Posted by jrianto, 01-08-2009, 05:51 PM FREMONT, Calif., January 8, 2009 â 2ip (http://www.2ip.com), a shared hosting leader serving more than 310,000 Web sites since 1999, announced today the addition of shared hosting services localized in the United Kingdom and Canada.
The new services will be offered alongside existing shared hosting service offered within the United States, and will be attractive for customers seeking a Canadian or United Kingdom based IP address to either optimize local search engine placement or to minimize latency in their geographic region.
âÂÂWeâÂÂve recognized a noticeable increase in signups from customers in Canada and the Untied Kingdom, and there is growing demand for us to replicate our successful United States-based hosting model for other parts of the world,â said Jimmy Tanzil, managing director of Ichthys Media LLC, 2ipâÂÂs parent company. âÂÂOffering localized hosting solutions in other countries allows us to expand to scale and scope of our services, and we foresee this strategy as contributing to our growth in the next two to three years.âÂÂ
2ip will locate its Canadian servers in the iWeb data center in Montreal, Canada. Servers in the United Kingdom will be located in the RapidSwitch data center in Berkshire, U.K. 2ip also plans to add points of presence in a variety of countries in 2009, including China by 2Q 2009.
As part of todayâÂÂs launch announcement, 2ip is offering a limited-time 50% discount on all new orders placed for Canadian or United Kingdom shared hosting. Pricing for each starts at $12.5 USD onetime payment for 2ip Web and $25/year for 2ip Pro (with discount applied). Customers can use the coupon codes UKPROMO and CAPROMO, respectively to receive the promotion. Discounts do not apply to domain name registration or transfer.
