Power.
Ann Arbor, Michigan-based A2 Hosting offers a range of Linux based web hosting services, while supporting technologies such as PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, and MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
Last month, FutureServe released its new data backup technology called Server Rewind that automatically creates "snapshot" backups of a client's server and site every few hours.
A2 Hosting Launches New Site (July 31, 2008) - Web hosting provider A2 Hosting (a2hosting.com) announced on Tuesday it has launched its new website this week.
The new website further emphasizes A2 Hosting's goal to "offering developer friendly shared, reseller, VPS and managed dedicated hosting packages, as well as a number of other complementary services all at affordable prices."
"It was clear that our existing website was not effectively communicating what sets us apart from our competition," says A2 Hosting CEO Bryan Muthig. "We are excited about our new site because it allows us to prominently exhibit these features."
Other improvements to the website include introducing an unmetered Executive shared hosting package as well as A2 Hosting's new Server Rewind backup software (a2hosting.com/services/server-rewind-data-protection), which is offered free to all current and new shared and reseller customers.
The new site also includes an introduction to the A2 Hosting Difference (a2hosting.com/about/) which is a selection of new web hosting services, such as access to Guru Crew support staff.
The Ann Arbor, Michigan based A2 Hosting provides a range of services including web hosting for businesses of all sizes. The company supports a wide range of Internet technologies including PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
A2 Hosting announced in May that it is offering Zend Framework hosting on its web servers, and will provide current and future customers with access to Zend Framework hosting support.
