Private Hosting for scripts that require power!
Shared hosting is designed for scripts such as Wordpress, OsCommerce, Joomla and pretty much everything else in Fantastico. Of course you can use other scripts but one thing to consider is the expected growth of your website. For example, if you have a dating script or a social networking script shared hosting may not be the best solution for you.
At HostUpon we have privatized hosting solutions designed to let people with such scripts find a solid hosting foundation that they won’t need to upgrade or move out of when their sites grow and get tons and tons of traffic. Resource intensive scripts with streaming videos and music, social networks and dating scripts are bound to grow over time and when we created our private hosting plans we kept all this in mind when designing these custom hosting plans.
Hosting for community software and scripts is something our private hosting is specialized for. You get the space and bandwidth you’ll need with the power of of a private server and it’s all managed by HostUpon. You don’t have to worry about updating kernels or apache or any other fancy stuff. You simply host your site on our premium private hosting plans and enjoy the security benefits at the same time.
Our private hosting starts at $49.95 a month (currently on sale!) and is definitely affordable for someone looking for powerful hosting without worrying about managing the server.

New Dedicated Servers at HostUpon
I have some great news to share and I’m sure by reading the title you’re all well aware that we’re now offering a new line of dedicated servers.
As every successful company grows their offerings and product lines expand. At HostUpon we’ve been working to bring the best in shared, reseller and private web hosting services. As of today we have a new line of dedicated servers for our customers to choose from. As always we only use the best hardware and our dedicated servers take no backseat. We’re offering Xeon 3000 and Xeon 7000 series servers.
What makes HostUpon’s dedicated servers different than any other?
Glad you asked! Customers can choose the data center that they prefer as we have the ability to place you in either Seattle- Washington, Dallas- Texas or Washington- D.C.
With Multiple Internet Backbone Connections you can not only choose the server that suits you best but the network location. This is a superb advantage as any real estate mogul will tell you ‘location, location, location!’. Each data center is equipped with Cisco Systems 10G Network, Cisco Guard DDOS Protection, Tipping Point IPS/IDS Protection and Gigabit Speeds from Server to Internet. If you plan on hosting multiple servers we provide Free Server to Server Cross Connects and Gigabit Speeds from Server to Server.
Dedicated hosting at HostUpon is designed for websites and businesses that require their own server for their web operations. You can view our current servers at: http://www.HostUpon.com/dedicated-servers.html
All of our servers have an upgradeable path and you also get to choose the Operating System that suits you best. Our servers come with a minimum of 1Gb of RAM and 250GB SATA II Hard drives.

Best Joomla Hosting
Joomla has really changed the face of web design and CMS projects. The script allows you to create a professional looking website with minimal to no coding knowledge.
HostUpon customers love the script (and how easy it is to install, free with all our plans). I’ve spoken to many customers who consider Joomla to be one of the best CMS scripts on the net. Above all, it is free and open source. Hosting Joomla on our servers allows customers to create a website, create email accounts and use Unlimited space and Bandwidth. It’s a great solution for someone looking to start a website and have the ability to control the content through the Joomla admin panel.
Content management systems such as Joomla! give you full control of your website. You can literally update your site from anywhere in the world. You can add pictures, change themes and colors and create a beautiful site with simple yet advanced features. We’re quite proud to host such a vast array of Joomla! sites!
The developers of Joomla! are always working hard to fix minor bugs and security fixes plsu at HostUpon updating your site to the latest version is literally a few clicks. You can be confident that your site is safe and secure at HostUpon. Updates are done through the Fantastico area of our cPanel control panel.
If you ever have questions about the open source scripts we offer (Wordpress, Joomla!, Mambo, Gallery, B2Evolution and more) just send us a message or come speak with us on Live Chat. Hosting should be simple and giving customers the ability to have a website they can customize after they sign-up is an added bonus.
Managed Private Server Hosting at HostUpon
I’m happy to announce that we have launched our new managed hosting solution, Private Server Hosting. This new approach to web hosting differs from the typical VPS (virtual private server) and dedicated server hosting. With both VPS and Dedicated hosting you are responsible for managing your server and any related security updates etc. The introductory of Private Hosting opens way for a new way to get the power, flexibility and control over your hosting environment without having to have the knowledge to manage a server.
Essentially with our managed private servers you simply manage your websites just as you would on a normal shared hosting account and we manage the server to make sure everything is running smooth. The advantages are endless. The cost alone is a quarter of a dedicated server and the resources are practically the same if not greater. Each server has 4GB of ram and will house a very small number of clients. Each client will received equal share of the resources.
You can view our new private server plans here: www.HostUpon.com/Private-Hosting.html
All plans are currently being offered with a 15% coupon: 15off
Our main goal is to allow customers who may be weary of taking on the unnecessary responsibility of server management and giving them the confidence of running their business while we manage their hosting. They key differences between a shared hosting plan and a private hosting plan are as follows:
- Dedicated IP included with each plan
- Very limited amount of users per server
- Equal share of RAM/Resources
- Priority support via phone/ticket system
- Daily backups
This new service really is a big step for us and our customers as we are trying to provide a solution that will give you the end user an even more robust hosting plan. The benefits of private hosting are much greater than a VPS as no control is lost, just a lower price and peace of mind.
Our Private Managed Hosting starts at $49.95 and you can also apply the 15%off coupon code. As always we’re looking for new ways to improve our offerings and this is just one big step for us!

Not only was the price reduced but you can save an additional 15% off by using the promotional code ‘15off’ on our order form. If you need any assistance do keep in mind we are available around the clock through Live Chat.

Our Starter Plan now includes 700GB of space and 7000GB of bandwidth. The Hosting industry is very competitive so making sure our plans are comparable yet affordable is a priority.
Our commitement to bring more value to our products and services is an ongoing process. I believe having unlimited hostable addon domains plays an important role in the usage of the hosting accounts. The ability to have 5, 10 even 50 domains on a single account is one thing, but having the resources to support it is essential. This is where the value kicks in as customers understand that a price drop is complimented by an increase in resources.
I’ve been so pleased with our growth and we only have our customers to thank. We will continue to excel in this demanding industry and provide the support and infrastructure to meet the needs of customers world-wide.
