Future Protect to provide backup of data in an event of a disaster or hardware failure.

Future Hosting, an Internet solutions provider, announced today it will now offer Future Protect, an innovative data protection service offered free of charge to all virtual private server customers. Dedicated server customers can choose to add Future Protect for an additional monthly fee, based on their individualized data size requirements and backup frequency.

The company explained that with Future Protect, their customer data is backed up every six hours and stored on a remote server. In the event of a disaster or hardware failure, they can quickly and seamlessly restore backed up data, minimizing any potential downtime and providing an extra layer of security. It also added that Future Protect utilizes R1Soft’s continuous data protection technology to offer such frequent backups.

The company states that currently, Future Protect backups are only available for disaster recovery. It further states that it is also encouraging their customers to keep their own backups to be used in the event of an accidental deletion or other case of human error.

“For businesses operating on the Internet, we recognize that data security and service uptime are absolutely mission-critical,” said Charles Kowalski, Future Hosting COO. “Hardware failures and other disasters are often unforeseen and unpreventable. Even so, businesses need assurances that their data will survive unexpected situations, and that recovery will be quick. Future Protect meets that need and offers an important level of security.

Company enhances the non-English speaking Internet by allowing individuals to register web site names with native Spanish characters.

Afilias, a registry services provider, announced that web hosting users can now register .INFO domain names that include the Spanish characters á, é, í, ñ, ó, ú, and ü. The introduction of these new domains, termed Internationalized Domain Names, now enables Spanish-speakers to establish Web sites using words commonly used in Spanish such as película.info, teléfono-móvil.info, Ídolo.info, Piñata.info, and others.

The registry states that this set of Spanish characters adds to their broad support of IDNs, bringing the total number of languages supported to ten. IT also states that these include scripts for Spanish, German, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Hungarian, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Korean.

The company also explained that IDN registrations are based on a technical standard called Punycode that was approved in 2003. .INFO was the first generic domain to automatically accept standards-compliant registrations in 2004 and IDN adoption has slowly grown since all common Web browsers including Mozilla, Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 7 now allow users to natively type in IDN addresses and access these web sites. It also declared that those interested in registering .INFO IDN names should contact an ICANN-accredited and Afilias-authorized registrar of their choice.

“With over 100 million Spanish-speaking Internet users today, 13 million of which are in the United States alone, we believe that the introduction of Spanish IDNs represents an important addition for .INFO and for the growing base of Spanish-speaking users on the Internet,” said Roland LaPlante, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Afilias. “As the only truly global Internet extension, .INFO Web sites are a natural way for individuals, organizations, and institutions to convey information in their local, native Spanish language.”
