Chicago, Illinois - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - November 2, 2007 - Web hosting firm, SingleHop, Inc., has debuted its new Power-Saving-Server Immediate Discount Program, which rewards customers for using its new energy efficient server, inlcuding an immediate 10% discount for each new customer and for all customers that have signed on in the past three months.

SingleHop is equipping its new datacenter with servers that run 30% more efficiently than the industry standard and will consequently share the resulting energy savings with their customers. While most industries have seen great strides in energy efficient technologies, server power technology has been at a literal standstill for close to 30 years. Component manufacturers have focused mainly on increasing speed, with little regard for power consumption. With the few new components now available, SingleHop spent several months assembling components to develop a very power efficient server.

Zak Boca, President of SingleHop remarked, ”Our server should become an industry standard for any hosting provider concerned with reducing power consumption. Server speed is important to us. SingleHop has configured servers based on the highest speed to consumption ratio to insure that we don’t sacrifice speed for power efficiency.”. An example of increased efficiencies can be found in SingleHop’s selection of power supplies that run at 95%+ efficiency as opposed to the industry standard 60%.

Mr. Boca continued, ”Most consumers have no idea what is ‘under the hood’ of their hosting providers’ servers. Our servers will cost approximately 20% more to build, but our power consumption may drop by as much as 30%. The direct effect is a reduced power bill, lighter load on the power grid and increased capacity for growth. This is a good long term move because we don’t know where power costs are going and we will want to minimize our load on the system in the future.”

SingleHop, Inc. is a fully transparent managed dedicated server ISP, located in Chicago, IL. SingleHop was formed to deliver low cost managed IT services for the small to medium enterprises from a central Midwest hub location. The company has capacity for over 2000 servers in one datacenter, with a network powered entirely by Cisco.
