Leading web hosting provider JaguarPC is now hiring representatives for customer service and technical support positions.

Fulshear, TX (PRESS RELEASE) May 2, 2012 – JaguarPC, a provider of web hosting services including shared web hosting, virtual private server hosting (VPS hosting), and dedicated server hosting plans, announced today that it is accepting applications for new Technical Support Representative and Customer Service Representative positions. This latest recruitment drive is a direct response to the continued growth and popularity of JaguarPC’s competitive web hosting services, as well as the company’s determination to keep service standards high.

“JaguarPC continues to be a leading web host, with great web hosting services ranging from affordable shared hosting plans to professional VPS hosting solutions,” says Greg Landis, CEO at JaguarPC. “Our success is the result of consistently excellent hardware performance, along with dependable customer support. To deliver both of those things, we rely on the great people at the heart of our business. To maintain the standards of service that JaguarPC has become known for, we need more people to join our team.”

Representing a significant investment in the continued growth of the company, JaguarPC’s recruitment of technical support representatives will help to ensure that the hardware and software customers rely on works efficiently. The key responsibilities of this role include proactive server monitoring to guarantee stability and reliability across every web hosting plan, migrating new customers to JaguarPC’s range of hosting solutions, and providing technical support to customers in need of assistance.

Applicants are expected to have an in-depth understanding of how web hosting services work, with experience in installing and using Apache, MySQL, Exim, cPanel & WHM, and Linux. In addition, knowledge of shell scripting and the software required to deploy VPS hosting plans would be an advantage to applicants looking to work for a fast-growing web hosting company. Additionally, JaguarPC is determined to find new team members who can combine their technical expertise with the ability to deliver this insight as excellent customer service to web hosting customers around the world.

“Essentially, our technical support representatives carry out routine administration on servers, as well as more complex, technical tasks as specific situations dictate,” says Landis. “The people we recruit will be the people who really know web hosting servers inside-out and are willing to learn additional skills under the guidance of other team members. But hardware performance and software configuration is only one-half of JaguarPC’s offerings, and that is why it is important that our technical team can also work with customers to keep support standards high.”

Over the years, JaguarPC has become renowned for its customer support and service capabilities, offering help, advice, and assistance, 24/7/365. Whether customers have a technical issue or questions surrounding billing, it is important that the right help is always on-hand. Rather than letting the increased demand from new customers stretch the existing customer service team, JaguarPC plans to employ additional customer service representatives to work with web hosting users, whatever the nature of their inquiry. It is through this combination of the right technical staff and the best customer service staff that JaguarPC is able to provide customers with the service that they deserve.

“Servers, hardware, and software are all important things, but it’s the people that really make JaguarPC special,” says Landis. “This includes our customers and our team. We believe that if we have the best staff, and the happiest staff, we will have the best web hosting services and the happiest customers in the industry. We are determined to find the best people for these new positions at JaguarPC and reward them with competitive compensation, paid vacation, as well as reward programs and bonuses.”

As JaguarPC continues to grow in popularity, the regular expansion of the JaguarPC team is an essential element of maintaining good service. By intelligently recruiting the best technical experts alongside the best customer service staff, JaguarPC is investing its resources and finances where they matter most to the most important people of all – its customers.

JaguarPC, a market leader in web hosting, launches a range of improved Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plans with increases to disk space, RAM, and bandwidth available to existing customers immediately as a free upgrade to their account. Existing customers will be upgraded before the new plan is offered to the public. The new VPS hosting plans add to JaguarPC’s ongoing growth and development with the addition of more powerful VPS hosting services and a newly expanded US-based support team to assist customers 24/7/365 with questions and issues on web hosting and VPS hosting solutions.

“Since the initial launch of our VPS hosting services, we have seen rapid growth in demand for virtualized hosting, with clients approaching us daily to take advantage of the affordable VPS hosting packages we offer,” says Greg Landis, Founder and CEO at JaguarPC. “However, the web hosting industry changes at an incredible pace so we are always committed to improving the hosting services we provide on an ongoing basis. Our new range of VPS hosting plans ensures that we remain trendsetters within the web hosting industry, first upgrading our existing customers to the new specification free of charge, and then offering new customers the best VPS hosting services available on the market.”

Virtual Private Servers offer the control and flexibility of a dedicated server, without the overhead associated with dedicated servers. Accounts are hosted on the same physical machine, but with dedicated resources in a secure partition of the system. In addition to guaranteeing hardware power in terms of RAM and processor speed, a VPS solution also allows customers to effectively manage their own server with maximum control and independence. With more than 13 years experience in the web hosting business, JaguarPC has firmly established itself as a reliable provider of powerful Linux VPS hosting and Windows VPS hosting services for businesses of all sizes. JaguarPC has proactively upgraded all existing VPS customer accounts and are proud to offer an unrivalled 3000GB bandwidth, as well as dramatic increases to disk space and RAM on all subsequent VPS hosting accounts.

“At JaguarPC, we have always understood the importance of VPS hosting plans as part of our hosting services,” says Landis. “VPS technology allows customers to experience the control of a dedicated server, but at a much lower price point than a physical dedicated machine. Our customers are looking for maximized hardware performance without having to make the leap to a dedicated server. JaguarPC customers told us what services they want and we listened.”

JaguarPC’s ongoing relationship with customers enables the VPS hosting company to accurately evaluate their hosting plans regularly and modify VPS hosting packages to accommodate customers’ needs. Opening the lines of communication even further, JaguarPC has recently expanded its team of US-based support technicians, enabling the VPS hosting company to offer 24/7 US-based telephone support as standard on all packages. JaguarPC’s renewed commitment to US-based support services, alongside ticket support, live chat, and email, ensures that JaguarPC is always communicating with customers, ready to answer questions, and resolve issues quickly.

“New services just would not be possible without the ongoing trust and business from our current clients,” says Landis. “It is common in the web hosting industry to promote plans to attract new customers, but we really wanted to do something special as a way of saying thank you to our existing customers. Our philosophy has always been to give our customers what they need to be successful regardless of their size. Our new VPS hosting plans and US-based support team seems like the ideal way to show our appreciation for hosting with JaguarPC.”

With the introduction of these new and improved VPS hosting services and increased resources to create a US-based support team large enough to handle the vast majority of customer issues, JaguarPC has managed to launch a product that entices new customers and satisfies long-term clients alike. Ultimately, the VPS hosting company’s customer appreciation is what truly sets them apart from other web hosts and allows JaguarPC to constantly implement new service offerings and improvements. New and existing customers are encouraged to visit jaguarpc.com to learn more about JaguarPC’s new VPS hosting plans and increased US-based support.

“911 Executive Escalation Service” and new Continuous Data Protection add-on “DataLockBox” bring peace of mind in demanding times

HOUSTON, TX. October 22, 2008 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions for over a decade, today announced the launch of two new services focused on enhancing customer experience and satisfaction. For companies requiring immediate issue resolution, JaguarPC is offering 911 Executive Escalation Service (911 EES) which provides direct access to the company executives. Customers can also directly access DataLockBox powered by R1Soft’s Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backup for only $2.50 a month.

911 EES is a premium offering with a dedicated toll free number which directly connects clients of the service with top executives in JaguarPC’s management team. It provides the ultimate peace of mind for businesses where 100% uptime is an absolute necessity. 911 EES is the failsafe to bypass JaguarPC’s multiple customer service options in the event immediate resolution is required for clients with intensive resource requirements.

“Serving the customer is in our DNA, and the new 911 Executive Escalation Service is an extension of this philosophy,” say Greg Landis, President of JaguarPC. “Every member of our executive team is customer service personnel first and foremost, including me. This new service guarantees that enterprises which demand high availability will always have immediate resolution.”

DataLockBox is available for all JaguarPC clients on shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated/colocation hosting plans. Clients can access the add-on inside their control panel and choose to restore files 24×7 off the actual backups from JaguarPC. For dedicated hosting clients currently subscribed to R1Soft backups, DataLockBox gives them the ability to manage their backups online, set intervals and restore points.

“With the current economy stuck in a slowdown, we’ve made it our top priority to focus on ways to help our customers succeed,” continues Landis. “These two new service offerings are the beginning of many more to come which will enhance our user experience. At JaguarPC we’ve made a strategic decision to focus on continual improvement of internal processes and customer service initiatives. Both 911 EES and DataLockBox help reduce areas of stress for our clients so they can focus on addressing their core business challenges.”

JaguarPC also offers high availability hosting for semi-dedicated or reseller hosting, with custom failover add-on option for added comfort and security. Certified failover experts are available around the clock. Combined with 911 EES and DataLockBox, customers can rest knowing their web sites are in good hands.

Offering businesses virtual private servers as a comparable option to dedicated hosting looks to drive down cost and reduce power consumption of hosting datacenters

HOUSTON, TX. July 16, 2008 – WowVPS! web hosting, providers of virtual private server (VPS) hosting services and a subsidiary of Landis Holdings Inc., today announced a new promotion of 25% off all “Xen” hosting plans starting from only $10.45 per month. Besides reducing ongoing operating costs for companies during tough economic times, shifting usage from dedicated servers to virtual private servers can reduce overall required power consumption.

“Socially responsible web hosting involves making choices that meet a company’s hosting needs while minimizing the impact on the environment,” says Greg Landis, president of WowVPS!. “While the focus has been mainly on new technologies to reduce power consumption, sometimes the simplest answer is selecting the right hosting plan. Our VPS hosting plans offers businesses an attractive option of improved flexibility of dedicated hosting at prices much lower than full dedicated packages.”

WowVPS! utilizes the latest version of VSControl virtualization software from Devpond, another subsidiary of Landis Holdings. VSControl software was developed in-house and eliminates the software cost which often leads to increased VPS hosting prices. WowVPS! offers plans with higher specs than any other VPS provider while maintaining 100% uptime.

WowVPS! starts with the “Xen Awakening” entry level plan, regularly priced at $13.95 per month but on special for only $10.45 per month, and includes:

• 12 GB disk space
• 200 GB bandwidth
• 192 MB or RAM
• Unlimited domains
• Free 3 VPS IP addresses

All WowVPS! “Xen” hosting plans include:

• Full VPS root access
• RAID 10 disk storage
• Guaranteed RAM
• Premium bandwidth
• Multi-core, multi-processor CPUs
• VSControl software
• No oversold resources
• Choice of Linux OS
• No contract obligation; cancel any time
• Online server and service restarts

The new WowVPS! web site includes a community forum, a blog, user-friendly control panel and the NixCore client management software.

HOUSTON, TX. April 4, 2008 – JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions for over a decade, today announced the “Endless Disk Space” promotion that gives clients continuous free upgrades as needed when they reach 80% capacity. Shared hosting clients begin with 50 GB of disk space and semi-dedicated hosting clients start with 100 GB. As soon as 80% capacity is reached, customers can instantly add more with one click from the control panel. When their new capacity approaches 80%, once again they can increase their disk space.

In contrast to misleading industry promotions with unlimited or grossly inflated resources with their hosting packages and bury the conditions for account termination in small-print terms of service, the JaguarPC promotion is straightforward and meant to bring transparency to the battle of disk space.

“The industry has gotten a bit crazy recently with ridiculous numbers being thrown around and hosts knowing full well they wouldn’t be able to handle the load if all their customers took them up on the offer,” says Greg Landis, president of JaguarPC. “We stepped back and asked ourselves what is the right thing to do for our customers? Why don’t we give them peace of mind without making these over the top promises? In essence, Endless Disk Space simply means you will have capacity that always grows with your needs.”

JaguarPC’s new web site includes a community forum, updated web hosting and company blog, user-friendly control panel and the nixcore client management software.

In addition, JaguarPC has made a number of changes:

• Semi-dedicated accounts now have a failover hosting option to provide greater redundancy and peace of mind
• New dedicated server plans have been rolled out
• All reseller plans have had their disk space and bandwidth doubled while keeping the same prices, retroactive for all existing clients
