Web Host The Planet Reduces Backup Storage Space Prices

Web host The Planet (http://www.theplanet.com/) has reduced backup storage space prices, it was announced recently. The discounts cover two of the company’s server backup products – EVault and Network Backup – and represent a 50% reduction in prices for both. Alongside the reductions, new orders of both EVault Backup and Network Backup are free for the first 90 days (until September 30, 2008).“Storage and backup are increasingly critical for small- and medium-sized companies, since data loss can actually drive a company out of business,” explained The Planet’s General Manager of Storage and Data Protection, Mr. Rob Walters. “Now any organization can protect data – which can literally mean the difference between success and failure – for as little as $5 per month. At this affordable rate, there’s no excuse to leave critical data unprotected.”

EVault Backup offers “rich backup functionality” while Network Backup “provides archiving space available directly through customer applications and tools”. Both solutions are available in 10GB to 80GB, or “larger capacities for mission-critical environments”.

The Planet caters for more than 22,000 small- and medium-size businesses and 7.7 million websites worldwide. Its Planet Alpha division provides a wide range of self-managed dedicated servers, while its Planet Northstar Managed Hosting division “combines a proactive methodology and seasoned IT experts to deliver a fully managed hosting solution”.
