Got Web Host Offers Dedicated IP's with Hosting Plans

Got Web Host, a web hosting provider, today announced that it is offering something rarely found in the web hosting world, dedicated IP's on all hosting plans. This includes all of our Virtual hosting plans, whether an SEO web hosting plan or a high-bandwidth plan.

Bruce Clay observed that although only 3% of web sites are on dedicated IP's, well over 90% of the top-50 results in the search engines are sites having dedicated IP numbers. They confirmed this by moving a site from a shared IP to a dedicated IP and noticed "significant ranking increases."

The comany provides SEO web hosting plans for companies concerned with host crowding penalties associated with search engine optimization. The also offer Multiple Class C IPs to their users. Many companies specializing in SEO have requested or searched for hosting that provided this type of service, we bring it to you with many different packages.

Got Web Host the SEO web host plans include the following features:
- High Bandwidth Virtual hosting with up to 10 GB of storage and 800 GB of transfer.
- Standard Value Servers with dedicated servers beginning as low as $149 a month.
- SEO Starter web hosting plan with two datacenters, 2 nameservers, 2 Class C IPs.
- Virtual SEO web hosting plans ranging up to 30 IPs, 15 individual Class C IPs and multiple or private nameservers. Multiple data centers are available.
- Dedicated SEO server plans with up to 50 IPs, with up to 10 individual Class C Subnets and multiple private nameservers.
- Customized packages with up to 80 Class C subnets are available upon request.
- Streaming dedicated hosting plans with either BTN or multi-tier one lines.

Director of Business Development, Lloyd Brown, said, "Got Web Host has always provided dedicated IP's on all of our plans. With the recent influx of hosting companies jumping on the 'SEO web hosting' bandwagon, we felt it was time to remind people of one of the big differences between us and the competition. It is easy to understand why a Web host would share IP's among their customers. If you do not share your IP's, you are limited as to how many customers you can have. We decided early on that we were more concerned with providing true SEO friendly web hosting, and sharing IP's just does not fit that model."

Tanya Martin, Director of Marketing and Support, added, "Since the inception of Got Web Host's unique SEO friendly hosting, several companies have sprung up in an attempt to imitate us. The primary problem is that these companies know that webmasters are seeking SEO friendly web hosting, and multiple Class C IP's but they do not really understand why. As a result, they do things like selling hosting plans with multiple Class C's, but they share the IP's with multiple customers. This is not a very good buy for the webmaster and can be hazardous as far as search engine optimization is concerned."

Colocation Web Hosting Provider, Zogmo.com, Selected to Host Med DataLink

October 19, 2007

Server colocation and hosting services company, Zogmo.com, has completed the rewrite of Med DataLink's Patient Care System from its former web site. Zogmo is also providing Med DataLink with fully managed colocation services, and local Internet and backup services.

Zogmo is also managing nearly all of Med DataLink's technology needs, as well as providing complete code development services. The entire process reportedly took nearly nine months as Zogmo worked with Med DataLink to completely revamp the old system by rewriting the code and overhauling the site's old processes. Med DataLink's old web hosting provider couldn't provide the performance the company needed, or the security to comply with the latest HIPPA requirements.

Linn Boyd, Vice President of Operations at Zogmo remarked, ''For companies like Med DataLink, their Web site may be the only opportunity that the organization has to make contact with its customers. We take very seriously our commitment to making certain our clients' systems are available when their customers need to access it.''

Med DataLink needed their applications to be co-located on servers in a highly secure facility. The servers are located in the same building as Med DataLink's offices, and also have redundant electric power, multiple load-balanced fiber-optic Internet service providers, and redundant real-time data backup systems.

Craig Schweitzer, Executive Director for Med DataLink added, ''The migration of our system and servers - which included a total redesign of our web site - to the Zogmo data center in Houston, went off without a single hitch. Obviously, we cannot afford a major downtime. From the redundant power systems, environmental controls, multiple ISP feeds to the redundant data storage and 24-hour data center support, they've got us covered. With the exception of scheduled server maintenance, we have had a 99.99 percent up time with Zogmo. They promised this before we started and they're still delivering it.''

Med DataLink provides provide HIPAA-compliant data management solutions for referring physicians/practitioners, rendering service providers, supervising clinicians and interpreting physicians. Med DataLink was formerly known as neurosentinel.com.

Recently, Zogmo entered into a contract to host Screen Imaging Technology's ScreenSeis and JavaSeis systems, in Zogmo's data center, located in downtown Houston. Zogmo is providing SITI with a datacenter infrastructure that provides capacity for 624 processor cores in a single rack. SITI provides 3-D wave, equation-based prestack time/depth imaging services and software for oil companies and other service providers, as well as seismic imaging services for oil/gas exploration and production companies. To be effective, the technology requires significant processing power from a cluster of servers.

Founded in 2005, Zogmo is a Houston, Texas-based Internet Service and Colocation Provider. The company offers an array of Fully Managed Hosting solutions, including its Z-Manage service. Z-Manage technicians monitor servers 24/7/365, install and configure server software, and autonomously deploy necessary security updates as they become available.
