LANSING – After recently announcing its expansion into multiple Regions across the United States, Storm On Demand, the cloud hosting arm of managed hosting provider Liquid Web, has made updates that let users work on a variety of operating systems.
Offering the feel of a traditional server with the flexibility and convenience of Cloud Hosting, Storm?s familiar server images will now include Cent OS 6 (6.2), Arch Linux, Ubuntu 11.10 and Debian 6.0 updates.
?Our users are some of the most savvy, dialed-in members of the technology community,? said Liquid Web/Storm On Demand Founder and CEO, Matthew Hill. ?Since our inception, we have kept the lines of communication open between the company as well as users and potential users. In the process of solidifying our reputation as one of the most responsive, approachable and available providers in the market, we have encountered a number of requests that led to the pinpointing of a number of upgrades we wanted to implement within Storm On Demand. I am proud to say that we have responded quickly and directly to those requests with our latest update.?
With the newest, most advanced operating systems available on Storm On Demand, users can expect a higher performance experience from a Cloud Host. All of these updates will include all of the latest features, up-to-date tools, fine-grained controls, user-friendly resources as well as refreshed life and support cycles.
?At Storm On Demand we are constantly working hard to drive down costs for our customers, while simultaneously increasing performance and reliability,? Hill said. ?Last October, we were proud to announce significant price reductions to our bandwidth pricing for all current and future Storm On Demand customers. Customers will not pay for any inbound data transfer. In addition we are slashing our pricing for outbound data transfer from $.15/per Gig to $0.05/per Gig.
?We?ve also lowered the price on our bandwidth bundle options, which now include free incoming bandwidth. Clients who currently have bandwidth bundles will see a reduction in costs, as well as their incoming bandwidth not being deducted from their bundled quota.?
Hill said this means that Storm On Demand customers can upload unlimited amounts of data and not be charged a penny for inbound data transfer. This pricing reduction represents a nearly 80 percent savings over our previous pricing. For example, if you were transferring 10TB inbound and 10TB outbound you will save 78.26 percent. ?
These price reductions are a result of our ongoing network improvements including expanded network capacity and the addition of many important new peering partners. Storm On Demand?s network is now peered with Amazon, Google, Akamai, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook and many more.
By avoiding the tiered pricing plans utilized by other cloud hosting providers, Storm On Demand?s pricing structure empowers our users to generate instant savings by not paying for bandwidth they?re not using and not paying a premium for the bandwidth they are using. Many of these tiered plans require you to use more than 350TB of bandwidth to attain the cheapest outbound bandwidth pricing. Storm On Demand ensures that our users will receive the best pricing on bandwidth, even for low usage.
