The Planet Launches May Promotions with First-Ever Firewall Discount
2008-05-05
HOUSTON, May 5, 2008 – The Planet, the world’s largest privately held
dedicated hosting company, today announced six new promotions for the month of
May. The promotions include the company’s first-ever discount on firewalls, with
savings of up to 26 percent per month on its two popular Check Point solutions.
“The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard requires companies to
have a secure firewall in place when accepting credit card payments,” said
Director of Product Management Urvish Vashi. “Companies that are compromised
face serious risks as well as the loss of revenue and their hard-gained good
reputations if there are breaches to their sites. This promotion signals a great
time for companies to review their security profile and to consider an upgrade
to their hosting infrastructures.”
The following promotions begin today and continue through May 31, 2008, or while
promotional supplies last:
- Firewall Upgrades: The Check Point X16, formerly priced at $89 per
month, is now available for $69, a 22 percent savings. The Check Point XU is now
available for $139 per month – reduced from $189 per month – a savings of 26
percent.
- Double Down Select: This promotion begins today and provides customers
the choice to double their base bandwidth, hard disk or RAM for free on new
orders of the Kentsfield SATA or the Dual Xeon 2.8 IDE.
- Dual Xeon 2.4 SCSI: Now priced at $143 per month – down from $219 –
customers can take advantage of a 35 percent savings on this popular server.
Dedicated Backup Servers: For customers looking for special pricing on backup
servers, the company is offering savings ranging from 13 percent to 29 percent
on 500GB to 6TB servers.
