The Planet Delivers Extreme Savings on Unmetered Bandwidth

May 29, 2007; 07:11 AM

HOUSTON – The Planet, now the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced a limited-time promotion on unmetered bandwidth for new server orders. For just $50 per month, customers gain unlimited access to a 10 MB uplink from the company’s multiple Tier-1 providers, along with its 100 percent uptime service level agreement.

With direct connections to the Internet through several Tier-1 telecom providers, The Planet ensures that customers are able to bypass congested transit networks, and shorten the network path between the IT infrastructure and customers or end users. This helps to ensure lower latency, maximum speed and unparalleled reliability.  

“Many of our customers operate high-traffic e-commerce sites, which require high bandwidth availability to ensure peak performance at peak times,” said The Planet’s Director of Product Management Urvish Vashi. “Bandwidth overages are similar to cell phone overages which translate to additional costs for customers. The Planet delivers a ‘no surprise guarantee’ with unmetered bandwidth at a nominal price, which enables SMB customers to prepare for seasonal or unexpected spikes in traffic.”

For more information on the unmetered bandwidth special, please visit http://www.theplanet.com/unmetered-bandwidth?utm_campaign=ZPHONOOA.  The unmetered bandwidth offer will be available until midnight on Tuesday, June 12, or while capacity is available.
