Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada - LFC Hosting today announces its launch of the Windows 2003 platform on its hosting network.

LFC Hosting's business-oriented hosting plans start at only $9.95/month and come with more than 50 valuable features across-the-board typically only included with the high-level plans of competing services, like 1500 MB of disk space, 200 e-mail accounts, unlimited MySQL 5.0 and MS SQL Server databases, ASP 3.0 and .NET, unsurpassed support for Linux-based technologies like PHP 5, Perl and Python, Cold Fusion MX, JSP and Servlets, unlimited mailing lists, store builder & SSL, unbeatable SPAM and Virus protection, unsurpassed 24/7 technical support and a 99.99% uptime guarantee. This unique approach provides LFC's thousands of business clients the competitive advantage they are looking for online. Alongside LFC's upgrade to Windows 2003 is an upgrade to the more reliable, stable and secure IIS 6.0 and support for the new FrontPage 2003, providing small business with even more power to develop and maintain their websites without seeking outside help. Robert Sauchyn, LFC CEO says, "We have invested a significant amount of research and development into improving and tweaking the Microsoft Windows platform to provide superior security, reliability, performance and user isolation than a standard shared hosting setup. For example, we have developed software that takes a bare-bones Windows server and automatically turns it into a fully functional web server in under one hour, ensuring that all the settings required to optimize a server's security, reliability and performance are applied to every server we set up. We have taken that extensive knowledge and applied it to Windows 2003, including re-writing and implementing new enhancements to our unique in-house automation software." The result of improvements to Windows 2003, IIS 6.0 and FrontPage 2003 along with LFC's development endeavours are: Enhanced Windows 2003, IIS 6.0 and FrontPage 2003 security, reliability and performance Full integration with the LFC's award-winning Control Panel, another in-house innovation A new feature of IIS 6.0 called "App Pools" enables each application to run in complete isolation. LFC Hosting has taken advantage of this feature to better isolate customers on the same server, ensuring that a single customers' code and scripts will not impact reliability for any other business client. Superior web-based remote administration offered by Windows 2003 improves response time in emergency situations. LFC Hosting has also fully integrated Windows 2003 with its Nagios-driven 24x7 monitoring system. Nagios monitors each server for optimal operation at all times, and in the event of a problem, attempts to correct it automatically while also immediately notifying a technician 24/7. Andrew MacCorquodale, LFC VP says, "If there is one piece of advice that I can give to a small business looking to successfully compete online, it is to not underestimate the importance of a business-focused web host. In my opinion, if you are not hosting with LFC, your business is not realizing its full potential online by taking advantage of our unsurpassed customer service, reliability and e-commerce capabilities that our clients depend on and appreciate. Our service is absolutely ideal for a range of users from business people to Internet professionals and resellers."
