We are welcoming the New Year with some new product upgrades. This past year was a rough year for many of us due to shortcomings in the global economy. We shall not dwell on the past! At Javapipe we shall plow ahead with optimism for the future of the JAVA hosting industry. Our goal this year is to provide a solid, maintainable and scalable platform for our present and future clients. Javapipe will provide you with a wider spectrum of solutions and will assist you to meet a variety of objectives that your business might require.
Our solutions will cover the following:
- LAMP for PHP/MySQL objectives. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache (web server), MySQL, and PHP.
- Ruby Enterprise to accommodate the growing popularity of Ruby on Rails. Ruby is included with our LAMP hosting solution.
- Dedicated Apache Tomcat hosting as always. We shall continue to provide the "cream of the crop" in this area!
- Remote MySQL Server solution. Great for more involved MySQL-based websites where local shared MySQL solution just simply doesn't cut it any longer.
- Managed Server solutions. We are now posting inventory for lease. We manage these servers for you and will setup the JAVA server environments to meet your objectives. We can also split up a server to utilize Virtual Servers for better server resource utilization. Each quad core server can handle 4 Virtual Servers and rest assured that they come with enough RAM to satisfy your application demands. Managed servers will provide you with plenty of flexibility, better security, ability to run JBOSS, Glassfish, Weblogic, Websphere, and Oracle Database. (any licensing will be customer's sole responsibility)
- Uncapped 100mbit bandwith solutions with our managed servers. This provides ideal bandwidth for customers who simply have an extremely popular site or wish to provide upload/download solutions to the masses.
Lastly, changes to our existing Apache Tomcat hosting packages. We have decided to do away with our Starter, Basic, Growth and Advanced packages and instead provide our clients with one package with Ram allocation flexibility! Our hope is to simplify the products to allow you a more flexible configuration based on your business needs and objectives. Upgrades are $6/month per 32MB of RAM. You may also upgrade your disk space for $5.95/month per 5GB. All JAVA hosting servers utilize RAID protected storage. We are aware that RAID is not 100% fault tolerant and therefore, does not protect your data fully against corruption! As a result, we offer remote daily backups for $5/mo per 5GB of storage. This backup solution keeps 7 days of backups to safe guard your valuable data.
As always, it's a pleasure to serve you all! Keep in mind that we do not see you as our clients but rather our business partners. Your success is our success!
We wish you a happy and a prosperous new year in 2010! |

I find it hard to believe that Internet is 40 years old today! It has definitely come a long way and each and every one us regardless of what we use it for have been involved in defining, shaping and improving it to the point it is today. There are days that I wonder how we used to live without it. Internet today is the true manifestation of the "information super highway" that once we only dreamed of. In the world of entertainment, it has become an important and viable resource. Having access to unlimited number of games, watching movies, listening to music and joining chat rooms, all from the comfort of our leaving rooms! Finding and purchasing products across the globe and utilizing services such as banking, purchasing tickets, reserving hotels, or looking for a job in a matter of minutes would've never been possible without Internet. What a fantastic experience!
Happy 40th Birthday! |

It’s been a wild 2008 starting with a great economic outlook and ending in our current bleak economy.
Despite the economy JavaPipe has positioned itself not only to survive, but to thrive! Already in 2009 we’ve brought in record sales due to our low cost and high service attitude. This hasn’t come easy as all of us here at JavaPipe put in tremendous hours during the holidays to complete our new infrastructure and move everyone over in a ‘somewhat’ seamless fashion. However, we’re not done yet! Just to keep our families wondering who we are, we decided to also implement a new billing system in order to overcome several shortcomings of our old one, this change will be coming fast so stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date as things progress.
‘Out with the old in with the new’ seems to be our new theme for 2009; we also have plans to replace our current support desk but haven’t decided on the juicy details. We’ll keep you informed as to our plans in the coming weeks. Please email us if you have any issues/suggestions that we can address during this planning phase.
We’re hopping for a brighter 2009, our new systems and low cost will help facilitate what we hope to be the best year for all of us! |
