We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Leading web hosting company, www.LCN.com,
today launches a new range of dedicated servers, with the aim of
creating the best priced quad core servers in the UK hosting market.
Launch prices offer customers up to £900 of annual savings, and are
frozen for the lifetime of the server.
Three dedicated server options are available to purchase through the
LCN.com website. The packages offer up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processors, 2X500-Gigabyte RAID1 hard drives, 8 Gigabytes of RAM, 16 ip
addresses, free reboots, and unlimited data transfer. The prices of the
packages range from £44.99 to £143.99 per month.
Mark Boost, Managing Director, LCN.com, said: “The UK dedicated
server market is now in a position where the majority of solutions
on offer are either prohibitively expensive machines, or cheap solutions
with a poor hardware spec. These lower quality options inevitably incur
significant costs due to unreliability and downtime.
“Our dedicated server range will ensure customers have a cost effective
solution without having to compromise on quality. All servers are built
with server class Dell hardware and offer Quad Core Intel Xeon
processors. With a 30 day money back guarantee, no set up fee, and no
minimum contract, customers can get started on one of our dedicated
servers with no risk. “
In January 2009 LCN.com completed the construction of a £2.5 million
state-of-the-art data centre in Hertfordshire. The new dedicated server
range will be housed within this data centre which offers a dedicated
100Mbps connection to each server. Rigorous testing has been undertaken
to ensure the highest levels of performance and efficiency are achieved.
LCN.com has been providing world class web hosting since 2000 and has
become the UK’s largest organically grown web hosting company with over
40,000 hosting customers and over 350,000 domain names registered since
its launch in 2000. For more information, visit www.LCN.com
