Ksplice Uptrack used by 040Hosting PDF Print

040 Hosting uses Ksplice040 Hosting uses Ksplice Uptrack to keep their servers up to date with the latest kernel updates; by utilizing Ksplice Uptrack services on our 040 Hosting Shared, 040 Hosting Semi-Dedicated and 040 Hosting Reseller services we do not need to rebooted at each kernel update; but we will be using this new technology to give our users the most uptime and the least inconvience possible while keeping our servers as much up to date as possible.

About Ksplice technology
Today, every mainstream operating system requires regular reboots in order to be up to date and secure.  Since reboots cause downtime and disruption, people are forced into the uncomfortable dilemma of choosing between security and convenience.

Any delay in patching software problems—even a delay of just a few days to arrange for downtime—can have serious consequences.  Within just six days after the announcement of the Linux sys_prctl vulnerability, many servers had been compromised, including an important server for the Debian distribution.

Ksplice enables running systems to stay secure without the disruption of rebooting.  Specifically, Ksplice creates rebootless updates that are
based on traditional source code patches.  These updates are as effective as traditional updates, but they can be applied seamlessly, with no downtime.

Ksplice currently supports updating the Linux kernel, but the Ksplice  technology applies to any operating system or to user space applications.

040 Hosting Improves Design and Navigation of Website PDF Print

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS – December 17, 2008 – 040 Hosting, a web hosting company and Internet solutions provider, today launched a completely redesigned company website. The changes are the latest steps in the company’s ongoing efforts to upgrade and improve the functionality of its services in order to continue to provide the best possible online experience for its customers.

The new design offers improved navigation and clearer messaging to visitors, making shopping at the www.040hosting.eu website easier and more appealing to customers, according to company representatives. In keeping with the company’s customer-friendly reputation, the site continues to offer a clean, intuitive look and feel. Changes have also been made to the site’s navigation bars — both the top and left-hand navbars have been streamlined for a much more simplified browsing experience.
The updated look was designed to assist the company’s branding efforts and to emphasize the fact that, while 04 Hosting has been around for almost 5 years, the company still has a comprehensive vision for the future and remains a competitive player in today’s highly competitive online solutions and web hosting markets.

Arriving on the heels of other big news for 040 Hosting — including the introduction of a new Business Special Hosting Service (SH) is designed specially for businesses who require more than the standard hosting packages at a certain time. With the current volatile market situation, 040 Hosting aims to support customers who need to have the flexibility in their hosting solution to react to change faster than ever before. Whether they are looking for additional hosting for an online campaign or temporary additional storage at 1TB or more, 040 Hosting aims to satisfy their need on-demand.

All servers are setup within 1 day (often less than 4 hours setup time) with coverage of our professional infrastructure, even for a short period of time. It is the most cost-effective service in its kind, as mentioned by company representative.

‘If you’re not growing in this marketplace, you’re losing ground,’ said Patrick Sanders, owner of 040 Hosting. ‘We’re very proud to have had more than 5 years of success and growth in an extremely competitive industry, where most companies don’t last more than a few years. However, we also understand the need to continually update our products and services to keep up with a rapidly changing online marketplace ‘

‘These new changes do just that, as well as help to ensure that our online business customers have every possible advantage in an increasingly unpredictable economy,’ added Mr. Sanders. We’ve worked hard this year to improve every aspect of our business. During the first part of 2008, we’ve completely rebranded our shared and dedicated hosting services, introduced eCommerce functionality to our web design service. In addition to implementing a host of other upgrades designed to represent our commitment to continued growth and improvement in this new online marketplace.’
