( The Hosting News ) – DNS Made Easy announces the release of ShowMyHost.com. ShowMyHost is a free tool that administrators can use to help do their daily tasks and is available for free for all administrators around the world.  This new tool is offered by Tiggee LLC, the creators of DNS Made Easy. 

ShowMyHost (www.showmyhost.com) is a tool for network and DNS administrators to find the web hosting provider, DNS provider, and mail hosting provider of a specific website on the internet. This new tool offered by DNS Made Easy is only one of many others now available online including ReverseDNSTrace (reversednstrace.com) and IPv6Verify (ipv6verify.com).

DNS Made Easy has stated that some of the most common support related questions asked by clients involve requests for hosting company information for their website.

“Hosting services on the internet can be bought and resold several times over. There is a real need for tools like this one.“ states Bryan Hughes, Vice President of System Operations at Tiggee. “Often, web hosting services are set up once and then no one accesses the account for extended periods of time until there is a need to reconfigure something. Suddenly, no one remembers who hosts their website!”

DNS Made Easy first deployed the tool DNS Made Easy support representatives who would then provide clients with the correct hosting information for their domain. The whois listing for a domain displays authoritative name server information about a domain and this caused clients to mistake DNS Made Easy as a web hosting company when they viewed this information. In order to alleviate some of the confusion, DNS Made Easy decided to go public with this tool and provide it to the Internet community free of charge. Now, whether your organization has switched hosting companies, hired a new administrator, or simply needs to update your web site for the first time in years: showmyhost.com can point you in the right direction.

More information about the showmyhost.com service is available at www.showmyhost.com.

(The Hosting News) – CLEVELAND, OH – Hosted Solutions, the East Coast’s premier provider of IT infrastructure as a service (IaaS), announced that they have entered into a partnership with the Cavaliers Operating Company, LLC., whereby the Cavaliers will use Hosted Solutions’ Stratus Trusted Cloud(TM) to power the team’s official arena website, theQarena.com.

Because the arena’s website is anticipated to draw much heavier web traffic this year, the Cavaliers selected Hosted Solutions in an effort to increase the availability and robustness of theQarena.com. Reasons for increased traffic include:

– The team and arena recently launched their own single-game primary and
secondary market ticket sales service with Veritix – the industry’s
most cutting edge digital ticketing, event marketing and relationship
management platform. The public is directed to theQarena.com to
purchase tickets to all Quicken Loans Arena events including the
Cavaliers and AHL Lake Erie Monsters.
– The Cavaliers begin their 40th season with a powerful team of proven
players and high expectations and projected record attendance (The
Cavs set two franchise records during the 2008-09 season with an
average attendance of 20,512 and the number of sellouts – 38 total.)

– The Q now heads into an entertainment season with a jam-packed
schedule of special events expected to generate record website traffic
levels.

Stratus Trusted Cloud provides the availability needed to handle spikes in traffic at any time. “The upcoming year is sized up to be ‘XL’ in every way, including our fans’ interest in tickets to see the Cavaliers, Lake Erie Monsters, concerts, special events, and family shows,” said Jeff Lillibridge, Web Services Director. “We feel the scalability and dependability of Hosted Solutions’ Stratus Trusted Cloud is a perfect match to support our needs, which in turn allows us to provide our fans the level of service they deserve.”

Introduced earlier this year, Stratus Trusted Cloud dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications for small and mid-sized enterprises. Stratus offers a massively scalable, multi-tenant infrastructure that enables customers to access a secure, enterprise-class cloud environment with built-in high availability and automated resource balancing. As a result, businesses can move faster without compromising availability or security and significantly reduce both their capital and operating expenditures, whether Stratus is deployed on an enterprise, private or hybrid cloud basis. Moreover, Stratus is designed to provide an added level of assurance to companies that their data and entire infrastructure is being administered in a trusted manner, acting in accordance with a full range of governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) regulations.

“The demand for an ‘always on’ IT environment is not unique to the Cleveland Cavaliers,” said Rich Lee, Hosted Solutions’ founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Any company doing business online requires the highest degree of reliability; even a short amount of downtime in this competitive economy can hurt significantly. The Cavaliers’ decision to deploy the Stratus Trusted Cloud for their arena website confirms its value for firms seeking a reliable, consistent and secure approach to ensuring that their website is up and running when they, and their customers, need it most.”

Lee added that several other companies have chosen the Stratus Trusted Cloud in the last several months. He noted that 80 percent of Hosted Solutions’ clients run their production environments through his firm, a further testament to the superior level of performance delivered by the Hosted Solutions team.
