1&1 Unveils New High-End Data Center

PHILADELPHIA – 1&1 Internet, Inc. (1&1), the world’s largest Web-hosting company, announced the operation of its new Lenexa, Kansas Data Center and unveiled its new line of dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS) that will be housed in this state-of-the-art facility.

The Lenexa Data Center’s central location in the U.S. creates a smooth, low latency connection for the North American continent. The center also has excellent fiber-optic connectivity to several ISPs, high redundant capacity and is capable of routing thousands of Terabytes per month without any data jams. These, and other, features enable 1&1 to guarantee its network a more than 99.99 percent uptime. In addition, security features such as redundant steel-reinforced walls, backup diesel generators; custom FE-25 protection and much more ensure that the servers will continue to operate regardless of external conditions. The 1&1 data center’s connectivity and security capacities make it possible for the company to unveil its new dedicated and VPS line and grow past its current 38,000 global servers.  

1&1’s dedicated servers include dual and quad core servers, all fully-equipped with the latest hardware from AMD. Customers can select a root, managed or Windows server to determine the dedicated server solution that best suits their needs. Other features include up to 8 GB RAM and a Plesk 100 license.

The VPS are an ideal server solution for those who have outgrown a shared hosting plan but aren’t quite ready for a dedicated server. 1&1 VPS are partitioned servers that enable each partition to function as a virtual server dedicated to a single customer. These servers are partitioned in such a way that each server operates almost independently of the other accounts that share the server.

“Since 1&1 sold out servers in October 2006, this new line of servers is a welcome and much requested addition,” said Andreas Gauger, Chairman, 1&1 Internet. “While the dedicated servers continue to be ideal for the professional that wants exclusive control and maximum power, the VPS solutions will appeal to those who seek greater control than with a regular hosting plan and need the flexibility of a root server to install their own security and software. In this regard, our new range of VPS is filling the gap between the full power of a dedicated server and the 1&1 shared hosting plans.” 

There are three choices for the 1&1 VPS: VPS Level I is $29 per month, includes 10 GB hard disc space, one domain and 500 GB monthly transfer volume; VPS Level II is $39 per month and includes 20 GB, hard disc space, a domain, SSL certificate and 1,000GB of monthly transfer volume and: VPS Level III at $59 per month includes 50 GB hard disc space, SSL certificate, one domain and 2,000 GB monthly transfer volume.

Dedicated server packages starting from $99 per month are considerably less in price than the nearest competitor. All 1&1 shared hosting and VPS packages come with a 90-day money back guarantee.
