Dedicated Server Web Hosting Firm, Hivelocity, Debuts KVM-over-IP Services


Tampa, Florida - (The Hosting News) - April 1, 2008 - Dedicated hosting provider, Hivelocity.net, is offering dedicated KVM-over-IP units to all of its dedicated server accounts, whereby any server can be outfitted with a Lantronix SecureLinx Spider KVM.

Pricing for the new service is $29 per month. Hivelocity is currently promoting this new feature by allowing a dedicated KMV to be installed with $0 setup fee until April 15th. Once the promotion ends a standard $75 setup fee will apply.

KVM-over-IP (keyboard, video, mouse) enables a customer to have 24/7 virtual hands-on console access to their server. KVM is great for anyone that wishes to maintain control of nearly every aspect of their server without having to involve anyone but themselves.

Steve Eschweiler, General Manager at Hivelocity noted, ''Some people rely on our support team for everything, some people like the idea of relying only on themselves. Allowing any server to have permanent KVM-over-IP access will satisfy those customers who crave 100% control of their server.''

Each KVM unit is connected directly to the server and allows non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at any time. Without the need of any additional software, KVM-over-IP enables BIOS-level control of servers and allows up to 8 simultaneous users.

Recently, Hivelocity garnered placement on Inc. Magazine's annual list of fastest growing companies in America. With a three year growth rate of nearly 200% Hivelocity came in at #1834, which ranks as the 6th fastest growing IT Company in Florida. Hivelocity attributes its growth and success to its ability to provide the latest in server technology at a fraction of what the competition charges while consistently remaining atop their 99.9% network uptime guarantee. Hivelocity's most recent server line includes Intel's latest generation of Quad-Core Xeon Harpertown processors. According to WebHostingStuff's objective network uptime tracker, Hivelocity has been very reliable with a 99.98% uptime record over several years. With its new line of energy efficient and cooler running servers Hivelocity's operating costs are sure to decrease which should result in even lower server pricing down the road.

Since 2001, Hivelocity has offered 99.9 percent network uptime, specializing in dedicated web hosting and co-location, providing services to thousands of customers from all over the world.
