06/16/2008 - Webair Unveils New Custom Virtual Hosting Platform VSYS
NEW YORK, NY – Since 1996 WEBAIR has been committed to offering the best possible web hosting hosting services available. In the always changing online marketplace, the needs of clients evolve quickly and transitions take place. Now, after more than a decade in the Hosting business, Webair is proud to unveil it’s greatest and most flexible hosting option ever, the VSYS virtual hosting system!
Over the years Webair has assisted many clients in growing their businesses from small start-ups into industry leading brand names. That experience has made it clear that Hosting systems need to be scalable if it they are intended to best serve its customers. The WEBAIR VSYS® virtual hosting system is the perfect platform to handle continuous growth because it allows you to seamlessly add storage, bandwidth, additional IP addresses and other elements of capacity to your site as you succeed in surpassing the many milestones of online success.
“The new VSYS® hosting platform offers unparalleled security and reliability in a shared hosting environment. A traditional host will share resources between all of the users making it increasingly difficult to properly secure. This is especially true considering the fast paced evolution of web hosting software and technologies we work with today. Our technology takes a slightly different approach by assigning each virtual hosting client their own apache instance. All apache applications and modules natively run as this distinct user, eliminating the need for complicated security and per-user or per-site configuration mechanisms.” said Michael Christopher, President & COO of Webair. “While some hosting companies struggle to keep up with the demanding challenges and changing technologies of virtual webhosting environments, Webair embraces them and our pioneering new VSYS® virtual hosting technology platform proves it.”
Your virtual account with Webair can be easily upgraded to make use of dedicated servers, load balanced clusters and even CDN hosting with little or no downtime. That gives you the flexibility to start with an inexpensive virtual hosting account and expand as you grow to thousands of servers while retaining the same control panel, login/passwords, web site paths, software versions, and even the same IP address!
Whether you are a certified IT expert needing detailed system specs or a novice webmaster with questions, Webair can accommodate your needs. Visit www.webair.com so that a representative can take the time to demonstrate what VSYS can do for you and your business. After all, being a great Host is what they do best.

12/15/2005 - Webair Builds New Network in Amsterdam
Webair, whose secure and affordable hosting options have kept webmasters in good stead since 1996, now has a network in Amsterdam.
This latest development will be of particular interest to businesses with marketing strategies targeting European traffic. The new Webair network reduces latency to nearly zero, a far cry from the 80ms of latency needed to get from Europe to any site hosted in North America.
The new network utilizes fully-redundant Cisco and Juniper routing equipment; it connects to multiple upstream providers and supports peering as well. Webair also owns transport between its Amsterdam network and its North American network. This way, traffic connecting with servers at both locations stays on Webairs network, maintaining the highest performance and route optimization.
Now with a presence in both Europe and North America, Webair is an attractive offshore backup option for companies located on either continent. Their backup technology, which utilizes Webair’s international network, ensures offshore backups are completed quickly and reliably.
President, Michael Christopher is pleased with the companys expansion: "From the beginning, Webair was created by webmasters for webmasters. By offering connectivity and hosting services in Amsterdam, we give our clients the ability to succeed in a global economy."
Thanks to an exclusive partnership with one of the top hardware suppliers in the Netherlands, new servers can be built quickly, and most often with same-day turnaround time. The technical staff is on-site 24/7, and consists entirely of experienced professionals who have been trained to maintain the high level of service and support that has always been applauded by Webair’s client base.
The Amsterdam network can accommodate Virtual Hosting as well. It’s the best of both worlds. Clients enjoy the long-standing benefits of Webair’s current hosting platform, coupled with the added value of having their servers physically located in Amsterdam. Supporting services, such as SQL and backups, are local to the servers, and clients can continue to use their existing Webair control panel to administrate accounts located in Amsterdam. Functions such as, automatic server reboots, Site/FTP/SQL/Backup/account management, and many others, will operate normally.
