Novi, Michigan - (The Hosting News) - October 30, 2008 - Web hosting company, and Internet Solutions provider serving small to medium sized businesses internationally, Future Hosting, has partnered with Pingdom, to offer proactive managed VPS server monitoring services.

Sam Nurmi, CEO of Pingdom remarked, ''Constant monitoring of important servers and services is a must in today’s demanding online business climate. Future Hosting customers will receive a huge value boost by the addition of third-party monitoring, ensuring that the infrastructure is always functional and available. We here at Pingdom are happy to provide this monitoring for Future Hosting and its customers.''

Through the partnership, Future Hosting managed Virtual Private Server (VPS) customers are able to select their choice of monitoring packages from Pingdom. Future Hosting will cover the cost of basic server monitoring, and additional monitoring services are available to Future Hosting customers from Pingdom at a reduced cost.

Pingdom will also include Future Hosting technicians as a contact on monitored servers. In the event of an unresponsive server, technicians will automatically be notified via email of the problem and dispatched immediately. In most cases, technicians will have resolved the problem before the client was even aware of the loss of service.

Charles Kowalski, COO of Future Hosting explained, ''Our managed VPS customers deserve a proactive approach to server management. As we have made clear before, we'd rather fix whatever problem their server is having before it becomes a problem for their business - without them having to worry about it. Pingdom puts one more tool in our toolbox and allows our technicians to work faster and with a greater level of quality assurance. Since Pingdom provides off-network monitoring, we are notified of problems that may be present in specific geographic areas.''

Virtual Private Server customers also receive Server Doctor. Developed by Future Hosting, Server Doctor is a revolutionary system that provides a proactive approach to maintaining Virtual Private Servers - automating everything from account provisioning to weekly security scans.

As the developer of the Server Doctor solution, Future Hosting is an IT company focused primarily on web hosting and other high-tech internet solutions. Founded in 2000, the company has built a reputation for high-quality customer service including instant server reboots, on-demand OS reloads and 3-hour Service Level Agreements.
