Kualo powers record breaking site, MySkip.com.

LONDON, UK, 30th April 2008 - Kualo Ltd. (www.kualo.com), a leading provider of international web hosting solutions, announced today it's involvement with MySkip.com, a brand new website dedicated to re-use. MySkip.com is a virtual skip where you can either rummage or dispose of useful items that might otherwise end up in landfill - helping to preserve the environment in the process.

MySkip.com contacted Kualo with a plan to attempt the Guinness World Record for the most number of visitors to their web site on launch day. The launch was just one week away, and MySkip needed a web host who could provision a platform to cope with the anticipated demand of this new-eco friendly web site. Their aim is to achieve over 1,000,000 unique visitors to their web site on their launch day.

"We had very little time to prepare the infrastructure required to power MySkip.com" said Craig Luke, Kualo's Operations Director. Within a couple of days of hearing about their record breaking attempt, Kualo had provisioned MySkip.com with a resilient infrastructure to cope with the high anticipated demand. A load balanced cluster of eight web servers and four database servers now powers the site, which underwent significant modification in conjunction with our technical team and the MySkip.com developers to ready it for a high availability hosting. I am pleased to say that so far, the site has held up extremely well with no noticeable reduction in performance whatsoever."

Whilst the advanced infrastructure will only be required during the initial launch week, this 'on tap' availability of resources is just what MySkip.com needed to ensure that the launch of such a worthy cause went as smoothly as possible.

The introduction of hosting services in Redbus Interhouse means that customers can benefit, for the first time, from Kualo’s shared web hosting plans, dedicated servers, and multi-domain reseller web hosting plan from within a European hosting location. The move is set to strengthen the company, who having built a very solid reputation for providing exceptional levels of customer service and support, are now facilitating their customers with a choice of two diverse web hosting locations in the USA and UK. Managing Director, Jo Stonehouse, said of the launch: "I am always happy to be able to offer our clients greater choice. UK based web hosting has been a service requested of us for a long time, often by past clients who left us in search of UK based web hosting and who, having experienced poor levels of service with other companies, were hoping we may widen our scope and provide what they require so that they may return. After many months of planning and a sizable investment, I’m confident that we have made the right choices to enable us to provide the solutions that they are looking for at very affordable prices."

TAMPA, FL, 6h January 2004 - Kualo Ltd (www.kualo.com), an international managed web hosting group headquartered in London, UK, today announced the move to the FreeBSD (www.freebsd.org) operating system from RedHat Linux (www.redhat.com) on all web hosting and web hosting reseller servers.

Following the recent announcement from RedHat Linux that its RedHat Linux server range was no longer going to be supported for bug updates and security fixes, Kualo have switched all servers to rival operating system FreeBSD. Without the support from RedHat, servers can become unstable and insecure; clearly not an option when customers require zero downtime. The alternative to RedHat Linux is called Fedora, a community project designed to replace the RedHat Linux line, totally unsuitable for a professional hosting environment as a result of its young age and overly frequent release cycle. In light of this, it is important to choose an operating system which can continue to provide high levels of service. FreeBSD is designed to be used as a server operating system, offering advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility. It provides robust network services under the heaviest of loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain superb response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes. In fact, putting the fact aside that RedHat Linux support is to be discontinued, the many other benefits FreeBSD can offer clients of Kualo Ltd. places the company with a significant advantage over our competition.

Craig Luke, Operations Director commented of the operating system change "It was a massive task to switch all our shared servers to FreeBSD, which will require each web server to be reformatted and reinstalled with the new operating system, and then client web sites restored as they were before. However to make the transition as smooth as possible we developed a series of scripts which meant we were able to completely replace the operating system with as little as 30 minutes of downtime for some servers. That’s an incredible achievement, and I'm incredibly proud of my team. Already we’ve noticed much lower loads and faster response times on the converted servers."
