Glasgow, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - February 9, 2009 - Dedicated managed hosting provider, iomart, has been awarded the ‘ Best Managed Hosting Provider’ designation for the month of February, in addition to being nominated for its network computing capabilities.

This is the second time within the past 3 months that iomart hosting has received this accolade, having previously won the award in December. This award follows the recent announcement that iomart hosting has received formal recognition in the categories of ‘Service Provider of the Year’ and ‘Network Project of the Year’ for its work with Onhotels.com, at this year’s Network Computing Awards.

Sarah Haran, Managing Director at iomart noted, ”We are extremely pleased to have been recognised by Dedicated Server Directory as the UK’s Best Managed Hosting Company for the second time in recent months. As the awards are based upon online public voting we feel very pleased that our managed hosting services are being recognised in this way.”

iomart, the managed hosting and data centre services company, has also been shortlisted in two categories at this year’s Network Computing Awards.
The company has received formal recognition in the categories of ‘Service Provider of the Year’ and ‘Network Project of the Year’ for its work with Onhotels.com.

Ms. Haran added, ”I am delighted that we have been nominated as a finalist in two categories in this year’s Network Computing awards. It is particularly pleasing to have received a nomination in the Network Project of the Year category, as this recognises the expertise and professionalism that iomart displays when managing business critical infrastructures for its clients.”

Onhotels.com selected iomart as their managed hosting partner when it decided to rebrand from HotelsRus.com and relaunch in the summer of 2008.

Previously, Onhotels.com website and databases were hosted with a data centre provider in Italy, running on expensive high-spec servers. iomart designed a managed hosting service that not only provided a more cost effective solution, but delivered customers of Onhotels.com with hotel booking searches and transactions four times faster than before - with a significant boost in revenues for the company as a result.

Doug Anderson, Technical Director, Onhotels.com remarked, ”Our business is selling hotels throughout the world online - if our website is down we don’t get any business, and as well as the immediate problems that would cause, there are also long-term repercussions for users who might otherwise have been repeat customers. iomart’s service gives us nothing but complete confidence. For me the most important thing is how much the performance of the website has improved, which has been of immediate benefit to our business.”

The Network Computing Awards provide readers of Britain’s longest running networking publication with the chance to recognise the products, services and companies that have most impressed them. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner which will take place on the 19th March 2009 at the Tower Hotel in London.

Founded in 1998, iomart is recognised as one of Europe’s largest and most experienced managed hosting companies. The company holds a unique position within the marketplace. By owning its own data centre and network infrastructure, it is able to deliver the complete set of vertical components in the hosting arena from managing single servers through to the design and build of complex multi application environments.

Tampa, Florida - (The Hosting News) - February 9, 2009 - Dedicated hosting provider, Hivelocity.net, has been named ‘Best Dedicated Windows Host,’ as the third hosting award the company has received in the last year for its dedicated Windows servers.

WebHostDir collects thousands of votes each month on a range of hosting services. Each month a winner is announced based on the sum of votes in each category.

Hivelocity attributes the numerous Windows hosting awards it has received to the wide range of Microsoft products offered as well as its ability to provide superior support on these products. As an official Microsoft Service Provider, Hivelocity enables customers to efficiently run any Microsoft based application. By partnering with Hivelocity customers are able to lower their operating costs by taking full advantage of Hivelocity’s Microsoft partner pricing. Rather than purchasing expensive software like MSSQL themselves, customers can lease this software from Hivelocity for a fraction of the cost. Hivelocity also offers and has extensive expertise with several Windows based control panels like Plesk, HostingController and Hsphere.

In addition to its three Windows hosting awards over the last year, Hivelocity was also named Web Host Magazine’s Editor’s Choice for Best Dedicated Host. Since its inception in 2001, Hivelocity has earned a reputation for being one of the best values in the dedicated hosting sector. With Core2Duo dedicated servers starting at $75 and Quad-Core Xeon dedicated servers starting at $165 they seem to have some of the most competitive pricing around. Considering Hivelocity uses SuperMicro hardware and boasts a 99.98% uptime track record over the last 3 years (stats by Webhostingstuff) while maintaining this great pricing point, these awards seem to be very well deserved.

Hivelocity also garnered placement on Inc. Magazine’s annual list of fastest growing companies in America. With a three year growth rate of nearly 200% Hivelocity came in at #1834, which ranks as the 6th fastest growing IT Company in Florida.

Since 2001, Hivelocity has offered 99.9 percent network uptime, specializing in dedicated web hosting and co-location, providing services to thousands of customers from all over the world.
