Houston -- August 19, 2008 -- The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today launched new promotions that offer discounts on a broad array of dedicated servers and new technologies. Leading the promotional lineup are two of the company’s most popular options: Double Down and Triple Play. Beginning today, customers can double RAM, hard drive disk space or bandwidth at no additional cost on new server orders. Or, they can triple their performance by doubling RAM, hard disk space and bandwidth for a nominal $47 per month.

The company also unveiled new low pricing on select servers. The Xeon 3210 SAS – regularly priced at $249 per month – is now $199, a savings of 20 percent. The Xeon 3210 SATA is now $179 per month, down from $199. Additionally, The Planet is offering the Dual Xeon 2.4 SCSI for $115 per month, a 47 percent discount and its lowest-ever listed price from The Planet. The offer includes free setup, a $25 value.

The Planet is offering a free fifth server for customers who purchase four servers in a Dedicated Private Rack, a complex hosting solution with customizable options for bandwidth, networking and advanced hosting technologies such as load balancers and firewalls. Customers can also receive free setup – a savings of up to $1,000 – when they add a load balancer to any Private Rack or Virtual Private Rack order.

“As customers begin to ramp up their businesses for the fall, these new promotions offer something for everyone, from low single-server pricing to discounts on our advanced Private Rack solution,” said Urvish Vashi, The Planet’s general manager for dedicated hosting. “Along with the quality of our network and data centers, these promotions mean that businesses can gain a significant competitive advantage by outsourcing their IT infrastructure with The Planet.”

The above offers are good through Aug. 31, 2008, or while limited promotional supplies last. For more information, please visit the Web site at www.theplanet.com/dedicated-servers/server-specials.
