ALBERTSON, NY: Exchange My Mail, a full service provider of customized web-based productivity solutions for small-to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and web hosts, has launched its Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS) service, which delivers the advantages of a dedicated server without the hassle and expense of managing a dedicated server in-house.

SMBs and web hosts frequently have to pay vendors for space on multiple servers, and lack the flexibility to change plans based on their evolving needs. Exchange My Mail’s VPS solution offers the security, control and functionality of a dedicated server, but with the affordable pricing, simplicity and manageability of a traditional shared hosting account.

Exchange My Mail’s VPS service employs Parallels’ Virtuozzo Containers, a leading Operating System (OS) virtualization solution that creates isolated containers on a single physical server and OS instance. Rather than virtualize a complete set of hardware, Parallels containers virtualizes at the OS level.

Virtuozzo runs all virtual environments on top of a single OS kernel, which is multiplexed to look like multiple Operating Systems. This configuration is ideal for hosting environments, and reduces stress on the OS, allowing customers to use more allocated resources for web sites and applications. Parallels is a global leader in virtualization and automation software.

All Exchange My Mail VPS plans offer 99.99 per cent uptime, off-server backup, a dedicated IP address, unlimited DNS hosting and firewall protection. Plans also include full administrator access and a powerful, easy to use Parallels Plesk  panel for remote management. This allows customers to use their space as they wish, while ensuring that their server is totally isolated from other users. Plans start as low as $39.99 monthly, and are superior to dedicated server solutions in terms of cost, reliability, manageability, “burstability” and flexibility.

VPS services are superior to shared hosting due to:

* Control: With administrative or root access, you can easily modify server configuration files, install applications or modify system software
* Security: Your file system is not accessible or viewable by others
* Isolation: You are fully isolated from other users and actions on the server
* Performance: Resource availability and performance is guaranteed

“What’s unique and particularly helpful about our VPS offering is that a customer can upgrade to a plan with more power, RAM or disc space with a click of a mouse,” said David Grantz, CIO for Exchange My Mail. “We make it cost-effective and simple for SMBs to start and monitor their VPS plan, and make adjustments on the fly as their needs change.”

Exchange My Mail solutions are backed by a 30 day money back and 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee. We operate out of a secure, state-of-the-art Tier3 Data Center and Network Operation Center (NOC) that is fully N+1 redundant.
