When It Comes to Protecting Your Server, Why Take a Risk?

Maureen Griffith — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:54:20 +0000

Shingles. Sea shells. Shining suits of armor. What do they all share in common? This is not a tongue twister. These are things that all offer protection.

You think about protecting yourself from winter winds by wearing a coat. You prolong the life of your car by having it tuned up now and then. But how much consideration have you given to protecting your vital IT systems? Could your business benefit from a server protection plan?

At Codero, the Server Protection Plan is included with all our Managed Hosting plans. Those companies who currently have unmanaged server plans may want to consider the advantages offered through the Codero Server Protection plan.

If you do not have a risk management plan in place, this plan is a great investment. It could actually save you money in the long run because it safeguards your server operations during an unexpected disruption such as an attack on your server. If your server is compromised and you incur bandwidth overages or lose your server configuration, the Codero Server Protection Plan will waive these bandwidth overages and reinstall the operating system at no charge.

Security predictions for 2011 are in full swing this time of year. It really just makes good business sense to fully protect what is helping to run your business.

What do you think? Your comments are welcome.

Expanded Nehalem Microarchitecture Offering.

Maureen Griffith — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:16:19 +0000

Over the next months, you will not only see changes to our website design, but also changes to our sever line-up. The Core i3 Dual Core 3.07 GHz, the first level of Intel’s new processor family, is a welcome addition to Codero’s Nehalem microarchitecture offering of i5 and i7. Codero is passionate about offering the tools and resources our customers need to succeed. That’s why our IT team is continually examining emerging trends and the latest technology to ensure we provide relevant products and services to our customers.

The introduction of the Core i3 to our product portfolio further ensures that Codero customers have the fastest processing power at a good value. For just $130 per month, the server comes equipped with the following:

4 GB of RAM (upgradable to 16 GB)
250 GB SATA hard drive
6 TB bandwidth
100 Mbit/s uplink port speed
Front side bus speed of 4.8 GT/s
5 IP addresses (additional IP addresses available – requires justification)

Just a reminder, Codero does not require contracts and every server hosted with us is backed by 24/7/365 live support and a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee.

Something else you may want to take a look at is a new dedicated server Deals section on our website. It will be updated on a regular basis…so check it out often. I noticed some of the pricing is REALLY good, which is probably why they’re all listed as “while supplies last” deals.

re•fresh: To Renew or Revitalize – The New Face for www.codero.com.

Sara Newkirk — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:20:25 +0000

While advances in technology have made it easy to have conversations with our customers, we traveled and visited customers face-to-face in the past few months. These discussions led us to discover the things that we do well, and the things that still need work. We’re huge fans of constructive criticism – and view it as a statement of trust and commitment from our customers. As a result, it allows us to work towards an end product that allows everyone to win – so look forward to new and exciting things to keep coming from Codero over the next few months!

One enhancement we’ve rolled out is a refreshed website… with some new elements added to the homepage and throughout the site, we hope that you find the site easier to navigate and information regarding our dedicated servers and managed hosting services more accessible. In today’s world, a company’s website is often one of the first places people go to gather facts and opinions about your company, as well as your brand. If the right elements aren’t there, often people will move on, and move you out of their consideration set. While it’s important to keep the content of your site refreshed and engaging, there comes a time when you realize that the format in which the content is presented must be updated – enter the website refresh stage.

The latest and greatest version of www.codero.com is just the first of many improvements to our online experience and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the site. Seriously…

What do you look for on a website when evaluating a hosting partner?
Do you have a checklist of things that you look for, or is it more about the overall experience?

We WANT your feedback!

Who’s Really Creating New Businesses?

Maureen Griffith — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:10:17 +0000

If you are an entrepreneur, you may want to view the statistics surrounding startup businesses which were compiled by the Kauffman Foundation. Some data may surprise you. These interactive charts make it easy to see who is really creating new businesses and where. The jobs created when startups are established are remarkably durable according to the Foundation.

There are as many unusual ways to start a business as there are people eager to try. Some of the top industries of the decade according to an IBISWorld report are VoIP, eCommerce and online dating. Other top performing industries were tank and armored vehicle manufacturing, petrochemical manufacturing, and warehouse clubs or supercenters like Costco and Walmart.

The rewards of successfully operating your own business are numerous. But in these economic times when unemployment runs high, startups do best when they have the foresight to think big and create a product or service that is not only innovative, but feasible.

No matter how long you have been business, it helps to put the magnifying glass up to your company to see if and when you need to refocus. Codero has begun the redefinition process and will soon be launching innovative initiatives in response to our customers’ needs for efficiency and agility in their infrastructure hosting.

What qualities do you think serve entrepreneurs best? Do you have an idea for an IT product or service that would help your business?

Rewards Program Makes a Point.

Maureen Griffith — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:32:37 +0000

If you are a Codero customer and have not enrolled in the Codero Rewards Program, you owe it to your bottom line to sign up. It is a valuable way to enhance your IT services and products without spending extra money.

As the hosting industry’s first rewards program of its kind, Codero Rewards was designed so that every dollar spent on a dedicated server, managed hosting or custom network configuration earns points towards Codero add-on services. Items may be redeemed from the Codero Rewards Catalog.

Points can accumulate quickly so if you are already a member of the program, check your points regularly because they increase with each dollar you spend with Codero. Points can help you add bandwidth, extra disk space or even managed services.

In all, the Rewards Catalog includes 20 server tools and upgrade options – with more items added on a regular basis.

Even better, each customer’s rate of earning increases over time – from 2 points per dollar after the first month, up to 10 points per dollar after four years – and your earning rate is retroactive to your original start of service.

To get you started with the Codero Rewards, we are giving away points. Codero customers automatically receive 200 points just for joining. Read more details, see terms and conditions, and register at www.codero.com/company/codero-rewards.

Chief Operations Officer for Codero, Ryan Elledge, explains more details in this video:

We welcome your feedback. Has redeeming Codero Rewards helped you out? Is there something you feel should be added to the Rewards Catalog?

What Does It Take To Be An Entrepreneur?

Maureen Griffith — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:04:36 +0000

It is not unusual in a down economy for entrepreneurship to rise. A crisis for a company might open up an opportunity for an employee. For some downsized staff, launching their own business and “working for themselves” is often seen as the silver lining. Do you have what it takes to successfully run your own business? This video by the Kauffman Foundation showcases INC 500 entrepreneurs who do:

A recent post from this blog relates how startup businesses are responsible for fueling job growth. Entrepreneur reports the real economic stimulus is the recession itself. The upside-down economy is actually creating entrepreneurial prospects. With the many digital services available to businesses now, it is easier than ever to start a company…particularly if it is an online organization. You can outsource your technical needs and use services like managed hosting to free up time to focus solely on your core business.

What are your thoughts on starting or running a business? Do you know what kind of questions to ask yourself before you take the leap into entrepreneurship?

Go Green in April with Codero!

Sara Newkirk — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:38:12 +0000

In support of both Earth Day and Arbor Day, we have launched a new program, Codero Plant-a-Tree, allowing customers to have a tree planted in their honor by simply adding $1 to their online orders. Donations values are $1, $5, $10, $15 or $20 and will be planted by a forestry organization at the end of the month to aid in reforestation efforts. View our press release for full details of the program.

As a sign of our commitment at Codero to greening our operations, we joined the USEPA’s Green Power Partnership in 2009, by purchasing renewable energy sourced from wind farms to reduce our carbon footprint. The purchase of Green-e certified RECs (renewable energy credits) allows small- to mid-sized businesses the ability to power their websites and online stores using green energy with this eco-friendly hosting solution.

In addition to the Codero Plant-a-Tree program, be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed as we will be offering green tips throughout the month to help you find ways that you can green your business!
