Web Hosting Semi-Dedicated Servers Included, by SSA Host
20.11.2008 08:24
thehostingnews.com
Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - November 20, 2008 - Web hosting company, providing shared and Virtual Private Server (VPS) solutions, SSA Host, is offering a bridge hosting solution between traditional virtual hosting and dedicated servers, with its new Semi-Dedicated server product line. Kristopher Jordy, owner of SSA Host parent company Sirkels and Squares Alternative noted, ''Semi-Dedicated hosting introduces an attractive alternative for clients who might normally seek a low-end dedicated server or high-end VPS. With our Semi-Dedicated plans, we're targeting clients who don't need to modify their Linux kernel but do want the relative security of a private hosting environment. Beyond the cost-savings of a Semi-Dedicated server, the technology also reduces our carbon footprint by further maximizing the resource utilization of each piece of hardware. It's 'green' technology, and it's good business.'' By minimizing the number of clients hosted on each node and maximizing system resource allotments per user, Semi-Dedicated servers use virtualization technology to offer a high-end virtual private server hosting solution that can be likened to a powerful dedicated server, without the increased costs. The hardware base of each Semi-Dedicated server node is comprised of enterprise-class technology, with dual core, dual processors, RAID 10 data storage configurations, and the Virtuozzo virtualization technology. The Semi-Dedicated hosting plan, which offers two configurations, starts at $109.99 monthly for 50GB of disk space, 500GB of monthly data transfer, and hardware with guaranteed 768MB of RAM (burstable to 2560MB of RAM). Clients can choose between datacenters in Los Angeles, Calif., and Dallas, Texas. In addition to Semi-dedicated servers, SSA Host provides Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, Virtual Private Servers, Dedicated Servers, Hosted Exchange, Server Monitoring, Linux-based Shared hosting and Reseller hosting. Launched in 2006 by parent company Sirkels and Squares Alternative, SSA Host is a provider of Internet solutions for small and medium sized businesses. It offers a range of hosting and management services, including Shared hosting, Reseller hosting, Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers.

New diamond dialysis implant works at ordinary blood pressures
20.11.2008 06:18
b4uindia.com
Scientists have made a new kind of filter from a series of diamond layers that can be implanted inside the body to work as a dialysis machine. William Fissell at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and colleagues at the University of Michigan have revealed that each layer of the filter only allows molecules below a certain size to pass through, and an electric field keeps away larger proteins that would otherwise clog its pores. The researchers say that these features make the filter more effective at removing toxic molecules from the blood stream than conventional membranes, reports New Scientist magazine. Fissell says that the diamond device is so small that it can be implanted into the body. The novel device even works at ordinary blood pressures, he adds. (ANI)

O Ecotextiles' message is that being an "organic textile" means not just that a fabric uses organic fibers in the yarn, but that every step of the production process has been certified eco-friendly.

World's Oldest Cognac for $6,000 a Shot
20.11.2008 12:33
journeys.luxist.com
Filed under: Cigars, Journeys, SpiritsThe luxe Lanesborough Hotel in London has just acquired the world's oldest bottle of cognac, distilled in 1770, and is offering it to patrons of their plush Library Bar (above) for £4,000, or about $6,000, per shot. That's considerably more than the ultra-expensive Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum cognac my colleague Lisa Palladino wrote about last summer, which cost $2,500 per shot. In addition to the 240-year-old tipple, the Lanesborough, a St. Regis property, just installed a new walk-in cigar humidor, the first of its kind in a London hotel. The humidor houses 1,000 cigars and contains 25 private lockers for the personal collections of top patrons, who can enjoy Cuban and even pre-Castro smokes in the hotel's posh Garden Room.[via JustLuxe]World's Oldest Cognac for $6,000 a Shot originally appeared on Luxist on Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:02:00 EST.
