August 8, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider The Planet (http://www.theplanet.com) is preparing for the ‘holiday rush’ with promotions geared towards online retailers, it was announced recently. According to the company, holiday sales are expected to set new records this year. The Planet’s promotions provide the required server and bandwidth to ensure online retailers offer “fast and reliable shopping experiences”.
“Each year holiday sales hit epic records, and we expect these numbers to once again exceed the 2006 record of $26 billion,” explained Steve Kahan, The Planet’s Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. “The competition for fast and uninterrupted service has never been higher. Customers expect a better, faster and more seamless experience every year. To be certain they’re prepared, we advise customers to plan now.”
The Planet refers to “How SMBs Can Increase eCommerce Revenue and Decrease IT Costs” - a white paper recently published by Frost & Sullivan’s Stratecast Partners – which makes suggestions to online retailers regarding how to cater with demands on resources. The white paper recommends retailers “accommodate customers with an IT infrastructure that guarantees each visitor with a seamless shopping experience”. Suggestions also include “redundant and highly scalable web servers; physical and cyber security; and sufficient bandwidth to prevent access congestion and ensure rapid response times”.
The Planet’s four promotions comprise “Ready-To-Go Servers”, “Double Down”, “Unmetered Bandwidth” and “Lowest Hosting Price on The Planet”. Ready-To-Go Servers can be operational in just one hour and offer a choice of three processors (Pentium 4, Conroe 3060 or Dual Xeon), Red Hat Linux operating system alongside the cPanel control panel. Double Down offers server tuning with twice the RAM, hard-drive space or bandwidth through the end of August. Unmetered Bandwidth gives The Planet’s customers gain unlimited access to a 10Mbps or 20Mbps uplink from the company’s seven Tier-1 providers. The Lowest Hosting Price on The Planet promotion is a guarantee that The Planet will beat competitor pricing by 10 percent “simply by providing the competitor’s invoice”.
