Landing Holdings Acquires Hosting Zoom

October 22nd, 2008

In a shock acquisition for many in the web hosting industry.  Landing Holdings, Inc  has acquired Hosting Zoom.  The deal also includes Reseller Zoom and modVPS, divisions of Hosting Zoom. 

Landing Holdings, Inc provide high-quality Internet hosting solutions and business services and is the company behind service providers such as JaguarPC and WOWVPS.

Existing customers of Hosting Zoom can now look forward to accessing compelling technologies from Landis Holding companies such as JaguarPC. Hosting Zoom, a privately held company also based in Houston, TX and best known for its clustered failover technology, believes the outcome immediately gives its customers additional benefits. One example is JaguarPC’s enterprise license for R1Soft Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which offers one of the highest levels of data protection in the industry for its hosting customers. 

“We are proud to welcome the users of Hosting Zoom, Reseller Zoom and modVPS to the family,” says Greg Landis, president of Landing Holdings. “There will be zero impact to how existing customers conduct their business. We want to simply turn our focus inwards and look to invest in increasing support and development personnel imeediately.     JaguarPC and Hostingzoom are already profitable so the goals are simple moving forward, leave what works alone and bring extra equipment online now in anticipation of the greater demand.”

”Since day one our commitment has been to quality and this acquisition safeguards that commitment.” Says Kiet Duong, form CEO of Hosting Zoom and the new CIO for Landis Holdings. “Hosting Zoom customers can now look forward to enjoying a host of benefits including onsite personnel at the datacenter that will be able to respond more quickly to server issues. Increased support and development staff will further enhance customer service levels and accelerate production of new technologies. And since our companies use the same datacenters and infrastructure there is no need for any type of migration or transfer resulting in no risks for our customers.”

Is it down or is it just me?

This is probably old news for a lot of users on this site, but I stumbled across this really handy little site - Is it down or is it just me? its a great little site for finding out whether your server is down for everyone or just you.

You simply enter in the desired url address, the program will let you know if the problem is at your computer’s end or a general problem with the website. The response is rapid and straightforward letting you know if “It’s just you” or whether is down for everyone.  Its a great tool for website owners to use before contacting their web hosting company’s support department.
