Chicago, IL: April 16, 2009: Chicago-based managed web-hosting provider, SingleHop, today announced the release of its Private Network offering. The Private Network allows customers to have inter-server and non-public network connectivity at speeds of up to 1Gbps, in a fully secured environment.  In addition, the servers can communicate in Jumbo frames, where packets can have sizes of up to 9,000 bytes, increasing transfer speeds significantly.
