HOUSTON – The Planet, now the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced the launch of Ready-To-Go servers,^* providing customers with the ability to bring new servers online in under an hour.  With Ready-To-Go servers, customers can easily add new servers to keep pace with unexpected demand.  The new offering now becomes a regular solution in the company’s product portfolio.

Ready-To-Go servers are available in three server configurations, and offer the RedHat Linux operating system and the cPanel control panel.  With the choice of three processors -- including a Pentium 4, Conroe 3060 or Dual Xeon -- the Ready-To-Go servers provide the ideal price/performance mix for customers interested in quickly adding new servers to their lineup, without a premium price for quick activation.
