Leading Irish Hosting Company, LetsHost Partners with R1Soft

DUBLIN, Ireland (February 13, 2009)— Leading Irish Web hosting and domain services provider, LetsHost announced their decision to join the R1Soft Hosting Partner Program (R1HPP), following the successful execution of Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) across their Linux and Windows Agents over the last year and a half. LetsHost offers R1Soft CDP as a free add-on service to all of its 13,000 hosting customers.

R1Soft CDP allows LetsHost to provide a fast, easy-to-use reliable solution with a Web interface that gives customers the sole power to restore and recover their own files without any intervention from the LetsHost technical support team. The next-generation CDP technology brings a number of highly advantageous features, including the ability to restore open files and granular tables in MySQL.

Since LetsHost started providing R1Soft CDP to customers a year and a half ago, it has tremendously benefitted customers who accidentally delete files and need to recover deleted emails, by enabling them to quickly perform restores from databases. With multiple backups per day, a massive improvement from the traditional overnight backup, LetsHost customers can feel confident that their Web site data is always available for quick restoration in the event that there is a system failure.

“Our Web site is a main source of revenue which means that uptime and a reliable hosting provider are critical factors to the success of our business. Between LetsHost’s highly available, dependable support staff and R1Soft’s high-performance backups we feel confident knowing our Web site and business are fully protected,” said Noel McPartlin, Fitness Ireland (http://www.fitnessireland.ie.)

“Current LetsHost customers have already seen the many advantages R1Soft CDP has to offer. R1HPP is designed to supply partners with all of the marketing resources and sales tools required to successfully promote R1Soft CDP as a premium backup service, attract more customers and ultimately generate additional revenue,” said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies.

LetsHost wins the 2007 IEDR Annual Achievement award

Dublin, Ireland, 26 May 2008

The IE Domain Registry (IEDR) has awarded the Annual Domain Registry Achievement Award to LetsHost. As one of Ireland's leading domain registration and web hosting companies, the Award recognises LetsHost as being one of the most significant contributors to the growth and development of dot.ie registrations in the past year.

At a ceremony held a Trinity College, Dublin on Monday 19th May 2008, Directors Graeme Conkie and Daragh MacLoughlin were presented with the award by Eamon Ryan, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. The award consists of a perpetual trophy and a €5000 prize.

At the ceremony, LetsHost Director Graeme Conkie praised the relaxation in the past year of some .ie rules by the IEDR, including the use of the .ie namespace for personal names.

"The relaxation of .ie rules for personal domains has meant a significant growth. Some restrictions still remain but the regulations in place are key to the reputation of the Irish name as one of the safest domains in the world," he added.

Daragh MacLoughlin, Director of LetsHost said: "We are delighted. The IEDR annual achievement accolade comes as an extremely important reward to the work we have done in the past few years to promote the .ie name space. We are very happy to work towards building and promoting the .ie brand and thrilled our work is being recognised by the IEDR. We are looking forward to working with the IEDR in years to come".

LetsHost have adopted new API functions made avaialable by the IEDR to automate the process of .ie domain registrations, and are unique in the market of a dual vetting process that ensures only valid .ie applications are processed to the IEDR. This unique method makes sure that only the highest quality registrations that are more likely to be authorised are sent to the IEDR. If any information is missing form an application, customers are immediately notified and all relevant information can be collected to ensure a smooth and quick domain registration.

A 100% Irish-based company, Letshost.ie is the hosting provider leading the reduction price for .ie domain names and offering the cheapest .ie domains in Ireland (currently only €19.99).

Following the company's extraordinary growth over the past year, Letshost.ie are also delighted to announce the opening of a second office in Galway City, in the coming weeks, and will be employing 3 new high tech staff members to complement the current support team providing technical support to over 11,000 Irish hosting customers.
