NephoScale Offers Free Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage Starter Package
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2011
NephoScale is making it easier to get hands-on with its cloud infrastructure services with a Cloud Computing and Storage Starter Package that gives new users a free 256MB cloud server and up to 1GB of cloud storage for one year. The Starter Package can be used to run applications, launch new ones into the cloud, test existing ones in a cloud environment, and back up or host data files. It also serves as a barrier-free way to get acquainted with NephoScale’s unique CloudScript programmatic interface for quickly deploying and managing cloud infrastructures.
New users can sign up for the free package by clicking here: cloud computing and cloud storage starter package.
“The industry is still in the stage where organizations are doing homework on cloud infrastructure services and this starter package will allow them to become familiar with our services without having to dip into their wallets,” said Bruce Templeton, CEO of NephoScale. “We’re giving users both a cloud server and cloud storage so they can create a real-world computing environment where they can host applications or websites, and take full advantage of the NephoScale portal, API and CloudScript technology.”
NephoScale’s Free Cloud Computing and Storage Starter Package provides users with:
750 hours per month usage of a cloud server with .25GB RAM and 10GB persistent storage
10GB of inbound Internet transfer to the starter cloud server instance per month
10GB of outbound Internet transfer from the starter cloud server instance per month
1GB data store in the NephoScale object-based cloud storage service
10,000 GET requests in object-base cloud storage per month
1,000 PUT requests in object-based cloud storage per month
1GB of inbound Internet transfer to object-based cloud storage per month
1GB of outbound Internet transfer from object-based cloud storage per month
CentOS 5.5 64-bit (base image) and Ubuntu Server 10.04 64-bit (base image) operating systems are available for use on the free cloud server. NephoScale cloud services are designed to be easily self-managed; however, basic systems administrator skills are needed to use them.
NephoScale’s infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offerings include Cloud Servers, On-Demand Dedicated Servers and Object-Based Cloud Storage – all powered by the CloudScript programmatic interface that enables users to provision and manage all aspects of their cloud infrastructure using a single API submission.

PacificHost Adds Free CloudFlare CDN to Hosting service
Burbank, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2011
CloudFlare accelerates and protects websites utilizing multiple methods. CloudFlare has proxy servers located throughout the world. The The servers are used to cache content and deliver it to the visitor closest to the nearest proxy server to ensure that website speeds are increased for the visitor. Additionally CloudFlare uses data from Project Honey Pot and other third party sources to identify malicious traffic and stop attacks and spammers from visiting the website.
PacificHost is offering CloudFlare for free in its hosting service. The service integration allows PacificHost customers to login to their control panel and after a few clicks be up and running using the CloudFlare CDN on their website.
"We are very excited to add CloudFlare as yet another feature to our hosting service, we are always looking for new ways to improve our hosting service and adding CloudFlare only adds value to our hosting service. CloudFlare has a solid product and we are proud to offer it and the features it provides to our clients.” said PacificHost President & CEO, Thomas Perry.
CloudFlare caches content in the event the server the website is on goes down. PacificHost has been working on making this an even more unlikely event by ensuring that all new servers are provisioned with a Raid 10 array. Raid 10 offers complete redundancy across multiple drives. This ensures that should 1 drive fail the server will remain continue functioning with no unexpected downtime. Furthermore having Raid 10 increases read and write speeds on the server meaning that websites will load faster and files will upload quicker.

Hi, I'm thinking of installing some movie review software on my server for reviewing movies I've watched, and allow other people to comment on the reviews or watch an embedded trailer, and perhaps vote on the movie via a star-rating system or scale (1-10) system. It should be in PHP and easily integrated on my web site. Anyone know of such a beast? Thanks!
